Companies pursuing extension of their activities and new companies in establishment phase are using various concepts and techniques to consider location decision, because location greatly a®ects both ̄xed and variable costs and on the overall pro ̄t of the company. This paper suggests a new use of quality function deployment (QFD) for facility location selection problem instead of applying it to ...

The decision on the specification of a product development process based on the general platform is determined by the customer requirement/needs analysis, that is, the quality function deployment, through which common parts/components, options, and so on, are determined and MC level (number of derivative products) is decided through the requirements of customers. However, the current QFD method...

quality function development (qfd) is a planning tools used to fulfill customer expectation and qfd is a systematic process to translating customer requirement (whats) into technical description (hows). qfd aims to maximize customer satisfactions related to enterprise satisfaction. the inherent fuzziness of relationships in qfd modeling justifies the use of fuzzy regression for estimating the r...

customer satisfaction level depends on level that his expectations would be answered. with identifying customer expectations and implementation them in qfd, this ensures that important and critical demands of customer have been considered. qfd have been used and use for translating customer expectations to different subjects. what has been considered in this study, is qfd usage for translating ...

Affected by customers’ lack of experiences and personal preferences, the importance of customer demand as 0 by only using Rough Set method frequently occurs. Existing methods could not determine this importance of indicators, so it is usually deleted. A new method combining Rough Set and Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) to determine importance of customer demand in Quality Function Deployment (Q...

This paper proposes a novel methodology, QFD based 3D morphological charts, to support variant design of simple and technically mature products. Customer’s requirements are incorporated in developing the morphological charts through a holistic approach, One-Step QFD. In contrast to the traditional cascading deployment, members from marketing, design, and manufacturing teams concurrently derive ...

Assessing software product quality has become more and more relevant and important to managers, even though it is still challenging to define and measure the detailed quality criteria and to integrate them into quality models. Software engineering standards can help establish a common language for these detailed criteria and, in parallel, implement a model of quality from its high-level concept...

This review emphasizes the close analogy between hard QCD instantoninduced chirality violating processes in deep-inelastic scattering and electroweak instanton-induced baryon plus lepton number (B + L) violating processes in Quantum Flavor Dynamics (QFD). Recent information about QCD instantons, both from lattice simulations and from the H1 experiment at HERA, can be used to learn about the fat...

More specific knowledge about Quality Function Deployment (QFD) has grown rapidly. There are many studies on the application of QFD in various industrial sectors including manufacturing, construction and services. is a tool that can be used to assist companies improving services by translating consumer desires into technical characteristics company. This paper aims provide broad understanding h...
