Can We As Engineers Learn From Ferrari's Winning Ways in Formula One?
Remarks are based on a recent "narrow aisle" tour of the Ferrari F-1
operation in Maranello,
Italy. The "clock speed" for major engineering innovation in F-1 is the
yearly design cycle. The
minor cycle is the time between races. In these cycles, design innovations
have to be
conceived, executed, and tested. These are much shorter cycles than we're
used to in the
development of automobiles but ones that are now possible with computer
modeling,
manufacturing, and the choice of the right kinds of testing regimens.
