Origins of the Kano Model

Noriaki Kano
 Developed foundation for an approach on “Attractive
Quality Creation” commonly referred to as the “Kano
Model”
 Challenged traditional Customer Satisfaction Models
that More is better, i.e. the more you perform on each
service attribute the more satisfied the customers will
be.
 Proposed new Customer Satisfaction model (Kano
Model)


Performance on product and service attributes is not equal in
the eyes of the customers
Performance on certain categories attributes produces higher
levels of satisfaction than others.


Project Selection

Six Sigma


Key Elements

 Type
B (basic) attributes, or must be or expected
 Type O (one-dimensional) attributes
 Type E (excitement) attributes
 Type I (indifferent) attributes
 Type R (reverse) attributes





Analyze data from available sources
Brainstorm list of features and functionality
Determine type of requirements:



Output Requirements
Service Requirements
Kano Model Requirements Survey

User Survey

“Functional form” vs. “Dysfunctional Form”



“How would you feel if the product had feature X?”
“How would you feel if the product didn’t have feature X?”
