abstract = "This paper reviews the benefits and shortcomings of QFD as a design support tool. It identifies the principle problem areas, considers briefly work which has already been done to address them, and then focuses on a proposed solution to one of these problem areas. It is suggested that a Feature-Based Reasoning approach would be a beneficial addition to the evaluation process to determine the relation between the WHATs and HOWs, and that this would result in an improvement in the ease of use and robustness of this part of the QFD process.",
