Market research studies and reports simply do not provide sufficient guidance. Today's Six Sigma practitioners need a comprehensive approach to designing and building customer value-based products." "Voice of the Customer Capture and Analysis now gives you the ability to create and deploy surveys capture real voice of the costumer in the field, immediately analyze the results, and coordinate and drive responsive actions." "This powerful product development tool demonstrates how to utilize the statistical methods of Design for Six Sigma to identify key customer needs ... assess the cost of poor quality ... design robust products to meet those needs ... optimize product life cycles ... and accurately validate their findings."--Jacket.
