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, Minneapolis 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.

Excellent choice! Minneapolis-Saint Paul Twin Cities form a major metropolitan area with a population of 3.2M built around the Mississippi, Minnesota and St. Croix rivers. Minneapolis is somewhat younger with more skyscrapers with Scandinavian roots. Saint Paul has more quaint neighborhoods with well-preserved late-Victorian architecture influenced by French, Irish, and German heritage. Both cities began with a connection to to Mississippi River. Minneapolis formed thanks to water power derived from Saint Anthony Falls. Whereas Saint Paul was the last convenient boat unloading location prior to the falls. The area is renown for strong child education, and polite / recreational culture offering many fun outdoor and culinary activities for students after Quality Function Deployment (QFD) Training. Most popular of these include shopping on Grand Avenue, exploring Minnehaha Falls Park, admiring works at the Walker Art Center and Minneapolis Sculpture Garden. Other popular destinations are Como Park Zoo and Conservatory and Mill City Museum commemorating the Washburn Flour Mill.

So happy to get a professional that knows what they're talking about in here to teach us something useful. Our hands-on measurement system analysis exercise revealed problems with one of the gages most frequently used by Quality.
