Abstract
The limited use of Design Optimization (DO) within industry has been a longstanding problem. This paper presents the results from a survey of current practice in the use of DO conducted amongst UK companies. The findings of this survey are analysed and discussed in the quest for answers to the question: “Optimization in industry — what does industry really need?”
