in business and Information Technology to
describe the in-depth process of capturing
a customer's expectations, preferences and
aversions. (stated and unstated)

Critical to Quality (CTQ)


VOC’s can be vague and difficult to define,
that’s where CTQ’s come in. The customer
may identify a requirement that is difficult
to measure directly so it will be necessary
to break down what is meant by the
customer into identifiable and measurable
terms
