The company's move into the laundry market with the Contrarotator washing machine, and the compression of product timescales throughout the home appliance industry, has meant that this sort of development programme is no longer feasible.
Dyson had to introduce finite element analysis as part of the design process but was concerned that the traditional "stress office" model could be too inflexible and stifle the creative freedom and ability to develop ideas, which has been the very essence of Dyson's success.
At the TCT 2002 conference in October, Dyson will relate the problems faced and the solutions adopted to more than 500 of Europe's top product designers and manufacturing engineers.
