Increased over time are the market size of coffee shops and customer demands for coffee. This paper aims to provide solutions for quality improvement in products and services of coffee shops through a case study. SERVQUAL is adopted and modified for the given problem to identify customer requirements for services of coffee shops. Quality Function Deployment (QFD) is introduced as an effort to reflect customer requirements in engineering characteristics for products and services. This paper compares the market competitiveness of three coffee shops in a case study. This study also draws solutions for quality improvement in engineering characteristics for products and services by using QFD.

Purpose: This study was to identify customers' demands in railway services system and then to seek the way to satisfy the customer expectations. Methods: We suggest a Quality Function Deployment(QFD)-based approach comprised of three stages. In first stage, SERVPERF survey was carried out to assess current positions of customer expectations in the market. Then, factor analysis was incorporated into SERVPERF to classify customer expectations for the house of quality. In the second stage, the analytic network process was used to prioritize the importance of the customer attributes. Finally, QFD was performed utilizing customer attributes and their weights. Results: The QFD identified the most important customer expectations as: accident prevention, swift reaction to accident, on-time arrivals and departures of the train. It also shows that driving capability, equipment for safety, and training for disaster are the most critical technical requirements. Conclusion: The results are useful for identifying the customers' demands in railway services systems, and they can contribute to the service quality and customer satisfaction.

QFD(Quality Function Deployment) is a system for translating specific customer needs into detailed product requirements which are deployed throughout design, production, marketing and support operations. QFD is a team tool. However, most of commercial QFD softwares are standalone and therefore offer limited support for teamwork. In this paper, we developed a web-based QFD software to overcome many of the limitations that standalone systems suffer from. That is, this software was developed for synchronizing collaboration between team members distributed not only geographically but also over time. This software was developed by using Visual studio.NET and Microsoft COM+(CBD) technique and can be implemented on the web browser.

The performance measurement of construction projects has traditionally been evaluated as a prerequisite for successful project completion. Considering this importance, the UK and the US are operating quantitative performance measurement systems for construction projects. However, in the case of Korea, there is a limit to the use of existing methods due to the limitation of data collection. Recently, in consideration of the domestic situation, research is being conducted to measure the quantitative performance of a project by using big data including progress and project attribute information. Therefore, this study aims to present the design direction of a performance monitoring system using Quality Function Deployment.

Apart from the customer demands themselves, the weightings of the customer demands are one of the main input data of a QFD (Quality Function Deployment) and furthermore of the actual construction process of products. Up to now, most interviews with stakeholders have been carried out with questionnaires and then absolute weightings have been used. Now it has been analysed if the use of other interview and evaluation techniques, e.g. relative weightings and Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP), can improve the precision of the demands and wishes of the stakeholders. Now the task was to analyse if the use of relative weightings as input of a QFD is possible at all, how they have to be adapted and if an increase in precision compared to the use of absolute weightings is reached. When using AHP during the product development it has become clear that only up to seven demands can be rated at the same time by customers. That means that a kind of hierarchy has to be developed to correctly transfer the demands and their weightings into the QFD.

This study aims to apply QFD model to improve and evaluate library service quality using user needs priorities. The library of the D University is presented as a case study. QFD is a powerful quality management method in which customer needs are translated into appropriate technical requirements for each stage of product/service development. To apply QFD in the field of library services, first library user needs and their AHP, satisfaction and importance degrees were examined via focus group interview. Second, the service improvement engineering characteristics for satisfying the user needs and their relationship/correlations matrices were defined by interviewing library practitioners and experts. Finally, the data collected was entered using CUPID solution, and then HOQ to improve library service quality of the D University was constructed. This study focused on QFD method and its application as a tool for improving the quality of library service.

QFD (Quality Function Deployment) was defined by the American Supplier Institute in 1987 as a system for translating consumer requirements into appropriate company requirements at every stage, from research, through product design and development, to manufacture, distribution, installation, and marketing, sales and services. Although QFD has complex and tedious procedure to complete, it has now been in use in the world for at least 15 years because QFD enables us to catch a lot of fruitful information on the given system. The objective of this paper is to provide and analyze the trend on the choice of subject courses of university students using QFD. The data are collected by questionnaires. The samples for this study are randomly chosen from the universities in Seoul, Kangnung, and Samchok during 3 months (2000. 3∼2000.5). The results of this study will play an important role not only for service of students but also for opening of courses.

The primary goal of the requirement analysis phase during information system development is to identify and document what is really needed, in a form that clearly communicates to the user and to development team members. Presented in this paper is a QFD(Quality Function Deployment)-based requirement analysis method and procedure for developing a large-scale enterprise information system. For the purpose of elicitation of software functional requirements, this paper adopts the method of HOQ(House Of Quality) and proposes a simplified HOQ which is more suitable for the software requirement analysis. As a result of this paper, it suggests desired functionalities for an integrated design &manufacturing information system.

Logistics companies want to be competitive companies in fierce logistics market and are worrying about securing of differentiated competitiveness for it. The standards judging if logistics industry maintains the competitiveness are based on the satisfaction of users due to the well-established service system that can response not only economic feasibility of logistics costs such as transportation costs, storage costs, unloading charges, information costs, etc. but also diversity and upgradability of logistics needs. Therefore, this study focuses on seeking of service quality improvements with VBSD(Value Based Service Design) model focusing on customer value factors based on Kano model and QFD based service design approach from angles of customer value improvement and service costs reduction.
