Applying quality function deployment in the development of a finger based hand exerciser for computer application / Muhamad Zaid Jamal
Conventional product conceptual design is an abstract and creative process but Quality Function Deployment (QFD) is the means for a systematic approach.

Conventional product conceptual design is an abstract and creative process but Quality Function Deployment (QFD) is the means for a systematic approach. QFD makes developments be based on customers and the QFD process assures their satisfaction throughout. On a first objective of this research QFD is adopted as a strategy to develop a new hand exerciser of the interactive kind and for the purpose to be able to further contribute in its process domain. QFD helped to acquire knowledge about the product being developed and manage the product development process which in turn product uncertainty and a chaotic product development process is expected or without best practices. Additionally to QFD as known popularly, a process framework is adopted called the Blitz QFD which refines data collection and analysis processes. For a second objective of the research, the interactive hand exerciser is proved technical viable after all request or new knowledge about it is retrieved during objective one. Based on those, this research produced a prototype and have detailed on development tools and solutions. Prototype designs can become stepping stones for better ones in the future for any product developer.
