The House of Quality in a Minute by Christian N. Madu Pdf

Quality function deployment (QFD) is an effective tool to help organizations to become more competitive by designing their products and services to satisfy customers’ requirements. This book is precise and direct and focuses on the key issues in building the House of Quality otherwise known as Quality Function Deployment (QFD). By reading this book, the manager understands how to solicit customer requirement information, how design requirements are matched to customer requirements, how priorities of customer needs are established, and how activities are benchmarked. Furthermore, this new edition expands the topic to include process change initiatives on the premise that QFD cannot be achieved if the organization itself is not transformed to achieve customer satisfaction. The manager is guided on how to solve critical problems to achieve customer satisfaction. The book guides the reader to understand how companywide quality activities are related to QFD. This association is often lacking in other presentations that treat QFD as if it is independent of other quality efforts, such as process change initiative. The book will therefore include information on related quality initiatives such as: • Identification of customer needs • Benchmarking & re-engineering • Strategic planning • Quality assurance • Stakeholder teams • Cost control & productivity improvement • Six sigma • Process change initiative

It is time to take a more advanced approach for cross functional and long-term improvements that will achieve the systems level results the public deserves. The purpose of this book is to introduce the concepts embedded in Quality Function Deployment (QFD) and Lean Six Sigma to help Public Health professionals in their implementation of quality improvement within their agencies. The tools and techniques of QFD and Lean Six Sigma can help problem solving teams by providing insight into customer needs and wants, the design and development of customer centric processes, and mapping value streams. Both QFD and Lean Six Sigma focus on doing the most with the resources we have. The methods in this text are the next step to harness the energy, enthusiasm, hard work, and dedication of our public health workforce to make a lasting difference.

Design for Six Sigma in Product and Service Development by Elizabeth A. Cudney,Sandra L. Furterer Pdf

Real-world examples and hands-on experience are invaluable resources when learning how to use new methods and tools, whether in training or in a classroom. Yet there are very few books on Design for Six Sigma (DFSS) that provide the practical knowledge required to be up and running quickly. Until now. Design for Six Sigma in Product and Service Development: Applications and Case Studies provides step-by-step analysis and practical guidance on how to apply DFSS in product and service development. The book discusses the DFSS roadmap and how it is linked to methodologies, including organizational leadership, product development, system integration, critical parameter management, voice of the customer, quality function deployment, and concept generation. The chapter authors provide real-world case studies that demonstrate how the application of DFSS has significantly improved meeting customer requirements. They follow the Identify-Define-Design-Optimize-Validate (IDDOV) structure for new product or service development. Examples of tools covered include Quality Function Deployment, Voice of the Customer, Pugh Concept Selection, Ideal Function, Failure Modes and Effects Analysis, Reliability, Measurement Systems Analysis, Regression Analysis, and Capability Studies, among others. Clearly outlining the tools and how to integrate them for robust product and service design, the case studies can be used by industry professionals and academics to learn how to apply DFSS. The book gives you hands-on experience in a safe environment, where experienced Black Belts and Master Black Belts act as mentors and prepare you to touch actual data and make decisions when embarking on real-world projects. Even after you’ve mastered the techniques, the breadth and depth of coverage contained in this book will make it a vital part of your toolkit.

The QFD Handbook by Jack B. ReVelle,John W. Moran,Charles A. Cox Pdf

Das Konzept des Quality Function Deployment (QFD) setzt mit Hilfe einer Reihe von Matrizen Kundenwünsche in Konstruktions- oder Designerfordernisse um. Die Konstruktions- und Designerfordernisse wiederum werden umgesetzt in Produkt- bzw. Teilprodukteigenschaften, die ihrerseits wieder auf Produktionsprozesse und anschließend auf spezielle Prozeß- und Steuerungsmechanismen übertragen werden. Dieses Buch wendet das QFD Konzept auf eine Reihe von unternehmerischen Schlüsselthemen an, die bislang unbehandelt geblieben sind, wie z. B. ISO9000, Service Design, Robust Design und Software Design. Das Buch wird mit Begleitdiskette geliefert, die mit der entsprechenden QFD Software ausgestattet ist. (11/97)
