“…An enhanced GQFD II process was developed, integrating LCA, life cycle costing and QFD to explore cost requirements throughout the entire product development process (Zhang 1999). Eco-QFD has been put forward as an aid to product design teams when considering environmental concerns (Emzer, Sakao, and Mattheiß 2004;Kuo, Wu, and Shieh 2009;Utne 2009). …”

“…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). These studies did not consider, in any depth, the implications of eco-design to the other phases of QFD that control part deployment, process planning and production planning.…”

This paper presents an integrated eco-design decision-making (IEDM) methodology that is formed using three stages: life cycle assessment, an eco-design process (Eco-Process) model and an enhanced eco-design quality function deployment process. All product sustainability considerations are conducted within a special eco-design house of quality. This brings together the analysis of factors relating to manufacturing processes, product usage and end-of-life strategy. The concentration of environmental considerations in one place insures that product sustainability is central to any design development and that the implications of change are fully identified and justified. The IEDM methodology utilises of a set of Eco-Process parameters and their associated relationships to allow users with complementary knowledge to enter and access information in a timely and controlled manner. They are then able to contribute their expertise to support decisions with the aim of providing more sustainable products. An application of the approach is presented in the context of a case study considering the redesign of a single-use medical forceps. The materials and production methods used are investigated with a view to quantifying their environmental impact. The resulting IEDM methodology can be seen to be widely and easily applicable.

“…The present millennium has experienced publications of several dozens of papers on Quality Function Deployment (QFD) [5][6][7][8][9] against less than a dozen in the late 1960s when the QFD drive newly started. Thus, the field of QFD is portrayed as one that has grown both in depth and coverage, presenting a wide spectrum of problems.…”

Abstract.A comprehensive review of the Quality Function Deployment (QFD) literature is made using extensive survey as a methodology. The most important results of the study are: (i) QFD modelling and applications are one-sided; prioritisation of technical attributes only maximise customer satisfaction without considering cost incurred (ii) we are still missing considerable knowledge about neural networks for predicting improvement measures in customer satisfaction (iii) further exploration of the subsequent phases (process planning and production planning) of QFD is needed (iv) more decision support systems are needed to automate QFD (v) feedbacks from customers are not accounted for in current studies.Keywords: QFD, literature review, house of quality, voice of the customer, customer satisfaction, improvement.

“…Published examples include selecting design options (Cook and Wu, 2001), determining improvement priorities (Barad and Gien, 2001), and deciding facility locations (Chuang, 2001). Moreover, some studies have proposed Eco-QFD approaches for environmentally conscious manufacturing by integrating life cycle assessment (LCA) and life cycle costing (LCC) into QFD (Zhang et al, 1999); for environmental improvement analysis of selected techniques (Halog et al, 2001); to develop a sustainable fishing fleet by combining environmental issues with stakeholder requirements (Utne, 2009); for ensuring sustainable product design (Vinodh and Rathod, 2010); and to analyze environmental production requirements using QFD and analytic network process (ANP) (Lin et al, 2010). However, no papers have been seen which propose the application of QFD for evaluating environmental performance.…”
