Demand analysis (KANO model method)

Manufacturing Research and Development

1. Analysis background introduction

KANO Model was proposed by Noriaki Kano, a Japanese quality management expert, in 1980. It is used to help enterprises understand customers' needs for products or services, and to design and optimize products according to the different characteristics of customer needs. The KANO model divides the characteristics of products or services into five categories based on different types of customer needs.

1

Basic (Necessary) Needs (Basic Needs)

If the customer is satisfied, it will not be particularly satisfied, but if it is not satisfied, it will cause dissatisfaction.

These are the needs that customers take for granted. If they are not satisfied, customers will feel very dissatisfied. For example, it is a basic requirement for smartphones to make calls. Without this function, customers will think that the product cannot be used.

2

Expectations (Performance Needs)

The higher the satisfaction, the higher the customer satisfaction; the more satisfied, the more satisfied the customer is.

This kind of demand is the characteristic expected by customers in the use of the product, which is usually related to the performance, function, quality, etc. of the product. For example, the battery life, camera pixels, processor speed, etc. of mobile phones, customers expect them to perform at a certain level.

3

Excitement Needs

These characteristics often exceed customers' expectations and can significantly improve customer satisfaction.

The excitement demand is that customers do not have clear expectations, but if the product provides these functions or features, it will make customers very surprised and extremely satisfied. For example, with the addition of unique AI assistants and innovative photography functions to smartphones, customers will be very excited without requirements.

4

Indifferent Needs:

There is no significant impact on customer satisfaction, and enterprises can ignore these characteristics.

This kind of demand is irrelevant to customers. Whether it exists or not, customers will not pay special attention to or care about it. For example, some additional functions or design elements may not have a significant impact on some customers.

5

Reverse Needs:

If there are too many such features, it may lead to customer dissatisfaction.

This kind of demand is that customers have a clear aversion to certain characteristics, and too many or inappropriate characteristics may lead to customer dissatisfaction. For example, some customers may not like the excessive personalization of their mobile phones or too many pre-installed applications.

3.2 Power BI Visualization Scheme

 

Note: The DEMO page data is simulated data, which is for reference only to the analysis angle and Power BI function display, and does not involve any actual business data.

4. Analysis and interpretation

No differential requirements (5 items):Users' satisfaction with such needs will not change by the availability of functions.

Expected requirements (2 items):User satisfaction increases linearly with the improvement of functional performance.

Excited needs (3 items):Providing such functions will significantly improve user satisfaction, but users will not pay special attention to them when they are missing.

Essential requirements (2 items):It is the basic expectation of users. If it is missing, it will lead to a significant decrease in satisfaction.

 

5. Application effect

Based on the above analysis of the KANO model, it helps product developers understand the types and priorities of user needs, and provides a basis for product design and optimization.

Analysis suggestions:

Give priority to meeting the necessary needs and ensure the perfect basic functions.

Pay attention to exciting needs to improve user satisfaction and product competitiveness.

Reasonably allocate resources and gradually optimize the expected needs.

No differential demand can be appropriately simplified to avoid waste of resources.
