The factory of the future is a proposed high rate low cost microwave hybrid manufacturing facility. It is felt that without the application of QFD the facility will never achieve its goal of high rate and low cost. More a diary than a historical account, this paper describes an application that is still in progress. The completion of the project is planned for 1992.]]></description>
