Whirlpool Inc., US, is one of the leading manufacturers and marketers of major home appliances. The time that I spent at Whirlpool this summer was very enlightening and informative. It gave me an opportunity to see, observe, and actually be a part of the industrial set-up. It helped me understand the workings of a multinational company and gave me valuable insights into the latest materials and production technology in refrigerators. It made me aware of the current scenario in product design and development in the refrigerator industry. More importantly, it made me realise the role of a designer in the whole set-up—design is the teamwork of people from diverse fields of industrial design, engineering, and marketing.
