However, the increasing number of milkfish processing industries even from outside Sidoarjo Regency has caused this industry to be able to compete with various similar businesses from various regions. Therefore, a strategy is needed to improve the competitiveness of processed milkfish.

The QFD method is used because this method can be used to plan and develop products in a structured manner and allow the development team to clearly define customer needs and expectations, and evaluate the ability of a product or service systematically to meet those needs and expectations.

Development priorities based on House of Quality are marketing, packaging design, quality of additional materials, quality of raw materials, content of additional materials, production equipment, and use of packaging materials.]]>
