What Is Quality Function Deployment and How Does It Work?UntitledVoice of the Customer to Design Specification
Quality Function Deployment (QFD) is a structured, customer-driven planning method that translates the Voice of the Customer into specific engineering and design characteristics at every stage of product and service development. This Quality Function Deployment training in Iceland teaches you to capture what customers actually need and carry it, without distortion, through to design, parts, process and production decisions. The one-day programme is built around the House of Quality, the central QFD planning matrix, and the four-phase QFD cascade developed in Japan by Yoji Akao and Shigeru Mizuno. You learn from first principles, so no prior QFD or Six Sigma background is required, and hands-on exercises let you build and interpret a real House of Quality during the session. It suits product designers, quality and manufacturing engineers, product managers and R&D professionals across Iceland's manufacturing, medical device, biotech and ocean-technology sectors. QFD is also a core tool in Design for Six Sigma and DMAIC, so the skills apply directly to improvement work. Start building customer-driven design skills with Invensis Learning.
