What Is Quality Function Deployment?A Practical Route from Customer Voice to Design

Quality Function Deployment Training in Norway is a hands-on, one-day course that teaches you to translate the Voice of the Customer into clear engineering and design specifications using the House of Quality. Quality Function Deployment (QFD) is a structured, customer-driven planning method developed in Japan by Yoji Akao and Shigeru Mizuno and first applied at the Kobe Shipyard, and it remains a core tool in modern product development, Design for Six Sigma and service design.

You learn to capture and structure customer requirements, build and interpret the six rooms of the House of Quality, resolve design trade-offs, and cascade decisions through the four QFD phases, from product planning to production planning. The course suits design engineers, quality engineers, product managers and R&D professionals across Norway's manufacturing, maritime, energy and medtech sectors.

Whether you are reducing design rework, speeding time to market or embedding customer focus into your development process, this QFD course gives you a practical method you can apply immediately. Start building customer-driven products with Invensis Learning.

Why QFD Skills Are in Demand Across Norwegian Industry

Zero-Emission Maritime Deadline

From 2026, passenger vessels under 10,000 gross tonnage must meet zero-emission rules in Norway's World Heritage fjords, pushing yards to turn new customer and regulatory needs into design fast, which QFD structures.

QFD structures new customer and regulatory needs

High Cost of Late Design Changes

Norway's high labour and production costs make late-stage redesign expensive. QFD surfaces conflicts and priorities early, so teams cut iterations and get the design right before they build.

QFD helps teams get design right the first time

Medtech Traceability Demands

Norwegian medical device and health-tech firms must trace design back to patient and clinical needs. QFD provides a documented link from customer requirement through to production control.

QFD builds a requirement-to-design audit trail

Industry 4.0 Product Complexity

Automation and connected products multiply requirements and design choices. The House of Quality helps teams prioritise the characteristics that drive real customer satisfaction, not over-engineering.

QFD prioritises what matters to the customer

The Voice-Of-The-Customer Gap

Engineering-led teams often design what they assume customers want. QFD captures and structures the Voice of the Customer so real needs stay visible and traceable throughout development.

QFD makes real customer needs visible

Sustainability by Design

Greener product mandates force teams to balance customer, cost and environmental needs. The correlation roof of the House of Quality makes these trade-offs explicit and easier to resolve.

QFD surfaces customer and environmental trade-offs

Frequently Asked QuestionsHere's everything you may ask...

Quality Function Deployment is a structured, customer-driven method for translating the Voice of the Customer into specific engineering and design characteristics using the House of Quality matrix. It was developed in Japan by Yoji Akao and Shigeru Mizuno and is widely used in product and service development.

General

What is Quality Function Deployment (QFD)?

Is QFD training worth it for professionals in Norway?

Yes. QFD gives product designers, quality engineers and R&D teams a repeatable way to design around real customer needs, cut rework and speed time to market. In Norway's maritime, energy and medtech sectors, that customer-to-design skill is a clear on-the-job advantage.

Who should attend this QFD course?

The course suits design engineers, quality engineers, product managers, marketing and R&D professionals, and Lean Six Sigma practitioners who apply QFD in DFSS or DMAIC projects. No prior QFD knowledge is required.

Do I need any prerequisites to take QFD training?

No. There are no formal prerequisites. Familiarity with product development or quality management is helpful but not required, as the course introduces QFD and the House of Quality from first principles.

How is QFD different from Design for Six Sigma?

Design for Six Sigma (DFSS) is a broad design methodology, while QFD is one core tool used within its Measure phase. This course goes deep on QFD specifically, from full House of Quality construction to the four-phase cascade, so the two are complementary.

Pricing

How much does QFD training cost in Norway?

Course fees vary by delivery mode (live online, classroom or onsite), group size and schedule, so pricing is available on request. Contact a learning advisor for a current quote tailored to individuals or teams in Norway.

What is included in the course fee?

The fee typically covers instructor-led training across all six QFD modules, hands-on House of Quality exercises, learning materials and templates, and a course completion certificate. Request a quote for the exact inclusions for your chosen format.

Do you offer corporate or group pricing?

Yes. We offer group and corporate pricing for teams trained together, which is especially effective as your team can build a House of Quality for a real product during the session. Ask about corporate rates for your organisation.

Are there discounts for booking multiple learners?

Volume-based pricing is available for organisations enrolling several learners or a full team. Speak with a learning advisor to arrange a group quote that fits your needs.

What payment options are available?

We accept major credit and debit cards and bank transfers, with invoicing available for corporate bookings. Contact support to choose the option that suits you.

Assessment

Is there an exam for the QFD course?

No. This is a practical, non-certification course with no examination. Learning is reinforced through hands-on House of Quality exercises, case studies and team discussion during the programme.

How is learning assessed?

There is no formal assessment. You demonstrate your skills by building and interpreting QFD matrices during the hands-on exercises, applying the tools to realistic product and service scenarios.

What do I receive on completion?

You receive a course completion certificate from Invensis Learning that recognises your participation in the one-day QFD programme. No external credential is awarded, as QFD training has no governing body.

Does the course prepare me for a certification?

QFD itself has no certification. However, the skills directly support Design for Six Sigma and Lean Six Sigma projects, so many learners take QFD training alongside those programmes.

How long does the training take?

The course runs for one day (eight hours), covering QFD foundations, Voice of the Customer, House of Quality construction, interpretation, the four-phase cascade, and QFD in DFSS, DMAIC and services.

Course Content

What will I learn in the QFD course?

You will learn to capture and structure the Voice of the Customer, build and interpret all six rooms of the House of Quality, resolve design trade-offs, and cascade requirements through product planning, parts deployment, process planning and production planning.

What is the House of Quality?

The House of Quality is the central QFD planning matrix that links customer requirements to measurable engineering characteristics, scores their relationships, benchmarks competitors and sets design targets. Building and reading it is the core practical skill of the course.

Does the course cover the Kano model and Voice of the Customer?

Yes. The Voice of the Customer module covers data collection methods, customer segmentation, the affinity diagram and the Kano model for classifying must-be, performance and delighter requirements.

Is the training relevant to services and software, not just manufacturing?

Yes. Although QFD began in manufacturing, the course shows how to apply it to service design, healthcare, financial services and software, wherever customer needs must become design or delivery specifications.

Are there hands-on exercises in the training?

Yes. You build a complete House of Quality from a realistic scenario, classify requirements with the Kano model, calculate column importance and identify design hot spots, so you leave able to run QFD at work.

Enrollment

How do I enrol in the QFD training?

You can enrol through the Invensis Learning website. Choose your preferred format, complete your booking, and you will receive joining details, schedules and learning materials. Talk to an advisor if you need help choosing a batch.

What delivery formats are available?

The course is available as online (live virtual) instructor-led training, in-person classroom sessions, and corporate onsite delivery for teams. You can pick the format that best fits your schedule and location in Norway.

When are the next QFD training batches?

New public and corporate sessions are scheduled regularly in live online and classroom formats. See upcoming schedules or contact a learning advisor for the next available dates.

Can the course be delivered onsite for our team in Norway?

Yes. We deliver onsite and live virtual QFD training for cross-functional teams across Norway, customised to your sector and, where you wish, built around one of your own products.
