Determination of design specifications of an amashito chili seed fracturing machine using QFD tool

The objective of this work is to determine the design specifications of the amashito chili seed fracturing machine to facilitate its cultivation and provide farmers with a system that meets their needs. A survey was carried out in order to know the opinion of farmers. The survey was carried out in the public markets of Paraíso, Comalcalco and Jalpa de Méndez Tabasco, among merchants and producers who are dedicated to the sale and planting of chili. In the analysis of the results, the specifications that are necessary for the machine are found. The results show that sellers and/or producers of amashito chili require a seed fracturing machine to facilitate cultivation. The specifications were translated based on what the client needs using the Total Quality Deployment QFD tool.
