lQFD has background in Japanese design science.
Concerned with the translation of customer requirements into engineering characteristics.
1.Identify customer requirements in terms of product attributes,
2.Determine the relative importance of attributes,
3.Evaluate the attributes of competing products,
4.Draw a matrix of product attributes against engineering characteristics,
5.Identify the relationship between engineering characteristics and product attributes,
6.Identify relevant interactions between engineering characteristics,
7.Set target figures to be achieved for the engineering characteristics.
