Abstract

Abstract This paper describes an Axiomatic Design process enhanced by the House of Quality that combines the advantages of these two methods: 1) the House of Quality is used to translate customer needs into engineering specifications; 2) decomposition by theme is used to determine the Basic Functional Requirements; 3) engineering specifications are categorized into strategies, constraints, Quality Functional Requirements and possible Basic Functional Requirements; 4) Quality Functional Requirements are assigned to different Basic Functional Requirements; 5) Basic Design Matrix, Single Quality Design Matrix and Cross Quality Design Matrix are generated to study and evaluate design concepts from different aspects. By using this approach, it is possible that an improved understanding and higher efficiency of the design process may be achieved.
