    What Is Quality Function Deployment?A Customer-Driven Design Method

    Quality Function Deployment (QFD) is a structured, customer-driven methodology that translates the Voice of the Customer into specific engineering and design characteristics at every stage of product development. Quality Function Deployment training in Sweden gives product and quality professionals the practical tools to build and interpret the House of Quality, the planning matrix at the heart of the method. Developed in Japan by Yoji Akao and Shigeru Mizuno, QFD is a standard tool across the automotive, aerospace, medtech, telecom and consumer goods sectors that define Swedish industry. Over one intensive day you learn to capture customer requirements, turn them into measurable engineering targets, resolve design conflicts, and cascade the analysis through product planning, parts deployment, process planning and production planning. This is a hands-on programme with no test or formal assessment. You build a real House of Quality during the session and leave ready to apply QFD in new product development, service design, and Design for Six Sigma projects. Start your QFD journey with Invensis Learning.

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

    Quality Function Deployment is a structured, customer-driven method for translating the Voice of the Customer into specific engineering and design characteristics. Its main tool is the House of Quality, a planning matrix that links what customers want to how a product will deliver it.

    General

    What is Quality Function Deployment (QFD)?

    Quality Function Deployment is a structured, customer-driven method for translating the Voice of the Customer into specific engineering and design characteristics. Its main tool is the House of Quality, a planning matrix that links what customers want to how a product will deliver it.

    Who should attend QFD training in Sweden?

    The training suits product designers, design and quality engineers, product managers, R&D professionals and Six Sigma practitioners. It is ideal for anyone in Sweden's automotive, telecom, medtech or manufacturing sectors who translates customer needs into product or service specifications.

    Do I need prior experience to take this course?

    No. There are no formal prerequisites. Familiarity with product development or quality management helps, but the programme introduces QFD and the House of Quality from first principles, so beginners and experienced professionals both benefit.

    Is QFD training worth it for my career?

    Yes. QFD is a practical, cross-industry skill that helps you design products customers want, reduce costly rework and shorten time to market. In Sweden, where technical talent is scarce, structured customer-driven design capability makes you more valuable to employers. Talk to a learning advisor to plan your path.

    Is QFD only for manufacturing?

    No. While QFD began in manufacturing, it applies to services, healthcare, financial services and software too. Any context where customer requirements must become design or delivery specifications can use the House of Quality.

    Pricing

    How much does QFD training cost in Sweden?

    Fees vary by delivery format (live online, classroom or onsite corporate) and group size, so pricing is available on request. Contact us for a tailored quote for individual or team training in Sweden.

    What is included in the course fee?

    The fee typically covers instructor-led training, structured courseware, hands-on House of Quality exercises, downloadable QFD templates, learner support, and a course completion record from Invensis Learning.

    Do you offer group or corporate pricing?

    Yes. We offer corporate group training with customised schedules and volume-based pricing for product development and quality teams. Ask about corporate and group pricing for your organisation.

    Are there savings for booking as a team?

    Team and volume bookings are priced individually and often work out more cost-effective per learner than individual seats. Request a group quote and we will tailor it to your team size.

    How do I pay for the training?

    We accept major credit and debit cards and bank transfers, with invoicing available for corporate bookings. Speak with a learning advisor to arrange the option that suits you.

    Assessment

    Is there a test at the end of this QFD course?

    No. This is a practical skills programme with no test or formal assessment. Learning is reinforced through hands-on House of Quality construction, worked examples and team discussion during the one-day session.

    What do I receive after completing the training?

    You receive a course completion record from Invensis Learning. More importantly, you leave able to build and interpret a House of Quality and apply QFD immediately in your own product or service projects.

    How is learning reinforced without a test?

    Through practice. You build a real House of Quality from a product or service scenario, run a Kano classification and calculate design priorities, so you apply every concept during the day rather than memorising it.

    Will I be able to use QFD at work straight away?

    Yes. The programme is designed for immediate application. By the end you can facilitate Voice of the Customer sessions, construct the House of Quality, and cascade requirements through the four QFD phases in your own organisation.

    Is any formal credential awarded?

    No external credential is awarded, as QFD has no governing body or test. You receive a course completion record from Invensis Learning that recognises your participation and the practical skills you have built.

    Course Content

    What topics does the QFD training cover?

    The course covers QFD principles and origins, capturing and structuring the Voice of the Customer, the Kano model, building all six rooms of the House of Quality, interpreting the matrix, cascading QFD through four phases, and applying QFD in Design for Six Sigma and service design.

    What is the House of Quality?

    The House of Quality is the central QFD planning matrix. It links customer requirements to measurable engineering characteristics, rates the strength of each relationship, flags design conflicts in its correlation roof, benchmarks competitors and sets engineering targets.

    How long is the QFD training?

    The programme runs for one full day (eight hours), delivered as a single intensive day or two half-days. It covers all six QFD modules with hands-on House of Quality exercises throughout.

    Are the sessions hands-on?

    Yes. You build and interpret a real House of Quality during the training, work through a Kano classification and calculate column importance, so the day is practical and workshop-based rather than lecture-only.

    Does the course cover Six Sigma and service design?

    Yes. The training shows how QFD fits the Design for Six Sigma (DMADV) Measure phase and the DMAIC Define phase, and how the House of Quality adapts to service, healthcare and software contexts.

    Enrollment

    How do I enrol in QFD training in Sweden?

    You can enrol through the Invensis Learning website. Choose your preferred format, complete your booking, and you will receive access to schedules, courseware and learning resources. See upcoming batches to get started.
