The Quality Function Deployment Process – House of Qualityby Doug Sutton * Turning the customer’s desires into engineering specifications!
QFD?–Where Are We Headed? • Turn Design Qualities into Design Specs. • Prioritize Design Features • Assess the Competition • Produce a House of Quality – (Which is Due Next Tuesday)
How The QFD Fits Into Your Final Proposal Proposal Sections: Letter of Intent ----------------->> Transmittal Title Page Executive Summary Table of Contents List of Figures Letter of Intent ------------------>> Introduction QFD/House of Quality ------>> Design Objectives Product, System, or Process Division of Responsibility Project Schedule Budget Resume -------------------------->> Qualifications Bibliography QFD/House of Quality ------>> Appendices Glossary
The Quality Function Deployment Process • Identify the Customer(s) • Determine Customer Requirements/Constraints • Prioritize each requirement • Competitive Benchmarking • Translate Customer Requirements into Measurable Engineering specifications • Set Target values for each Engineering Specification
QFD ExampleAn Automobile Bumper Customer Request: There is too much damage to bumpers in low-speed collisions. Customer wants a better bumper.
QFD ExampleAn Automobile Bumper Step 1:Identify Customer(s) • Repair Department • Automobile Owner • Manufacturing Plant • Sales Force
QFD ExampleAn Automobile Bumper Step 2: Determine Customer Requirements/Constraints • I want something that looks nice (basic) • It must hold my license plate (performance) • I want it strong enough not to dent (excitement) • It must protect my tail-lights and head-lights (performance) • I don’t want to pay too much (basic)
QFD ExampleAn Automobile Bumper Step 3: Prioritize Customer Requirements
QFD ExampleAn Automobile Bumper Put prioritized Customer Requirements into a House of Quality Chart
QFD ExampleAn Automobile Bumper Step 4: Competition Benchmarking • Identify Competitors • Test and Analyze Competitor Products • Reverse Engineer Competitor Products • Rate Competitor Products against customer requirements/constraints
QFD ExampleAn Automobile Bumper Put competitive benchmarking information into House of Quality Chart
QFD ExampleAn Automobile Bumper Steps 5 and 6: Translate Customer Requirements into Measurable Engineering Specifications and define target values • Specify how license plate will be held • Specify how to resist dents through material yield strength, young's modulus, etc. • Specify with a dollar amount the term ‘inexpensive’
