Quality Function Deployment (QFD)

Mohan Khond
Mechanical Engineering Department
College of Engineering , Pune
Learning Objectives

 The basic aim of presentation is to describe


the methodology of QFD.
 Various Steps associated in QFD and the
development of interrelationship matrix.
 Application of QFD with suitable illustration
and case study .
Why QFD?

 Survival in world class competition


 Retaining and enhancing market share
 Shorter product development cycle
 Customer awareness
Quality Function Deployment

 Quality function deployment is literal translation of the


Japanese words HIN SHIT SU KINO TENKAI

 The concept of QFD was introduced in Japan by YOJI


AKAO in 1986

 The QFD methodology was developed at Mitsubishi’s Kobe


Shipyard
 Quality-Quality is what the customer says it is.(A. Feigenboum)
 Function-In this case it is aim, purpose, operation,or action
 Deployment - The meaning of deployment is to operationalised or to
bring out
 QFD defined as a series of translations from customer needs
to product characteristics and ultimately to manufacturing
procedures.

 Quality function Deployment is a team-based management


tool in which customer expectation are used to drive the
product development process
 It is disciplined approach to product design, engineering, and
production and to provide in depth evaluation of product.

 Customer needs are operationalised as production process


instruction that will produce outputs with desired characteristics.

 This method has been described as set of planning and


communication routines that facilitate cooperation between
marketing, design, and manufacturing during design process
.
Characteristics of QFD

 Qualitative technique.
 Use of Interdisciplinary team.
 Uncovering new problems and facts .
 Customer driven
Steps in QFD
 List Customer Requirements. (WHATs)
 List Technical Descriptors. (HOWs)
 Develop an relationship matrix between WHATs and
HOWs
 Develop an Interrelationship matrix between HOWs
 Competitive Assessment
 Develop Prioritized Customer Requirement
 Develop Prioritized Technical Descriptors
 Calculation of Absolute and Relative Weight.
Fig-1 House of Quality
Case study

 A company that manufactures bicycle


components such as cranks, hub, rims, etc,
wants to expands their product line by also
producing handlebar stems for mountain
bikes.
Adding relationship Matrix to the House of Quality
Interrelationship Between Technical Descriptors
Adding prioritized customer requirement
Calculation

 For column :Absolute weight = (Important to customer)


(scale-up factor) (sales point)
 Absolute weight is product of Column in the relationship
matrix and importance to customer e.g.
 For Aluminum(9x8+ 1x5+ 9x5+ 9x2+ 9x7+ 3x5+ 3x3)=227
 Relative weight is determined by taking the dot product of
column in relationship matrix and column for absolute
weight in prioritized customer requirement
 For die casting (3x16+ 9x8+ 9x5+ 3x2+ 0x18+ 3x5+
9x3)=213
Conclusion

 It is based on the calculation of absolute


weight for technical descriptor and relative
weight for technical descriptor
 Greater value of absolute weight indicate that
handle bar Aluminum die casting
 .The relative weight also indicate that handle
bar stem should be Aluminum die casting .
Benefits of QFD

 An orderly way of obtaining information and


presenting it.
 Shorter product development cycle.
 Considerably reduced start up cost
 Fewer engineering changes.
 Consensus decision
 Preserve every thing in writing .
 Develop an environment of team work.
