A New Product Design for Fire Extinguishing Equipment Based on Quality Function Deployment

Article Preview

Abstract:

To design a new product for fire extinguishing equipment, knowledge about customer requirements for selecting suitable characteristics is required. And Quality Function Deployment (QFD) is proposed as an effective design method to addresses the translation of customer requirements into product functional characteristics. So this paper describes an extension of QFD method aimed at representing customer needs, technological requirements, environmental impacts and their relationships with the product functionality during the conceptual design phase. At last this method could help designers to design a new conceptual product for fire extinguishing equipment.
