Dynamic quality planning in product development

In order to facilitate product development under dynamic manufacturing environment, methodologies and technologies were developed to support dynamic quality planning. A dynamic quality planning model (DPQM) for dynamic product development was proposed based on quality activities. The attributes of quality characteristics (QCs) were divided into five aspects for analyzing their evolution during the dynamic product development. The quality objectives were identified through the analysis of the specifications and engineering requirements of QCs at a specific product life cycle stage, followed by classification of quality operations according to their effects on the QCs. A dynamic mapping algorithm between quality objectives and quality operations for configuration of quality activities was presented, together with mathematical model of goal programming for quality planning. The framework for the use of the proposed methodology to solve the problem of measurement quality planning in aerospace manufacturing environment was reported, and the resulting optimization in the dynamic quality planning was discussed.
