Abstract:
In today’s competitive markets “quality” is a business imperative rather than a luxury. Increasingly in many markets “quality” is the price of entry and in others a major source of competitive advantage. The ability to design a “services package” that consistently meets the customers’ requirements is an important element of a successful quality improvement strategy. The inherent nature of “service package” complicates the design problems. Quality function deployment (QFD) is a systematic technique for designing products or services that are based on customers’ requirements. QFD, although traditionally associated with the design of physical products, is equally applicable to service design. Examines how Alitalia’s experience suggests that the use of QFD techniques allows the development of a service package which effectively meets the key customers’ requirements. Presents recommendations and a framework for the specific use of QFD by service organizations, which if utilized should secure competitive advantage.

Abstract:
The QFD has been used for product development for a long time. Nowadays, at the current level of maintenance, we used the QFD to innovate in the prioritization of assemblies and subassemblies that must have their planned maintenance. To achieve the proposed objectives, we firstly reviewed the literature, then analyzed the maintenance data of a production line, calculated the correlation between the needs of the sector of production with each subset of equipment that make up the line, and then constructed the QFD to prioritize the maintenance planning of the most important sets for product quality. The findings showed that the current planning model has a high level of assertiveness on the equipment schedule, but a prioritization using QFD assist in the specification of which subset undergoing maintenance, increasing the availability and reliability of equipment. The results showed there was an increase of efficiency from 79.25% to 83.76% in one year.

Abstract:
Abstract Purpose: The objective of successful companies is the integration of customer requirements in the development process of a new product. Therefore, the Quality Function Deployment method has proven useful several times. The customer requirements often contain contradictions, which are mostly solved by compromises. The aim should be to integrate all customers’ demands and wishes into future products. Methodology: The theory of inventive problem solving can be applied to eliminate compromises in the product development. The method’s different tools enable a goal-oriented and systematic conflict resolution and may help to uncover trends. This paper displays an approach where individual tools of TRIZ are integrated into the Quality Function Deployment. Results: The result of this work is the presentation of the resulting benefits from combining the two methods. For this reason, individual tools of TRIZ are used in different points of the QFD process. The paper shows examples of starting points. Value of paper: In the context of this paper, the benefits from the interaction of QFD and TRIZ are presented. These are particularly evident in the initial phase of project implementation. In this phase the goal of the QFD process is to succeed in translating the voice of the customer for the company and then integrating it into the product development.

Abstract:
Using an improved quality function deployment (QFD) process, an integrated product and process development method was proposed for the clutch friction material, one key part of driveline. The importance ratings of customer requirements for the clutch friction material was calculated and synthesized through the reasonable selection of respondents and the method to determine customer requirements based on importance of rough analytic hierarchy process (AHP) in QFD. Using improved QFD decomposition model, the quality house between customer requirements and part features, process matrix and the key process control sample table were established. The method can be widely used in the development of other key parts.

Abstract:
Organizations strive to develop their products in a way that fulfils customers’ requirements and increases their satisfaction. The traditional Quality Function Deployment (QFD) is a popular technique for that purpose but it has some drawbacks. To tackle these drawbacks, the researchers will implement Blitz QFD a modern model of the traditional one and integrate it with fuzzy logic through a case study on the development of a cargo tricycle. This model provides a leaner approach that captures the most critical requirements of customers in order to implement them and provides more reasonable values as a result of using fuzzy logic.

Abstract:
Ecodesign consists of integrating environmental considerations into the product development process by means of practices that involve the use of methods, techniques, tools, and guidelines. However, many published practices do not incorporate important environmental issues, often resulting in a product development process that is ineffective from an ecodesign standpoint. This paper’s aim is threefold: (i) Identifying environmental and operational criteria and determining weights to these criteria; (ii) assessing and selecting quality function deployment (QFD)-based ecodesign methods using environmental and operational criteria, and (iii) analyzing the practitioners’ perception of the most suitable QFD-based method identified by the second aim. To that end, a comprehensive literature review of ecodesign practices based on QFD and its requirements was carried out, and a survey was conducted with environmental science and product development experts, whose answers enabled the prioritization of the characteristics those practices must meet from environmental and operational standpoints. Thereafter, a workshop was carried out with design engineers from an automotive company in Brazil. This study’s findings indicate that many QFD-based ecodesign methods fail to consider the life cycle perspective, do not assess environmental impacts, and have not been tested before being published. Another finding from industry designers suggests that ecodesign methods should be easy to use and not time-consuming.

Abstract:
I kursen Examensarbete i Integrerad produktutveckling på Högskolan i Skövde har under våren 2017 ett produktutvecklingsprojekt för Kinnarps utförts av designingenjörsstudenterna Eva Henriksson och Sofie Johansson. Kinnarps är ett företag som tillverkar möbler för offentliga miljöer och vill nu i samband med deras nya satsning, att utveckla utformningen av hur lärmiljöer ser ut, ta fram ett höj- och sänkbart elevbord anpassat för årskurs 4-9. Under projektet användes och utvärderades också QFD – Quality Function Deployment som ett verktyg för att identifiera och uppfylla rätt kundbehov. Förstudien och användandet av QFD innebar bland annat att genomföra intervjuer och observationer av användare och målgruppen, identifiera trender i lärmiljöer, utföra konkurrentanalyser, utvärdera och vikta kundbehov samt att översätta behoven till kvalitéer som gick att uppfylla.Förstudien visade på att bordets viktigaste kvaliteter att uppfylla var att det skulle vara flexibelt, mobilt, tyst och enkelt att justera.Konceptutvecklingen inleddes med att identifiera och utvärdera olika höj- och sänkmekanismer. Därefter påbörjades konceptgenerering som utfördes med hjälp av olika kreativitetsmetoder. Koncepten utvärderades och sållades kontinuerligt under processen efter hur väl de uppfyllde kundbehoven samt genom användartester och återkoppling med målgruppen. Inför konceptvalet återstod till sist två koncept. Beslutet av det slutliga konceptet grundades i hur väl det uppfyllde de identifierade kundbehoven.Resultatet blev ett bord som uppfyller de ställda kraven och passar väl in i de lärmiljöer som finns idag men är också anpassat för hur lärmiljöer troligtvis kommer se ut i framtiden. Bordet har den funktionalitet som efterfrågades av användarna samtidigt som det har en utformning som är unik och tilltalande.
During the spring semester of 2017 a product development project has been carried out by two Design Engineering Students, Eva Henriksson and Sofie Johansson, in cooperation with Kinnarps. Kinnarps is a company who develops and sells furniture for public environments and as they are now focusing on the development of how educational spaces are formed and furnished they wanted to develop a height adjustable student desk for pupils between the ages of 10 to 16. To be able to reassure whether the correct customer requirements were identified and fulfilled in the right way QFD – Quality Function Deployment was used and analyzed as a part of the project. The use of QFD during the pre-study included, amongst other things, the execution of interviews and observations of users and the target group, performing competitive analyses, looking into trends , evaluate and weighing the importance of different needs and translating those into measureable specifications.The pre-study showed that needs like mobility, flexibility, simple adjustment and that the table should be as quiet as possible were the most important ones.The concept generation phase started by identifying and evaluating different options of height adjustment mechanisms. Creativity methods were used to generate ideas on how different parts of the table could be constructed. The generated concepts were then evaluated and screened continuously by looking on how well they fulfilled the customer requirements and through user tests and feedback from the target group. Two concepts remained before the final selection. The choice between these two concepts were based on to which extend each of them fulfilled the customer requirements. The final design of the table fulfills the requirements that were set and fits well into the educational spaces as they are formed today and how they probably will be designed in the future. The functionality that were requested by the users have been fulfilled while the table still has a unique and appealing look.

Abstract:
O objetivo deste trabalho é analisar a aplicação do método conhecido como Desdobramento da Função Qualidade no processo de desenvolvimento de embalagens. Este estudo é delimitado para embalagens de autopeças e foi realizado numa montadora de automóveis. A Casa da Qualidade, primeira etapa do método, foi utilizada pelo setor de desenvolvimento de embalagens da montadora para identificar e atender as necessidades dos seus clientes internos e orientar os fornecedores de autopeças no desenvolvimento de embalagens visando melhor qualidade e redução de custos. A pesquisa foi desenvolvida em 2008/ 2009. Essas necessidades foram obtidas por meio de pesquisa qualitativa com as áreas envolvidas no processo de desenvolvimento de embalagens. O trabalho pode ser classificado como exploratório, pois, a partir do levantamento bibliográfico do método QFD e da realização de entrevistas, buscou-se uma melhor compreensão do problema associado a constantes atrasos no cronograma devido à necessidade de alterações da embalagem protótipo. Como resultado preliminar, este estudo permitiu visualizar aspectos importantes relativos a embalagens que não eram considerados na fase inicial do desenvolvimento. Isso ocasionava constantes atrasos no cronograma de aplicação da peça nacional devido à necessidade de alterações na embalagem protótipo.
The objective of this study is to analyze the method known as Quality Function Deployment in the development of packaging. This study is limited to packing of parts packaging and it was carried out in a factory of assembly of cars. The house of quality, first step of the method was used by the industry to develop packages of the factory to identify and meet the needs of your internal customers and direct suppliers of parts in the development of packages aimed at providing better quality and reduced costs. The study was conducted in 2008 / 2009. These needs were obtained through qualitative research with the areas involved in the development of packaging. The work can be classified as exploratory, because from the literature of the QFD method and interviews, we sought a better understanding of the problem associated with constant delays in planning due to the need for changes to the packaging prototype. As preliminary result, this study allowed the visualization of important aspects relating to packaging that were not considered in the initial phase of development. This occasioned the frequent delays in the planning of implementation of the national part due to the need for changes in packaging prototype.

Abstract:
The gradually increasing competition that occurs in mature markets, pushes the companies to consider new ways of competing. The more mature the market becomes the higher level of competitive fulfillment and edge is needed. E.g. for Scania the dimension high quality was until now considered a competitive advantage, but is currently evolving towards a dimension that is necessary to fulfill to even act within the market. Thus, companies such as Scania have to push their limits everywhere possible across their organization. One way to push the limits of R&D and product development (PD) is, based on this thesis and other work, implementing a simulation based product development (SBPD) process. The aim of this thesis has been, by applying a quality function deployment (QFD) model, to show the influence a SBPD process can have on increased competitiveness. By combining published literature within the field with empirical results mostly gained from interviews, nine components representing a SBPD process could be found. These components were characterized in the following categories: IT-infrastructure, design, model & test, and organizational. Depending on the level of fulfillment of these components the SBPD process is more or less implemented within the company. The two components that are considered the most important for Scania in terms of both increased competitiveness and a possible transition towards a SBPD process are Virtual representa-tion of the product and the process throughout the whole PD process and A model driven/model based approach. The work of this thesis has also shown, in correlations with previous published literature, that a SBPD process can significantly decrease the lead-time and cost of development, and at the same time increase the knowledge about the product and the process. The research has also shown that a SBPD process can considerably improve both the internal and the external collaboration. However attaining such a process where these competitive advantages can be gained affects the whole organization, the way development is performed and also the way resources are used. A fully implemented SBPD process has been shown to positively impact the following competitive dimensions; Frequency of product introductions, Lead-time of development, PD process flexibility, Degree of innovation, Customization of the offer, Collaboration with internal and external partners, Knowledge about products and processes, R&D cost, manufacturing cost, Focus on customers operational economics, Product quality, Product safety and Focus on environmental sustainability of the product & the processes. But, to get a positive impact on all these dimensions the components representing a SBPD process must be implemented and applied. Furthermore, this thesis also provides a framework for other companies to evaluate the impact a SBPD process can have on their competitiveness. The analysis model aims to guide companies that want to adopt a SBPD process. The framework can indicate how a SBPD process would impact the firm's competitive strategy. But also to provide guidance to which components that would be more important to implement in order to reach a competitive SBPD process.
Den gradvis ökande konkurrens som uppstår på mogna marknader driver företagen att finna nya sätt att konkurrera. Ju mer mogen marknaden blir desto högre blir kraven på konkurrens. För Scania har faktorn hög kvalitet tills nu betraktas som en konkurrensfördel, men utveckling sker istället mot att det kommer att vara en faktor som är nödvändig att uppfylla för att ens kunna agera på marknaden. Företag som Scania måste således utvecklas över hela organisationen. Ett sätt att tänja på gränserna för FoU och produktutveckling (PD) är, baserat på detta arbete och annan tidigare forskning, att genomföra en förändring mot en simulering baserad produktutvecklings-process (SBPD). Syftet med detta examensarbete har varit att, genom att tillämpa en quality function deployment (QFD) modell, visa effekten en SBPD-process kan ha på ökad konkurrenskraft. Genom att kombinera tidigare publicerad litteratur inom området med empiriska resultat, mestadels insamlat genom intervjuer, kunde nio komponenter som utgör en SBPD-process finnas. Dessa komponenter karakteriserades i följande kategorier: IT-infrastruktur, design, modellera och testa och organisatorisk. Beroende på graden av uppfyllnad på dessa komponenter blir den SBPD-processen mer eller mindre implementerad inom företaget. De två komponenterna som anses viktigast för Scania i form av både ökad konkurrenskraft och en eventuell övergång till en SBPD-process är Virtuell representation av produkten och processen genom hela PD-processen och Ett modellbaserat/ modelldrivet arbetssätt används. Arbetet har också visat i korrelation med tidigare publicerad litteratur, att en SBPD-process kommer att minska ledtiden och kostnaden för utveckling avsevärt och samtidigt öka kunskapen om produkten och processen. Denna studie har också visat att en SBPD-process kan förbättra både interna och externa samarbeten. Men att uppnå en sådan process där dessa konkurrens-fördelar kan vinnas kommer att påverka hela organisationen, det sätt som utveckling utförs på och också hur resurserna används. En fullt implementerad SBPD-process har visat positivt påverkan följande konkurrens faktorer; frekvens av produktlanseringar, ledtiden för utveckling, PD-processflexibilitet, innovationsgrad, anpassning av erbjudandet, samarbete med interna och externa partners, kunskap om produkter och processer, FoU kostnader, tillverkningskostnad, fokus på kundernas driftsekonomi, produktkvalitet, produktsäkerhet och miljöpåverkan av både produkten och processen. För att få en positiv inverkan på alla dessa faktorer måste alla komponenter som utgör en SBPD-process implementeras och tillämpas. Dessutom så presenteras även ett ramverk för andra företag att utvärdera effekterna en SBPD-process skulle ha på deras konkurrenskraft. Analysmodellen syftar till att vägleda företag som vill övergå till en SBPD-process. Ramverket kan ange hur en SBPD-process skulle kunna påverka företagets konkurrensstrategi men också ge vägledning om vilka komponenter som kan vara viktigare att börja implementera för att nå en konkurrenskraftig SBPD-process.

Abstract:

Tendencies in product development of today make it likely that many future products will be functional equivalent and therefore hard to distinguish between for the customer. Customers will decide by highly subjective criteria which product to purchase. One task for product development in this context is to be able to capture the customer’s considerations and feelings of products and translate these emotional aspects into concrete product design.

Today a number of different methods, such as Quality Function Deployment (QFD), Semantical Environment Description (SMB), Conjoint Analysis and Kansei Engineering exist and are used in practical applications.

The purpose of this thesis is to understand and apply Kansei Engineering methodology and explore ways to integrate the methodology into an industrial product development process.

This was done by conducting a study on forklift trucks in different European countries and business areas and by exploring ways of integrating Kansei Engineering in product development processes.

The number of Kansei words collected was reduced based on the result of a pilot study using a combination of different tools. A computerized data collection method was used in combination with a modified VAS-scale in order to reduce the time for filling out the evaluation forms The results of the study in the visited Northern and Middle European companies make it evident that Kansei Engineering has to be adapted in several aspects to the circumstances in each situation. The data showed that there are differences in attitude towards reach trucks in the different European countries. These results were used in order to adapt the product requirements for each specific country. Starting at Cooper’s stage gate model Kansei Engineering was applied on a macro level, a micro level and for verifying purpose. Using QFD, Kansei Engineering helps to identify customer needs their importance and the technical responses as well as to conduct benchmarking and to connect the customer needs mathematically to the technical responses.

This study of Kansei Engineering revealed that there was no general model on the methodology available in English literature. Outgoing from a previous flowchart, a conceptual framework of Kansei Engineering was developed integrating the existing Kansei Engineering Types and future tools.

Abstract:
Technology has been widely implemented in tourism to enhance the tourism product and tourist experience. However, it remains a challenge for many tourism businesses in urban heritage areas to identify technological solutions and successfully implement them into their business strategy. Particularly for urban heritage sites, it is often challenging to provide information within and around a heritage site without disturbing or destroying the heritage image. Augmented Reality (AR) was identified as a suitable technology to overcome this challenge. However, while AR is not considered a new technology in many industries, and mobile tourism applications with AR functions exist, it has provided limited benefits to tourists due to the lack of using AR functions meaningfully. In addition, the development of wearable devices is increasingly focused on the use of augmented and virtual reality to enhance the user experience. Therefore, there is a need to explore methods of meaningful implementation of such technologies for the tourism industry. This study will investigate current standards of AR technology and tourist requirements in order to examine how to develop meaningful mobile AR tourism applications. For the development of a beneficial product, Quality Function Deployment (QFD), as a tool within Total Quality Management (TQM) was identified as the suitable theoretical background for the purpose of this study. QFD was developed in the theory of quality management, in particular TQM. QFD has since been employed across many industries including the hospitality and tourism sector in a number of studies. However, it has not yet been implemented in the urban heritage tourism context, presenting a knowledge gap. As QFD is designed to incorporate the customers’ view into the product design stage, the aim is to design a meaningful product that is valuable for the visitor and benefit the destination. Therefore, this research aims to eliminate the gap by generating a QFD model for the development of mobile AR tourism applications in the context of urban heritage tourism. Dublin was selected as the research site due to its rich urban heritage. After Dublin’s re-branding strategy in 2013, it has marketed itself with the brand image of ‘Digital Dublin’ in order to encourage the implementation of technology for the purpose of promoting urban heritage tourism. Therefore, Dublin was considered as the suitable research site for the purpose of this study. To achieve the research aim, a mixed method approach was employed for the primary research including semi-structured interviews, focus groups and questionnaires. The study was divided into three research phases. Research phase 1 investigates requirements of tourists, mobile AR application developers and industry experts from Dublin’s tourism industry for the development and use of mobile AR tourism applications in urban heritage tourism. 26 in-depth interviews were conducted with international tourists visiting Dublin in addition to 9 interviews with mobile AR application developers and industry experts from Dublin. Findings were analysed using thematic analysis, providing the knowledge base for Research Phase 2 – focus groups. The second research phase was conducted with tourists as a post-experience study. It aimed to confirm identified tourist requirements from the literature and Research Phase 1, and examine additional findings to design the questionnaire for the quantitative Research Phase 3. Research Phase 3 was conducted with domestic and international tourists in Dublin and provided an importance rating of identified tourist requirements for the development of the final QFD model for mobile AR tourism applications in the urban heritage tourism context. The outcomes from the quantitative research were analysed using confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) to reduce tourist requirements for the final QFD model. By identifying tourist requirements and translating them into respective technical characteristics, this study provides a set of technological elements in hierarchical order for the design of meaningful mobile AR tourism applications in urban heritage tourism. The final 18 requirements are in close alignment with the outcomes of the qualitative research of this study highlighting the need of immediate access to information regardless of time and place, while being able to filter the available information to the tourists’ interest and needs. The final QFD model for the development of mobile AR tourism applications in urban heritage tourism was presented as the outcome of this research. The main contribution to theory is the extension in the identification process of customer requirements for the QFD model. While previous studies in QFD have mainly focused on product functions, such as software and hardware capabilities, the QFD model in this study aims to provide a balance between functional requirements and behavioural characteristics of tourists that are driven by psychological aspects. This study not only explored tourist requirements as in previous studies, but furthermore user resistance factors that would result in avoiding mobile AR tourism applications in urban heritage tourism. Including these criteria as customer attributes in the HOQ, the QFD model was extended to include behavioural and psychological attributes of customers, which is valuable for further implementation of QFD particularly in social studies. This research will furthermore contribute to professionals, Destination Marketing Organisations (DMO) as well as mobile AR application developers alike, by providing a model for the development of mobile AR applications in the context of urban heritage tourism that has incorporated tourist requirements as well as mobile AR application developer considerations. Furthermore, it needs to be acknowledged that the requirements are not limited to mobile AR applications, but are considered particularly valuable for further research in the area of mobile application development for tourism purposes and are expected to be partially transferable to other technology implementations for tourism products.

Abstract:
This paper presents a methodology for applying Quality Function Deployment (QFD) to environmentally conscious design in the early stages of product development. The benefit of this approach is the simultaneous consideration of conventional design factors and environmental aspects during conceptual design. QFD’s main mission is to translate customer requirements to product characteristics and design attributes. QFD clarifies what is important for a product to be competitive in the market and identifies engineering specifications and designs that respond to the “voice of customer (VOC).” QFD for the Environment (QFDE) we propose could be applied to environmentally conscious design by including environmental aspects as quality requirements in addition to conventional VOCs. After discussing what kind of requirements and attributes of a product should be considered from the environmental point of view, we came up with a set of environmental quality requirements and engineering specifications, and their correlation factors. Design engineers can find out which parts are the most important parts to enhance environmental consciousness of their products by executing QFDE phase I through phase II. Further, we developed a methodology to evaluate the effects of design improvement concerning the parts on environmental quality requirements as phase III and IV.

Abstract:
This paper describes a decision-making framework for Research and Development (R&D) strategy development using an adaptation of quality function deployment (QFD). Many manufacturing companies are facing challenges in strengthening their competitiveness to survive in an uncertain and fierce competitive businesses environment. Decision-making on R&D strategy, not only for incremental innovation, but also for radical innovation, is essential for the sustainable future of the company. There are well-structured methodologies for routine product development tasks that help planning and decision-making. QFD is one of the most well known tools for product development that uses matrices to identify relative worth of product requirements from market information and flow the requirements down to more detailed decisions. However, in the R&D strategic planning process that occurs prior to product development, there is little work utilizing structured methodologies such as QFD. This paper presents a new usage of QFD in the R&D strategy development process to cover both incremental and radical innovation. Market-pull R&D leads to incremental innovation of the company, and QFD helps identify new technology requirements using future market predictions. On the other hand, technology-push R&D seeks radical innovation; an inverse usage of QFD that defines new customer needs from new technology development can support a step-by-step approach for future business creation in this context. The paper includes a detailed example from the medical device industry that demonstrates the utility of the method in R&D strategy decision process.

Abstract:
Quality Function Deployment (QFD) has long been used as a successful design methodology in the heavy industrial and automotive industries. QFD helps designers utilize the ‘voice of the customer’, or customer requirements, to determine which engineering metrics or product specifications are the most essential [1]. This prioritization helps designers know what part of the product or process is most beneficial to focus on during design, resulting in products that better meet customer requirements and generate increased commercial success. QFD and most other design methodologies have rarely been applied to MEMS products [2]. In the case of QFD, the structure of the most common format of the tool dictates that engineering metrics should be related to parts characteristics in the second step of applying QFD. This causes difficulties in using the tool for MEMS as most MEMS do not have physical ‘parts’ that are assembled into a final device. Rather, MEMS have product specifications and a manufacturing process used to create the product. Generally there is a tight link between product and process in MEMS. This link has been utilized in creating a modified version of QFD that relates engineering metrics to design concepts, including product conceptualization and manufacturing process. The modified QFD utilizes aspects of Pugh Concept Selection, and differs from typical QFD primarily in consideration of product idea and manufacturing process in the early phases of product definition. The modified QFD was applied to a MEMS project whose goal was to develop a handheld device that allows users to control the selection and release of a variety of stored scents. The technique was also applied to a microscale heat exchanger for integrated circuits. The scent dispenser and heat exchanger were designed and prototyped at Stanford University in 2005 and 2006, respectively. The modified version of QFD gave insight early in the product definition phase on which design concept to pursue to prototype. Use of this and other design methodologies in the MEMS field could shorten the time it takes to progress through product development to volume manufacturing, and increase confidence in the marketability of the chosen design and manufacturing process. A case study demonstrating the effects of using modified QFD Phase II to assist in finding a good fit between technical capabilities and market application was performed by the author on an acoustic sensor technology [3].

Abstract:
Quality Function Deployment (QFD), as an effective tool for customer-driven product development, has been widely adopted in manufacturing companies for many years. The main difficulties in using QFD lie in capturing the actual needs of customers, and in the conflicting conclusions provided by different experts while establishing the relationship matrix between customer requirements and engineering characteristics. This paper describes a novel approach to applying QFD. Firstly, the customer requirements are captured through Web-based technology. Secondly, the relationship matrix between customer requirements and engineering characteristics is established by handling coordinately fuzzy knowledge. Thirdly, the translation of a customer’s importance ratings into engineering weightings is carried out by fuzzy mapping technology. In order to reduce the complexity of HOQ, the less important customer requirements and engineering characteristics are identified and eliminated from the model by using α-cuts. Finally, an example using a refrigerator illustrates that the proposed approach is both available and practicable.

This paper presents an advanced application of Quality Function Deployment (QFD) for product development projects. Design process error-proofing not only seeks to prevent catastrophic failures but also addresses product definition problems that compromise product features, time-to-market, or cost. Project QFD helps identify the organization requirements and flow them down to the activities, tools, and other solution elements for the project. This approach aids both product definition and resource allocation to clarify and strategically align project goals. The paper explains the method, illustrates it with an example, and discusses its effectiveness through a survey in industry and practical design projects at Stanford. The paper concludes with the proposed work to further disseminate this method.

Abstract:
Quality Function Deployment (QFD) was initially developed to aid in designing a quality product by interconnecting customer needs in a market segment with technical requirements. Although it assists in improving product quality, it does not have a function to examine technical requirements across the major market segments serviced by a company’s product lines and to aid in developing product platform concepts. In this paper, we present a product platform development method using QFD that aids in developing platform concepts as well as improving the understanding of product family design. This method includes platform planning and platform concept exploration. Platform planning describes the extent to which a variety of products share common components, and platform concepts then are explored, which are the arrangement of common components. This paper uses an electric razor example to illustrate the proposed method.

Abstract:
Quality Function Deployment — QFD combined with Concurrent Engineering — CE as a support tool for the competitive strategy on product development is devised. In this study, beyond the proposed method, it is intended to develop relations with innovational models, arrangements of innovation and technology transfer, learning in organizations, and how the diffusion of knowledge occurs. QFD can also be one those main tools of CE as this identifies the customer’s main requirements translating into the features required for products. The field survey of exploratory and descriptive type, using the questionnaire as data collection technique, was carried out in the manufacturing companies in the fast growing sectors of automobile industries in the State of Parana located in the Southern of Brazil. The selection of sample companies was made intentionally to guarantee of return of answer through the accessibility criteria. The reasons for this fact that can be pointed out are: the use of “home made” methodology to fulfill customer’s requirements, unknowing of the methodology, and the lack of adequate training to use QFD. It is expected that the results of findings, if disseminated adequately among local companies, will help to enhance the competitiveness performance beyond the local market scenario.

Full text
Abstract:
Unmanned aerial systems (UAS) are increasingly used for a variety of applications related to INDOT’s mission including bridge inspection, traffic management, incident response, construction and roadway mapping. UAS have the potential to reduce costs and increase capabilities. Other state DOTs and transportation agencies have deployed UAS for an increasing number of applications due to technology advances that provide increased capabilities and lower costs, resulting from regulatory changes that simplified operations for small UAS under 55 pounds (aka, sUAS). This document provides an overview of UAS applications that may be appropriate for INDOT, as well as a description of the regulations that affect UAS operation as described in 14 CFR Part 107. The potential applications were prioritized using Quality Function Deployment (QFD), a methodology used in the aerospace industry that clearly communicates qualitative and ambiguous information with a transparent framework for decision making. The factors considered included technical feasibility, ease of adoption and stakeholder acceptance, activities underway at INDOT, and contribution to INDOT mission and goals. Dozens of interviews with INDOT personnel and stakeholders were held to get an accurate and varied perspective of potential for UAVs at INDOT. The initial prioritization was completed in early 2019 and identified three key areas: UAS for bridge inspection safety as a part of regular operations, UAS for construction with deliverables provided via construction contracts, and UAS for emergency management. Descriptions of current practices and opportunities for INDOT are provided for each of these applications. An estimate of the benefits and costs is identified, based on findings from other agencies as well as projections for INDOT. A benefit cost analysis for the application of UAS for bridge inspection safety suggests a benefit cost over one for the analysis period.

Full text
Abstract:
We develop and estimate a model of child care markets that endogenizes both demand and supply. On the demand side, families with a child make consumption, labor supply, and child-care decisions within a static, unitary household model. On the supply side, child care providers make entry, price, and quality decisions under monopolistic competition. Child development is a function of the time spent with each parent and at the child care center; these inputs vary in their impact. We estimate the structural parameters of the model using the 2003 Early Childhood Longitudinal Study, which contains information on parental employment and wages, child care choices, child development, and center quality. We use our estimates to evaluate the impact of several policies, including vouchers, cash transfers, quality regulations, and public provision. Among these, a combination of quality regulation and vouchers for working families leads to the greatest gains in average child development and to a large expansion in child care use and female labor supply, all at a relatively low fiscal cost.

An evaluation of soil phosphorus storage capacity (SPSC) at proposed wetland restoration locations in the western Lake Erie Basin. Engineer Research and Development Center (U.S.), September 2021. http://dx.doi.org/10.21079/11681/42108.

Full text
Abstract:
Historical loss of wetlands coupled with excess phosphorus (P) loading at watershed scales have degraded water quality in portions of the western Lake Erie Basin (WLEB). In response, efforts are underway to restore wetlands and decrease P loading to surface waters. Because wetlands have a finite capacity to retain P, researchers have developed techniques to determine whether wetlands function as P sources or sinks. The following technical report evaluates the soil P storage capacity (SPSC) at locations under consideration for wetland restoration in collaboration with the Great Lakes Restoration Initiative (GLRI) and the H2Ohio initiative. Results indicate that the examined soils display a range of P retention capacities, reflecting historic land-use patterns and management regimes. However, the majority of study locations exhibited some capacity to sequester additional P.
