    Skills You Will Build in This QFD Programme

    Practical House of Quality Capability

    This programme builds practical Quality Function Deployment capability, from capturing the Voice of the Customer to setting engineering targets. By the end, you can build and interpret a House of Quality and cascade requirements through the full QFD system.

    Capture the Voice of the Customer

    You will learn to capture and structure customer requirements using interviews, observation, surveys and the affinity diagram, then classify them with the Kano model into must-be, performance and delighter needs. This is the foundation of every sound QFD analysis.

    Build the House of Quality

    Construct the House of Quality room by room: customer requirements, engineering characteristics, the relationship matrix, competitive benchmarking and engineering targets, using the standard 9, 3 and 1 rating scale to link needs to design.

    Resolve Design Trade-Offs

    Use the correlation roof to spot where improving one engineering characteristic harms another, so you can resolve design conflicts deliberately instead of discovering them in costly prototypes.

    Prioritise Design Decisions

    Calculate absolute and relative technical importance to rank engineering characteristics, identify design hot spots, and focus effort on the few features that most drive customer satisfaction.

    Cascade QFD Across Four Phases

    Flow requirements from product planning through parts deployment, process planning and production planning, creating a traceable link from every customer need to a production control.

    Apply QFD in Six Sigma and Services

    Use QFD within DFSS (the DMADV Measure phase) and DMAIC (the Define phase), and extend the House of Quality to service, healthcare and software design where customer requirements must become specifications.

    Aminata Diallo

    Quality Engineer

    Hands-On and Immediately Useful

    "Building a real House of Quality during the exercises made it click. The correlation roof showed me conflicts in our design I had never spotted before. Very practical and easy to apply the next week."

    Cheikh Ndiaye

    Product Design Engineer

    Great Fit with Six Sigma Work

    "I use QFD now in our DMAIC projects to translate customer needs into CTQs. The Kano model and affinity diagram sessions were the highlight, and the trainer clearly knew the manufacturing context."

    Fatou Sarr

    Continuous Improvement Analyst
