Abstract-Managing product quality is crucial for small and medium enterprises. Customer satisfaction and loyalty will be maintained by quality products. In order to improve the quality of product, this research is conducted to develop a confectionery slicer for a small and medium enterprise using quality function deployment. The first stage in this research is doing a customer survey to determine the customer needs and their priorities in processing the product. The customers for this research are SME's SB workers. Then a data verification using statistics is done and subsequently used to develop confectionery slicer. The prioritized technical specifications of the product based on design deployment matrix formulation are size of the blade, blade number, level of mechanization, the distance between blades, the quality test and blade materials. The research proves that the developed concept of confectionery slicer is able to improve the quality and productivity of SME's products.Index Terms-Product design, QFD, product quality improvement, small and medium enterprises.

“…Testing may also be required to satisfy the gate review criteria, although this is not explicitly depicted. The general form and principles of the stage-gate model have been adopted and adapted by many companies (Unger and Eppinger 2011). The model is focused on project control and is not intended to provide detailed insight into how testing should be performed.…”

“…This model positions integration and testing at the end of each iteration around the spiral. The intention of this spiral model is to manage integration and minimise risks, especially relating to the market, by the repeated creation and test of progressively more mature prototypes (Unger and Eppinger 2011). With each loop, the work in progress is evaluated and suggestions are made for its improvement (Boehm 1988).…”

Testing in the incremental design and development of complex products

et al. 2018

Testing is an important aspect of design and development which consumes significant time and resource in many companies. However, it has received less research attention than many other activities in product development, and especially, very few publications report empirical studies of engineering testing. Such studies are needed to establish the importance of testing and inform the development of pragmatic support methods. This paper combines insights from literature study with findings from three empirical studies of testing. The case studies concern incrementally developed complex products in the automotive domain. A description of testing practice as observed in these studies is provided, confirming that testing activities are used for multiple purposes depending on the context, and are intertwined with design from start to finish of the development process, not done after it as many models depict. Descriptive process models are developed to indicate some of the key insights, and opportunities for further research are suggested.

Abstract. CADOProSys was developed by a group of teachers from Engineering and Industrial Management Department of Transilvania University of Brasov-Romania. Present paper is focused on module design for process selection that allows undergraduates to choose the appropriate technology based on product's specification, to obtain route sheets. Based on these route sheets the users will be able to determine the equipment requirements, materials requirements (type and quantity), standard times (computed based on theory or estimated based on firm's standards), and layout requirements. The Process selection module is interconnected with logistic module (sub-modules oriented on suppliers selection and facility layout design).
