Enhancing life-cycle integration through the application of Case-Based Reasoning to Quality Function Deployment

摘要

Quality Function Deployment (QFD) is a product development methodology that is primarily aimed at increasing customer focus throughtout the poduct development process. One benefit of this approach is a more structured and visible decision making process which spans a number of life-cycle activities. In this way QFD is often regarded as a facilitator of life-cycle engineering techniques such as Concurrent Engineering.
