QFD was the Basis for the Selection of the Most Promising Technologies
Here’s a blow-up of the “T” matrix, and possible paths to pursue once this matrix is complete.
A plot of technology performance satisfying FWV goals verses technology affordability was proposed as a logical output from which a cut at the most promising technologies to incorporate on the FWV program could be made. Three perspectives were also proposed, 1) an affordability only, 2) a performance only, and 3) a combined affordability and performance perspective.
A fourth perspective was also evaluated - the ratio of the combined affordability and performance divided by the investment cost for each technology to reach Technology Readiness Level 6 by 2003.
