Quality Function Deployment (QFD) is a widely used application utilized in many fields such as product design, manufacturing process design, and project development. It can convert customer requirements into a firm’s engineering characteristics which results to achievements showing great success and House of Quality (HOQ) is the manipulation tool for QFD. Meanwhile, we can prioritize the engineering characteristics in HOQ and then sequentially implement them to meet customer requirements. However, the consideration of correlation among engineering characteristics is often ignored in most of QFD application related researches. This usually affects the implementation sequence of the project tasks and results to delay or queuing in product design/project development. This paper presents a methodology based on Design Structure Matrix (DSM) and the absolute importance of engineering characteristics in HOQ which deals with the weakness mentioned. An example is illustrated to evidence the proposed methodology.
