Muhtasari	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.	Quality Function Deployment (QFD) is a structured method for translating customer needs — the voice of the customer — into specific technical requirements at every stage of product or service development. Originating in Japan in the 1960s, QFD uses a matrix-based tool called the House of Quality to make customer priorities visible, link them to engineering parameters, expose trade-offs, and maintain focus on what customers actually value throughout the design process.
