A New Approach for the Transition between QFD Phases

Companies nowadays know that focusing only on making profit will never lead them to sustain their own growth, where a sustainable growth can never be achieved without focusing on developing a more proper and sustainable manufacturing capabilities to their products. Reaching this goal depend heavily on the decisions made early in product life cycle, which is the design phase. Selecting a proper product design process is always the first step for companies’ success. The Quality functional deployment (QFD) is one of these successful methods used in the product design process; most of that success is gained throughout the use of the House of Quality (HOC), which translates the costumer's requirements into design specifications. Since his inception in Japan in the late 60th, many contributions and enhancements were induced to develop its capabilities. In This work, we introduce a new approach based on Morphological Analyses and Graph Theory, to develop a new systematic way for the transition between QFD phases. This approach was simulated using Python programming language and his graphical user interface Tkinter.
