Abstract:
To provide maintenance engineering community with a model named “Maintenance
quality function deployment” (MQFD) for nourishing the synergy of quality function deployment
(QFD) and total productive maintenance (TPM) and enhancing maintenance quality of products and
equipment.The principles of QFD and TPM were studied. MQFD model
was designed by coupling these two principles. The practical implementation feasibility of MQFD
model was checked in an automobile service station.Both QFD and TPM are popular approaches and several benefits of implementing them
have been reported worldwide. Yet the world has not nourished the synergic power of integrating
them. The MQFD implementation study reported in this paper has revealed its practical validity
