Quality Function Deployment - “Customer Driven
Product / Process Development”
Introduction to Quality Function Deployment
Definition of Quality Function Deployment :
There is no single, right definition for QFD; this one captures its
essential meaning:
A system for translating customer requirements into appropriate
company requirements at each stage from research and product
development to engineering and manufacturing to marketing/sales
and distribution
Prerequisites to QFD are ‘Market Research’ and ‘VOC gathering’.
As QFD is the process of building capability to meet or exceed customer demands, understanding the
market, knowing the various customer segments. what each customer segment wants, how important
these benefits are, and how well different providers of products address these benefits are some of the
key precursors to a successful QFD. These are prerequisites because it is impossible to consistently
provide products / services which will attract customers unless you have a very good understanding of
what they want.
Introduction to Quality Function Deployment
Why was QFD developed?
QFD was developed in Japan in the late 1960s by Professors Yoji Akao and Shigeru Mizuno.
The Professors aimed at developing a quality assurance method that would design customer satisfaction into a
product before it was manufactured. Prior quality control methods like Ishikawa were primarily aimed at fixing a
problem during or after manufacturing.
Key Rationale:
1
Customers are our number one concern. Satisfied customers keep us in business.
Therefore, we must have an excellent understanding of their needs.
2
Proactive product development is better than reactive product development. QFD can help
a company move toward a more proactive approach.
3
Quality is a responsibility of everyone in the organization. QFD is a team methodology
which encourages a broader employee involvement and focus.
4
The QFD methodology helps an organization determine the most effective applications for
many engineering and analytical tools such as: Design of Experiments, Failure Analysis and
Statistical Process Control.

development process.
5 Poor communications between departments or
functions.
(Over-the -wall product development).
6 Lack of efficient and/or effective teamwork.
1.Complex Product Development Initiatives
1.Communications Flow Down Difficult
2.Expectations Get Lost
2.New Product Initiatives / Inventions
1.Lack of Structure or Logic to the Allocation of
Development Resources.

Managing the QFD Process
Introduction to Quality Function Deployment
Management Support of the Team
•
Provide the time
•
Demonstrate your commitment
•
Timing
•
Spans a major portion of the product
development process
Push for progress, but not too hard
•
Identify key milestones
•
Be realistic
•
•
Review the charts - make sure you
understand
Major projects will require 50-60 hours
of meetings
•
•
Set priorities if needed
Meetings are used to coordinate
activities and update charts
•
Help the team through the rough
spots
•
Most of the work happens outside the
meetings
•
Keep asking the right questions
Introduction to Quality Function Deployment
Common Pitfalls
What to look for
•
Blank rows
Unfulfilled customer wants
•
Blank columns
Unnecessary requirements
Incomplete customer wants
•
Rows or columns with only weak relationships
Banking a lot on “maybe’s”
•
Unmeasurable “HOWs”
Difficult to do what can’t be measured
•
•
Too many relationships
More than 50% relationships make it hard to
prioritise
Opportunities to excel
•
Negative correlations
Try to eliminate
Trade off if needed
•
Conflicting competitive assessments
•
QFD on everything
•
Inadequate priorities
•
Lack of teamwork
Wrong participants
Turf issues
Lack of team skills
Lack of support
•
Too much “chart focus”
•
Handling trade-offs
•
Too much internal focus
•
“Stuck on tradition”
•
“Hurry up and get done”
•
Failure to integrate QFD
Introduction to Quality Function Deployment
Some “Right Questions”
Points to Remember
•
How was the voice of the customer
determined?
•
The process may look simple, but requires
effort.
•
How were the design requirements (etc)
determined? Challenge the usual in-house
standards.
•
Many of the entries look obvious - after
they are written down.
•
If there aren’t some “tough spots” the first
time, it probably isn’t being done right!
•
Focus on the end-user customer.
•
Charts are not the objective.
•
Charts are the means of achieving the
objective.
•
Find reasons to succeed, not excuses for
failure.
•
How do we compare to our competition?
•
What opportunities can we identify to gain
a competitive edge?
•
•
What further information do we need?
How can we get it?
How can we proceed with what we have?
•
What trade-off decisions are needed?
•
What can I do to help?
