Quality Function Deployment


Developed by Mitsubishi Kobe Shipyard 1972. Adopted By Ford
and GM in 1980s, and later Xerox, Hewlett-Packard, AT&T.
Is a structured method to transmit and translate customer
requirements, that is,
through
each stage of the product development process.
A systematic way of documenting and breaking down customer
needs into manageable and actionable detail.
Quality Function Deployment is a Valuable
but it is not a
Foundation - Belief That Products Should Be Designed To
Reflect Customer Desires and Tastes

Spirits of QFD
The voice of the customer MUST be carried THROUGHOUT the
production process.
Three other HOQs are used to do this and, together with the
first, these carry the customers voice from its initial
expression, through design attributes, on to component
attributes, to process operations, and eventually to a quality
control and improvement plans.
In Japan, all four are used. the tendency in the West is to use
only the first one or two.
