What is Quality?
More than avoiding repairs Reconcile what consumers want with what can be built Before Industrial revolution Marketing + engineering +manufacturing = 1 person Now we must get these different divisions to talk to each other, how? The House of Quality
Background
The House of Quality aka Quality Function Deployment Originated in Japan 1972 Mitsubishis Kobe Shipyard
Others credit two Japanese professors back in the 1960s (Drs. Yoji Akao and Shigeru Mizuno)
Graphic tool which links customer needs to product capabilities focuses and coordinates skills within an organization, first to design, then to manufacture and market goods that customers want to purchase and will continue to purchase.
House of Quality
Japanese automaker with QFD made fewer changes than U.S. company without QFD
2nd Design across corporate functions Leads to reduced prelaunch time and after launch tinkering
Toyota 1977-1984 60% reduction in cost
U.S. company
Japanese company 90% of total Japanese changes complete 20-24 Months 14-17 Months 1-3 Months +3 Months

House to House
Principles apply to any effort between manufacturing functions and customer satisfaction that are not easy to visualize The Hows become the Whats
the outputs become a starting point for the next stage in development

Discussion
Has anyone used this method? What was your experience? Which processes or products lend themselves well to this type of approach? Are there processes and products that do not work well with this method?
