This document summarizes a research article about using Quality Function Deployment (QFD) to analyze the food supply chain for processed cassava products in Indonesia. The research identified consumer preferences through product attributes and expectations. Taste was found to be the most important attribute to consumers. The research also determined nine technical factors that affect product attributes and meet consumer demands. Finally, the research concluded basic supply chain activities like production practices and quality control strongly correlate to meeting technical specifications and consumer needs.

Suryaningrat Publication Year 2016 Journal Title Implementation of QFD in Food Supply Chain Management: A Case of Processed Cassava Product in Indonesia Publisher International Journal on Advanced Science Engineering Information Technology Reviewer Raka Wyztyo Alana Prathista Research purposes To identify consumer needs and expectations through product attributes and consumer’s expectations of processed cassava product. Methodology Quantitative with QFD Method, Questionare and HOQ Discussion result Consumer Expectation: The taste was the most important attribute to the consumers, compared to other attributes such as colour, aroma, and texture. It means that the consumers use taste (first rank) and colour (second rank) attributes as priority in the purchasing (buying) process of this product. In terms of satisfaction level, the best brand (BJ) of was the highest performance compared to other brands processed cassava products. This means that consumers have better preference to this brand compared to other brands. Technical Responses to Support Consumer Needs: Consumers prioritize delicious taste then delicious aroma and attractive packaging, taste ranks first in consumer demand followed by aroma and packaging, but packaging can also affect product impressions, bad packaging gives the impression of a bad taste, aroma, and texture Elaboration of Basic Supply Chain Activities: Looking at consumer expectations, it all depends on a good supply chain, because a good product starts with good raw materials, all of this can be handled by making contracts with suppliers to maintain the quantity and quality of the goods supplied. Conclusion The results of the study found that taste, texture, color, and aroma are attributes (expected by consumers) of processed cassava products on the market. Taste is the most important attribute for consumers compared to other attributes such as color, aroma and texture. As a result, nine technical reactions that affect product performance (attributes) and consumer demand responses are: the amount of sugar, the amount of the main ingredient (fermented cassava), the amount of milk, the amount of other ingredients, the mixing process, the cooking process, the sandy processing, the printing process, the packaging process. . For the basic supply chain activities described, production practices and quality control as processing activities correlated strongly with all technical partners, followed by capacity planning, production and inventory management, and raw material procurement.
