This book was released on 2015-10-16 with total page 259 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book focuses on the implementation of Quality Function Deployment (QFD) in the construction industry as a tool to help building designers arrive at optimal decisions for external envelope systems with sustainable and buildable design goals. In particular, the book integrates special features into the conventional QFD tool to enhance its performance. These features include a fuzzy multi-criteria decision-making method, fuzzy consensus scheme, and Knowledge Management System (KMS). This integration results in a more robust decision support tool, known as the Knowledge-based Decision Support System QFD (KBDSS-QFD) tool. As an example, the KBDSS-QFD tool is used for the assessment of building envelope materials and designs for high-rise residential buildings in Singapore in the early design stage. The book provides the reader with a conceptual framework for understanding the development of the KBDSS-QFD tool. The framework is presented in a generalized form in order to benefit building professionals, decision makers, analysts, academics and researchers, who can use the findings as guiding principles to achieve optimal solutions and boost efficiency.

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 Application of Quality Function Deployment in the Conceptual Design of a Construction Project written by Verda O. Hinkle and published by . This book was released on 1995 with total page 152 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Quality Function Deployment (QFD) is a product development process that assures the needs and desires of the customer are heard and heeded during the design, development and production of a product. Though it has been used successfully in other industries, only a few companies in the U.S. Engineering and Construction Industry have used QFD. The purpose of this project was to demonstrate that QFD can be used to assure that the voice of the owner is heard and heeded in the planning and conceptual design of a construction project. QFD methods were used in the conceptual design of a large capacity state-of-the-art, college classroom. Two classroom concepts and a list of related teaching-aid equipment were produced. These demonstrate that using QFD renders conceptual designs that respond to the voice of the customer.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book offers a comprehensive reference guide to customer-oriented product design and intelligence. It provides readers with the necessary intelligent tools for designing customer-oriented products in contexts characterized by incomplete information or insufficient data, where classical product design approaches cannot be applied. The respective chapters, written by prominent researchers, explain a wealth of both basic and advanced concepts including fuzzy QFD, fuzzy FMEA, the fuzzy Kano model, fuzzy axiomatic design, fuzzy heuristics-based design, conjoint analysis-based design, and many others. To foster reader comprehension, all chapters include relevant numerical examples or case studies. Taken together, they form an excellent reference guide for researchers, lecturers, and postgraduate students pursuing research on customer-oriented product design. Moreover, by extending all the main aspects of classical customer-oriented product design to its intelligent and fuzzy counterparts, the book presents a dynamic snapshot of the field that is expected to stimulate new directions, ideas, and developments.

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.

Download or read book The House of Quality in a Minute written by Christian N. Madu and published by IAP. This book was released on 2019-12-01 with total page 149 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Quality function deployment (QFD) is an effective tool to help organizations to become more competitive by designing their products and services to satisfy customers’ requirements. This book is precise and direct and focuses on the key issues in building the House of Quality otherwise known as Quality Function Deployment (QFD). By reading this book, the manager understands how to solicit customer requirement information, how design requirements are matched to customer requirements, how priorities of customer needs are established, and how activities are benchmarked. Furthermore, this new edition expands the topic to include process change initiatives on the premise that QFD cannot be achieved if the organization itself is not transformed to achieve customer satisfaction. The manager is guided on how to solve critical problems to achieve customer satisfaction. The book guides the reader to understand how companywide quality activities are related to QFD. This association is often lacking in other presentations that treat QFD as if it is independent of other quality efforts, such as process change initiative. The book will therefore include information on related quality initiatives such as: • Identification of customer needs • Benchmarking & re-engineering • Strategic planning • Quality assurance • Stakeholder teams • Cost control & productivity improvement • Six sigma • Process change initiative
