The idea of sustainable development (SD) forces companies to combine the quality products with simultaneous care natural environment. These actions should start product design process. aim study was create a modified method Quality Function Development (QFD-CE), which will support new or improve existing on market. In proposed integrates techniques such as: SMARTER method, brainstorming (BM), s...

The interdisciplinary complexity of modern construction projects has made meeting customer needs and requirements a difficult task. Under the current model, decisions affecting the early stages of design when designers have the largest impact on the final cost and functionality of a given product are approached in an informal and non-homogeneous manner. This study proposes an alternative approa...

Research on Component-Oriented Business Applications has focussed on Specifications of Components and Component Markets. Another approach based on Mass Customization and Software Product Lines is presented here. Mass Customization is a strategic concept used in many industries to offer products that are customer-individual, but based on a limited number of building blocks. Thus, customer value ...

The key factors in the decision-making process are uncertainty, probability, and impact. appropriate construction methods must be selected based on review safety requirements, which to adjusted accordingly depending highly uncertain continually changing technological requirements. evaluation of method should account for various technical characteristics method, including changeable risk reducti...

Purpose – The study aims to propose a methodology with systematic metrics for logistics service providers (LSPs) to develop their environmental sustainability performance in the context of green supply chain management. Design/methodology/approach – An integrated analytical approach which combines Analytical Network Process (ANP) with Quality Function Deployment (QFD) is proposed to develop LSP...

Sustainable supply chain management (SSCM) provides economic, social end environmental requirements in material and service flows occurring between suppliers, manufacturers and customers. SSCM structure is considered as a prerequisite for a sustainable success. Thus designing an effective SCM structure provides competitive advantages for the companies. In order to achieve an effective design of...

An integrated methodology using quality function deployment (QFD) and analytic network process (ANP) is proposed to determine and prioritize the engineering requirements of a cast part, based on the customer needs, for selecting and evaluating an appropriate rapid prototyping (RP) based route for tooling fabrication. The QFD incorporates a planning matrix to translate the customer needs into me...

The paper is concerned with the problem of the `̀ prioritization’ ’ of technical design characteristic s of a product. An interactive algorithm has been developed with the aim to better support the engineering design process by means of quality function deployment (QFD). The algorithm tries to soften customer approach to QFD in those situations in which customers are not able to give a `̀ signifi...

The paper attempts to integrate the Quality Function Deployment (QFD) method in the New Product Development (NPD) cycle. We propose a methodology to evaluate the voice of the customers in designing innovative products. The results presented after applying the methodology focus on the first stage of requirements capture for both the design phase and for the development of the actual product phas...

The purpose of this study is to introduce an application of fuzzy centroid-based approach to ranking the customer requirements using QFD with competition considerations for Diba Fiberglass, an Iranian Company. The illustrated approach, not only focuses on the normal fuzzy numbers, but also considers the non-normal fuzzy numbers to capture the true customer requirements. To this end, first, we p...
