Cultural influences on globalized QFD projects
Abstract
The dissemination and embodiment of QFD
has been globally diverse since the innovation of QFD. National as well
as international approaches to QFD have been developed differently and
are various. The authors argue that culture is one reason for the
existing approaches. Hofstede’s Five Dimensions get cited to
derive a cultural QFD-project management framework with the aim of
optimizing the efficiency of QFD usage. Validated upon two examples of
QFD-projects and a comparative analysis of further QFD-projects from
industrial practice, the authors position success and failure factors
for QFD-projects in an international environment.
