Book description
Make the Most of QFD and the Voice of the Customer in Six
Sigma Environments
Quality Function Deployment (QFD) techniques have helped thousands
of organizations deliver higher-quality, more user-focused product
designs. Now, Lou Cohen’s classic guide to QFD has been
thoroughly updated to fully align QFD with Design for Six Sigma
(DFSS) and other state-of-the-art Six Sigma methodologies.
Revised by world-class Six Sigma expert Joe Ficalora and his team
at Sigma Breakthrough Technologies, this new edition’s
up-to-date perspective on QFD reflects dozens of successful Six
Sigma and DFSS deployments. They offer a start-to-finish
methodology for implementing QFD, and systematically illuminate
powerful linkages between QFD and Six Sigma, DFSS, Marketing for
Six Sigma (MFSS), and Technology for Six Sigma (TFSS). An expanded,
start-to-finish case study demonstrates how QFD should function
from all angles, from design and marketing to technology and
service.
