Fuzzy quality function deployment (QFD) has been extensively used for translating customer requirements (CRs) into product design requirements (DRs) in fuzzy environments. Existing approaches, however, for rating technical importance of DRs in fuzzy environments are found problematic, either incorrect or inappropriate. This paper investigates how the technical importance of DRs can be correctly...

one of the most important strategies for governments to increase the efficiency of different economic sectors, including public services such as water, is to protect and strengthen the private sector. bot and boo contracts are among the most common and popular procedures of development of participation and investment from private sector. in this context, providing a good basis for the selection...

Quality function deployment (QFD) is a systematic process for translating customer needs into engineering characteristics, and then communicating them throughout the enterprise in a way to ensure that details are quantified and controlled. The inherent fuzziness of relationships in QFD modeling justifies the use of fuzzy regression for estimating the relationships between both customer needs an...

Limited business resources and a fierce market competition require quality management which considers stakeholders’ needs. For every production company important stakeholders are suppliers of components embedded in the final product. The selection of suppliers of product components plays a very important role in the realization of the production process. Supplier selection is a multi-criteria d...

process capability indices (pcis) can be used as an effective tool for measuring product quality and process performance. in classic quality control there are some limitations which prevent a deep and flexible analysis because of the crisp definition of pca‟s parameters. fuzzy set theory can be used to add more flexibility to process capability analyses. in this study, the fuzzy x ba and mrx ba...

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...
