An efficient orthogonal array was constructed with near balance and near the orthogonal property for the lowest common multiples of runs, using the balance coefficient criteria for determining near balance and J2 optimality criteria for orthogonal properties. The optimization and distance function forms of balance coefficient criteria were used for the classification of the designs. The Minimum Moment Aberration (MMA) and Minimum Aberration Projection (MAP) are compared using the optimization and distance function to determine the near balance criteria. The result indicated that, the MMA and MAP criteria was efficient using the optimization procedure of the balance coefficient.
