“…Although today it is not possible to find this continuous circle of execution, satisfaction and validation in every sector, this is the direction that can be hypothesized (Cantamessa et al, 2020). Moreover, today's conditions require to spread customers' demands on all areas, aided by proper infrastructure and tooling to deliver the information, including physical and/or virtual models in which all parts of the organization can relate to (Figure 19) including process simulations ought to achieve a flexible manufacturing performance (Zghair et al, 2018) and virtual reality (VR) applications that could manage project-related outlines in all areas across most development stages from environment evaluation (Vitali et al, 2021), through preliminary customer-driven product assessment (Vanacore et al, 2021), until virtual manufacturing (Peruzzini et al, 2021).…”

PurposeThe aim of this research is to enlighten the methodology model of Industrial Design Structure (IDeS) that integrates the internal and external customer feedback embodied both in methods of quality function deployment (QFD) and as basis of design for six sigma (DFSS) steps to systematically bring the information across the entire organization, saving overall product development time and resources.Design/methodology/approachThe paper describes the state of the art enlightened to establish the disadvantages and challenges of other methods taken into consideration in the study like QFD and DFSS that, together with the need of companies to react fast to changes they need to straightforwardly implement product development information across all departments, leading to a mass customization infrastructure. Several application trials of this methodology have been cited.FindingsThe IDeS method has established to been able to integrate other well-known methodologies to gather technical specifications starting from voice of customers (VOCs) like QFD that served to canalize the generalist approach of define, measure, analyze, design and verify (DMADV) of DFSS in order to reach into a larger share of the organization and englobe by following the overall product design steps of an industrial project.Research limitations/implicationsThe research approach chosen for this document presents the concept of a methodology ought to operate most internal branches in a company driven by product design requirements and guidelines. Therefore, researchers are encouraged to develop further studies on the IDeS method are required in order to adapt this methodology to specific management tools that would help to ease information gathering for immediate analysis and modification.Practical implicationsThe paper implicates that a need to interchange information systematically across all subdivisions in the organization, as brisk response to VOC reactions is needed to thrive in the market nowadays, leading to a fast product customization scene. However, the industry is heading into adopting an individual customer-centered product conceptualization ought to be driven by design as a key for individualizing an object. Afterward by taking this concept broadly and adopting it would lead to implement a company organization that would be directly affected by the customer's input.Social implicationsThe methodology described aims to enable organizations to portray fast and accurate product prototyping, by exploiting technologies from Industry 4.0.Originality/valueThis concept proposes a method to canalize the implementation of DFSS by using the DMADV approach, whilst assessing the challenges of adaptation and keeping up with cultural pace that impacts the behavior of buying and consumption and moreover implementing a seamless communication within all departments in the organization to share the development progress and change requests by using similar information technology tools. This would imply important savings in resources, whilst delivering quality products to the society.
