quality function deployment? I believe it should be quality function development instaid.--[[User:Soyweiser|Soyweiser]] 21:37, 1 November 2005 (UTC)
Reply: The translation from Japanese could be translated different ways, but generally speaking the idea is often mistakenly used to associate QFD to the organizational functions known as "Quality Engineering" or "Quality Assurance". Make no mistake, the Japanese are not talking about this narrow function when they talk about QFD. QFD is a method to transform customer needs into something that engineers can build. The translation is closer to what we would call "Systems Engineering" in the U.S. and U.K. The word "quality" is here defined by the customers to define something that is needed or wanted, i.e., are willing to pay for.
