AW: Quality Function Deployment and Curriculum Development

  • 1.  AW: Quality Function Deployment and Curriculum Development

    Posted 06-25-1999 15:11
    The QFD institute Germany accomplished different research studies about
    success of QFD.

    In a case study we measured the success of a pilot project with the SAP AG.
    The results were presented on the QFD symposium in Novi (Determining the
    Success of a QFD-Project. Proceedings of the Eigth Synmposium on quality
    Function Deployment, June 9-11, 1996, Novi, Michigan, the USA, pp. 131-150).

    Another contribution can likewise used. This paper describes the results of
    a multi firm bench-marking study. Comparing 16 successful and unsuccessful
    projects, conclusions can drawn about the relevantly success factors of QFD
    projects. The paper can also used for case studies on the success and
    failure of QFD. (Success Factors of QFD Projects. Proceedings of 4th
    International Symposium on Quality Function Deployment, August 3-5, 1998,
    Sydney, Australia, pp. 27-41)

    All contributions can be loaded free of charge from the WWW side

    For more informations take a look at the web-pages of our institute.
    Please note, that we are a GERMAN institute. Therefore all web pages and
    membership informations are available in German ONLY. However, many web
    sides are understandable even if you do not speak German (for example the
    described papers are writtern in English).

    Are you aware of anyone using Quality Function Deployment (i.e. "House of
    Quality") as a tool for curriculum development?

    If so, references or contact information would be greatly appreciated!

    Thanks,
