Customer Satisfaction
(
Every organization has both internal and external customers. –An external customer is the one referred to
in the traditional definition. –An internal customer is any employee
whose work depends on that of employees whose work precedes his or hers.
January 2012
Quality Management 63
• In a total quality setting, customers define quality. Therefore, customer satisfaction must be the highest priority.
• Customer satisfaction is achieved by producing high-quality products that meet or exceed expectations.
=>It must be renewed with each purchase.
Customer Satisfaction
January 2012
Quality Management 64
• The key to establishing a customer focus is to put employees in touch with customers so that customer needs are known and understood.
• Once the customer needs and expectations are defined they need to be translated into product specification.
• One of the tools to do so is Quality Function Deployment (QFD)
Customer Satisfaction
January 2012
Quality Management 65
Quality Function Deployment (QFD)
• Quality Function Deployment (QFD) is a structured approach to defining customer needs or requirements and translating them into specific plans to produce products to meet those requirements.
• The "voice of the customer" is the term to describe these stated and unstated customer needs or requirements.
• The voice of the customer is captured in a variety of ways: direct discussion, surveys, customer specifications, observation, warranty data, field reports, etc.
January 2012
Quality Management 66
Quality Function Deployment (QFD)
• This understanding of the customer requirements is then summarized in a product planning matrix or "house of quality".
• These matrices are used to translate higher level "what's" or requirements into lower level "how's" or means to satisfy the requirements
January 2012
Quality Management 71
QFD
• Six matrices to compare:– Customer requirements with related technical
features– Technical features with applied technologies– Applied technologies with manufacturing processes– Manufacturing processes with quality control
processes (to optimize processes)– Quality control processes with statistical process
control processes– Statistical control parameters with specifications

Kano model
• The Kano model is a theory of product development and customer satisfaction developed in the 80s by Professor Noriaki Kano which classifies customer preferences into following categories:
– Must-Be– One-Dimensional– Attractive
January 2012
Quality Management 74
Kano model• Must-be Quality
These attributes are taken for granted when fulfilled but result in dissatisfaction when not fulfilled.
• One-dimensional Quality These attributes result in satisfaction when fulfilled and dissatisfaction when not fulfilled. These are attributes that are spoken of and ones which companies compete for.
• Attractive Quality These attributes provide satisfaction when achieved fully, but do not cause dissatisfaction when not fulfilled. These are attributes that are not normally expected,.

Commitment of Top Management
Our feedbacks have made clear that the most influential factor in successful quality leadership has been the active participation of upper management. In fact to our knowledge, every successful quality revolution has included the active participation of upper management. We know of no exceptions.
J.M.Juran

Quality Management 85
Commitment of Top Management
It is not enough that top management commit themselves for life to product quality and productivity. They must know what it is they are committed to – i.e. what they must do. These obligations cannot be delegated. More resolutions or approval are not enough.
