Abstract

Many manufacturers today are striving to offer high value-added product-related services (PRS) due to increasing competition and environmental pressure. PRS can reduce the negative impact on the environment, because it extends the life of products and minimizes the cost. Product and service planning has been considered as the critical factor to the success of PRS. Quality function deployment (QFD) has been recognized as an efficient planning tool which can convert customer needs (CNs) into design attributes of PRS involving product attributes (PAs) and service attributes (SAs). However, the subjective and vague information in the design of PRS with QFD may lead to inaccurate priority of PAs and SAs. To solve this problem, a novel rough VIKOR- (VIseKriterijumska Optimizaciji I Kompromisno Resenje-) based QFD is proposed. The proposed approach integrates the strength of rough number (RN) in manipulating vague concepts with less a priori information and the merit of VIKOR in structuring framework of compromise decision-making. Finally, an application in compressor-based service design is presented to illustrate the potential of the proposed method.
