Abstract

Quality function deployment (QFD) is a customer-driven product development approach, which has been applied by many authors to improve the quality of higher education. By employing SATI3.2, RStudio, Ucinet6.0, we make a bibliometric analysis for the papers on QFD application in China higher education, which are catalogued by CNKI from 1999 to 2017. By analyzing the information of year, periodical, organization, author and citation frequency for the papers in this field, this paper obtains the periodical distribution, main organization, active author and literature of high citation. Through clustering analysis, association rule analysis and social network analysis of high frequency keywords, this paper obtains the research hotspot and frontier of QFD application in China higher education.
