"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]
