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. QFD makes developments be based on customers and the QFD process assures their satisfaction throughout. On a first objective of this research QFD i...
