Research Methodology for the Development of Data Mining Driven Forecasting Software Tool for Quality Function Deployment

Shivani K Purohit, Ashish K Sharma

Abstract


A well-thought and analysed research methodology is the prerequisite for the development of any flourishing software tool. It acts as centre of operations because entire research process is surrounded by it and keeps the researcher on right track. Selection of right methodology is crucial task, as research must process at right point of time and advance in right direction only. Quality Function Deployment and Data mining are itself very vast and complex processes. The development of proposed software tool requires the integration of both processes in order to generate the forecasts. Thus, a robust methodology needs to be planned and understood for achieving the designing goals. Thus, this paper focuses on the research methodology used for the development of data mining driven forecasting software tool for Quality Function Deployment. Understanding the research methodology of proposed software tool will provide researcher the helping hand for development of data mining driven forecasting software tool.

Keywords: Quality function deployment (QFD), data mining, research methodology, forecasting, software tool
