I would have an issue with that. If marketing, management, accounting, etc. wants to have a role in the design for the machine, they can go back to school for 4 years, obtain an engineering degree, and then give their input on the design of the machine. Period. Speed Queen would not intentionally kill their reputation. Why design a machine with the notion of "make it work" to just lose all of the sales because a poor performing machine. It makes ZERO sense. The original Maytag Neptune was a great performing machine that was evolutionary and revolutionary. It had bugs that needed worked out, and a market that was not prepared for the machine as far as the differences go. Maybe Speed Queen rushed this machine too quickly? Who knows. But from the stand point of business, nobody ever would intentionally sabotage their sales and thus profits. Just imagine all the R&D that went into this machine and only resulted in a 12/100 from CR. That is poor regardless. The only easy fix for this is to increase the wash time dramatically, or go back to the old design. I guess we will see.

It's all about arrogance.
Marketing/sr. mgmt rules the roost at 90% of corporations.
Their ideas and egos run the show.
Everyone else is subservient.
The only environment I worked in where Engineering had at least an equal hand, maybe the upper hand, was Aviation.
And for good reason.
It's because of THOSE marketing/mgmt times, why I'm so "pro-regulation."
You guys think products are crap now?
Ha! You wouldn't believe the stuff that would get released by marketing/mgmt without state/federal regs or UL/ETL agency standards.
