The weighted matrix, Pugh Matrix and QFD method for decision making in product development","description":"\u003cp\u003eSeminar paper from the year 2016 in the subject Engineering - General, grade: 1,3, Linnaeus University (School of Engineering and Business), course: Methods at Work, language: English, abstract: Only suitable methods can help to move forward in the process of product development. Therefore it is important to choose a method that fits the product, current stage of development process and the team.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe project is currently in the evaluation phase in accordance to the value methodology. One of the major purposes of this stage is to come up with a short list of projects with the highest potential. Hence, a selection process needs to be executed to produce a focused concept. The focus concept will then be used in the next stages to be developed further. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe weighted matrix is a method that is used at an early stage in product development process to select a concept that looks the most promising. This method helps to increase customer value and at the same time make a selection that is objective. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTherefore the weighted matrix was chosen in this project to help make a selection among the choice of concepts. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOften it is difficult to come to a consensus among group members as everyone is biased by their profession. Everyone has a subjective way of ranking the concepts according to their experiences and knowledge. Such a ranking can lead to dissatisfaction and conflicts in the team as well as choosing a concept that has not the most potential from a customer perspective. The weighted matrix makes the decision process on the one hand a group experience where everyone is involved and gets the acknowledgement of their knowledge and on the other hand more objective.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"aw-variant-hidden-subtitle-div\" id=\"aw-variant-subtitle-9783668152106\"\u003e\u003ch3\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Libri","offers":[{"title":"Softcover - 9783668152106","offer_id":39442151374941,"sku":"9783668152106","price":15.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0940\/0622\/files\/2819c3db-675b-4055-ae9a-0fc2fc898f93.jpg?v=1781671495","url":"https:\/\/shop.autorenwelt.de\/en\/products\/methods-at-work-in-engineering-the-weighted-matrix-pugh-matrix-and-qfd-method-for-decision-making-in-product-development-von-anna-lena-bischoff","provider":"Autorenwelt Shop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
