Describe the principle parts of a quality function deployment matrix

What will be an ideal response?


A QFD has two principle parts. The horizontal component records information related to the customer. The customer's wants and needs are captured by listening to the voice of the customer and translating their wants and needs into operational goals. Customers are asked to rank these operational goals from least to most important. The horizontal component also captures information about customer preferences by comparing competitors. The vertical component records the organization's technical response to these customer inputs. Essentially, a QFD matrix clearly shows what the customer wants and how the organization is going to achieve those wants. The essential steps to a QFD are shown in the chapter figure.
