Download or read book Quality Function Deployment The evolved 4 phase model written by Frede Jensen and published by Lulu.com. This book was released on 2017-03-12 with total page 82 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Quality Function Deployment (QFD) provides a sound understanding of what should naturally occur in design. Its principles are essential knowledge for design and system developers. We can apply QFD to any project that, for one, is a development activity and, two, has a definable customer. This includes products, parts, materials, services, events, software and websites. The book describes the 4-phase QFD approach. The approach conforms to the ISO 16355-1:2015 guidance standard. The House of Quality is explained, as a planning tool for transferring the priorities in customer and stakeholder requirements into the final product. The book further introduces some associated development tools and techniques associated with QFD. The Appendix provides a walk-through example of the evolved 4-phase QFD approach, demonstrating the workings of the House of Quality and associated tools. The Appendix further illustrates a 4-phase QFD example using a simplified substitute for the House of Quality.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book not only presents the overall development of quality function deployment (QFD) and what it has been used for to date but a new product support orientation by which it can be employed. It is product and service "system" focused and presents how blending the processes and elements of supportability and analysis into a QFD-modeled methodology can achieve optimal cost savings and performance efficiency and effectiveness. In addition, a working model is provided that will assist those that elect to use such an approach to current/new product and/or service development. QFD is widely spreading throughout the world because of its outstanding usefulness. It is aimed to fulfill the customer's expectation of a product or service design. Organizations of all sizes are using it to (1) save product and service design and development time, (2) focus on how the product or service might satisfy the customer and (3) improve communication at all levels of an organization during the development process. Based on these three reasons, today's traditional QFD can be divided into three branches and analyzed. First, QFD can be implemented effectively for developing new products and designs by establishing the linkage between design stages through the manufacturing environment. However, research has found that traditional QFD is quite weak in implementing modifications to existing product and service design during its predicted lifecycle. Second, most research to this point has been squarely focused on the "voice of the customer" for prioritizing customer needs. While certainly needed, the "voice of the system" that is being used to produce the product/service and how they operate during its intended life cycle has been given less attention. Third, QFD is often viewed as overly labor-intensive and thus costly, and, because of its team-based development logic, manual in nature by those involved during its development and implementation. Research has shown that life cycle sustainment planning and support for current or proposed products and/or services requires a seamless and balanced life cycle support methodology. To achieve this type of support, twelve functional elements have been identified that form the product support infrastructure. A new approach, one that views product support as an integrative activity where all twelve product support elements are assessed over the entire product and/or service life cycle is being deployed. With this deployment comes a need to ensure Key Performance Parameters (KPPs) are achieved and functional alignment obtained by balancing supportability element cost and provisioning throughout the entire product and/or service lifecycle, not just during the development stage, and to view the system as the "customer" and thus listen to the "Voice of the System" when assessing supportability requirements. Quality Function Deployment (QFD) is such a tool. This book contains four sections. Section 1 provides an initial overview of QFD origins, and history and highlights some of its use today. It addresses how QFD fits within the organization, increasing revenue, and reducing cost. It outlines a step-by-step strategy for successfully deploying QFD within the organization. Section 2 examines the evolving product and/or service requirement, creating the design solution using QFD, assessing supportability characteristics using QFD, and performing functional supportability analysis using QFD. Section 3 provides a guide for developing the life cycle supportability solution using QFD methodology on an ongoing basis, and managing processes throughout the systems lifecycle. Section 4 addresses using QFD in an imperfect world and will provide insight into how to use QFD beyond the standard "house of quality" concept.

Download or read book Quality Function Deployment A Method for Improving Contract Specifications in the US Corps of Engineers written by and published by . This book was released on 1997 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this thesis is to evaluate the use of Quality Function Deployment (QFD) as a management tool to benefit US Army Corps of Engineers' project managers. The United States Army Corps of Engineers is one of the largest construction management organizations in the world, annually performing over 3.5 billion dollars worth of work. The project manager has primary responsibility within the Corps to ensure the design both fulfills user's requirements and is prepared correctly, and that quality control/assurance procedures are correctly administered. QFD was developed by the Japanese in 1972 to improve quality and lower costs in industrial and business related fields, by assuring all of a company's operational decisions are driven by customer needs. It uses a set of matrices to relate customers wants and needs with project specifications and requirements. Through this process, shortcomings, redundancies, or conflicts in specifications are identified and resolved. Critical material requirements and construction processes are identified, allowing the user to focus the project delivery system on fulfilling customer requirements. The scope of this research is limited to development of a procedure for integrating QFD into the Corps of Engineers' design/construction delivery process. The procedure was applied to a Corps' construction project to evaluate its feasibility for contributing to the delivery process. QFD assists project managers to clearly identify and prioritize customer requirements in development of the conceptual and final design. It is best suited to projects involving repetition of units or when higher-than-average quality is demanded. Managers are able to make better informed decisions made during the delivery process, resulting in a better customer satisfaction.
