Abstract :
Quality function deployment (QFD) has been used as a tool to aid in the design, development, and subsequent commercial manufacture of a lithium/thionyl chloride D cell for use in weapons applications. QFD is a structured methodology that helps assure that customer needs and expectations will be satisfied throughout the product life cycle. The authors describe the application of QFD, some of the lessons learned, and what they expect to be the final product of this QFD exercise
