OVERVIEW

FEATURES

  • Automatic calculation of absolute and relative technical weights and importance
  • Store competitive information (importance and technical targets)

BENEFITS

The Triptych QFD Worksheet can be used to translate customer needs (WHATS) into to marketing, engineering, or manufacturing requirements (HOWS) based on the strength of the inter-relationships between the Whats and Hows.
