Corrugated Paper

Corrugated paper industry is an indispensable industry and it has been developed for more than fifty years. Hence, it is important for a firm to find its core competence, study effective business strategies, and form a long-term competitive advantage. However, few researchers focus on the harmonizing between the operational problems and solutions from customers’ and suppliers’ angles. The purposes of this research are to analyze frequently encountered problems and to find appropriate solutions to upgrade production efficiency and business performance for the corrugated paper industry in Taiwan. This study mixes Quality Function Deployment and Analytic Hierarchy Process approach to find some operational problems and provide the solutions based on experts' experience. The findings are projected to deliver some significant contributions; academically, by professionally conducting further theoretical validation and by adopting suitable strategies to fit the needs of customers.

Hierarchy Process

Quality function deployment (QFD) is a methodology that extracts client demands (CDs) and inducting them in the final service/product. Once CDs are extracted from client the traditional QFD approach uses absolute importance to identify the degree of importance for each CD. Direct evaluation of CDs based on absolute weighting without tradeoffs is easy to perform, but may lead to serious deviations from reality. An alternative to avoid this problem is to adopt the analytic hierarchy process (AHP) approach. In this paper, an integrated model combining AHP and QFD has been delineated as a quality achievement tool in healthcare. A case study is performed on the healthcare services provided by government general hospital, Indore District, Madhya Pradesh, India and data has been analyzed to benchmark the proposed framework by computing the degree of relative importance for CDs through AHP and incorporating them in subsequent deployment matrices.

Qfd Method

The Musculoskeletal disorder (MSDs) is skeletal muscle disorders that lead to damage in nerves, muscles, joints and cartilages. The damage is caused by muscle tension and degeneration. From the preliminary research in virgin coconut oil (VCO) processing industry, Central Java, Indonesia, there are potential risk of MSDs for workers. The majority of operators complaining on the right thigh (score 37) and left thigh (score 35). In addition, 50% of operators is work with moderate risk (rapid entire body assessment scores 4-7) and 50% others at a high risk level (rapid entire body assessment scores 8-10). Therefore, improvement is needed to prevent MSDs through work facility design using an integrated quality function deployment (QFD) method. In QFD, there is a concept screening phase to select some product design concept. To determine the priority, the QFD method can be integrated with analytic hierarchy process (AHP) method. The research shows that attributes of work facility needed by user are ergonomic, portable, durable and aesthetic. Concept design B have the highest priority score 0,32 and selected as the final work facility design. The technical specification are made from mahogany wood with an attractive design, red colour combination and developed based on user's anthropometry data.

Hierarchy Process

The aim of this paper is to review the literature on the combined use of Quality Function Deployment (QFD) and Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) methodologies and to apply a comprehensive analysis over the resulting publications. The paper seeks to classify the articles with regard to their variations and extensions, and application areas. The articles are mostly applied in manufacturing, supply chain, higher education, strategy, service and sustainability. This review is characterized by a quantitative and qualitative approach of a non-probabilistic intentional sample composed of 100 academic papers – 98 articles and 2 reviews. For this purpose, the Scopus database was selected as a means to undertake a systematic investigation with a longitudinal cut from 1994 to 2015. The aim of this paper also contributes toward complementing Ho and Mehrjerdi revisions on deepening the QFD-AHP joint application. The limitation is related to the sample of works focus of this review, restricted to the Scopus database, thereby not characterizing the literature universe. A proposal for further investigations is to expand the search scope to other databases and to carry out a deeper analysis on each application area presented.
