Optimization-assisted quality function deployment
Optimization-assisted QFD extends the classic House of Quality framework by embedding mathematical optimization — linear programming, multi-objective optimization, or metaheuristics — directly into the QFD process. This allows engineers to simultaneously maximize customer satisfaction and minimize cost or resource constraints when setting target values for engineering characteristics, going beyond the largely subjective priority rankings of traditional QFD.
