Gemba 1 Glenn Mazur introduced this term into Quality function deployment|Quality Function Deployment (QFD, a quality system for new products where manufacturing has not begun) to mean the customer's place of business or lifestyle (sociology)|lifestyle. The idea is that to be customer-driven, one must go to the customer's genba to understand his problems and opportunities, using all one's senses to gather and process data.

Mobile business development - Situational method engineering 1 #Quality Function Deployment — Quality function deployment (QFD) is a structured methodology that incorporates mathematical tools used to identify and quantify customers' requirements and translates them into key critical parameters. For a complete description of the QFD method, see this page in Wikipedia.

Yoji Akao 1 is a Japanese planning specialist recognized as the developer of Hoshin Kanri (a strategic planning methodology). With the late Shigeru Mizuno, he developed Quality Function Deployment (a group decision making technique). Akao and Mizuno also co- founded the Quality Function Deployment Institute:[ QFD Institute. Home page of Quality Function Deployment Institute. The Official Source for QFD] a non- profit organization dedicated to dissemination and advancement of QFD.
