The paper is concerned with the problem of the `̀ prioritization’ ’ of technical design characteristic s of a product. An interactive algorithm has been developed with the aim to better support the engineering design process by means of quality function deployment (QFD). The algorithm tries to soften customer approach to QFD in those situations in which customers are not able to give a `̀ signifi...

Sustainable supply chain management (SSCM) provides economic, social end environmental requirements in material and service flows occurring between suppliers, manufacturers and customers. SSCM structure is considered as a prerequisite for a sustainable success. Thus designing an effective SCM structure provides competitive advantages for the companies. In order to achieve an effective design of...

The idea of sustainable development (SD) forces companies to combine the quality products with simultaneous care natural environment. These actions should start product design process. aim study was create a modified method Quality Function Development (QFD-CE), which will support new or improve existing on market. In proposed integrates techniques such as: SMARTER method, brainstorming (BM), s...

Abstract Vendor Selection Problem (VSP) has been considered in this paper as an integrated method of Fuzzy Analytic Hierarchy Process (FAHP) and Quality Function Deployment (QFD) in the pharmaceutical company. In QFD method, determining the importance of the "weights" for the customer requirements is an essential and crucial issue. FAHP has been used to determine the importance of the "we...

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...

The key factors in the decision-making process are uncertainty, probability, and impact. appropriate construction methods must be selected based on review safety requirements, which to adjusted accordingly depending highly uncertain continually changing technological requirements. evaluation of method should account for various technical characteristics method, including changeable risk reducti...

This article constructs a distribution’s location model, from the perspective of a firm’s customers, suppliers, and employees, by applying a systematic quality function deployment (QFD) approach. The proposed approach aims to assist a distribution company’s location decision in selecting an optimal location that satisfies the overall location requirements. The QFD procedure began by collecting ...

This paper proposes an eco-design method to systematically generate design concepts for the reduction of environmental impacts. The method is based on the integration of quality function deployment (QFD) and functional analysis (FA) at the early design stage. While QFD provides a framework to reflect the “voice of environment” in the design planning and evaluations, FA focuses on the functional...
