Integration Of Quality Function Deployment (QFD) And Value Engineering In Improving The Quality Of Product : A Literature Review

Abstract

Product development using the QFD method is often applied in the industry to meet customer satisfaction by improving quality. Quality improvement is an important factor for a company to be able to maintain its existence in the industrial world. Value engineering is used to provide improvements to the materials used to reduce production costs. This paper discusses the Integration of QFD with Value Engineering in the product planning process. QFD improves service/product performance based on customer requirements, whereas Value Engineering changes the cost of a service with product regardless of mode of work and quality. The combination of QFD and Value Engineering methods focuses on costs and improving services and products. This paper describes the integration of the two methods given the implementation simulation implementation. The methodology is used to collect, analyze, and display data used for the design process. This paper summarizes the experience gained during implementing QFD and Value Engineering for component redesign improvements. Research shows that this method is used to keep the team focused in carrying out the design.
