Quality Function Deployment and Six Sigma: A QFD Handbook, Second Edition
by Joseph P. Ficalora, Louis Cohen
Overview
Make the Most of QFD and the Voice of the Customer in Six
Sigma Environments
Quality Function Deployment (QFD) techniques have helped thousands
of organizations deliver higher-quality, more user-focused product
designs. Now, Lou Cohen’s classic guide to QFD has been
thoroughly updated to fully align QFD with Design for Six Sigma
(DFSS) and other state-of-the-art Six Sigma methodologies.
Revised by world-class Six Sigma expert Joe Ficalora and his team
at Sigma Breakthrough Technologies, this new edition’s
up-to-date perspective on QFD reflects dozens of successful Six
Sigma and DFSS deployments. They offer a start-to-finish
methodology for implementing QFD, and systematically illuminate
powerful linkages between QFD and Six Sigma, DFSS, Marketing for
Six Sigma (MFSS), and Technology for Six Sigma (TFSS). An expanded,
start-to-finish case study demonstrates how QFD should function
from all angles, from design and marketing to technology and
service.
