What Is Quality Function Deployment and Why It MattersUntitledA Customer-Driven Approach to Design
Quality Function Deployment (QFD) is a structured, customer-driven methodology that translates the Voice of the Customer into specific engineering and design characteristics at every stage of product and service development. Developed in Japan by Yoji Akao and Shigeru Mizuno and first applied at the Kobe Shipyard in 1972, QFD is built around the House of Quality, a planning matrix that links what customers want to how a design will deliver it. This one-day, hands-on programme takes you from capturing customer needs to cascading requirements through product planning, parts deployment, process planning and production planning. For professionals across Mauritius manufacturing, textile, seafood and service organisations, QFD skills mean fewer late design changes, faster time to market and products that genuinely fit customer needs. The training suits design engineers, quality engineers, product managers, R&D professionals and Six Sigma practitioners, with no prior QFD knowledge required.
