L.\u003c\/h2\u003e \u003cp\u003eThis book focuses on the implementation of Quality Function\nDeployment (QFD) in the construction industry as a tool to help building\ndesigners arrive at optimal decisions for external envelope systems with\nsustainable and buildable design goals. In particular, the book integrates\nspecial features into the conventional QFD tool to enhance its performance.\nThese features include a fuzzy multi-criteria decision-making method, fuzzy\nconsensus scheme, and Knowledge Management System (KMS). This integration\nresults in a more robust decision support tool, known as the Knowledge-based\nDecision Support System QFD (KBDSS-QFD) tool. As an example, the KBDSS-QFD tool\nis used for the assessment of building envelope materials and designs for high-rise\nresidential buildings in Singapore in the early design stage. The book provides\nthe reader with a conceptual framework for understanding the development of the\nKBDSS-QFD tool. The framework is presented in a generalized form in order to\nbenefit building professionals, decision makers, analysts, academics and\nresearchers, who can use the findings as guiding principles to achieve optimal\nsolutions and boost efficiency.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Springer\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2015-10-27\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Hardcover\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9789812878489\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-981-287-849-6\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 235cm x155cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 248\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer Nature Singapore","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47679891144844,"sku":"9789812878489","price":98.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9789812878489.jpg?v=1776574338","url":"https:\/\/lateknightbooks.com\/products\/9789812878489","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
