UNRIVALED Power

Simply the Best QFD Software

Create unlimited matrix layouts with custom calculations

Over 20 Templates included.  Or, build new reusable templates - great for standardization

Work right on charts!  No lists required.  Great in team meetings

Import custom drawings (.bmp), great for visualizing concepts

Project View displays the multiple charts that comprise the project with chart linkages clearly visible

Sort requirements by any numeric room

Now, you can truly "deploy" quality functions using Phase Progression.  It automatically transfers columns to rows on downstream charts (with linkages)!  Watch changes "ripple through"

High Priorities Report pinpoints the issues with the biggest impact

Benchmark Analysis automatically finds opportunities for improvement; inconsistencies between external (customer) and internal (company) performance ratings.

Drag & Drop to establish hierarchies of requirements

Create a Design Knowledgebase

Keep a record of the Voice of the Customer

Keep a record of critical design requirements (CTQs) and their relationships to the customer's needs

Record competitive benchmarking data

Record target values in your design

Make the VOC Actionable

1.   Gather the VOC manually or with IDEACore’s online WebMine surveyor

2.   Enter it into QFD Designer

3.  Brainstorm Success Factors then rank them against the VOC

4.   Review the highest impacting priorities

5.  Draft targetted/focused action plans

Simplify team collaboration

Team members working together to complete project matrices gain greater understanding of project goals and assignments.

Want to view only a subset of the QFD data?  It's simple...just Extract a subset chart.  It can be comprised of any combination of chart regions.  View a scaled down look at the problem, a great way to divide tasks.

Link supporting data

Add Video and Audio clips for greater understanding...document focus groups or product clinics

Applinks allow launch of any supporting software from within charts (e.g. Excel, CAD/CAM, Minitab, Word etc.).  Great for briefings

Add internet/intranet hyperlinks anywhere

Prioritize with a click

The list of priorities in the color Pareto/Bar Chart  updates with a click, whenever you enter a relation symbol or modify an importance value.

A powerful design framework

All charts in your project are kept together in one place.
