Quality Function Deployment (QFD) on Product Design Development: Group Riding Safety Equipment

Abstract

Motorcycle communities have various of activities, common one is group’s touring or taking a long journey for several purposes such charity as well for community’s gathering. Some condition found in this kind of situation, groups touring creates situations which makes whole pack member have to be focus on their groups riding. In group’s touring, it’s very common for them to using body gestures in order to communicate in a pack. They create some signals by using their body parts which commonly by hand or feet, to deliver their messages such: accelerate; turning; notifying obstacles; break; etc. This contradiction found very risky and dangerous, improper driving position as well with losing focus on driving will endanger the touring group and its surrounding. Considering the existed contradiction, researchers are trying to formulate the solution. GONDEZ "Going on Road Safely" The Touring Safety Riding Equipment with Integrated Control System. The innovation uses to alternate the contradictive condition, the device help the rider in delivering the messages without creating improper dangerous driving gestures. The research methodology adopted from KAIZEN philosophy, followed by QFD as the methods in order to identify and designing the product.
