- it is not clearly stated what category this article falls into
Abstract
- Abstract, i am unsure how the QFD can benefit prioritizing projects because people tend to value their own projects better.. The one that makes the portfolio decisions is properbly not the one that work on the projects ?
- Maybe state it a little more clearly what benefits can be achieved by using the QFD method.. I would like to get more excited about the article that i am about the read
Background
- QFD is the most complete and conviencing system.... I disagree! maybe you could formulate this as. According to (this person, reference) QFD is..
- As QFD focuses on satisfying customers..... Yes it does but it also helps the design team to see interdependices between customer needs and engineering specifications. Maybe elaborate a little on this?
- Sounds very beneficial for a company to implement QFD, is QFD only the tool illustrated on the figure? QFD is also a ery good tool for making discussion.
- it is essential that QFD is implemented in the initial stages of product or service development..... Maybe you could add something about stage-gate models, and then point out where in the process it should be implemented. It looks to me like it should be implemented in stage 1 or 2.
Other applications
- Do not use the word etc. the reader do not know that this is about.
- I was hoping more that this section would touch on how QFD can be used in other processes than product development. You mention this a little, but i think you could go more in depth. This section seems a little thin.
Application in Portfolio Management
- You mention that the challenges with prioritizing is because of the influence of different stakeholders. I think that there is also many other challenges that you could mention. Not having valid data, the economy of the company, competences etc etc.
