CTQ/VOC Critical to Quality In the Voice of the Customer
The CTQ process helps us to put metrics to quality ¡ CTQ is a tool that helps us find a way to measure
process ¡ Defect ¡ Unit ¡ Opportunity
¡ This is not an easy thing to do
Start With The Customer
¡ Gather comments in the Voice of the Customer ¡ Customer Needs ¡ eSurveys ¡ Focus Groups ¡ Surveys ¡ emails ¡ Comment cards
¡ Translate them into issues and specifications
¡ CTQ (Critical To Quality) – a product or service characteristic that must be met to satisfy a customer specification or requirement.
Then we define our defects
¡ A defect is defined as any part of a product or service that: ¡ does not meet customer specifications or
requirements, or ¡ causes customer dissatisfaction, or ¡ does not fulfill the functional or physical
requirements.
We define our units
¡ A unit is something that can be quantified by a customer
We define our opportunities ¡ Opportunities are the total number of chances
per unit to have a defect ¡ Each opportunity must be ¡ independent of other opportunities ¡ measurable ¡ observable ¡ it directly relates to the customer CTQ
¡ The total count of opportunities indicates the complexity of a product or service
Let's look at some examples ¡ Our aims is a number ¡ A quantifiable measure of quality ¡ Usually errors per something ¡ Example: ¡ Survey completions/survey starts = measure of
usability ¡ Want to answer 85% of calls within 20 seconds
Call Center ¡ Customer Quote: 'I consistently wait too long to speak to a
representative.' ¡ CTQ Name: Representative Responsiveness ¡ CTQ Measure: Time on hold (seconds) ¡ CTQ Specification: Less than 60 seconds from call connection to
the automated response system ¡ Defect: Calls with hold time equal and greater than 60 seconds ¡ Unit: Call ¡ Opportunity: 1 per call ¡ Calculate Your Sigma
¡ Defects: 263 calls ¡ Units: 21,501 calls ¡ Opportunities: 1 per call ¡ Sigma: 3.75
Book Publisher ¡ Customer Quote: 'I can't stand typos in books I purchase.' ¡ CTQ Name: Typographic Quality ¡ CTQ Measure: Number of typographical mistakes ¡ CTQ Specification: Zero typographical mistakes ¡ Defect: Any typographical mistakes ¡ Unit: A word ¡ Opportunity: Words per book ¡ Calculate Your Sigma ¡ Defects: 2 typographical mistakes ¡ Units: 100,000 (500 words/page x 200 pages/book) ¡ Opportunities: 1 per word ¡ Sigma: 5.61
Printed Circuit Board Manufacturing ¡ Customer Quote: 'Boards must work when I plug them in.' ¡ CTQ Name: Board Functionality ¡ CTQ Measure: Non-functioning or improperly functioning
boards ¡ CTQ Specification: All boards function properly ¡ Defect: Any non-functioning or improperly functioning board ¡ Unit: A board ¡ Opportunity: Total number of parts plus solder points ¡ Calculate Your Sigma ¡ Defects: 18 boards ¡ Units: 1,000 boards ¡ Opportunities: 58 (1 board + 13 resistors + 4 capacitors + 2 diodes +
38 solder points) ¡ Sigma: 4.92
Conclusion ¡ To measure quality you can use CTQ/VOC ¡ First gather customer quotes ¡ Translate them into quality points ¡ Figure out how to measure them ¡ Determine defects, units, and opportunities ¡ Set an acceptable range
