Purpose:

Establish and maintain product and product component requirements, which are based n the customer requirements.

Objective:

Description:

The customer functional and quality attribute requirements can be expressed in the customer’s terms and can be nontechnical descriptions. The product requirements are the expression of these requirements in technical terms that can be used for design decisions. An example of this translation is found in the first House of Quality Function Deployment, which maps customer desires into technical parameters. For instance, “solid sounding door” may be mapped to size, weight, fit, dampening, and resonant frequencies.

Product and product component requirements address the satisfaction of customer, business, and project objectives and associated attributes, such as effectiveness and affordability.

Derived requirements also address the needs of other lifecycle phases (e.g., production, operations, disposal) to the extent compatible with business objectives.
