Today advances in sciences and technologies and development of modern technologies for producing and servicing organizations have created new competitive conditions so that quality counted as the most important factor in world competition. Intensifying global competition and increasing customers’ demands for better quality attracted the attentions of companies for victory in new competitive market to produce articles with better qualities. Researches show that producing organizations in global level operated more successfully than their competitors. If producers want to improve their competitions in complicated and changing markets, they should provide customers’ demands skillfully. Such skills need producing capabilities arise from the markets exactly. Therefore, the outstanding job performance needs systematic methods to integrating suitable decisions accordant with customers’ demands.

Attracting customers’ attention is counted as one of the important criterion of measuring function quality in today’s organizations and sciences and technologies progresses impacted on its special situation greatly, therefore, analysis and categorization of customers’ demands to meet their need and also effective trainings to  effective factors in this process needs efficient model designing and counted as one of the important quality measuring models in this field.

Kano model is considered as one of the important quality measuring models. It is very important to identify the importance of quality features considering for customers since customers are the only who judge the products’ quality and organization services and evaluate the quality by several characteristics which are important in their opinions. So, the degree of importance is a significant dimension which customers consider while evaluating quality function. Although Kano model is important and has a lot of functions, it is not efficient in investigating degree of importance. Therefore, to solve this problem, Young prefers corrective Kano model. In this model degree of importance of each factor is determined.

Dr.  nouryaki Kano is the best teacher, lecturer, author and advisor in quality management field.
