  1. Design Specifications and QFD

  2. Establishing the Need • Sources: • The market: what do customers want? • New technology: • Creates a market • Risky and expensive • Can be financially rewarding • Higher level system • Support for industries such as planes, automobiles

  3. Collecting Information • Customer: Inside or outside of company • External • Obsolescence of product • Discover of new technology • New market requirements • Competitor superiority • Internal • Excess capacity • Drop in profitability • New technology • New production methods

  4. Collecting Information • Company: what are its objectives? • Wants to grow and increase market share • Wants flexibility in unstable market • Wants high profits • Life cycle of product • Enterprise potential and limitations

  5. Collecting Information • Laws and Regulations: • Environmental control • Safety regulations • Factory regulations • Standards, company and government • Market • Demands • Potential for product • Competition

  6. Questions • What is the need or problem really about? • What implicit wishes and expectations are involved? • What paths are open for development?

  7. Quality Function Deployment • Developed in the mid-70’s • Method for developing specifications from voice of customer • Gives interdisciplinary teams a map for working together • Toyota needed to improve rust record • Body durability broken into 53 items • Ran experiments on details of production, temperature control, coating composition

  8. Before and After QFD Jan. 1977 Pre-QFD Pre-Production and Start-up Costs at Toyota Body Shop Apr. 1984 Post-QFD (39% of Pre-QFD Costs) Source: “The House of Quality,” J. Hauser and D. Clausing, Harvard Business Review, May-June 1988, pp. 63-73.

  9. QFD vs. no QFD No QFD Design Changes 90% of changes complete With QFD 20-24 months 14-17 months 1-3 months Job #1 +3 months

  10. Why Use QFD? A recent survey of 150 US companies: • 69% use QFD • 71% began using it since 1990 • 83% felt that it improve customer satisfaction • 76% felt it facilitated rational decision making

  11. QFD • Why use QFD? • Helps uncover new information • Can be applied to entire design problem or portions of it • Focuses team on what need to be designed, not how to design it • Helps overcome favoritism

  12. Steps of QFD • Identify the customer • Determine customer requirements • State whether desires are demands or wishes, rank the wishes • Competition benchmarking • Translate customer desires into measureable engineering requirements • Set targets for design: dates

  13. QFD: Step by Step 1. Who are the customers? 2. Determine customer requirements • Collection of information • Specify information needed • Determine type of data collection • Determine content of questions • Design questions • Order questions • Take data • Reduce data

  14. QFD: Step by Step 2. Determine customer requirements Delighted Performance Excitement Fully Implemented Customer Satisfaction Absent Basic Disgusted Product Function

  15. QFD: Step by Step 3. Determine relative importance of requirements 4. Identify and evaluate competition: How satisfied is the customer now? 5. Generate product specifications: how will customers’ requirements be met?

  16. QFD: Step by Step • 6. Translate into measureable engineering req’ts • If there is not measureable requirement, then it is not well understood • Two solutions • Break into finer parts • Repeat step three

  17. QFD: Step by Step 7. Identify relationships between customer and engineering requirements. 8. Set targets for design: how much is good enough?

  18. House of Quality Hows vs. Hows Hows Now Who Who vs. Whats Whats Whats vs. Hows Now vs. What How Muches Hows vs. How Muches
