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, San Diego 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.

San Diego

Silicon Beach

Excellent choice! San Diego began with hide and tallow trade. Once located on San Diego Bay, shipping convenience and the later connection of a railroad triggered the city's growth. The San Diego Zoo was built. A naval base was established, and WWI encouraged avionics attracting defense contractors. Economic diversification spread to education, research including biotech, tourism, and electronics / communication.

Facility

Perhaps most importantly, our San Diego Quality Function Deployment (QFD) Training facility is near the coast making it understandable that you stay in a cool hotel right on the beach. You might like to try the Boathouse; surf and turf place out on a little peninsula. We're located near major interstates I-5 and I-8 close to NTC Park, naval facilities, Sea World, and the San Diego Zoo.

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.
