"The technical competitive assessment makes up a block of rows corresponding to each technical descriptor in the house of quality beneath the relationship matrix. After respective technical factors have been established, the products are evaluated for each technical factor that addresses VOC.
Similar to the customer competitive assessment, the data recorded are in a scale of 1 through 5, to indicate a rating, 1 for worst and 5 for best. The technical competitive assessment is often useful in uncovering gaps in engineering judgment.
Importance ratings represent the relative importance of customer requirement in terms of each other.
The target-value of column can be on the same scale as the customer competitive assessment (1 for worst, 5 for best can be used). This column is where the QFD team decides whether they want to keep their product unchanged, improve the product, or make the product better than the competitor.
The prioritized technical descriptors make up a block of rows corresponding to the technical descriptor in the house of quality below the technical competitive assessment as shown in Figure 3-7. These prioritized technical descriptors contain target value and absolute weights." [nptel.ac.in/ courses/ 110101010/ modules/ module3/ lec1/ 1.9.html]
The HOQ example "House of Quality - prioritized technical descriptors" was designed using ConceptDraw PRO software extended with House of Quality solution from Quality area of ConceptDraw PRO Solution Park.

"After drafting the relationship matrix, it is evaluated for any empty row or column. An empty row indicates that a customer voice is not being addressed by any technical descriptors. Thus, the customer expectation is not being met. Any blank column indicates that the technical requirement is unnecessary, as it does not address any VOC.
The roof of the house of quality, expressed as correlation matrix, is used to identify any interrelationships between the technical descriptors (Figure 3-5). Symbols are used to describe the strength of the interrelationships. Symbols generally preferred are:
- A ‘solid circle’ represents a strong positive relationship.
- A ‘circle’ represents a positive relationship.
- An ‘X’ represents a negative relationship.
- An ‘asterisk’ represents a strong negative relationship." [nptel.ac.in/ courses/ 110101010/ modules/ module3/ lec1/ 1.7.html]

"Building a House of Quality
Quality function deployment starts with a list of goals/ objectives. This list is often referred as the WHATs that a customer needs or expects in a particular product. This list of primary customer requirements is usually vague and very general in nature. Further definition is accomplished by defining a new, more detailed list of secondary customer requirements needed to support the primary customer requirements. In other words, a primary customer requirement may encompass numerous secondary customer requirements.
Let us consider the development process of designing a handlebar stem for a bicycle.
Let us assume that there are two primary customer requirements, viz. aesthetics and performance. The secondary customer requirements under aesthetics are affordable cost, aerodynamic look, proper finish, and corrosion resistance. The secondary customer requirements under performance are light weight, strength, and durability. This is illustrated in the QFD or House of Quality diagram (Figure 3-2)."

Building Drawing Software for Design Seating Plan

A Seating Plan is a scheme that illustrates the arrangement of seats on the plan of specific place. The seats can be located separately or grouped in rows like in stadiums. Usually they are numerated allowing spectators to choose them beforehand and have a guaranteed seat. It is especially useful for cinemas and theaters, where the places differ according to their price range. When all seatings are equal, it is used the open seating scheme and each client can choose any free seat. Each of these seating systems has many own advantages, it is also possible to mix them. Seating Plans, Schemes and Drawings are popular and widely used for purchase and sale the entering tickets to theatres, cinemas, stadiums, trains, airplanes, etc. They are also useful for beforehand planning and assignment the seats on weddings, banquets, and other events.

Network Topologies

Network topology is a topological structure of computer network, which can be physical or logical. The physical topology depicts location of different computer network elements such as computers, cables and other devices. The logical topology visually displays network dataflows from one device to another. Sometimes network logical and physical topologies can be the same. ConceptDraw DIAGRAM diagramming and vector drawing software is powerful for drawing network maps and network topologies diagrams of any kinds and complexity thanks to the Computer Network Diagrams solution from the Computer and Networks area. ConceptDraw STORE proposes collection of network icons libraries and a lot of Network Topology Diagram examples, samples and templates which were created at ConceptDraw DIAGRAM software specially for Computer Network Diagrams solution. There are six basic types of the network topologies: Bus, Star, Ring, Mesh, Tree, Fully Connected. You can fast and easy design professional-looking diagram for each of them using the ConceptDraw DIAGRAM tools. There are plenty of web Visio-like diagramming software available. Web based diagrams software can be powerful, but sometimes it is essential to have desktop software. One of the most advanced diagrams tools like Visio for Mac OS is ConceptDraw DIAGRAM app.

Quality Control

Quality control can separate the act of testing different products for uncovering the defects from the decision in order to deny or allow any product release, which may be determined by different fiscal constraints. Quality control issues are known to be among the top reasons for not renewing the contracts and, thus, they have to be taken into consideration while working on some project.

The Action Plan

Action Plan - For the action planning define people and groups involvement in corrective actions by roles, identify logical sequences of scheduled actions and critical path of problem solving, identify possible risks of action plan and propose preventive actions. ConceptDraw Office suite is a software for decision making and action plan.

HOQ

Modular function deployment, same as the decision-matrix method, can be used within the quality function deployment activity, but one of the most popular methods nowadays is the so-called “House of Quality” (HOQ).

Total Quality Management

Apart from a well-known quality management, there is also such term as a Total quality management that consists of some particular organization-wide efforts that are taken in order to install and to make permanent some definite climate in which an organization can continuously improve its ability to deliver only high-quality products/services to its customers.

Total quality management techniques are known to be drawing on the previously developed ones used within the quality control. Total quality management enjoyed widespread attention during the early 1990s before being overshadowed by Lean manufacturing, ISO 9000 and Six Sigma.
