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...
