Quality function deployment (QFD) is a methodology for translating customer wants (WHATs) into relevant engineering design requirements (HOWs) and often involves a group of cross-functional team members from marketing, design, quality, finance and production and a group of customers. The QFD team is responsible for assessing the relationships between WHATs and HOWs and the interrelationships be...

Quality function deployment (QFD) has been widely recognized as an effective means to develop quality products that can maximize customer satisfactions. This paper presents a novel extension to the fuzzy QFD methodology using rough set theory, with the aim to facilitate decision making in the early stages of product development and lead to the establishment of a QFD-based expert system for prod...

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...

The purpose of this research is to be able provide alternative product design updates that are acceptable consumers. method used the Quality Function Deployment (QFD) approach. QFD a structured planning and development method, clearly determine desired consumer needs then carry out systematic calculations, ultimately produce products can satisfy results study obtained highest rating value was t...

The critical product planning phase, early in the product development cycle, requires a design tool to set engineering priorities, capable of selecting the preferred design concept and setting target levels of engineering performance to guide the later product development stages, while considering the needs of both the consumer and producer. The Quality Function Deployment (QFD) method was deve...

The main goals of this research are to determine customers’ requirements from hotels based on TripAdvisor and the technical capabilities fulfill requirements. Latent Dirichlet Allocation (LDA) used in is method customer review TripAdvisor. An output LDA as input Voice Customer (VOC) quality function deployment (QFD). A hotel selected be a case study for implementing integration QFD. Questionnai...

The paper proposes a fuzzy logic-based group decision making (GDM) approach, which can be used for quality function deployment (QFD) in the development of product improvement strategies. Decision makers can state their preferences in various ways, including incomplete preferences which are difficult to evaluate in a coherent way. We extend the QFD methodology by using a GDM approach which consi...

The New Lanchester Theory links Business Objectives to market share using a transfer function, known from Six Sigma and Quality Function Deployment (QFD). The transfer function can effectively be used for prioritizing new features for software products. However, it is not easy to define this transfer function. This paper presents current practices and new opportunities for software marketing th...

The ERNE project is briefly introduced. The single shot nature of an instrument development project highlights the importance of the concept of process. Useful concepts of process management are reviewed. Trade-off situations and optimisation of diverse requirements are commonplace in space instrument projects. The Quality Function Deployment (QFD) method is discussed as a potential tool for qu...

Today most research related to manufacturing strategy development concentrates on descriptive processes and conceptual models, and therefore lacks the capability of assessing the supportive degree of manufacturing strategy to competitive priorities, and is also difficult to assess the congruence among various decisions of the manufacturing strategy. This paper proposes an approach for manufactu...
