Tiivistelmä	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.	Robust Quality Function Deployment (Robust QFD) extends the classical House of Quality framework by explicitly modeling uncertainty and variability in customer requirements, perception ratings, and engineering correlation judgments. Instead of treating inputs as crisp single-point values, it applies fuzzy sets, interval analysis, or Taguchi-inspired robustness techniques to ensure that the resulting design targets remain stable and customer-satisfying even when inputs are imprecise or fluctuating.
