Could you please make the rows larger on the “Relationship Matrix”, “Roof” and “Summary” tabs [in the Extended HOQ Template]? Many of my requirements span 2 lines and are getting clipped.
July 16th, 2007 at 11:28 pm
Excellent suggestion! We modified the row heights as you requested in the latest build (1.0.196.0) which released on July 14th. Thanks for the comments. Keep ‘em coming!

Is there any chance of you guys producing a template that looks more like a “house”? I instruct people of the use of the “House of Quality” and although your [Extended] House of Quality Template works quite well in day-to-day use, it doesn’t work as well for explaining the basic concepts of an HOQ.
July 23rd, 2007 at 10:05 am
We will certainly look into it. As you alluded to, we have primarily focused on creating templates for day to day use by experienced QFD practitioners. However, we would like to cater to the needs of novice and beginning users as well.

In relation to Ramesh’s request back on July 20, 2007…
We’re pleased to announce the release of our “Traditional” House of Quality Template for Excel! Although it is rather limited in terms of the number of requirements that can be added to it, it has the traditional “house” look and feel and fits entirely within a single printed page. Try it out, and let us know what you think.

I need to do a full QFD with multiple Houses of Quality. I tried using the Traditional House of Quality, but I have to admit that keeping the different spreadsheets/workbooks in synch is quite a pain. Is there any way that you could create a template workbook that contains multiple HOQ’s in it?
August 21st, 2007 at 7:48 pm
Another great suggestion! (To be honest, we discovered the same need ourselves as we have used the templates for our own purposes.) We’ll get started on creating such a template right away. Be sure to check the main templates page on a regular basis to see if/when it has released.

Just a question: Could you explain me how the values (requirement weight and relative weight -rows 4 & 5 in ‘Relationship Matriz’) are calculated?
August 26th, 2007 at 12:30 am
Pablo,
Since there are two sets of “requirement weights” and “relative weights” in every House of Quality, let’s differentiate the ones that you are asking about as the “functional requirement weights” and “functional requirement relative weights”. These values are calculated as follows:
“relationship values” are the ratings in the middle of the matrix (i.e. “1”, “3”, or “9”)
“customer requirement relative weights” are the weighting values associated with the customer requirements or the weight assigned to the given row (i.e. column “B” in the Extended HOQ Template)
“functional requirement weight” = sum of (all relationship values in column x corresponding customer requirement relative weight)
“functional requirement relative weight” = (functional requirement weight) / (sum of all functional requirement weights in HOQ)
September 12th, 2007 at 8:44 pm
We’re pleased to announce the release of our new QFD templates with successive Houses of Quality within the same workbook. You can download these updated templates from the main templates page.

I have more requirements than rows in room 1. can you make the template expandable?
September 22nd, 2007 at 2:08 pm
Beth,
Judging from the comment you submitted, it appears that you are using the “Traditional House of Quality” template (traditionalhoq.xlt). This template was specifically designed with the intent of maintaining the traditional “house” look and feel. In order to maintain this appearance, we specifically limited the number of requirements allowed on each HOQ so that they would fit entirely on a single printed page.
Have you considered downloading and utilizing the “Extended House of Quality” or “Extended House of Quality (Multi)” templates instead? These templates allow over 250 requirements on both axes in each House of Quality. As you enter a new requirement, conditional formatting automatically draws your borders, shading, row numbering, etc. It was specifically designed to assist in the creation and maintenance of more extensive QFDs.
(By the way, the only difference between the “Extended House of Quality” template and the “Extended House of Quality (Multi)” template is that the “Multi” template facilitates the creation of multiple successive HOQs within the same workbook; whereas the other template contains only a single HOQ.)
Take a look at the Extended HOQ templates and see if they fulfill your current needs. If they don’t, let us know and we will see what we can do about making the modifications/enhancements that you require. If they do fill your needs, we’d love to hear about that as well.
Best regards,

I would like to learn more about the equations used in the templates. The ones I’ve learned use a slightly different nomenclature and I would like to ensure that the values I put into the columns/rows are for their intended purpose. Also, I agree with Ms. Cook’s comments. I like the traditional HOQ look and feel. It would be nice if it had more rows (customer needs) and columns (functional charateristics). I’ve used the extended HOQ and it’s good. But it’s hard to explain to a team. The traditional is very visual and the teams grasp that better than the extended. Last suggestion, maybe a pdf guide on the templates and their equations underneath would be very helpful.
Riz
October 7th, 2007 at 9:01 am
I have the same idea with Beth and Riz. I’d like to have more rows and columns while maintaining the house look. The concern about fitness into a page seems much less than its benefits. I can print the HOQ in A0 pager size or show it on a big screen with a LCD projector. With those, the concern is very minor. Thank you in advance for your consideration.
October 17th, 2007 at 8:38 pm
It sounds like we need to make a larger version of the “Traditional” House of Quality template. We’ll get to work on it right away.
Thanks again for your terrific feedback!

I am currently taking a course in Knowledge Management, and one of the homework assignments in this module concerns QFD and HoQ analysis.
I have downloaded your MS-Excel templates and find them an exceptional aid, not only in carrying out HoQ analysis, but also in understanding the thought-processes involved.
I plan to post a link to your website on our class conference for this assignment, and would like permission to post the “traditional” HoQ template for other classmates to use.
Please advise at your convenience -
Thank you very much for making this software available, and I thank you in advance for your response.

October 27th, 2007 at 10:05 pm
Dear “A”,
Thank you very much for the positive feedback! It is much appreciated.
As far as posting our template to your class conference page goes, we would request that you post a link to our template download page (https://www.qfdonline.com/templates/) instead of posting the template directly. (Technically, posting the template is a violation of the terms of use associated with the templates.)
There are two reasons why we would prefer that you not post our QFD templates directly to any site, and both of them center around our desire to make new and/or updated templates available to our users:
1) We regularly release new and/or updated templates. (We are currently working on a version of the “Traditional” House of Quality template that has room for substantially more requirements in each HoQ.) By posting a link to our templates download page rather than the template itself, you can ensure that your class conference page will always point to the most updated versions of our templates.
2) Our templates download page provides our users with the opportunity to sign up for notifications regarding the availability of new and/or updated templates. If users check the box indicating that they wish to be notified of updates, then we will send them email notifications as soon as new and/or updated templates are released. If they do not check the optional notification box, they will of course not be notified; however, pointing your classmates to this page rather than directly to the template gives them the opportunity to sign up for notifications if they so desire.
Once again, we greatly appreciate your feedback and wish you the best of success with both your academic and professional endeavors. Please let us know if we can be of any further assistance to you.
Thank you again,

The Traditional template was very helpful. As part of a “New Product Development” course my team is involved in a HOQ for the new product. Your template has been very helpful. I have one question: I don’t need all the extra rows and columns i.e I have about 5 Whats and 5 Hows, how can I get rid of the unwanted rows and columns and make the House smaller? Thanks again for the templates…
November 8th, 2007 at 5:05 pm
Meena,
Currently, the only templates that allow a variable number of requirements are the “Extended” templates. In order to remove rows in those templates, all you have to do is remove the cell values and the borders and highlighting will disappear automatically.
Unfortunately, it is not currently possible to remove rows from the “Traditional” templates. We will certainly look into adding that functionality as an enhancement request, however.
Thank you,
- QFD Online Template Team
November 16th, 2007 at 11:17 am
I downloaded the “Traditional HOQ” because we need the entire ‘house’ diagram all in one. HOQ1 tab only has 10 rows for requirements, HOQ2 tab has 15 rows but I cannot add to them. How do I use HOQ2 (i.e. doing a project that has 15+ requirements). I’ve tried the “Extended HOQ” but doesn’t really work for us visually. Thanks for the help and great templates by the way!!
December 12th, 2007 at 10:41 pm
Good news! We have created a larger/expanded version of the “Traditional” House of Quality template. It allows up to 25 requirements in any list of any HOQ.

Hi there, just wanna drop a line to say thanks for a great job in the house of quality template. Just two questions for you…. can you tell me what is the formula for the weight/importance and relative weight for both the row and column and why is this required?
Thank you.
January 2nd, 2008 at 4:35 pm
The TraditionalHOQ_large template appears to have a bug.
The “Max Relationship Value in Row” apparently is only looking at the values in columns 1-16 and not 17-25. This may have been an oversight when the template was expanded. Please correct this since the spreadsheet template is protected and I’m unable to do so.
Thank you for making these templates available to the public!

Hi
I am trying to use your basic template to assist me in answering an OU course assignment question. My course notes don’t explain how to complete the “roof” and even with the template I’m unsure how to fill this part in - could you help?
many thanks - the templates are great by the way much better than my own efforts on excel
January 9th, 2008 at 11:14 pm
Julie,
The “roof” of the House of Quality is used to show the correlation between two requirements.
Let’s suppose that you have created an HOQ for a particular mechanical part. Let’s further suppose that you have the following functional requirements or “how’s” going horizontally across the top of your HOQ:
* Thickness (< .5 cm)
* Strength (support > 50 kg)
* Weight (< 2 kg)
Under most circumstances, the requirement to minimize thickness would have a negative correlation with the requirement to maximize strength (because parts usually become weaker as you make them thinner). Thus, you would enter a “-” at the intersection of these two requirements in the “roof” matrix.
However, the requirement to minimize thickness would likely have a positive correlation with the requirement to minimize weight (because parts usually become lighter as you make them thinner if all other dimensions are held constant). Thus, you would enter a “+” at the intersection of these two requirements in the “roof” matrix.
The requirements to maximize strength and to minimize the weight of the product probably do not have any direct correlation at all. Thus, you would probably leave the intersection of these two requirements in the “roof” blank.
Hopefully that makes sense. Please let us know if we can answer any other questions for you.

February 5th, 2008 at 9:02 pm
First off, this thing is great! However, after downloading the template why do I get the error message: “File error: data may have been lost”?
Secondly, is there any chance you could include technical competetive assesment? Along those lines perhaps sale point(value between 1.0 & 2.0) & scale factor (ratio of the target value to value in customer competetive assessment) for the prioritized customer requirements? (This would then be taken into account in the relative weight for the prioritized technical descriptor).
Just a thought…
Thanks!

The simplest way to insert your House of Quality into a document as an image is to save it as a TIFF file through the use of the Microsoft Document Imaging application that comes with MS Office.
The following link explains this process:
“Save an Office Document as a TIFF File”
After you have created the TIFF file you should be able to insert it into your document by choosing “Insert->Picture->From File” and then browsing to the newly created file.

Great site and the templates are exactly (almost) what I’ve been searching for. I like the whole house view but it is limited in entries. For one project I have, I need 44 columns.
I think the extended is better for working in as it prevents people from thinking ahead. Is there a way to ‘display’ the house from the extended data? It wouldn’t need the functionality of the standard template, just a traditional view for those that need it.
Keep up the good work.
June 21st, 2009 at 6:07 pm
The ‘Target or Limit Value’ row is to indicates existing value or new target value? If it is for indicating new target value, than how the team derives this value in the first place? How can the’Relative Weight’ data add value to the quality deployment?

You are free to use the templates in demonstrations, presentations, and print material. We simply ask that you do not distribute the templates directly by posting them to the Web, copying them to CD, or other forms of electronic distribution. We would prefer that you direct your students to the QFD Online URL where they can download the templates themselves. We ask this so that we can ensure that the latest versions of the templates are being distributed as much as possible (as opposed to earlier versions which may have been downloaded quite some time ago). Additionally, by directing your students to the website, you will give them an opportunity to sign up for notifications concerning available updates to the templates (if they would like to receive them).
Best of luck with your instruction and consulting efforts!

Thanks a lot for the great templates. I’m a PhD student and these templates make my life much easier. I just have one question: is there any way to extend the amount of columns and rows.

Is there any solution that you can offer me?

First of all these templates are great.
I need to add information and some graph to the Extended HOQ format that I’m using for process improvement:
Information: A worksheet with some criteria about the Competitive Analysis, example:
0 - Very Bad (we have problems rigth now)
1 - Bad (Deficient, informal, not matured)
2 - Regular (incomplete, some defects)
3 - Aceptable (normal quality, normal performance)
4 - Best (eficient, controlable)
5 - Top Performance (high quality, matured, sustainable)
This new worksheet could be open to insert instructions, comments, pictures.
I want to change the look of the CA Graph or, make another one using bars and Pies.
Maybe you can remove the workbook protection (to allow to insert extra worksheets)
I appreciate your help
Best regards.

The spreadsheet provides a great foundation, but I’d like to do some formatting to make it easier to read.
* Is there a way that I can categorize the customer “Wants” in to big buckets (add big bucket categorizations)? For example, like Easy, Fast, etc.
* If big bucket categorization is in a future version, is there a way to bold the big bucket item like Easy so that I can have it plus the want on the same line with distinction of the two.
October 22nd, 2011 at 1:38 pm
I love the spreadsheet, but don’t understand the mechanisms from moving the items from one HOQ to the other. Is there an instruction sheet that explains the input of data and the movement from each house?

Nice work! I like the template overall.
I would be nice to improve the readability of the rows and columns by shading them lighter and/or inverting the text color. Also, providing the password so we can make these changes to suit our individual preferences would be fantastic!
June 11th, 2012 at 11:09 am
Using the ExtendedHOQ, I’m wondering if the Roof tab is incorrect. I have entered 12 items in the previous tab which are carried over in both Rows and Columns but it appears the UpperRight half of the Roof section is locked. I can only enter +/- in the LowerLeft half of the Roof.
For instance, lets say I have 3 rows and columns with the following values; (1)Diecast, (2)Sheetmetal, (3)Plastic.
R1C1 is locked, R1C2 is locked, R1C3 is locked
R2C1 is Open, R2C2 is locked, R2C3 is locked
R3C1 is Open, R3C2 is Open, R3C3 is locked
I would have expected the following instead,
R1C1 is locked, R1C2 is Open, R1C3 is Open
R2C1 is Open, R2C2 is locked, R2C3 is Open
R3C1 is Open, R3C2 is Open, R3C3 is locked
Maybe I misunderstood the roof section?
Thanks
June 30th, 2012 at 2:15 pm
Shaun,
The Roof tab is working as designed. The roof identifies correlations between inputs. That correlation does not depend on order or direction. It is assumed that if there is a negative correlation between Diecast and Sheetmetal, then that correlation exists between Sheetmetal and Diecast as well (i.e. order doesn’t matter).
In your example above, R1C2 and R2C1 document the same thing (the existence of any correlation between Diecast and Sheetmetal). In order to avoid inconsistencies in your data, we have disabled half of the cells so that the information can only be entered once. Additionally, the cells that are unlocked are those in the bottom of the square/matrix in order to best represent the “roof” shape.
Hope that helps,

Can you make the height of the cells in customer requirements tab (column B) taller. I can’t use the file as is. additionally, can you provide the option to have more than (5) competitors in the customer requirements tab.
March 26th, 2013 at 12:23 am
So you don’t handout the password to unlock the templates, but why wouldn’t you allow the ability to delete rows/columns according to the users needs? Having these extra spaces looks unprofessional and annoying considering they’re unnecessary since they don’t contain any pertinent information.

Please if you could give me the password to modify the sheet. Otherwise it’s useless as it doesnt tell me how to do one. You can post it here as well so people dont need to ask again and again! Thanks!

How can I incorporate info about requirements that may be necessary for the sale but not used/ implemented. For instance the completion has one and the market is new and buyer expect to see in the demo? Similarly, how do I incorporate intel about what are minimum, non value-add, non differentiating capabilities?

I really like your HOQ but I am having difficulty using it as it moves to the next HOQ house. Are there any instructions and or examples explaining how this template works.

I’m not sure if this will let me post or get deleted, but for all those looking for the password to unprotect the sheet, I have cracked it.
The password is AAAAABAAAAAo

Are you able to send the password to unprotect the sheet so that I can format this tool to fit my number of line items?

I read that a lot of people asked about the password to unlock the worksheets and the workbooks. Does anybody have it?
I really appreciate if somebody send them to me.
Thanks a lot.

I have close to 1000 functional requirements and would like to add additional columns, but the form is locked. Can I get the password to unlock it? I’m using the extendedhoq form.

Hi!
Your tool is just great. I had the idea of using it for safety management in effect creating “A house of safety” but I need to do slight modifications to the house. How can I do that?
The idea would be to couple different safety philosophies and see how they interact.

Hi. I love your templates. I would like to be able to add or remove rows and columns. If you could please email me the “Unprotect Sheet” password so I can edit, it would be greatly appreciated.

Hi, this question is geared more towards the template team. I am a student attending Iron Range Engineering. I have read the terms of use and I’m still not sure if I can use a QFD template as I had planned. I am in the middle of an industry project for Arctic Cat, and I was wondering if I could present the results I put into the QFD to my client.

Hello,
I’m find your template great & helpful, nevertheles with a high level of restriction I lack of flexiblity. For example to add/remove rows or to enhance/track specific Whats&Hows for example by changing letter color.
I am also restricted to include your template in another excel-file or presentation.
Is there a commercial version or how can I gaing more flexibility (I ask before looking for another template or source).
Thanks a lot.
