Muhtasari	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.	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.
