The
QFD process consists of the Voice of the Customers
or Customer Attributes, which are driven by the
customer/user goals, the Voice of the Engineer
or the Design Parameters, which are the technical
measures needed to build the user requirements,
the Relationship Matrix, which describes the relationship
between the customer requirements and the design
parameters, and the Roof of the House of Quality
(HOQ), which is the correlation between the design
parameters.
This
is basically to convert the user requirements
into some specifications at various levels. This
mechanism is very widely used in engineering industry
especially in automotive designs. But this can
be adopted in industrial design, User Experience
etc. QFD this gives a framework to specify the
product’s attributes & levels of QFD
matrix gives us a complete roadmap of product
development. |
