QUALITY FUNCTION DEPLOYMENT (QFD)
DVD SELF-DIRECTED TRAINING

Quality Function Deployment provides a logical structure for translating the "voice of the customer" into specific, measurable product and process characteristics. It helps QFD teams to design and produce products and services that customers want, focusing every phase of your operation on meeting and exceeding their expectations. As a result, it can significantly reduce engineering changes, design cycles, start-up costs and warranty claims. The materials cover the basic concepts and application skills of a four-phase approach to QFD. They also include QFD/CAPTURE® software — a comprehensive, extremely flexible means of analyzing and documenting QFD efforts.
