Assignment
The assignment is of Quality Function Deployment House of Quality in
which we have to select products take one product as our and other of
competitor and construct House of Quality.

Quality Function Deployment


Quality function deployment (QFD) is a “method to transform user
demands into design quality, to deploy the functions forming quality, and to
deploy methods for achieving the design quality into subsystems and
component parts, and ultimately to specific elements of the manufacturing
process.” as described by Dr. Yoji Akao, who originally developed QFD in
Japan in 1966, when the author combined his work in quality assurance and
quality control points with function deployment used in Value Engineering.

House of Quality
House of Quality is a graphic tool for defining the relationship between
customer desires and the firm/product capabilities. It is a part of the Quality
Function Deployment (QFD) and it utilizes a planning matrix to relate what
the customer wants to how a firm (that produces the products) is going to
meet those wants. It looks like a House with correlation matrix as its roof,
customer wants versus product features as the main part, competitor
evaluation as the porch etc. It is based on "the belief that products should be
designed to reflect customers' desires and tastes" (Hauser & Clausing 1988).
It also is reported to increase cross functional integration within
organizations using it, especially between marketing, engineering and
manufacturing.

In House of Quality there are six sections which are as follows:

1. Customer Requirement:
In Customer Requirement we listen to our customer what
features, design they want in our product.
2. Competitive Assessment:
In Competitive Assessment we identify our competitors in
the market and how our product is competing against their
product. We assess our product quality and feature as to our
competitor’s product.
3. Design Characteristics:
In order to change the product design to better satisfy
customer requirement we need to translate those requirements
to measureable design characteristics.

4. Relationship Matrix:
The relationship matrix is where we determine the
relationship between customer needs and the company’s ability
to meet those needs.

5. Trade-off matrix:
In trade-off matrix we find the trade-off which is arising in
product feature. For example: in cell phone example we have
taken there is a tradeoff between QWERTY keyboard and weight
of phone.

6. Target values:
At target values stage we begins to establish target values
for each design characteristics of our product.
For constructing House of Quality we have selected three products
which are Cellular Phones Sony Ericsson X1 XPERIA, Apple iPhone 3G,
Samsung i900 Omnia.
