Abstract

The construction of new buildings represents a significant investment. The goal of new building construction is to maximize value and minimize cost while staying on time and within budget. Translating customer requirements into engineering terms for new construction design is vital for a construction project to be successful. Quality function deployment has been successfully used in product development to capture the voice of the customer and translate it into engineering characteristics. Quality function deployment then carries these parameters into production and service to ensure the voice of the customer is being met with the final product. The house of quality, a tool within quality function deployment, can provide a means for comparison of owner’s project requirements and the proposed design, along with identifying how the design decisions impact meeting customer requirements and green building requirements. Quality function deployment can effectively link the project phases through design and construction and into operations and maintenance to ensure the owner’s project requirements are met with the final building. This research identifies and categorizes studies of quality function deployment applications in construction. The research method used is a systematic literature review from databases related to quality function deployment in the construction industry published in the periodicals through 2016. The principal findings of implementations, practices, and integrated approaches are then summarized. This article intends to propel further research of quality function deployment in the construction sector.

Step Description
1 Determine what the customer wants. These are known as the “whats”
2 Conduct a competitive assessment to determine how well the organization meets the customer requirements compared to the competition
3 Determine the key focus for designing the product or service based on the competitive assessment
4 Develop methods to measure or control the product, process, or design to ensure customer requirements are consistently met. These are known as the “hows”
5 Evaluate the proposed design requirements (hows) against the customer requirements (whats). This is performed in the relationship matrix
6 Evaluate the design tradeoffs. This is performed in correlations matrix or “roof” of the house of quality
7 Determine the key design requirements that should be focuses on. This is in the “basement” of the house of quality and is commonly referred to as the “how much”

Phase Phase description Phase steps Output
1. Planning The research aim, objectives, and scope are outlined based on the research topic, time, cost, and quality 1) Determine the systematic review objectives and scope;
2) Screen key articles based on scope
Review protocol
2. Sampling The literature is searched using the review protocol to provide a transparent repeatable search 1) Search the articles;
2) Select the articles
Selected relevant articles
3. Analyzing Data and evidence are pulled from the selected sources and categorized to produce explanations or theories for the various findings 1) Data extraction
2) Data coding
Descriptive analysis and future research agenda
4. Reporting The systematic review report documents the review process which enables repeatability of the review 1) Write the report detailing the review process, results, analysis, and gaps;
2) Document evidence into practice.
