    What Is Quality Function Deployment?The Method Behind Customer-Driven Design

    Quality Function Deployment Training in Qatar equips professionals with Quality Function Deployment (QFD), a structured, customer-driven method for translating the Voice of the Customer into specific engineering and process characteristics across the product and service development lifecycle. Developed in Japan by Yoji Akao and Shigeru Mizuno and first applied at the Kobe Shipyard in 1972, QFD uses the House of Quality matrix to make customer requirements visible, measurable and traceable through every design decision. This practical, instructor-led course suits product designers, design and quality engineers, product managers, R&D professionals and Six Sigma practitioners working across Qatar's manufacturing, petrochemical, healthcare and service sectors. Over one intensive day you build and interpret a complete House of Quality, structure customer needs, and cascade QFD through parts, process and production planning. As Qatar's National Manufacturing Strategy 2024 to 2030 drives industrial diversification and higher-value production, employers increasingly value people who can design quality in from the start. Build that capability with Invensis Learning and apply it to your own products from day one.

    Frequently Asked QuestionsHere's everything you may ask...

    Quality Function Deployment (QFD) training is a practical, non-certification course that teaches you to translate the Voice of the Customer into engineering and process specifications using the House of Quality. It covers customer needs capture, House of Quality construction, design trade-offs and the four-phase QFD cascade.

    General

    What is Quality Function Deployment training?

    Quality Function Deployment (QFD) training is a practical, non-certification course that teaches you to translate the Voice of the Customer into engineering and process specifications using the House of Quality. It covers customer needs capture, House of Quality construction, design trade-offs and the four-phase QFD cascade.

    Who should attend QFD training in Qatar?

    The course suits product designers, design and quality engineers, product managers, R&D professionals and Six Sigma practitioners across Qatar's manufacturing, petrochemical, healthcare and service sectors. No prior QFD knowledge is required, as every concept is taught from first principles.

    Is QFD training worth it for professionals in Qatar?

    Yes. As Qatar diversifies its economy and grows higher-value manufacturing, employers value people who can design quality around real customer needs. QFD is a transferable skill you can apply immediately to product development, service design and Six Sigma projects.

    Do I need prior experience to take the course?

    No prior experience is required. Familiarity with product development or quality management is helpful but not essential, as the training introduces the House of Quality and all QFD tools from the ground up.

    What methodology does the course follow?

    The course is grounded in the established QFD methodology developed by Yoji Akao and Shigeru Mizuno, with the House of Quality matrix as its core tool. QFD is widely used within Design for Six Sigma, APQP and ISO 9001 design and development practice across industries.

    Pricing

    How much does QFD training cost in Qatar?

    Fees vary by delivery format, group size and whether you book an individual or corporate session, so pricing is available on request. Contact a learning advisor for a tailored quote for QFD training in Qatar.

    What payment options are available?

    We accept major credit and debit cards and bank transfers, with instalment options on selected plans. A learning advisor can help you choose the option that suits you.

    Assessment

    How is learning assessed in the QFD course?

    Learning is assessed through practical, hands-on work rather than a written assessment. You build and interpret a complete House of Quality, classify requirements with the Kano model, and calculate design priorities during the one-day programme, so you leave able to apply the method.

    Will I receive anything on completing the course?

    Yes. On completing the programme you receive a course completion record from Invensis Learning, recognising the practical QFD and House of Quality skills you have built. These skills are immediately applicable and do not expire.

    Does the course lead to a formal credential?

    No. QFD training builds practical, job-ready skills rather than a formal credential, and there is no external awarding body for the methodology. You receive a course completion record from Invensis Learning and can apply the skills straight away.

    How will I apply what I learn at work?

    You will be able to facilitate a Voice-of-the-Customer workshop, build a House of Quality for a real product, prioritise engineering characteristics, and cascade QFD into parts, process and production planning, as well as DFSS and DMAIC projects.

    Do the QFD skills need renewing?

    No. The QFD and House of Quality skills you gain are immediately applicable and do not expire or require renewal. You can keep applying them to new products and services throughout your career.

    Course Content

    What topics does the QFD course cover?

    The course covers six modules: QFD foundations and business case, Voice of the Customer capture, building the House of Quality, interpreting the House of Quality, the four-phase QFD cascade, and QFD in DFSS, DMAIC and services, with hands-on exercises throughout.

    What is the House of Quality?

    The House of Quality is the central QFD planning matrix. It links customer requirements to measurable engineering characteristics, scores their relationships, maps design trade-offs in its roof, benchmarks competitors and sets design targets, all anchored to customer priorities.

    How long is the QFD training?

    The course is delivered in one intensive day of eight hours, or as two half-days of four hours. It covers the full QFD methodology from Voice of the Customer through to production planning, with practical House of Quality exercises.

    Does the course cover QFD for services and software?

    Yes. While QFD began in manufacturing, the course covers applications in healthcare, financial services, IT and software, as well as product development. The House of Quality applies wherever customer requirements must become design or delivery specifications.

    Are there hands-on exercises?

    Yes. You build a full House of Quality from a realistic scenario, structure customer needs with affinity diagrams and the Kano model, calculate design priorities, and identify design hot spots, so you practise the method throughout the day.
