In this study, we have devised an effective cleaning method of metal objects to be cleaned. The experimental setup of cleaning system was designed to adopt environmentally friendly cleaning agent, vacuum ultrasonic technology, micro-bubbles generator and vacuum drying technology. In order to maximize the cleaning effect, cleaning parameter’s conditions that can affect the strength of the cavitation are suggested. The effectiveness of the cleaning system using an alternative cleaning agent was verified by testing under the specified conditions.

Recently the market of the food waste disposer has increased. Therefore, many companies in the development of food garbage disposer has been increasing interest. In this study, we used QFD (Quality Function Development) to find out the quality factors for the development of the food waste disposer reflecting the consumer needs. HOQ (House Of Quality) showing the correlation between consumer characteristic and engineering characteristic was written by investigating the consumer needs based on the consumer complaints and survey. In addition, we generated the CTQ (Critical To Quality) reflecting the weighting of the importance of the parts. As the research result, the important quality factors for the food garbage disposer were the grinding capability, drying, and odor emission features. The crushing motor associated with grinding and dehydration appeared as the most important quality factors among the parts. Second thing was the fan motor associated with odor. The findings will be able to contribute to the development of the food waste disposer reflecting the consumer needs.

본 논문은 QFD(Quality Function Development)기법을 활용하여 소비자의 요구사항을 반영한 음식물 처리기의 핵심 품질 요소를 도출하는데 목적을 두었다. 일반 소비자와 관련업계 종사자를 대상으로 설문조사와 FGI를 실시하여 VOC(voice of customer)를 도출하였고, 전문가 그룹을 통해 EC를 도출하여 VOC와 EC(Engineering Characteristic)간의 상관관계를 도표화 하여 HOQ(House Of Quality)를 작성하였다. HOQ 차트를 통해 분쇄건조식 음식물 처리기에 있어 우선시 되는 것은 음식물 분쇄기능, 건조기능 외에 냄새 배출기능, 외관 색상 등의 요소가 중요한 품질요인이라는 결과을 도출하였다. 부품별 요인으로는 분쇄 탈수와 관련 된 모터와 냄새 제거와 관련한 팬모터가 가장 핵심 부품으로 고려되어야 한다는 결과를 도출하였다.
