Quality Function Deployment – QFD
Quality function deployment provides the essential link between customer requirements and the
available technology required for developing optimized products and
services that best suit customer needs and expectations. By using QFD,
businesses can now easily make use of existing technology – or even use a
completely new technology – for designing and developing products or
services without worrying about the negative fallout that is commonly
associated with undertaking technology development and product
development initiatives, both at the same time.


QFD has made it easier for businesses to make the benefits of newer
technology available to their customers through improvements made in the
existing product or service.


Importance Of QFD


QFD is important because it offers multiple benefits such as better
conceptualization and implementation, increased production efficiency,
and increased customer satisfaction. At the conceptualization stage, the
main worry of product designers is whether the available technology can
be successfully used or not for satisfying customer needs and
expectations. It may look good on paper, but problems may start to
surface when actual production starts if proper analysis is not done at
the conceptualization stage regarding the compatibility of the available
technology with the suggested manufacturing processes.


QFD helps because it effectively maps the complete production cycle,
indicating exactly when and where to use the available technology to get
the desired results. QFD also points out possible problems that may
arise in the near future, which in turn helps managers to devise
innovative solutions or backup plans well in advance. This not only
helps businesses to satisfy customer needs and expectations through
optimized products or services, but also helps them to reduce costs
though increased production efficiency.


When To Use QFD


QFD is most effective when it is implemented in the early stages of
the design phase. The early stages of the design phase is the time when
new features are being incorporated based on customer requirements,
making it necessary to implement Quality Function Deployment so as to resolve any critical
issues before they transform into major problems and become a threat to
the project itself. Implementing QFD after the design phase may not help
much, because by then it will be very difficult and costly for the
business to revert back to another product design if it has been found
that the existing product design does not confirm to customer needs and
expectations due to faults in the conceptualization stage.


To derive maximum benefits from QFD, businesses should make it a
point to undertake proper analysis of all the related aspects and make
the information available to all employees associated with the project.
For ensuring the success of QFD initiatives, it is also necessary for
businesses to manage the operations through a multidisciplinary team,
comprising of members from all functional departments within the
organization. This is necessary because no matter how good a plan is,
there will always be the need for expert advice and suggestions for
solving day-to-day problems that are likely to occur during the course
of the project implementation.
