Sigue el proceso de diseo durante la creacin de una lavadora Simpson en una fabrica adelaida.
Muestra el proceso brainstorming, mira los prototipos y las pruebas de estos en la fabrica, y
muestra la manufactura y lanzamiento del producto
La creacion del producto se basa en un estudio del mercado , el video enfatiza la importancia de
la apariencia, y que tan apetecible sea para el cliente, segn las ultimas tendencias de la moda,
gustos y disgustos por lo que se toma en cuenta a quien se dirige el producto, se observan las
tecnologas utilizadas en el desarrollo de los prototipos convertir un archivo tecnical drawing
CAD, formato digital, en fisico protoptipo de capas de papel o plastico sintetico, tambin resalta
las nuevas tecnologas usadas para su construccin y su riguroso proceso de control de calidad
para asegura que al final del proceso los productos sean verdaderamente eficientes. Se prueba si
el producto realmente encaja, se da forma a los engranajes del sistema y se aceitan de modo tal
que de una garantia de eficiencia de al menos 20 aos. Promociones televisivas del producto y
ventas
