Abstract:

Quality function deployment (QFD) is a customer-driven quality management and product development system for achieving higher customer satisfaction. It is necessary to determine relationships between customer requirements (CRs) and technical requirements (TRs), as well as correlation among the TRs themselves. Such data are usually ambiguous and fuzzy and people have different judgments about these relations. In this research, to cope with the vague nature of the product development process, a fuzzy group decision-making approach in QFD has been suggested. Also an integrated framework based on QFD and linear physical programming is proposed to determine the fulfillment level of TRs and to maximize overall customer satisfaction. At last, an application for a specific product in ESFARAYEN INSUSTERIAL COMPLEX, which produces heavy steel parts, is presented to illustrate the proposed approach. The results of the model show the optimal level of each technical requirement as well as the allocated budget to each of them so that customer satisfaction of the manufactured product based on four customer requirements has been within ideal and desirable ranges.

A Fuzzy Mixed-integer Goal Programming Model for Determining an Optimal Compromise Mix of Design Requirements in Quality Function Deployment

Quality function deployment is a well-known customer-oriented design procedure for translating the voice of customers into a final production. This is a way that higher customer satisfaction is achieved while the other goals of company may also be met. This method, at the first stage, attempts to determine the best fulfillment levels of design requirements which are emanated by customer needs. ...

A combined fuzzy linear regression and fuzzy multiple objective programming approach for setting target levels in quality function deployment

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...

A new mixed integer linear programming model for product development using quality function deployment

Quality function deployment (QFD) is a product development process performed to maximize customer satisfaction. In the QFD, the design requirements (DRs) affecting the product performance are primarily identified, and product performance is improved to optimize customer needs (CNs). For product development, determining the fulfillment levels of design requirements (DRs) is crucial during QFD op...
