In this ever-changing business scenario, the manufacturing product industries have to be in position to rec-ognize the ever changing pulse and demands of the market. Customer satisfaction and quality management has become a strategic issue for companies in the new millennium. Quality Function Deployment (QFD) lit-erature suggests that building up the House of Quality (HoQ) is not a difficult ta...

Quality function deployment (QFD) has been widely used in many fields; it is one of the structured approaches that are used to translate customer needs into specific quality development. However, in the traditional QFD approach, each element’s interdependence and customer requirements (CRs) for green supply are not usually treated systematically. The important function of green product lifecycl...

In this study, a novel model called Function Deployment Model (FDM) for decision making in new product development is introduced. To demonstrate its usefulness pragmatically, the model is applied to the design problem of development of the micro/nano injection molding machine. Based on the Quality Function Deployment (QFD) technique, this model translates the customer needs to engineering chara...

Customers are ultimate judges of products. In order to produce the world-ranking product, customer information must be embodied in the part of production and hierarchy of control. This paper firstly points out the deficiency of QFD and the superiority of TRIZ. And then it constructs the application system of integrating QFD and TRIZ based on the theoretical rationale of the integration. The mai...

This paper identifies the Quality Function Deployment (QFD) as a tool in eco-design that can be used to identify customer desires, needs and requirements and to evaluate and characterise them into different categories, thereby building up an overall picture of customer value. It further argues that QFD can be more effective to the extent that it incorporates green engineering objectives, becaus...

technology development projects, unlike many other kinds of projects don’t have pre-defined goals or clear implementation methods at the beginning of the project. among other uncertainties that any project could have, technology development projects have a high degree of uncertainty in the definition of project. for this reason, conventional project management methods such as those provided in ...

Vendor performance plays a key role in price, quality, timely delivery and service in achieving the goals of the supply chain. Given this, today's supplier performance has become a critical element in the success or failure of a company. In this study, an idealized planning model with multi-criteria decision-making approach with network analysis tool based on the expansion of fuzzy quality func...
