This paper presents a methodology for applying Quality Function Deployment (QFD) to environmentally conscious design in the early stages of product development. The benefit of this approach is the simultaneous consideration of conventional design factors and environmental aspects during conceptual design. QFD’s main mission is to translate customer requirements to product characteristics and design attributes. QFD clarifies what is important for a product to be competitive in the market and identifies engineering specifications and designs that respond to the “voice of customer (VOC).” QFD for the Environment (QFDE) we propose could be applied to environmentally conscious design by including environmental aspects as quality requirements in addition to conventional VOCs. After discussing what kind of requirements and attributes of a product should be considered from the environmental point of view, we came up with a set of environmental quality requirements and engineering specifications, and their correlation factors. Design engineers can find out which parts are the most important parts to enhance environmental consciousness of their products by executing QFDE phase I through phase II. Further, we developed a methodology to evaluate the effects of design improvement concerning the parts on environmental quality requirements as phase III and IV.

The design phase is recognized as a key phase in the application of sustainable manufacturing concepts. Green Quality Function Deployment (GQFD) and modularity play an important role in product design. Green Quality Function Deployment produces technical parameters that represent the needs of consumers while taking into account environmental aspects. Modularity benefits manufacturing and flexibility in facing adjustments and changes. Integration of GQFD and modularity is expected to generate synergistic gains from both. The results are measured by life cycle assessment (LCA) to determine the impact of the product on the environment. This study shows that GQFD, modularity and LCA integration in realizing sustainable product design is worthy of consideration. The case study was conducted with the fan because the product is very needed in the tropics, such as Indonesia.

Permasalahan dalam penelitian ini adalah bagaimanakah peningkatan kualitas layanan konsumen CV. Sinar Jaya Agung dengan metode servqual dan quality function deployment dengan tujuan untuk mengetahui persepsi konsumen dengan metode servqual, untuk menentukan nilai gap servqual antara persepsi dan harapan konsumen, dan untuk meningkatkan kualitas layanan sesuai dengan kebutuhan dan keinginan konsumen dengan menggunakan metode quality function deployment. Hasil penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa semakin tinggi nilai customer satisfaction performancemaka semakin tinggi pula tingkat persepsi konsumen terhadap atribut oleh responden, nilai gap servqual diperoleh nilai tertinggi sebesar 0,35 pada atribut karyawan memiliki kompetensi dan profesional dalam melayani pelanggan. Dengan demikian dapat diartikan bahwa kualitas layanan konsumen yang diberikan sudah bisa dikatakan baik. Hasil pengujian quality function deployment menunjukkan bahwa untuk meningkatkan kualitas layanan sesuai dengan kebutuhan dan keinginan konsumen, maka perusahaan harus melakukan beberapa perbaikan, antara lain: lokasi perusahaan harus mudah dijangkau oleh konsumen, penyediaan checklist pembersihan, pemberian pelatihan rutin kepada karyawan, serta service yang baik dari karyawan pada konsumen.
