CORE DEFINITION
Quality Function Deployment, which uses a "House of Quality" matrix to translate customer requirements into product characteristics, part characteristics, process requirements, and production requirements, ensuring the voice of the customer is integrated throughout the entire process.
SCAFFOLDING EFFECT
Reduce cognitive load
Systematic translation of customer requirements. Prevents customer requirements from being distorted or omitted during the R&D process, ensuring the final product meets real needs.
Anchor fast decisions
Customer requirements (voice) are prone to distortion in the R&D chain. QFD uses a "House of Quality" matrix to translate "what customers want" level by level into "technical characteristics → parts → process → production requirements," marking the strength of correlation and conflicts at each level, ensuring requirements are not lost throughout the entire process.
