Simulation-assisted quality function deployment
Simulation-assisted quality function deployment (SA-QFD) integrates computational simulation into the classic QFD framework to replace or supplement costly physical prototypes when evaluating how engineering design decisions satisfy customer requirements. By embedding simulation models — such as finite element analysis, discrete-event simulation, or system dynamics — within the House of Quality matrix, engineers can rapidly quantify the impact of technical characteristics on customer satisfaction and iteratively refine design priorities before committing to production.
