Characteristics of Quality Function Deployment 1. Quality function deployment (QFD) is a “method to transform user demands into design quality‚ to deploy the functions forming quality‚ and to deploy methods for achieving the design quality into subsystems and component parts‚ and ultimately to specific elements of the manufacturing process.”‚ as described by Dr. Yoji Akao‚ who originally developed QFD in Japan in 1966‚ when the author combined his work in quality assurance and quality control points

Quality Function Deployment It is a systematic approach to design based on a close awareness of customers desires‚ coupled with the integration of corporate function groups. It consists in translating customer desires into design characteristics for each stage of the product development. (Rosenthal‚ 1992) Ultimately the goal of QFD is to translate often subjective quality criteria into objective ones that can be quantified and measured and which can be then used to design and manufacture the

characteristics which cannot be obtained by other processes. Quality planning of each process represents an important activity in assuring the unimproved quality of the final products. QFD (Quality Function Deployment) is an important tool in production planning‚ which starts with identifying the customer requirements and prioritization of the steps to be achieved in getting the desired demands. QFD method is recommended to be used for strategic deployment of the aims which refer to product and company market

techniques‚ namely Quality Function Deployment (QFD) and Value Engineering (VE)‚ has been focused with a case study. In this case study‚ QFD-TC (Target Costing) methodology has been executed in a SME (Small and medium enterprises) and it is showed that‚ integrating target costing with QFD and VE techniques is highly effective on managing the costs of product and overall production process. Introduction / Motivation In today’s world‚ customers demand increased functionality and quality with lower prices

1. Why is quality a difficult term to define? How can we improve our understanding of quality? As we can see quality is difficult term to define because quality is not an attribute of the object or product‚ it is a perception that relates a person observing or using a product to that product. Hence‚ quality is not absolute‚ but relative. In the lifecycle of a product‚ quality might be different along the stages. A new product could be a quality product if it is chock full of bells and whistles

“House of Quality”‚ the basic design tool of the management approach also known as Quality Function Deployment (QFD) originated in 1972 at Mitsubishi’s Kobe shipyard site. Previously it was only used by Hewlett-Packard‚ AT&T‚ Digital Equipment‚ ITT Ford and General Motors. Now a day‚ the Japanese manufacturers of consumer electronics‚ home appliances‚ clothing‚ integrated circuits‚ synthetic rubber‚ agricultural engines and designer of services like swimming schools and retail outlets and even for
