Linking Customer Needs to Product Requirements and Robust Design
podcast episode with speaker Rob Allen
Reliability engineers should have a clear understanding of how customer needs link to product requirements. Product requirements that have the most impact on customer needs should be considered in your design failure modes and effects analysis (DFMEA). This webinar will review the quality function deployment methodology (QFD), which identifies critical-to-quality (CTQ) requirements and supports requirements validation. We will also cover how the relative importance of CTQs can be used to determine DFMEA severity criteria.
This Accendo Reliability webinar was originally broadcast on 8 April 2025.
