Quality Function Deployment (QFD) is widely used application utilized in many fields such as product design, manufacturing process design, and project development. It can convert customer requirements into a firm's engineering characteristics which results to achievements showing great success and House of Quality (HOQ) is the manipulation tool for QFD. However, the consideration of correlation among engineering characteristics is often ignored in most of QFD application related researches. This usually affects the implementation sequence of the project tasks and results to delay or queuing in product design/project development. This paper presents a methodology based on Theory of Inventive Problems Solving (TRIZ), Design Structure Matrix (DSM) and the absolute importance of engineering characteristics in HOQ which deals with the weakness mentioned. An example is illustrated to evidence the proposed methodology.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
