Quality Function Deployment for Environment (QFDE) is an effective eco-design tool to transform the voices of customer and environment into the engineering metrics for evaluating product design. From the viewpoint of green manufacturing, machining process design is focused on by many manufacturers and it is necessary to evaluate its environmental impact. The QFDE method is developed to evaluate machining process design with the new house of quality. According to the evaluation, design engineers can identify which part characteristics and their machining processes should be focused on and then know how to improve the product design. A case of an engine is studied to illustrate the proposed method.

Purpose This paper aims to investigate to what extent quality function deployment (QFD) can be used in quality improvement rather than design activities. Design/methodology/approach A framework was developed for implementation of QFD as a quality improvement tool. A case study approach is used to test this framework, and quality issues were analyzed using the framework in a ceramic tile manufacturing company. Findings The results showed considerable improvements in the critical quality characteristics identified and sales rates, demonstrating the potential of QFD to be used in assessing and prioritizing areas of improvement, and converting them into measurable process or product requirements. Research limitations/implications One case study was completed. More studies would be beneficial to support current findings. Practical implications This framework provides structured approach and guidelines for practitioners in adapting QFD for quality improvements in existing products or processes. Originality/value This study proposes a new framework to use QFD in quality improvement activities, expanding its application areas. Moreover, the results of the literature study performed provide a valuable collection of practical QFD implementation examples.

Limited space in carrying out activities demanded the availability of furniture that has multifunctional. The purpose of this research is to design a multi-functional Stair Chair. The method used is Quality Function Deployment. The Quality Function Deployment method is used to obtain the product variables desired by most prospective users so that expected design results can fulfill the consumer's wishes. Existing product variables are the description of the main aspects of designing a product i.e. function, shape, construction and material. The main aspects of this design should be considered in order to produce a product design that meets the criteria in designing the correct furniture techniques. The understanding of the importance of ergonomics and anthropometry is indispensable for the main purpose of product design that is appropriate to the wishes of consumers can be fulfilled. Comfort and security become something the parameters must be met. Suitability of the size of furniture with users should be noticed for comfort in use can be fulfilled. Application method of Quality Function Deployment recommends that the development of stair seat products should be aware of the variable needs of consumers who have high weight, namely using strong raw materials, using raw materials that are durable, Using a maximum construction of 2 types, the system of fix assembly. Keywords: design; ladder chair; multi function; quality function deployment ABSTRAKKeterbatasan ruang  dalam melaksanakan aktivitas menuntut tersedianya furnitur yang memiliki multifungsi. Tujuan penelitian ini merancang Kursi Tangga yang memiliki multi fungsi. Metode yang digunakan adalah Quality Function Deployment. Metode Quality Function Deployment digunakan untuk mendapatkan variabel produk yang diinginkan oleh sebagian besar calon pemakai sehingga diharapkan hasil perancangan dapat memenuhi keinginan konsumen. Variabel produk yang ada merupakan penjabaran dari aspek utama dalam merancang sebuah produk yaitu fungsi, bentuk, konstruksi dan bahan. Aspek utama dalam perancangan ini harus diperhatikan agar menghasilkan rancangan produk yang memenuhi kriteria dalam teknik mendesain furniture yang benar. Pemahaman akan pentingnya ergonomi dan antropometri sangat diperlukan agar tujuan utama perancangan produk yang sesuai dengan keinginan konsumen dapat terpenuhi. Kenyamanan dan keamanan menjadi sesuatu parameter yang harus dipenuhi. Kesesuaian ukuran furniture dengan pengguna harus diperhatikan agar kenyamanan dalam pemakaian dapat terpenuhi. Aplikasi metode Quality Function Deployment merekomendasikan bahwa pengembangan produk Kursi Tangga harus memperhatikan variabel kebutuhan konsumen yang memiliki bobot tinggi yaitu menggunakan bahan baku yang kuat, menggunakan bahan baku yang awet, menggunakan konstruksi maksimal 2 jenis, sistem perakitan mati.

The Relationship

The selection of a design for the given product is a critical problem in product design development. Focuses of the designers and customers on the design are not identical. In order to bridge the gap and provide a more relaxing way to select the design, a new method based on quality function deployment (QFD) is proposed. In such a method, customers are required to give their linguistic preferences on the design with respect to the customer requirements (CRs). In the rating of the weight of CRs, they are allowed to provide incomplete linguistic weight information and the objective optimization model is proposed to derive the exact linguistic weight information. Designers are required to rate the correlation between design requirements (DRs) and the relationship between the CRs and DRs to construct the house of quality. Opinions given by the customers are translated into the opinions with respect to the DRs based on the QFD. Afterwards, the priorities of the designs and design requirements are determined. The assessment results not only show the contribution of each design requirement to the customer satisfaction but also show the advantages and disadvantages of each design from the designers’ perspective clearly and directly. An example is provided to validate the applicability of the proposed method.

The Finite Element Analysis (FEA) is becoming increasingly popular among design engineers using it as one of many product design tools. Safe and cost efficient use of FEA as a product design tool requires training, different from that presently found in undergraduate curriculum of mechanical engineering students. The specific requirements of design engineers for training in the field of FEA have been addressed by the author in a number of professional development courses in FEA, catering specifically to the needs of design engineers. This paper discuses tools and methods used in the development and delivery of these courses and their applicability to the undergraduate courses taught in Canadian Engineering schools.
