(QFD) tools are limited in their use and their reuse. Computational tools can alleviate these limitations. In addition, Artiicial Intelligence (AI) tools can further enhance the functionality of QFD tools. A graph-based information representation is proposed as the basis for integrating various QFD and AI tools. An architecture of a computational QFD (CQFD) tool based on the graph-based mod-eli...

A combined two established techniques, namely the Quality Function Deployment (QFD) and the Analytic Network Process (ANP) use in product development process. In this paper shows the how to use ANP decision making tool in QFD matrix. Combine the QFD and ANP method to determine the overall priorities of ECs. The ANP is a multi criteria decision-making method used to derive relative priority from...

In this paper a model based QFD (MB-QFD) is introduced, and the different representations for design analysis of complex systems are discussed. Sensitivity analysis is a useful tool for trade studies and to achieve an overview of the importance of different aspects of the design. The introduction of an hierarchical aggregated design influence matrix greatly improves the ability to handle large ...

The QFD Quality Function Deployment technique large scope of application, has in this article, an approach based on how it is connected within the Technological Management Tools (TM Tools) range elected by the authors. Market Analysis, Technology Forecast, Benchmarking, Teambuilding, Networking, Creativity, Change management and others tools, depends strongly for its success. Employees involvem...

Quality Function Deployment (QFD) and Target Costing (TC) are two important phases in product design cycle. This paper proposes a methodology to integrate QFD and TC. TC is a cost management method it makes the planning group focus on the customer requirements and product characteristics for which they are willing to pay for the products. QFD identifies the customer requirements in initial phas...

In this paper the capability of a customer focused quality engineering technique called “Quality Function Deployment (QFD)” have been reviewed. A comprehensive perspective of QFD and its potential areas for improvement have been provided, which could serve as an opportunity for further investigations. It has been found that comparing with other quality approaches, QFD is the most applicable tec...

This paper presents the concepts and principles of Quality Function Deployment (QFD) as they have been implemented by Ford company. The paper illustrates the essential linkages between external & internal customers to suppliers (i.e., 'Voice-Quality-Satisfaction' Chains). It discusses the various arguments and proposals that link together the end user customers voice to the internal customer-su...

Quality function deployment (QFD) is applied to university education system in this paper. It discusses in detail the various aspects and tools associated with QFD. Now a day’s employment competition is fiercer because of global economic crisis. So how to design education program for improving undergraduate competitiveness is focused. QFD theory is applied to education program design for satisf...

This paper describes a proposal of a systemic model for applying QFD, designed to reduce its application difficulties. This model is constructed based on Axiomatic Design (AD). The paper presents the steps of this on-going research project, namely: a literature analysis, a field research to collect empirical data, and the application of AD. The results from those steps made possible to establis...

A comprehensive review of the Quality Function Deployment (QFD) literature is made using extensive survey as a methodology. The most important results of the study are: (i) QFD modelling and applications are one-sided; prioritisation of technical attributes only maximise customer satisfaction without considering cost incurred (ii) we are still missing considerable knowledge about neural network...
