Claim:
1. A method comprising: obtaining a reference tracking performance ratio and a disturbance rejection performance ratio associated with a model predictive control (MPC) controller; filtering an output target signal for the MPC controller using a first filter based on the reference tracking performance ratio; filtering a feedback signal for the MPC controller using a second filter based on the disturbance rejection performance ratio; and providing the filtered signals to the MPC controller, the MPC controller configured to use the filtered signals to control an industrial process; wherein the reference tracking performance ratio defines a ratio between a desired closed-loop reference tracking response time of the MPC controller and an open-loop response time of the industrial process; and wherein the disturbance rejection performance ratio defines a ratio between a desired closed-loop disturbance rejecting response time of the MPC controller and the open-loop response time of the industrial process.
