Abstract Quality improvement research in aircraft maintenance as well as our knowledge of the methods in the course of which enhancement is achieved and managed is disoriented and deficient. Current preventive maintenance practices are usually based on the number of flight cycles, flight hours or calendar time. Such PM activities are technical programme-oriented without any consideration for customer requirements are expectations. The unfortunate issue is that the results provided by these technically-oriented decisions are usually sub-optional. After characterised by poor customer satisfaction, requiring repeat services in some cases. A worse situation may even result such that total customer dissatisfaction may trigger out souring maintenance services despite having resources for repairs and services. In this communication, a complete departure from current practice in preventive maintenance of pure technical content to technical plus customer focused practice is adopted. This innovative approach involves obtaining customer requirements and translating them into design requirements in the house of quality of the quality function deployment (QFD). Questionnaire were developed and administered while the results were coupled with interviews to obtain the desired model validation of the QFD structure formulated. The results indicated feasibility of the proposed approach in practice. With thus novel contribution to literature, preventive maintenance managers in airline could confidently schedule services for success with a customer orientation.

Quality Function Deployment (QFD) is defined as a method that supports the structured design of products or services. The method is based on the customer needs and involves all the relevant parties within an organization that develops and produces a product through teamwork. It is a method for mapping and prioritizing customer requirements into functional features and technical modules to optimize market performance. Although the quality of a service can be dramatically improved through a QFD exercise, the traditional crisp scoring approach has a major drawback. A wrong conclusion can be easily produced since the fuzzy nature of linguistic correlation terms from evaluation members is ignored. To overcome this problem, fuzzy scoring for linguistic terms is proposed in this paper. This study integrates fuzzy logic into House Of Quality to establish a framework for prioritizing customer requirements to simply, objectively, and scientifically analyze service features.

Quality function deployment (QFD) is a powerful tool of the customer requirements into technical characteristics. With QFD, the design of fire main fight vehicles can be expressed more credibility via the correlation matrix. After the client important degree is calculated through AHP method, requirement is deployed and correlation matrix is built, the requirement important degree is decided. And an example is presented to express and verify the method. It shows that the method is simple and reflects the requirement of users.

The safety of container terminal loading and unloading operations is an important link in international port logistics, and such operations deeply affect terminal operating efficiency and service quality. Finding solutions for improving the safety and quality of loading and unloading operations has therefore become very important. In this article, a fuzzy grey quality function deployment approach was developed to identify solutions for improving the safety of container terminal loading and unloading operations in Taiwan. First, the fuzzy grey quality function deployment approach was presented. Second, this study employed a house of quality to facilitate investigation of the 18 safety needs’ attributes and 10 feasible technical solutions. Safety needs, and their importance and satisfaction, were then examined via an expert questionnaire. Subsequently, a fuzzy relationship matrix was constructed to link technical solutions and safety needs in a fuzzy decision environment. Finally, the fuzzy grey quality function deployment approach was applied to prioritize technical solutions regarding improving the safety quality of container terminal loading and unloading operations in Taiwan. This study’s results show that the top six most feasible technical solutions for improving the safety quality of loading and unloading operations are “implementing professional education and training,”“enhancing safety awareness and behavior of personnel,”“developing effective standard operating procedures,”“adequate safety equipment,”“establishing a good safety climate,” and “regular maintenance of hardware and equipment.” These top six technical solutions are also discussed in this article.
