This study presents the concept, design, force and stress analysis of a connector, which helps in transmitting mechanical forces, power and data from one module to another in self-reconfigurable modular robotic systems. The connector is the most important part of self-reconfigurable modular robotic systems to connect and disconnect the modules. This part needs to fulfill a wide range of requirements. The two important properties, latching and geometrical shape have been focused on for designing the connector. The connector includes male and female components. The male component has a target ball; the female has a cup shaped socket, a locking ball, and an alignment cone with teeth for connecting with the male component. Two methods, quality function deployment (QFD) and Pugh decision matrix have been used for optimizing this design. In addition, for designing the connector of a self-reconfigurable modular serpentine sensing robot, one particular area of application and one special configuration of a self-reconfigurable modular robot have been taken into consideration. Based on the results of this project, a guideline for improving and optimizing the dimensions and for analyzing different forces and stresses for designing of the connector is provided to make a good model.

Sustainability Principles

The contribution of banks to sustainable advancement is supreme, considering the vital part they play in funding the economic actions of the human race. But, in the fast-changing banking ecosystem, quantifying the level of sustainability attained by financial institutions is a challenging task due to the need of considering a wide range of economic, environmental, and social dimensions concurrently. In this chapter, a novel method based on the technique for order preference by similarity to ideal solution (TOPSIS) and quality function deployment (QFD) is proposed for the first time to evaluate the sustainable efficiency of banking operations. The QFD technique is employed here to provide due importance to the customers' needs with respect to banks' sustainability, and subsequently calculate the priority weights of the considered criteria of sustainability principles. Then, TOPSIS is employed to rank alternatives based on the extent to which they conform to sustainability principles.

Information physical security (IPS) refers to the prevention from intended attacks against all material devices and to the protection against deliberate attacks by supporting and managing related data/information. Information in today's world represents an important asset to be protected and for this reason it is necessary to adopt a suitable method for risk and security management. The Quality Function Deployment (QFD) method was originally developed as a tool capable of ensuring a valuable help in the design of products and services, guaranteeing customer satisfaction and value creation. The core of the method is the set of matrices called the ‘House of Quality’ (HoQ), which relates the Customer Requirements (CRs) with Engineering Characteristics (ECs): in other words, the HoQ is a way of translating customer requirements into design parameters. Numerous studies have demonstrated its use in a wide range of sectors. In particular, its application in the security engineering context has been investigated by means of the House of Security (HoS). Its objective is represented by the classification of the components of a security system in response to different scenarios of voluntary attacks. Based on this, the aim of the study consists in extending such an approach to information physical security. More in detail, the purpose of this paper is the development of a systematic model, based on the HoS and applicable to information physical security, that allows the definition and raking of the vital components of an information physical security system (IPSS). In this way, it is possible to perform a proper cost/benefit analysis, considering a general physical layout of a certain organization so that the results can be wide-ranging and applicable in different contexts.

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.

AbstrakThe data of year 2006 show that amount of polyclinic patients care unit of BRSUD�45� Kuningan is the most among other polyclinics. The result of observation and interviews tell that the degree of satisfaction got by the patients is in the level(category) of middle (enough) and the degree of importance is in the level of high (important). The purpose of doing this research is to analyze the quality of service to improve the patients satisfaction using Quality Function Deployment method involving 96 respondents. The data were taken from the result of applying quality Function Deployment method in BRSUD�45� Kuningan tells that the attribute owning the highest level of importance is the competence or the skill of the doctors in handling their works while the attribute owning the lowest level is the availability of the public service facilities such as public phones, televisions, and ATM. The attribute that owns the most satisfaction value is the dressy of the officials while the attribute that owns the least satisfaction value is the comfortable, hygiene water closet. The technical characteristic owning relatively the highest importance value is the standard officers� performance; therefore, such attribute gets the highest attentive priority of technical characteristic (technical response)Keywords : QFD, House of Quality, Voice of Customer, Technical Characteristic, Technical Response
