    What Is the QFD Methodology?Customer Needs, Translated into Design

    Quality Function Deployment Training in Maldives introduces Quality Function Deployment (QFD): a structured, customer-driven methodology that translates the Voice of the Customer into specific technical, engineering and service characteristics across product and service development. Built around the House of Quality matrix, QFD turns what customers actually want into measurable design targets. Developed in Japan by Yoji Akao and Shigeru Mizuno and first applied at the Kobe Shipyard in 1972, QFD is used across manufacturing, tourism, healthcare and software wherever customer requirements must drive design. For professionals in Maldivian resorts, seafood export, construction and banking, that discipline shapes the services and products customers value. This one-day programme suits product designers, quality engineers, product managers, marketing professionals and Six Sigma practitioners. You leave able to capture the Voice of the Customer, build and read a House of Quality, and cascade QFD through its four phases, ready to apply the next working day.

    What You Will Build in This CourseSkills You Apply the Next Day

    The QFD training programme helps you move from capturing customer needs to producing measurable design targets. By the end of the one-day programme you can run a House of Quality workshop and cascade QFD through its four phases.

    Capture the Voice of the Customer

    Skills covered in Quality Function Deployment start with capturing the Voice of the Customer. Learn to gather, structure and prioritise customer needs using interviews, surveys, ethnographic observation, affinity diagrams and the three-level requirement hierarchy.

    Build a Complete House of Quality

    Construct the House of Quality room by room: customer requirements, engineering characteristics, the relationship matrix, competitive benchmarking and engineering targets, so design priorities are visible and evidence-based.

    Prioritise Needs with the Kano Model

    Classify requirements as must-be, performance and delighter features, and weight them so design investment goes where it matters most to customers rather than to the loudest opinion.

    Resolve Design Conflicts in the Roof

    Use the correlation roof to expose where improving one characteristic harms another, and make deliberate, evidence-based trade-offs instead of discovering conflicts during costly prototyping.

    Cascade QFD Through Four Phases

    Flow customer requirements from product planning into parts deployment, process planning and production control, keeping full traceability from every need to its specification.

    Apply QFD to Services and Six Sigma

    Adapt the House of Quality to service, software and healthcare design, and use QFD within Design for Six Sigma (DMADV) and DMAIC projects to translate the Voice of the Customer into CTQs.

    Priorities I Can Actually Justify

    "As a product manager I used to rely on gut feel for feature priorities. The Kano model and the relationship matrix gave me a defensible way to decide what actually matters to customers. I applied it to a new service the following week."

    General

    What is Quality Function Deployment (QFD)?

    Quality Function Deployment is a structured, customer-driven methodology that translates the Voice of the Customer into technical, engineering and service characteristics. Its core tool is the House of Quality, a matrix that links what customers want to how a design will deliver it.

    Who should attend QFD training in the Maldives?

    How is my learning assessed?

    There is no formal assessment. Instead, you build and interpret your own House of Quality through guided exercises across the day, so you leave able to apply the method rather than sit a test.

    What will I be able to do after completing the course?

    You will be able to capture and structure the Voice of the Customer, build a complete House of Quality, calculate design priorities, resolve conflicts in the correlation roof, cascade QFD through four phases and apply it within DFSS and DMAIC projects.

    Which standards and frameworks does QFD connect to?

    QFD supports Design for Six Sigma (DMADV Measure phase), Six Sigma DMAIC (Define phase), ISO 9001:2015 customer focus, APQP in automotive and the Kano model. The course shows how the House of Quality fits alongside these frameworks.

    Course Content

    What topics does the QFD training cover?

    The one-day programme covers QFD foundations and origins, the Voice of the Customer, building and interpreting the House of Quality, the four-phase QFD cascade, and QFD in DFSS, DMAIC and service design, with hands-on exercises throughout.

    What is the House of Quality?

    The House of Quality is the central QFD planning matrix. It has six rooms: customer requirements, engineering characteristics, the relationship matrix, the correlation roof, competitive benchmarking and engineering targets, making design priorities and trade-offs visible to the whole team.

    Does the course cover the four phases of QFD?

    Yes. You learn how QFD cascades through Product Planning, Parts Deployment, Process Planning and Production Planning, keeping traceability from each customer requirement all the way to production controls.

    Will I get hands-on practice during the training?
