Abstract: Quality function deployment (QFD) is a customer focused product development process through which the quality of the product can be enormously improved. Companies in practice of utilising QFD are incessantly seeking for efficient QFD software that could facilitate designers and engineers to evaluate company's decision-making process. Development of QFD software can be accomplished through the use of a suitable programming language. The attempt is to explore the various available programming languages, analyse them and pick a suitable one for the QFD software automation. Along with an insight into traditional QFD, this paper also explores QFD from the software automation perspective. It then, provides overview of the available programming tools and comparative analysis of the same for the QFD software automation. Finally, this paper makes an attempt to justify how the chosen tool will be effective in carrying-out the task and concludes with a real life example to automate a section of QFD.
