In recent years, several Total Quality Management (TQM) techniques have been introduced for better Software Quality Management. One of these techniques is Quality Function Deployment (QFD). This papers shows how QFD has been applied to an existing software quality assessment technique, the Quality Factor technique (QF). This improved technique, QFD, uses ISO/IEC 9126:2000 standards in its imple...

(QFD) tools are limited in their use and their reuse. Computational tools can alleviate these limitations. In addition, Artiicial Intelligence (AI) tools can further enhance the functionality of QFD tools. A graph-based information representation is proposed as the basis for integrating various QFD and AI tools. An architecture of a computational QFD (CQFD) tool based on the graph-based mod-eli...

A combined two established techniques, namely the Quality Function Deployment (QFD) and the Analytic Network Process (ANP) use in product development process. In this paper shows the how to use ANP decision making tool in QFD matrix. Combine the QFD and ANP method to determine the overall priorities of ECs. The ANP is a multi criteria decision-making method used to derive relative priority from...

Abstract Quality Function Deployment (QFD) is an approach to translate customer requirements into technical requirements for a product or service. The traditional QFD provides a fundamental analysis, but it is still inconvenient when decision making in technical design should address business objection. The competition strategies and the resource allocation for this improvement planning are ess...

Quality Function Deployment (QFD) and Target Costing (TC) are two important phases in product design cycle. This paper proposes a methodology to integrate QFD and TC. TC is a cost management method it makes the planning group focus on the customer requirements and product characteristics for which they are willing to pay for the products. QFD identifies the customer requirements in initial phas...

In this paper the capability of a customer focused quality engineering technique called “Quality Function Deployment (QFD)” have been reviewed. A comprehensive perspective of QFD and its potential areas for improvement have been provided, which could serve as an opportunity for further investigations. It has been found that comparing with other quality approaches, QFD is the most applicable tec...

A comprehensive review of the Quality Function Deployment (QFD) literature is made using extensive survey as a methodology. The most important results of the study are: (i) QFD modelling and applications are one-sided; prioritisation of technical attributes only maximise customer satisfaction without considering cost incurred (ii) we are still missing considerable knowledge about neural network...

One of the main problems within concurrent engineering is the visibility of activities and knowledge across perspectives. Quality Function Deployment (QFD) is a method to enhance communication between developers of different views. It is based on reconciled planning and communication procedures arranged around a form called House-of-Quality (HoQ). Descriptions like "Listening to the Voice of th...

Quality function deployment (QFD) help to realize significant reduction in product design cost and development time. The QFD process includes ranking customer preferences, rating the competitors, and parts deployment for the new or existing product. This study is carried out to understand the QFD concepts and implement this concept into the redesign of Monoblock submersible pump according to th...

This paper presents an approach to the application of Quality Function Deployment that brings together the models developed by Don Clausing (Enhanced QFD) and Akao. In this way, the proposed approach benefits from focusing, at the same time, at: parameter extraction, systematizing the decision taking process within its matrices (Enhanced QFD); and the identification of relationships among diffe...
