1) In-house Training
A custom-tailored QFD process has proven to be the most effective mode to prepare students for skillful utilization of the power and flexibility of the QFD process. It also enable the organization to develop internal talent for future QFD and New Product Development specialists essential to organizational growth.
In-house Training Features:
- It is held at the request of your company at the location and venue of your choice on a mutually agreeable timing and pace.
- Each in-house QFD program will have custom-tailored training materials and a QFD process that addresses the unique needs of each organization and your project and process.
- Your associates will be trained on this custom-tailored QFD process.
- The private setting allows candid discussions of internal issues and project needs that are essential to a successful project outcome, competitive edge, and organizational culture change.
- Students completing an in-house QFD Belt program earn a provisional QFD Belt certificate upon successful completion of the course. They earn a full status QFD Belt upon completion of several QFD work objects with real customer and project data. (Students who received in-house custom-tailored QFD training typically earn full status QFD Belt upon completion of the training or project.)

Public QFD Courses are often a good starting point for those who are new to QFD, as they offers an opportunity for corporate trainers, project planners, and internal scouts to learn Modern QFD tools and relevant techniques, and explore future in-house training possibilities before making a commitment. Public QFD Courses are also an advisable refresher course for those who learned QFD many years ago.
Public QFD Courses Feature:
