The questions in the slides will be discussed and answered during the lecture Objectives 1. To know some general principles used in QFD (doing the right things instead of doing the things right, quality in the upstream/design process) 2. To know some ways to understand the customer (e.g. no optimal solution for a group, no one-size-fits-all solution) 3. To understand customer needs and some considerations when delivering them 4. To know some basics of Quality Function Deployment (QFD) (system thinking, knowledge creation, VOC management) 5. To be able to perform a simple house of quality (HoQ) analysis 6. To know some research problems in QFD INPUT Supplier OUTPUT PROCESS Input Process Output Where is the QFD in product creation and/or development phase? PDCA DMAIC Customer Customer satisfaction Fitness for use Zero defect Conformance to specs Innovation? ABC for Quality in Design ”Quality” here implies creating a product or service that satisfies or exceeds the need of the customer; stated simply, that makes the customer feels great. How? Three steps (Jordan, 2002): A. Understand your customer B. Understand what your customer needs C. Deliver what they need Jordan, P.W. (2002), How to make brilliant stuff that people love…and make big money out of it, John Wiley &Sons, Ltd., West Sussex, England. A. Understand your customer • Who is your customer? • Which market segment? • Demographic • Socio-economic • Innovativeness • Emphatic approach (putting yourself in their shoes) through observation or creating representative persona for the target group Arrow's impossibility theorem Can we find optimal (e.g. fast-food) design for a group of customers? Taste (Spicy or Not spicy) Package (Transparent or Half-transparent) Picture size (Big or Small Customer A Spicy Transparent Small Customer B Spicy Half-transparent Big Customer C Not spicy Transparent Big Group preference Spicy Transparent Big (2 spicy vs 1 not) (2 transp.vs 1 half-transp.) (2 big vs 1 small) Which is your target market? gadget lovers revolutionary pragmatist conservative skeptics Lead-user Approach Tech-push or need-pull (VOC)? Target market Early majority, late majority, laggards…? Uncertainty type Structural, Parametric, Marginal? Innovation Level Radical, Incremental, Industrial?

Usability Usability Attractive Attractive Performance One-dimensional Percent defective Necessary 1990 Design for Six Sigma Performance One-dimensional Technical functions Six Sigma Necessary 2000 2010 B. Understand what your customer needs • Difference between needs and wants? • Understand pleasure in products (Jordan, 2002) • • • • Physio-pleasure Socio-pleasure Psycho-pleasure Ideo-pleasure • Understand products that ‘move the heart and touch the soul’ (Dahlgaard et al. 2008) “Eliciting user needs is not as straightforward as measuring what is measurable. Users often say one thing, do another and often feel something else...” (McDonagh et al., 2009) Physio-pleasure • Understand pleasures via human five sensory channels, namely, visual, acoustical, tactual, olfactorial, and gustatorial. If a certain product attribute can cause more or wider affective channels, the better it is. • Examples: New-car smell freshener, Opsvik’ chair, Alessi’s kettle, Apple’s touch-screen commands. Socio-pleasure • Understand pleasure via enjoyment from relationship with others (friends, colleagues, like-minded people, and society) • Examples: email versus sms, De Beers’ diamond, Novopen. • Relationship between product and social identity (e.g. product and couple’s relationship) Psycho-pleasure • It comes from mental and emotional reaction, related to cognitive demand. The products should be easy and fun to use. • Examples: mouse versus line commands, baby pram maneuverability, Heineken’ greeting “hiss”, cognitive dissonance (e.g. why are people far more likely to look at the ads for their new car after they have bought it than before they make a purchase?), Color effect (why is most ATM blue?) Ideo-pleasure • It is about tastes, values, and aspirations. It is also related to philosophical and religious values. It affirms the owner self-image. • Examples: being cool (“cool-hunter”), elegant and artistic furniture, being environmental friendly Please consider the environment before printing this slide C. Deliver what they need and/or want Properties of products/ services 1. Functionality (What product does and how well it does) 2. Color (e.g. Black=classy, White=pure/death, Red=powerful, exicting) 3. Form (e.g. heavy=higher quality, big=macho) 4. Product graphics (e.g. BMW precision logo) 5. Materials (e.g. platinum=high socio-economic) 6. Sound (e.g. car door closing sound, Windows’ default sound) 7. Interaction design (e.g. usability) 8. Packaging (e.g. use eye-catching color) 9. Product’s story (e.g. De Beers’ diamond) 10. Marketing and distribution channels (e.g. Olympic sponsorship) 11. Price point 12. … QFD as an alternative for making your customer feels great 1. Understand your customer How? Arrow’s principle, Diffusion curve 2. Understand what your customer needs How? VOC management method, pleasure’s theory (Jordan, 2002) 3. Deliver what they want How? Through mapping the product/service properties to the customer needs using House of Quality What is QFD? According to Akao (1990), as one of the main founders, QFD can be defined as: “a method for developing a design quality aimed at satisfying the customer and then translating the customer’s demand into design targets and major quality assurance points to be used throughout the production phases” QFD as a system approach CEO Customer needs Satisfied customers Design Development Production Sales Will the customer voice be heard unequivocally among the silos? QFD and Knowledge Creation QFD helps create improved tacit knowledge by systematically translate them into explicit knowledge (existing)Tacit Explicit improved(Tacit) QFD Strengths: • better communication of cross-functional teamwork • lower project and product cost • better product design • increased customer satisfaction QFD Weaknesses: • more effective for developing incremental products as opposed to really new products • QFD does not shorten time-to-market • rather burdensome due to the incredibly big matrices Still, QFD provides a more systematic & effective approach to create higher customer satisfaction by bringing a product or service that the customer wants/needs… A QFD Team Sponsor Production Project leader Market Team members Purchasing Facilitator Development Secretary The Voice of Customer (VOC) Management Principles: • What do “they really need” VS “you think they need”? • Why they are doing is more important than what they are doing. • What they want to do is more important than how it is done. Practices: (Griffin and Hauser, 1993; Fisher and Schutta, 2003) 1. Collection and Identification Tools: be a customer, live with customer and observe, one-on-one interview, videotape, survey, focus groups, complaints analysis, critical incident technique, lead user method. 2. Structuring/ Clustering Tools: Hierarchy, Affinity Diagram, VOC Table, Tree Diagram, etc 3. Prioritization Tools: Frequency of mention, Kano Model, Analytic Hierarchy Process, etc. What is a customer need? A customer need is a description, in the words of the customer, of a benefit and/or job that he, she or they would like to have fulfilled by the product. Challenges in uncovering customer needs • Too many companies take a narrow view of customer input. They ask customers surface level questions about what they want and don’t want without really understanding what problems customers face and why. • Too general questions produce less meaningful information on customer needs. • Some customer are completely inarticulate, poor reporters of their own needs or even behavior. • Provider’s tendency to project their own rationalizations and beliefs onto customer Challenges in uncovering customer needs NEVER ask: What do you want? If you ask ”what do you want?” you will get… • ”I want a longer battery life” • ”I want bigger records that would hold more songs” • ”I’d like a picture or video phone” • ”a 10-minute snooze alarm” … You will get: • Solution instead of ”what they want to achieve” (outcomes) • ”must-have” attributes (If you do something right, no one remembers, if you do something wrong, no one…) • Missing features that other manufacturers already offer • ”me-too” (only what they have experienced) Which questions to ask? DOs What makes this job — or parts of it — challenging, inconvenient or frustrating? What makes this job timeconsuming? What causes this job to go off track? What aspects of this job are wasteful? Ulwick and Bettencourt (2008) DON’Ts How would you improve this product? What features would you like to see added to it? The VOC: Structuring Affinity Diagram (a practical grouping technique) An example of a university external customer: the employer of graduates What do the employers expect from the university graduates? Above average GPA, good personality, good team work skill, honesty, able to communicate well, computer/ programming skill, initiative, … Which one is better? why? Above average GPA Computer/programming skill Initiative Good team work skill Honesty Able to communicate well Good personality *)Source: Raharjo et al. (2007) Primary Interpersonal Leadership Academic Skill Skill Qualification Non-academic Academic Qualification Qualification Primary Secondary Secondary Above average GPA Important issues: Computer/programming skill • How to group? Initiative • How many groups? Good team work skill Responsible Able to communicate well Good personality • What is the impact of the grouping? The VOC: Prioritization Kano’s Model Important issues: • How to reveal unspoken/ latent needs? • How things change over time? • How to prioritize?

Dynamic QFD End Start QFD CUSTOMER CUSTOMER Time Lag Collect VOC Design Process Production Other phases ... ... The problem: • The market change during product creation process ... ... ... Product Purchase • The “past” VOC, which is collected before product creation process starts, is no longer relevant The questions: • • • • What are the ‘market’ changes? How to characterize or model the changes? How to take into account the changes when using the QFD? How to obtain the Future VOC, so that when the product is ready it can satisfy or even exceed the customer expectation?
