EI2QFD - an integrated QFD approach or from the results of Eco-indicator 99 to quality function deployment

Improving the environmental performance of the fishing fleet by use of Quality Function Deployment (QFD)

“…Often, only the HoQ is used, even though several interlinked matrices may be used to plan multiple levels of design details, parts deployment, process planning, and production planning [10]. To link matrices, the ''hows'' in the HoQ become the ''whats'' in the next matrix, and their relative importance to the development team is based on the results in the HoQ.…”

“…Defining requirements to fishing vessels in order to increase sustainability in the fishing fleet means that not only technical and economic needs should be assessed, but environmental and social issues as well. Besides the classical QFD approaches, there exist extended environmental approaches which combine environmental issues with stakeholder requirements, such as the Green Quality Function Deployment (GQFD I-III) [7,8], the Quality Function Deployment for Environment (QFDE) [9], and EI2QFD [10].…”

“…Then, an Eco-indicator 99 analysis must be carried out to assess the environmental impacts of the system. The derived requirements are entered into a matrix to identify supportive and/or contradictory requirements [10]. In addition, LCA and LCC have been applied in combination with several analyses, see e.g.…”

“…Besides classical QFD, there exist extended approaches which combine environmental issues and costs with stakeholder requirements, called Eco-QFD [7][8][9][10]. The objective of this article is to discuss feasibility of Eco-QFD for fisheries management and shipyards in the process from need identification to specification of requirements, in order to improve sustainability in the Norwegian fishing fleet.…”

Integrated eco-design decision-making for sustainable product development

“…An additional house of environment has been deployed (Emzer, Mattheib, and Birkhofer 2003). Other applications of eco-related QFD focus on the initial product planning phase (Cristofari, Deshmukh, and Wang 1996;Zhang 1999;Mehta and Wang 2001;Dong, Chuck, and Wang 2003;Emzer, Sakao, and Mattheiß 2004;Kuo, Wu, and Shieh 2009;Utne 2009).…”
