Recenzje

"Voice of the Customer properly acquired and deployed using the Customer Oriented Concepting Process (COPC) has been a powerful combination for us. Properly deployed at the front end of the commercialization process, VOC and COPC allowed us to make decisions faster and right as well as establish a core platform for the future. This book provides the framework and logical sequence of these tools."-Richard Tetro, Vice President-Technical Director, Black Clawson Converting Machinery, LLC.

"Understanding customers' needs and wants is a key success factor for new product commercialization. The techniques described in this book enable the distillation of customer data into information useful to the product development team. Having used many of these techniques, I have found them to be best applied in the earliest stages of product planning and development and significantly enhance the effectiveness of other Best Practices such as Value Engineering, Design for X and FMEA."-Chris Tsai, Project Manager, Six Sigma Black Belt, Eastman Kodak Company
