E-Learning for QFD

Short Track with Poster: F2

Abstract:
E-Learning is a significant topic in learning foreign languages and taking various qualifications. The authors have been studying an E-Learning system as a link of the chain of e-TQM research group activities. The research group is financially supported by the "JSA (Japanese Standards Association)". The authors will report a prototype system for beginners to learn QFD.
There are two major problems to be solved. One is how to make an electronic textbook. The XML will be available to describe the contents of QFD. For this purpose, standardizing QFD and its relevant methods is necessary. The other is how to use QFD supporting tool. After learning the knowledge of QFD, learners are expected to apply QFD to various problems. This means that the system should provide a QFD supporting tool. Existing e-Learning systems do not provide tools for utilizing knowledges. The prototype system is designed for learners to make QFD into practice.
