What Is Quality Function Deployment?UntitledA Customer-Driven Route to Better Products
Quality Function Deployment (QFD) is a structured, customer-driven methodology that translates the Voice of the Customer into specific technical and engineering characteristics at every stage of product and service development. Developed in Japan by Yoji Akao and Shigeru Mizuno, and first applied at Mitsubishi's Kobe Shipyard in 1972, QFD uses the House of Quality matrix to connect what customers want to how a design will deliver it. This Quality Function Deployment training in Brazil is a practical, one-day programme that suits product designers, design engineers, quality engineers, product managers, R&D professionals and Six Sigma practitioners. As Brazilian manufacturers, automotive suppliers and consumer-goods firms invest in new product development, the ability to design quality in from the start has become a highly valued workplace skill. You will learn to capture and structure customer requirements, build and interpret the House of Quality, resolve design conflicts using the correlation roof, and cascade QFD through parts deployment, process planning and production planning.
