    What Is Quality Function Deployment and Why It MattersA Customer-Driven Design Method

    Quality Function Deployment (QFD) is a structured, customer-driven method that translates the Voice of the Customer into specific engineering and process characteristics across product and service development. This Quality Function Deployment training in Malaysia gives product and quality professionals practical command of the House of Quality, the planning matrix at the heart of QFD. Developed in Japan by Yoji Akao and Shigeru Mizuno and first applied at the Kobe Shipyard in 1972, QFD is a standard tool in manufacturing, automotive, electronics, healthcare and software design. Over one intensive day you learn to capture customer requirements, turn them into measurable engineering targets, resolve design conflicts, and cascade decisions through the four QFD phases: product planning, parts deployment, process planning and production planning. This is a non-certification skills course with no examination. You finish with a course completion record from Invensis Learning and QFD skills you can apply the next day.

    Is QFD linked to Six Sigma?

    Yes. QFD is a core tool in Design for Six Sigma, in the DMADV Measure phase, and in the DMAIC Define phase, where it translates customer needs into critical-to-quality requirements. The course covers both.

    Course Content

    What topics does the QFD course cover?

    The one-day programme covers six modules: QFD foundations and business case, Voice of the Customer capture, building the House of Quality, interpreting the matrix, cascading QFD through four phases, and QFD in DFSS, DMAIC and services.

    What is the House of Quality?

    The House of Quality is the central QFD planning matrix. Its six rooms link customer requirements to measurable engineering characteristics, a relationship matrix, a correlation roof, competitive benchmarking and engineering targets.

    What are the four phases of QFD?

    The four QFD phases are product planning (the House of Quality), parts deployment, process planning and production planning. Together they trace every production control back to a specific customer requirement.

    Are there hands-on exercises?

    Yes. You build and interpret a House of Quality from a realistic product or service scenario, structure customer needs with an affinity diagram, apply the Kano model, and identify design hot spots and conflicts.

    How long is the QFD training?

    The course runs for one day (8 hours), and can also be delivered as two extended half-day sessions. It covers all six modules with concept explanations, case studies and hands-on House of Quality exercises.
