    Skills You Will Build in This QFD Course

    Practical Tools You Can Use at Work

    This QFD training teaches you to translate customer requirements into design and process specifications using the House of Quality and the wider four-phase QFD system. By the end you can run a House of Quality workshop and cascade the results through development.

    Construct the House of Quality step by step: customer requirements, measurable engineering characteristics, the relationship matrix, competitive benchmarking and engineering targets.

    Calculate absolute and relative technical importance so design effort goes to the characteristics that drive the most customer satisfaction, and spot design gaps and over-engineering.
