Qualitative

Queue Time
  A queue is often compared to a line.  A queue can be associated with any item, person or service that spends any amount of time in a line before work begins.  

Example:

  During the holiday season customers are asked to take a number and wait to purchase their chocolates.  After the customer has taken their number they then stand in line until it is their turn.  This is one example of people standing in queue.  

Improvement Opportunities:

   Queue time can generally take up more than 75% of the total lead time in many different factories.  Finding and reducing these queue points can significantly improve throughput.

Picture
  Quality Function Deployment is a methodology developed by Dr. Yoji Akao.  The methodology attempts to accomplish all major requirements of the customer.  It does this by identifying the voice of the customer and working to ensure the needs are met or exceeded.  QFD is also often viewed as a set of communication and translation tools.  QFD tries to eliminate the gap between what the customer wants and what they get.
