waiting chair who already represent from the waiting chair
user. Question on the open questionnaire is when and why do
you use this waiting chair? what is the advantage of the
waiting chair you are currently using? What is the lack of a
waiting chair that you use today? What are some things you
consider when buying a waiting chair? What improvements
do you want to have on your existing waiting chair?

3.2 Phase Value Engineering
At this information stage focused on the value of the relative
importance of product technical needs at the QFD stage. The
results of interviews with the manufacturer of product
manufacturers describe the waiting seat products that are
based on hollow pipes and wooden planks. The base material
used is 2x2 pipe size and 3x3 full pipe, with a seat height of
450 mm, width of 380 mm, length 2,000 mm. While the table
height is 790 mm, width 300 mm, length 2,000 mm. Seating
area and desk are fitted with wooden planks. In addition,
there is information that the cost of making a waiting chair
product according to specification above is IDR 546.500,00
Here's the picture that shows the production of waiting chair
products from industrial Engineering of Kadiri University.
