N2 - Quality function deployment (QFD) is a design method that can be used to improve the quality of products. A QFD application aimed at improving quality of pruning shears is presented and applied. QFD is considered a suitable method for the ergonomic design of hand tools. The QFD application provides valuable information in the design process for hand tools and it can be used in the decisionmaking process during the design of hand tools.
