    What Is QFD and Why It Matters for Product TeamsA Customer-Driven Design Method

    The Quality Function Deployment (QFD) Training is a practical, one-day skills programme that teaches you how to translate the Voice of the Customer into specific engineering and design characteristics using the House of Quality matrix. For professionals in Angola, it turns customer requirements into design decisions that reduce rework and win in the market. QFD was developed in Japan by Yoji Akao and Shigeru Mizuno, with its first formal application at Mitsubishi's Kobe Shipyard in 1972. Today the House of Quality and the four-phase QFD model (product planning, parts deployment, process planning and production planning) are used across manufacturing, oil and gas, consumer goods, healthcare and service design. The course suits product designers, design and quality engineers, product managers, R&D professionals and Six Sigma practitioners. You build and interpret a full House of Quality through hands-on exercises, then cascade it through the four phases. There is no examination; you receive a course completion record from Invensis Learning. Start building customer-driven design capability with a programme employers value across sectors.

    Will I receive a certificate after the course?

    You receive a course completion record from Invensis Learning after finishing the programme. No formal certification or credential is awarded by an external body, as QFD is a skills methodology rather than a certification scheme.

    How is my learning assessed during the course?

    There is no formal assessment. Instead, you apply the concepts through practical exercises, building and interpreting your own House of Quality matrix and completing Voice of the Customer and Kano model activities throughout the day.

    Will I be able to apply QFD at work afterwards?

    Yes. After the programme you can facilitate Voice of the Customer workshops, build a House of Quality, cascade QFD through parts, process and production planning, and use it within Design for Six Sigma and DMAIC projects.

    How long is the QFD training?

    The course is delivered in one day (8 hours), covering QFD foundations, Voice of the Customer capture, full House of Quality construction, HoQ interpretation, four-phase cascading, and QFD in Design for Six Sigma and service design.

    Course Content

    What topics does the QFD training cover?

    The programme covers QFD principles and origins, the Voice of the Customer and Kano model, building and interpreting the House of Quality, resolving design trade-offs, the four-phase QFD cascade, and applying QFD in Design for Six Sigma, DMAIC and services.

    What is the House of Quality?

    The House of Quality is the central QFD planning matrix. It links customer requirements to engineering characteristics, scores their relationships, benchmarks competitors, uses a correlation roof to flag design conflicts, and sets measurable engineering targets.

    Does the course include hands-on practice?

    Yes. You build a complete House of Quality from a realistic product or service scenario, structure the Voice of the Customer with affinity diagrams, classify needs with the Kano model, and calculate column importance during the session.

    Does QFD apply to services as well as products?

    Yes. While QFD began in manufacturing, the House of Quality applies wherever customer requirements must become design or delivery specifications, including healthcare, financial services, IT service design and software development.

    What materials are provided with the course?

    You receive structured learning materials, House of Quality templates, worked examples and case studies to support the hands-on exercises and your own QFD projects after the training.
