QFDcapture Professional Edition
The QFD Decision Modeler
QFDcapture Professional Edition is
an indispensable tool for any planning process, from basic
to complex. The software has a decision model focus (the Roadmap), rather than a
single House of Quality (HoQ) focus. Having a decision model focus means you can
set up and interlink a collection of lists, matrices, and documents to construct
a decision making model for your project. This decision making model can be high level (a single HoQ)
or detailed (many HoQs cascaded from one to another) or something in-between.
A QFDcapture model enables you to collect, analyze and manage qualitative data to
give you an accurate definition of your competition space, your customer expectations
and the needs of your business.
The model will also:
- Help you develop a prioritized list of what customers expect to see in your products, services or strategies
- Help you translate customer expectations into specifications your designers can understand and act on
- Help you develop an ordered list of what steps your company must take to satisfy customer requirements
- Help you plan products, services or strategies with fewer mid-point corrections
