Public Events
The QFD Institute is an independent
organization incorporated in Michigan USA. Our research and training
activities are conducted both in the U.S. and overseas.
The QFD Institute is the sole administrator
of the International QFD Belt Certificate program, the only QFD curriculum
authorized by Dr. Yoji Akao (founder of QFD) outside Japan.
The QFD Institute does not have
a foreign branch and thus it is not directly affiliated with any overseas
groups even if they might have a similar sounding name.
