VOC Issues for High Impact Projects

Following the catastrophic aftermath of the 2011 Japan earthquake that led to the nuclear power explosions, we discuss what lessons we the QFD and Quality community could learn. Notably, how to handle the voice of customer of all stakeholders in preparation for high impact projects.

Customer satisfaction at lower cost

According to Glenn Mazur, “.. in tough economic times, Blitz QFD® can help assure that the feature and technology costs of the product are things that satisfy the customer. The customer will not pay $100 to solve a $10 problem, but they might pay $99 to solve a $100 problem. Until we know the priority of the need based on the magnitude of the customer's problem, we cannot know what features to offer or delete.”
