“…Satisfying multiple characteristics through a serial deployment process like QFD is not easy (Pandey 1992). Working on the multiple lists of requirements as part of a single function deployment (say under a serial four-phased quality plan) is a complex undertaking (Dean 1992).…”

“…Although each QFD-based implementation provided new opportunities and stronger contributions towards product quality improvements, many such QFD-based programmes often dealt with a subset of the total problem that makes a company globally competitive (Sivaloganathan and Evbuomwan 1997). The implementations of QFD in industrial projects are sending con icting messages as to its success in terms of (a) dealing with large applications/systems (Dean 1992, Hauser 1993, Maduri 1993 within industries and (b) bene ts to industrial projects (Pandey 1992, Harr et al 1993. Furthermore, the cost and productivity gains that would seem obvious and feasible through the exploitation of QFD and its combination (in quanti able competitive sense) have not always been fully realized (Prasad 1997).…”

In this paper, an alternate framework to quality function deployment (QFD) called concurrent function deployment (CFD), suitable for a workgroup-based engineering design process, is described. The methodology exploits the independence of units that manifest itself in a company strategic business unit, total quality management, and enterprise knowledge management concepts. It considers parallel deployments of a number of 'values' in addition to 'quality', as opposed to a serial four-phased deployment of quality. Consider, for example, the popular American Supplier Institute's (ASI's) four-phased QFD concept (Sullivan 1988). ASI's QFD is based on using a single measurement, 'quality', and the four phases called 'quality plans' are deployed serially. CFD employs a concurrent deployment process of its 'value sets'-'quality' happens to be one of its important values. Six concurrent value-sets, namely functionality (quality), performance (X-ability), tools and technology (innovation), cost, responsiveness, and infrastructure (delivery) are considered in CFD, running in parallel rather than serially. In the present setting, Don Clausing's QFD process emerges as a special case of this CFD (Prasad 1998). CFD is more suited early on during a product design and development process-to deal with trade-offs among the crucial factors of artifact values. A set of three-dimensional value characteristics matrices is employed in CFD to ensure that such trade-off goals are adequatel y addressed.

“…Quality function deployment (QFD) translates the voice of the customer into appropriate technical requirements for each product development stage [2,9]. However, customers often express product requirements in their own terms; thus, requirements must be translated into product characteristics or subfunctions, where they are expressed in technical language.…”

For many companies, the design process and product design are treated as two separate domains. However, the design process needs to be controlled in such a way that desired product characteristics are attained. This paper proposes a decision support system (DSS) where management techniques develop linkages between process and product, and where the system identifies possible conflicts between product characteristics and design objectives. Product characteristics and the design process are decomposed into three levels and their relationship is identified. The DSS ensures that design activities accomplish product characteristics successfully. A goal-directed negotiation method that coordinates decisions is presented. An example of an aircraft pylon demonstrates the DSS method.

“…Clausing and Pugh (1991) and Kim et al (1998) provide more extensive and complete views. Dean (1993) views QFD as a system engineering process, which transforms the desires of the customer into the language required for implementing a product.

This paper presents a quality function deployment (QFD) analysis of the design of school furniture in developing countries, using Costa Rica as the baseline. The dynamic hierarchy process model for QFD was used to help the product development team make effective decisions in satisfying the requirements of the customer constrained by limited resources. A number of total quality management (TQM) tools were employed during the development of the school furniture solution. A dynamic, cross-functional team organization was used. A simple form of quality function deployment was used to identify the desirable product design, safety, and service features.
