Abstract

Product development (PD) process changes with the changing market trend. Modular design plays a vital role for the product development process. In this research, design structure matrix (DSM) approach was used to group different modular parts together to obtain preeminent assembly process. It also applied quality function deployment (QFD) to compare the best product in the market. QFD itself was considered from the customer end. This research proposed the use of DSM to find the result of coupled task. Component based DSM was used to describe the interaction between the parts. Loop analysis was utilized to decrease the number of module group. This research used Electric coffee maker as a case study for implementation of DSM and QFD.
