Book Description
This book introduces into the practical application of Quality Function Deployment (QFD) beyond the famous House of Quality Matrix by presenting a fully developed example of a clear and comprehensive QFD framework. The QFD workflow is described step by step, encompassing strategic planning, customer surveys, product and service characteristics, mechanisms, parts and cost deployment, technologies, process phases and faults analysis. The model, as presented with practical suggestions, can be used in firms with low resources and/or need for speed. In addition, a chapter is dedicated to the most common “fuzzy” algorithms, explained for professionals and the book closes by describing in detail some QFD case studies. This book will be of interest to all who wish to use QFD to respond to and satisfy customer requirements effectively.

Ergodesign Methodology for Product Design
Author: Marcelo M. Soares
Publisher: CRC Press
ISBN: 100045407X
Category : Technology & Engineering
Languages : en
Pages : 257
Book Description
This book presents a co-design detailed methodology that will enable the reader to develop human-centered product designs, considering the user’s needs, skills, and limitations. The purpose of this book is to produce an ergonomic design methodology in which the "user’s voice" can be translated into product requirements in a way that designers and manufacturers can use, characterizing it as a co-design methodology. It discusses important topics including ergonomics and product design, design specifications, project evaluation, modeling and prototyping, product safety, human error, kansei/affective engineering, usability and user experience, models of usability, methods for research and evaluation of usability, methods for evaluation of user-experience, preliminary strategic design planning, detailing design, and design, ergonomic and pandemics. The book offers a human-centered design methodology that allows the reader to carry out analysis and design projects for both products aimed at the disabled user population and those that serve the general population. It will be a valuable reference text for undergraduate and graduate students and professionals in the fields of ergonomics, design, architecture, engineering, and related fields. It can also be used by students and professionals of physiotherapy and occupational therapy interested in designing products for people with special needs.

Integration of Preference Analysis Methods into QFD for Elderly People
Author: Samah Abu-Assab
Publisher: Springer Science & Business Media
ISBN: 3834970751
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 242
Book Description
Especially in industrial countries the portion of elderly people is growing in many societies. Their needs are more intensified than the demands of younger people in many aspects. Companies need the right tools (e.g. market research methods for elderly people) to detect these needs, preferences, and demands of elderly people. Samah Abu-Assab verifies two existing research methods and suggests a new one for determining the preferences of elderly people. The new method seems to be promising and adequate for the elderly target group.

Quality Function Deployment: The evolved 4-phase model
Author: Frede Jensen
Publisher: Lulu.com
ISBN: 1326905910
Category : Technology & Engineering
Languages : en
Pages : 82
Book Description
Quality Function Deployment (QFD) provides a sound understanding of what should naturally occur in design. Its principles are essential knowledge for design and system developers. We can apply QFD to any project that, for one, is a development activity and, two, has a definable customer. This includes products, parts, materials, services, events, software and websites. The book describes the 4-phase QFD approach. The approach conforms to the ISO 16355-1:2015 guidance standard. The House of Quality is explained, as a planning tool for transferring the priorities in customer and stakeholder requirements into the final product. The book further introduces some associated development tools and techniques associated with QFD. The Appendix provides a walk-through example of the evolved 4-phase QFD approach, demonstrating the workings of the House of Quality and associated tools. The Appendix further illustrates a 4-phase QFD example using a simplified substitute for the House of Quality.
