Voice of Our Customers
"What we were trying to achieve is a product in the market that has a competitive advantage.But there's a lot of white space between a strategy and an outcome. In fact, this is the essence of the Whirlpool story. We had a great strategy, but the products were good, they weren't great. They didn't have the advantage that the strategy quite honestly deserved. There was a gap and the mechanism to move from strategy to product geometry was using the MFD tool with Modular Management to create modular product architecture.
Steven Paddock, former SVP of Product Development at Whirlpool.
"A very positive result for us was that we ended up actually having 80% commonality across all different applications, all industries, and all geographies and yet people in the market experienced that they had a much more flexible and configurable product than they ever had before. That was a direct result of modular product architecture."
Mart Tiismann, former regional management at Eaton Corporation and the product divisions of ESAB.
