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.

Introduction to Quality Function Deployment
When should QFD be used?
1 Customers are complaining or aren’t satisfied
with your product or service.
2 Market share has been consistently declining.
3 Extended development time due to excessive
redesign, problem solving, or fire fighting.
4 Lack of a true customer focus in your product
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.
3.Large Complex or Global Teams
1.Lack of Efficient And/or Effective Processes
2.Teamwork Issues
4.Extended Product Development Times
1.Excessive Redesign
2.Changing Team
3.Problem Solving, or Fire Fighting.

Process
Introduction to Quality Function Deployment
Management Support of the Team
• Provide the time
• Demonstrate your commitment
• Push for progress, but not too hard
• Be realistic
• Review the charts - make sure you
understand
• Set priorities if needed
• Help the team through the rough
spots
• Keep asking the right questions
Timing
• Spans a major portion of the product
development process
• Identify key milestones
• Major projects will require 50-60 hours
of meetings
• Meetings are used to coordinate
activities and update charts
• Most of the work happens outside the
meetings
Introduction to Quality Function Deployment

What to look for Common Pitfalls

• Blank rows • QFD on everything

Unfulfilled customer wants
• Inadequate priorities
• Blank columns
Unnecessary requirements • Lack of teamwork
Incomplete customer wants Wrong participants
Turf issues
• Rows or columns with only weak relationships Lack of team skills
Banking a lot on “maybe’s” Lack of support

• Unmeasurable “HOWs” • Too much “chart focus”

Difficult to do what can’t be measured
• Handling trade-offs
• Too many relationships
More than 50% relationships make it hard to • Too much internal focus
prioritise
• “Stuck on tradition”
• Opportunities to excel
• “Hurry up and get done”
• Negative correlations
Try to eliminate • Failure to integrate QFD
Trade off if needed

• Conflicting competitive assessments

Introduction to Quality Function Deployment
Some “Right Questions”
• How was the voice of the customer
determined?
• How were the design requirements (etc)
determined? Challenge the usual in-house
standards.
• 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?
Points to Remember
• The process may look simple, but requires
effort.
• 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.
