Both are ISO 16355-infused Modern QFD training. They have workshop components. This means that:

• Attendees can bring their own projects to the class (instead of relying on fictitious examples unrelated to your industry); and 
• They receive step-by-step guidance on how to apply each tool correctly, detailed hands-on exercises and Excel templates.
• Attendees can also receive ongoing review of their progress after the course.

The QFD Institute's QFD Green Belt^® Certificate Course is part of the international program in QFD education, and it is the only QFD curriculum authorized by the late Dr. Akao, founder of QFD.

For questions, please contact the QFD Institute. We look forward to having you in these classes.

ISO QFD Training: Public Courses

Compliance with ISO standards is a critical issue in today's global marketplace. ISO compliance assures that customers and suppliers are speaking the same "language," managing expectations, and agreeing on standards of performance.

For those responsible for product development, compliance with the new ISO 16355 is highly critical. This standard includes today's state-of-art QFD best practices, which have long evolved from the familiar House of Quality made popular in the 1970s.

The impact of this standard is huge, and providers of goods and services who comply will have a tremendous advantage in the marketplace.

Quality professionals including Six Sigma, Lean Sigma, DfSS, and DfLS are uniquely qualified to implement this standard. Many of the methods and tools you use to improve your internal operations can now be re-purposed to improve your customer's operations and products. This shifts the financial impact from cost reduction to revenue creation, an almost unlimited opportunity.

ISO 16355-1:2015 was released in December 2015. Parts 2, 4, 5, and 8 are in pre-publication phase and expected by the end of 2016 or early 2017. The remaining parts should follow soon after.

Now is the time to get ahead of your competitors on ISO 16355 compliance.
 
Two public courses are coming up, taught by the convener of the ISO 16355 Working Group.  We encourage you to take advantage of this opportunity.
