    What Is Quality Function Deployment Training?A Customer-Driven Design Method

    Quality Function Deployment (QFD) is a structured, customer-driven method that translates the Voice of the Customer into measurable technical and engineering characteristics across the product development lifecycle. This Quality Function Deployment training in Belgium teaches you to build and interpret the House of Quality, the central QFD planning matrix, so that customer requirements drive every design decision. Developed in Japan by Yoji Akao and Shigeru Mizuno, QFD is used worldwide in manufacturing, automotive, pharmaceuticals, medical devices, software and service design. The one-day, instructor-led programme suits product designers, design and quality engineers, product managers and Six Sigma practitioners across Belgium's manufacturing and life-sciences heartland. You learn to capture and structure the Voice of the Customer, apply the Kano model, construct all six rooms of the House of Quality, and cascade QFD through the four phases of product planning, parts deployment, process planning and production planning. This is a practical skills course with no exam. You receive a course completion certificate from Invensis Learning and capability you can apply straight away.

    What Our Learners Say

    The House of Quality Finally Clicked

    "The course finally made the House of Quality click for me. Building a full matrix from a real product during the session, roof and all, meant I could run a Voice of the Customer workshop for my design team the following week."

    Wouter Claes

    Design Engineer

    Practical and Directly Applicable

    "As a quality engineer in medtech, the traceability from customer need to process control was exactly what I needed. The Kano model and relationship matrix are now part of how we plan design controls."

    Connected QFD to Our Six Sigma Work

    "Clear, well-paced and hands-on. I came in unsure how QFD fitted with our Six Sigma work and left able to use the House of Quality in our DMADV projects. The trainer's real examples made all the difference."
