Under another concept, called "quality function deployment," engineers identify product features noticed by customers.

QFD - quality function deployment, also known as the house of quality approach.

These connections or correlations may be based on published literature, engineering studies, or formal programs such as quality function deployment.

Other areas have included forecasting, total quality management, business process re-engineering, quality function deployment, and the balanced scorecard.

Quality Function Deployment & Six Sigma.

With the late Shigeru Mizuno, he developed Quality Function Deployment (a group decision making technique).

Akao, Y., History of Quality Function Deployment in Japan.

Quality function deployment (QFD)

Learn how to use a Quality Function Deployment (QFD)

This method was called Quality Function Deployment (QFD).

QFD: Captures the voice of the customer and translates it into engineering requirements using Quality Function Deployment methods.

It starts with quality function deployment (QFD) analysis to establish customer requirements and to identify important design requirements with a special emphasis on modularity.

The system, known as quality function deployment, or Q.F.D., has been in use in Japan for several years but is only now gaining favor in the United States.

More precisely, using the Quality Function Deployment approach, these measurable attributes are the "hows" that need to be enforced to enable the "whats" in the Software Quality definition above.

Quality Function Deployment (QFD) makes use of the Kano model in terms of the structuring of the Comprehensive QFD matrices.

A systematic approach to discovering inconsistency is used in PREview, loosely based on the House of Quality used by Quality Function Deployment (QFD).

Glenn Mazur introduced this term into Quality Function Deployment (QFD, a quality system for new products where manufacturing has not begun) to mean the customer's place of business or lifestyle.

It is a part of the Quality Function Deployment (QFD) and it utilizes a planning matrix to relate what the customer wants to how a firm (that produces the products) is going to meet those wants.

Quality Function Deployment - Quality function deployment (QFD) is a structured methodology that incorporates mathematical tools used to identify and quantify customers' requirements and translates them into key critical parameters.

DFSS is largely a design activity requiring specialized tools including: quality function deployment (QFD), axiomatic design, TRIZ, Design for X, design of experiments (DOE), Taguchi methods, tolerance design, Robustification and response surface methodology.

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."

They are generally conducted at the start of any new product, process, or service design initiative in order to better understand the customer's wants and needs, and as the key input for new product definition, Quality Function Deployment (QFD), and the setting of detailed design specifications.
