About Quality Function Deployment (QFD) Training


Who is Quality Function Deployment (QFD) Training for?

Quality Function Deployment Training is for anybody hoping to maximize profitability resulting from the design of their service, process, or product. Sometimes, QFD is referred to as the "House of Quality" because its product planning matrices have the shape of a house. In our course, Fort Worth students learn:

Quality Function Deployment (QFD) Training Course Overview:

QFD training describes Quality Function Deployment - product design 'gone right' transforming customer needs into profit maximized launch plans. Far too often, engineers gather among themselves, and pump out designs with zero input from actual customers. The worst example we've seen was $20M spent on developing a pressure-based uninterruptable power supply system that had no market interest. The engineers thought it was a great idea. And technically it was pretty nifty. Unfortunately, nobody wanted to buy it, and it was a complete waste of shareholder dollars. To avoid mistakes like this, our students learn a structured approach to capturing customer needs and translating them into specific plans to produce products to meet those needs.
Customer Needs. Capturing "voice of the customer" (VOC) through direct discussion or interviews, surveys, focus groups, customer specifications, observation, warranty data, field reports, etc.

Product Planning. Constructing a matrix to translate general customer "what's" into more specific engineering "how's" being product requirements or technical characteristics to satisfy the needs.

Part Deployment. Cascading assembly-level requirements down to the component level.

Process Planning. Evaluating candidate manufacturing processes and choosing processes to make each part.

Quality Control. Defining process control plans to assure retention of capability throughout each part's production.

Fort Worth

Queen City of the Prairie - Where the West Begins

Excellent choice! Fort Worth was established as an army outpost on a bluff overlooking the Trinity River. Thanks to completion of the Texas and Pacific Railway, city Stockyards became a premier center for the cattle wholesale trade. Meat packing firms migrated in cementing a ranching culture. Oil discovery spurred further growth. Now, the Dallas Fort Worth metroplex retains its Western heritage and is known for a world class zoo, amazing museums, insane water parks, printing money, gardens, racing. It's a beautiful area with tons to do after Quality Function Deployment (QFD) Training. Most popular are Fort Worth Stockyards and National History District, Zoo, Water Gardens, and Botanical Gardens.

Facility

The River Plaza office space is situated in an office tower that gives the building the benefit of prominence. Many leading corporations, including a major national accounting firm, international and national oil and gas companies, law firms and financial services, call the tower home. A big draw is the educated workforce, with nearby TCU offering business, technology and management degrees. The newly developing WestBend will evolve the successful University retail district by delivering the critical mass of retail and restaurants, the urban-style pedestrian experience and connectivity to the active social scene on the Trinity Trail. River Plaza is less than two miles away from key destinations in the city, including the Colonial Country Club, the Cultural District, Fort Worth Zoo and Texas Christian University. The office space is well situated for access to the interstate I-30 and Fort Worth Intermodel Transportation Center, where the Trinity Railway Express connects to Dallas and Amtrak to further afield.

This course was very useful and practical, it uses examples that both challenge and compel the student. The experience and expertise of MBBC's instructor in the subject matter result in a classroom environment that marries fundamental pedagogy to the real world; and it includes the advantage of a better understanding of GD&T across diverse teams for their desired application(s). Here, we were able to identify areas of improvement both individually and within our organization. Thank you, it was a great experience.
