1 Enhancement of Customer Satisfaction by QFD in Bus Service K Ch A Rao 1 & Girish Thakar 2 1 MIT, Indore, 2 Dept of IPE, SGSITS, Indore kchapparao@gmailcom 1, thakargirish@yahoocom 2 Abstract Quality must be designed in to the product, not inspected into it In order to build a quality product, customers have to be considered and incorporated in to the product Quality Function Deployment (QFD) is a tool for bringing the voice of the customer into the product development process from conceptual design through to manufacturing It begins with a matrix that links customer (CRs)to technical (TRs),along with competitive benchmarking information, and further matrices can be used to ultimately link this to design of manufacturing system Public transport system plays an important role in any city as thousands of people depend on it for their transportation in the city Over the past few decades, cities have been growing at a tremendous pace in every aspect, including the public transport services This paper is restricted to the discussion of how to gain the passenger satisfaction of the most popular type of public transport system namely the metropolitan bus service through QFD In this paper a case study is presented to illustrate the author s comprehensive approach to QFD Customer have been incorporated in to the Service by preparing deployment matrices for voice of customer, functions and tasks in progressive manner Finally it would be concluded that due importance is to be given for the aspects that are having high relative weights and low importance is to be given for the parameters that are having low relative weights Keywords Quality function deployment, Voice of customer Design I INTRODUCTION QFD is a method by which customer or Voice of Customer -VOC (what s) are translated into Design (how s) These design (how s) are then translated into product or part characteristics, which are then in-turn translated into process plans [2] These plans are then translated into specific operations, conditions It is a technique oriented approach using surveys, reviews, analysis, relationship matrices and robust designs all centered on the theme of translating the Voice of the Customers (these are expressed in their own language without any implications of technologies)qfd is a method that utilizes a progression of matrices to link operational processes and decisions to customer needs as depicted in Figure1 Each phase have horizontal rows of Whats and a vertical column of Hows Whats are customer and Hows are ways of achieving these The Hows carried over from the first phase become the Whats for the second phase and Hows in second phase become Whats in third phase and so on [4] II METHODOLOGY QFD methodology was born out of Total Quality Control (TQC) activities in Japan during the 1960sDevelopment was motivated by two issues 1) How to design a new product that meets the customer needs 2) The desire provide QC process charts (control plans) to manufacturing before initial production The QFD methodology provides a structured framework for concurrent engineering that propagates the voice of the customers through all phases of product development QFD utilizes a progression of matrices to link operational processes and decisions to customer needs as depicted in Figure1 21 VOICE OF CUSTOMER DEPLOYMENT (phase-1) (often referred to as the House of Quality): In this phase Qualitative customer are translated into design independent, measurable, quality characteristics of the product 1

3 International Journal on Advanced Computer Theory and Engineering (IJACTE) specifications with process target values and specifications The result of Phase 3 is a prioritization of manufacturing processes and specifications for key process parameters that are deployed to the fourth phase 24 TASK DEPLOYMENT(Phase-4): In this, the key manufacturing processes and associated parameters are translated into work instructions, control and reaction plans, and training necessary to ensure that the quality of key parts and processes is maintained Ideally, these four phases combined provide a traceable link from the shop floor back to customer that provides workers insight into how their job function impacts customer satisfaction III CASE STUDY Early adopters of QFD were concentrated in the automobile component suppliers, but soon spread to component suppliers in other areas, especially, in services In recent years, the more QFD-proficient of these companies have upgraded to Comprehensive QFD, which includes several tools to better analyze the Voice of the Customer, and more concise deployment matrices that address specific design such as performance, function, technology, capability, as well as the components, manufacturing, and production phases 31 VOICE OF CUSTOMER DEPLOYMENT (FIRST STAGE DEPLOYMENT): Brainstorming was being carried out with a team of three members and the summery of the data collected related to Voice of Customer, overall importance rating and current performance of the Product with respect to the concerned requirement, is enlisted in table 1 Table: 1 Customer & importance ratings SNo Customer Current performa nce rating Target value 1 Economic charges Punctuality of scheduling Maintenance of bus neat ness Reserved seats for ladies& PH Waiting time for arrival& departure Display of route schedules in-side the 2 7 bus 7 Concession passes for daily passengers Insurance benefits in any accidental cases number of buses in demanding routes Display of arrival & departure timings at bus stops no of bus stops as per the Establishment of no of pass issue counters Maximum no of routes coverage Availability of no of buses at peaktimings Table After developing a flowchart of activities the operational activities were identified as most important in realizing customer desires and deployment matrix for VOC was being prepared by performing the following calculations as shown in figure 1 Scale up factor = Target Value/ Current Performance of the service Absolute Value of Importance Rating = Importance rating X Scale up factor Absolute Weight =Σ ( Relationship Values X corresponding importance ratings) Relative Weight = Σ ( Relationship Values X Abs value of importance ratings) 311 Results and Discussion of Deployment Of VOC : 1) The fig1 depicts the various technical descriptors and their corresponding relative weights which were obtained from deployment of VOC, 2) The aspect of Time scheduling activities has maximum relative weight and Ladies & PH seating activities has minimum relative weight among all technical descriptors 3) Due importance is to be given in next stage of QFD process for the parameters that are having high relative weights like Time scheduling activities, No of buses in demanding routes, No of buses at demanding Peak- timings etc 3
