Welcome to the International Council for Quality Function Deployment. QFD is a quality approach to new product design, development, and implementation driven by customer needs and values. QFD has been successfully used by many world class organizations in automobiles, ship building, electronics, aerospace, utilities, leisure and entertainment, financial, software, and other industries.

The ICQFD represents the coordinated efforts of QFD practitioners and researchers worldwide. Here you will find information about events and issues of international importance.

Our Vision and Mission

Our vision is to see a united effort by various national QFD organizations to leverage our synergy and mutual interests to promote QFD as a 'best practices' method of producing products and services that satisfy customers.

To achieve this, our mission is to promote local QFD events, convene an annual International Symposium of QFD, and promote QFD related research.

Council Profile

The ICQFD was established at the conclusion of the 3rd International Symposium on QFD in 1997.   Our purpose is to provide a unified body to coordinate the many local QFD organizations, efforts, and events around the world. QFD practitioners can enjoy a single window to these global activities.
