Application of the Mudge diagram and QFD using the hierarchization of the requirements for a flying car as an example

Abstract

In this paper, whose theme is the application of the Mudge diagram and QFD using the hierarchization of the requirements for a flying car as an example, an analysis of the state of the art of flying cars will be conducted, seeking to highlight important characteristics for the development of this concept. The main objective is to show an example of the application of the Mudge Diagram and the Quality Function Development (QFD) tools to define requirements for the success of a flying car. The methods used are: literature review, use of value-focused brainstorming to obtain desirable characteristics and subsequent application of the QFD and Mudge diagram tools for the comparison of desirable feature in such equipment. The results obtained show the importance of these last two tools in the product development, assisting in the decision-making and focus of the project. The Mudge diagram allowed the hierarchization of the requirements used as example, and a comparison between these requirements through the QFD tool. Therefore, it can be concluded that the objectives were achieved, so this work is of great value to the academic field.
