In April 2013, the U.S. unemployment rate was 7.6% and did not drop as quickly in the recent recession as in past recessions. The Unemployment and Job Creation Program study informed readers that many employers could not find qualified workers. The purpose of this qualitative multiple case study was to explore hiring managers' strategies to locate and hire skilled workers in the furniture manufacturing industry. The target sample included 3 furniture manufacturers located in Huntsville, Alabama who have successfully developed and implemented strategies for hiring skilled workers. The skill shortage theory was the conceptual framework for this study. In the job market, skill was a persistent theme in the discussion of unemployment. The data collected resulted from face-to-face interviews with 3 managers in the furniture manufacturing business, transcribed interview responses, company documentation, and observation notes. Data analysis included an assessment of word frequencies, keyword coding, and theme identification. The findings included 4 themes: strategy, effective strategy, barriers, and mitigation. Implementing these recommendations may increase managers' effectiveness in hiring. Implications for social change include establishing a credible hiring strategy that provides an opportunity for increasing local employment. The benefits of industries implementing an effective hiring strategy are community awareness and less local unemployment. The employment growth strengthens the community with the increase in spending which creates a thriving economy. An increase in pay provides opportunities for higher education and better provisions for employees' families.

AbstractThe fast spreading industrialization revolution around the world has resulted in a rapid cycle of production and consumption of resources. Resulting in sustainable solutions being a fundamental need and resolutions which include efficient resources use. The concept of Circular Economy includes specific practices which take into consideration reusing resources through sustainable solutions resulting in the minimization of waste as well as the use of resources more efficiently. This study shows that organization approach circular economy in different ways, resulting in various definitions. Furthermore, the study emphasizes on the importance of developing a framework for circular economy when seeking to implement the concept. This research aims to develop a framework for the implementation of circular economy in consideration to furniture manufacturing companies. Furthermore, this research focuses on four theories: circular economy, sustainable solution, resource efficiency, and product End-of-Life (product EoL). A mixed method approach consisting of a semi-structured interview and a survey were used to help reach the aim of this study. The results from the interview two furniture manufacturing companies show that the companies use different aspects of the circular economy. In conclusion, companies with goals of being more sustainable should start considering circular economy principles from an early stage. This includes having a strict rule of only approving environmentally friendly materials. This also leads to the benefit that the practices of refurbishing and reusing allows for products to live for numerous lifetimes

The Canadian firm of Jacques & Hay was in business for fifty years, during
which the company, if The Globe (Toronto) is to be believed, furnished the Province
of Canada. This was a stunning and largely undocumented success. Jacques & Hay
was one of the largest employers in the province and dominated the cabinet-making
trade from 1835 to 1885. In 1871, Jacques & Hay employed 430 men and 50 women
in a vertically-integrated operation that included a sawmill, two factories and a
showroom. Jacques & Hay produced abundant furniture at reasonable prices. The
availability of such household furnishings greatly enhanced domestic life in

China has emerged as the leading source of capital goods for Kenya and Sub Saharan Africa as a whole, which before the noughties depended largely on advanced countries for capital goods. Thus, there is a disruption of the pattern of technology transfer to Sub Saharan Africa including Kenya. A significant aspect of this disruption is that the capital goods are being produced within a developing country context (China) and for other developing countries. This issue motivated this research, which contributes to the literature by exploring the potential impact of Chinese technologies (capital goods) on the development of other developing countries vis-à-vis the impact of technologies from advanced countries and the domestic economy. The study used both qualitative and quantitative research approaches and data from Kenya’s furniture manufacturing firms, including both formal and informal sector firms. It was found that the technologies from China (and also Kenya) are more amenable for inclusive industrial development especially with respect to employment creation and poverty reduction. These technologies are more labour intensive, compared to the advanced country technologies. They allow poor entrepreneurs to start their own businesses with a relatively high degree of automation, which they would not be able to afford if the only available technology were the technology from advanced countries. They are also pro-poor in terms of producing goods to meet the consumption needs of the poor. It was also found that the diffusion of the Chinese technology is higher among informal sector firms than among formal sector firms. However, the Chinese technology is less common than the Kenyan technology in the informal sector while the formal sector firms mainly rely on the advanced country technology. All the three technologies are transferred/ diffused mainly through arm’s length trade. The fact that the Chinese and Kenyan technologies yield a more inclusive development outcome than those from advanced countries indicates that industrial policies for developing countries should take into consideration the critical issue of technology choice.

While the cost advantages associated with outsourcing are accepted, the impact that outsourcing may have on innovation performance is ambiguous. One perspective suggests that firms outsourcing low value-adding activities will achieve higher innovation performance (that is, better designed or more technologically advanced products or more substantive process improvements) than firms that perform these activities in-house. Another view holds that firms that outsource high value-adding activities may have lower innovation performance than those firms that perform these activities in-house. While these two positions are not contradictory, neither are they complimentary. Moreover, superior innovation performance can be achieved through the effective use of innovation, or dynamic, capabilities.

Introduction: To improvement the target company’s manufacturing process by applyinglean principles, including using and analyzing the internal value stream mapping. Asmore and more companies have paid attention to implement lean thinking in theirmanufacturing process, the value stream mapping played an important role for manycompanies to make a transition from their traditional production systems to lean systems.The content and resources of this master thesis come from an American furniturecompany named KAMA which mainly produces office furniture with different components.Although there are various types of products, the authors merely focus on the officechair products. This research is an attempt to understand and analyze the problemsin the production flow on the example of KAMA’s office chair products that includesPH product family as the target research part.Purpose: The purpose of this research study is to investigate, analyze and find out solutionsfor waste-related problems in the office chair manufacturing flow of KAMA.Method: A single case study will be applied in this study paper. Data should be collectedfrom telephone interviews with company’s managements, the studying ofKAMA’s internal documentation and the secondary data from lean project report collectedby Consultant EIMI. In order to improve the production process, the valuestream mapping method will be applied to build the current value state map of CompanyKAMA and identify the potential wastes during the manufacturing process, andthen analyze and give the solutions for future improvement. Additional, other methodsincluding the order penetration point analysis, make-to-stock theory, and the CONWIPanalysis have been subsequently applied in designing a draft of the future state map.Conclusion: From the constructed current value stream mapping of KAMA officechair manufacturing process, it can be found that the most essential wastes are overproduction,waiting, unnecessary inventory and unnecessary movement. In addition, theimproper workstation arrangement and unnecessary waiting time have been identified asthe critical wasting reasons. Thus, any solutions to reduce or eliminate the identifiedwastes have been considered and would be given in the future state. In order to improvethe efficiency and reduce the unnecessary movements, adopting the appropriate cellularlayout in the mechanical workshop is quite beneficial. The mentioned methods to reducewastes have been summarized in the draft of the future state map of the company.The main benefits of the proposed future state value stream mapping are faster and accurateorder fulfillment process, reduction of unnecessary movements in workshop, lowinventory, high productivity and reduced costs in the flow of KAMA’s manufacturingprocess.

As energy prices and demand are projected to increase globally and markets become more competitive nationally and internationally; the wood products industry must find ways to remain relevant. By: 1) analyzing energy-saving recommendations contained in the IAC database; 2) comparing those recommendations by criteria such as cost, savings, and payback period; 3) identifying recommendations that incorporate lean manufacturing principles; and 4) investigating the practices and perceptions of manufacturers at the facility level, this project provides information for identifying the greatest opportunities for energy management among U.S. wood product manufacturers. Results from the analysis of the IAC database show that wood product manufacturers had a low implementation rate of energy recommendations ranked purely by cost, savings, and payback period among wood product manufacturers suggesting they were not focused on implementing energy recommendations specifically based on those criteria. While some recommendations were found to be statistically different in at least one criteria: cost, savings, or payback period between wood and non-wood manufactures as well as primary and secondary wood manufacturers, only two recommendations had practical differences, large payback periods, between primary and secondary wood manufacturers. Twenty-four of 192 energy recommendations were classified as lean-based energy recommendations using the Kirby and Green (2003) methodology, however, there was no clear evidence to suggest the lean-based energy recommendations were superior in terms of cost, savings, or payback period when compared to simple energy recommendations. Interviews with primary and secondary manufacturers revealed a lack of commitment to energy performance improvement and the reported barriers of implementation among a small sample of wood products manufacturers suggests that the dissemination of energy management knowledge and benefits is a problem.Master of Science

Since the emergence and the subsequent evolution of lean manufacturing concepts, numerous enterprises of different scale and specialties have adopted lean tools and techniques in their facilities with varying success. In general, lean manufacturing related studies have been conducted on large manufacturing firms, such as the automotive industry. Yet, lean manufacturing tools and techniques are also suited for small enterprises. Thus, the main concern of this study is to investigate the success of set-up time reduction efforts (one of the steps needed to achieve 'one-piece flow') in secondary wood products manufacturing facilities on four woodworking machines (moulder, shaper, table saw, and band saw) based on firm size.
The first objective of this research is to explore the results of the implementation of set-up time reduction efforts on selected woodworking machines in enterprises of varying size. It is assumed that company size is a major factor influencing the rate of set-up time improvements. To that end, the first hypothesis, which states that 'Small firms are less successful in reducing set-up time through set-up time reduction efforts than are large firms,' has been developed and supportive questions have been corresponding created. While statistical testing of the hypotheses created for this is not possible due to the limited number of participants, speculations about the possible outcome can be made. Thus, for hypothesis one, the data obtained does not show any sign of a relationship between a firm size and the success rate of set-up time reduction efforts.
The second objective of this study is to investigate how a firm's productivity is affected by set-up time reduction efforts as related to firm size. With regards to some of the weaknesses of typical small manufacturing firms (e.g. having limited budget and resources, intuitive management strategies including lack of strategic planning), large firms, by and large, are expected to be more successful in increasing productivity through set-up time reduction. To that end, the goal is to investigate results of the set-up time reduction efforts in terms of productivity improvement in manufacturing facilities. With this in mind, the second hypothesis was proposed, which reads 'Small firms achieve lower productivity gains through set-up time reduction than do large firms.' For the second hypothesis, while no conclusive proof can be offered, no sign of a relationship between firm size and productivity gain through set-up time reduction could be found.
Another objective of this study is to explore the success rate of set-up time activities on the four types of woodworking machines in industry facilities considering the training activities provided by manufacturers. The aim is to compare set-up time improvement performance of manufacturers between enterprises which trained their workers/operators and enterprises which did not train their employees. To understand the relationship between the scale of firms (and/or facilities) and training activities to improve set-ups, the third hypothesis, which reads 'Small firms are less concerned with set-up time reduction through training than are large firms,' has been developed. For the third hypothesis, while testing is not possible, it appears that there is no relationship between firm size and the level of concern for set-up time reduction through training activities.
The final objective of this research is to investigate whether the secondary wood manufacturing firms studied experienced a bottleneck in their production due to the long set-up actions of machines. In order to accomplish this objective, the final hypothesis, 'In both, large and small firms, bottlenecks occur at machines with high set-up times,' has been developed. The final hypothesis cannot be accepted or rejected due to the limited number of responses obtained, set-up time was a frequently indicated explanation for the occurrence of production bottlenecks in secondary wood products manufacturing firms.Master of Science

Today, learning spaces are stuck in the industrial age with rows of desks and chairs. Differentiated teaching and personalised learning are not effective in traditional learning spaces and should focus on creating future classrooms (Kariippanon, 2017). This thesis is covering how furnishing for learning environments can be improved and designed through a participatory design process with Katedralskolan in Växjö by using recycled materials and additive manufacturing technology. The thesis is also exploring the opportunities of involving stakeholders to create new learning through the additive manufacturing process in interior and furniture design. Together with Katedralskolan and Sculptur, this project is exploring a concept for schools to have integrated education in interior design through semiotics that will contribute to students’ learning and explore large-scale additive manufacturing. The objective is to design a collection of interior products that will inform and communicate at an educational level and how a circular manufacturing technique is possible through 3D-printing using communicating design and semiotics. The aim is also to understand Sculptur’s product development- and manufacturing process through large-scale 3D-printing. The mission statement whereas follows: Develop a furniture concept based on an understanding of the needs of, and participation with, the user group in a co-design process as a case to study the large-scale additive manufacturing techniques together with the given conditions provided by Sculptur. The thesis process has been following an iterative design process called the design thinking process (The Interaction Design Foundation, 2021) and a co-designing process (Sanders, 2018). The design thinking process is a design methodology that provides a solution-based approach to solving problems. The five stages of Design Thinking are as follows: Empathise, Define, Ideate, Prototype, Test. Through studies, surveys, and observations a list of stakeholder needs was created and was used when developing ideas through workshops, drawings, and prototyping. The ideas were then developed into concepts that were tested through both desktop 3D-printing and large-scale additive manufacturing. The concepts were also evaluated by stakeholders as well as through a concept evaluating matrix (Wikberg N., et.al., 2015). The result of this master thesis is the conclusion of the furniture concept as well as the study of large-scale additive manufacturing as an industrial designer. The furniture concept “Unfold lounge chair” is based on stakeholder needs and manufacturing restrictions. It is also an attempt to use theory to make the next generation of pedagogical furnishings using sustainable and circular manufacturing techniques. Through design thinking, the master thesis result was created with a human-centred approach to integrate the needs of people, the possibilities of technology and the requirements for business success (IDEO, n.d.).Idag sitter läromiljöer fast i den industriella epoken med rader av skrivbord och stolar. Differentierad undervisning och personlig inlärning är inte effektiv i traditionella läromiljöer och bör vara i fokus för att skapa framtidens klassrum (Kariippanon, 2017). Detta examensarbete tar upp hur inredning för inlärningsmiljöer kan förbättras och utformas genom en deltagande designprocess med Katedralskolan i Växjö med hjälp av återvunna material och additiv tillverkningsteknik. Arbetet har också undersökt möjligheterna att involvera intressenter för att skapa nytt lärande genom tillämpning av additiv tillverkning inom inredning och möbeldesign. Tillsammans med Katedralskolan och Sculptur har detta projekt undersökt ett koncept för skolor att ha integrerad utbildning i möbler genom semiotik och pedagogisk design som kommer att bidra till elevernas lärande samt utforska storskalig additiv tillverkning. Målet är att utforma en samling möbelkoncept som informerar och kommunicerar på utbildningsnivå och hur en cirkulär tillverkningsteknik är möjlig genom 3D-printnig med hjälp av kommuniationsdesign och semiotik. Målet är också att förstå Sculpturs produktutvecklings- och tillverkningsprocess genom storskalig additiv tillverkning. Projektets Mission statement var följande: Utveckla ett möbelkoncept baserat på en förståelse av behoven hos användargruppen i en samdesignprocess som ett fall för att studera storskalig additiv tillverkning tillsammans med de givna förutsättningarna från Sculptur. Examensarbetet har följt en iterativ designprocess som kallas design thinking process (The Interaction Design Foundation, 2021) tillsammans med en co-designprocess (Sanders, 2018). Design thinking är en designmetodik som ger en lösningsbaserad metod för att lösa problem. De fem faserna i design thinking är följande: Empathise, Define, Ideate, Prototype, Test. Genom studier, undersökningar och observationer skapades en lista över intressenters behov och användes när idéer utvecklades genom workshops, skisser och prototyper. Idéerna utvecklades sedan till koncept som sedan testades genom både mindre 3D-utskrift och storskalig additiv tillverkning. Koncepten utvärderades också av intressenter samt genom en konceptviktningsmatris (Wikberg N., et.al., 2015). Resultatet av detta examensarbete är sammanfattningen av möbelkonceptet samt studien av storskalig additiv tillverkning som industridesigner. Möbelkonceptet ”Unfold lounge chair” bygger på intressenternas behov samt tillverkningsrestriktioner. Det är också ett försök att använda teori för att skapa nästa generation av pedagogiska möbler med hållbara och cirkulära tillverkningstekniker. Genom design thinking skapades resultatet med ett mänskligt centrerat tillvägagångssätt för att integrera människors behov, teknikens möjligheter och kraven för produktens framgång (IDEO, n.d.).

Denna magisteruppsats har genomförts vid Spaljisten AB och behandlar produktionsfilosofin Lean-produktion
och produktionskonceptet TPM. Huvudobjektet för studierna var en maskinlinje för sågning, kantlistning, fräsning
och borrning av planmöbeldetaljer (Homag VI). En nulägesanalys genomfördes för att kartlägga stopporsaker
och OEE-talet (35,9 %). Inom samtliga klasser av stopptider är det framförallt kortvariga avbrott (81 %), vilket
tyder på kroniska fel i linjen. Tillsammans med maskinlinjens personal genomfördes en störningsanalys
(Ishikawadiagram). Nulägesanalys och störningsanalys visar på en förbättringspotential av 33 % för ökad
tillgänglighet. Vidare genomfördes en SMED-analys där själva analysarbetet genomfördes tillsammans med
personalen av maskinlinjen. Vid en närmare analys kunde det föreslås en klassificering av IED respektive OED
samt förenklingar som innebär en minskning av tidsåtgången med 55 min. och 43 sek för omställningen. Utöver
detta studerades bland annat verktyg som Lean-uppstart och kommunikation, operatörsunderhåll, 5S och
ständiga förbättringar. Det genomfördes en effektivitetsanalys av förbättringsgruppenverksamheten. Vid den
sistnämnda analysen konstaterades motivationsproblem hos personalen, som har sin huvudförklaring i ett
saknande av en organisatorisk plan och en planering för införandet av nya produktionsformer. Uppsatsen
rymmer en utförlig sammanfattning på svenska, engelska och tyska.
The master thesis has been realized in direct contact with the host company Spaljisten AB, Åseda Sweden and
is dealing with the production philosophy Lean production and the production concept TPM. Main object for the
studies was a machine line for processing of furniture details (Homag VI). An actual condition analysis has been
done to determinate stop reasons and the OEE (35.9 %). In all classes of stop reasons occur mainly short stops
(81 %) those indicate chronic problems in the line. Together with the employees of the line Homag VI was a fault
analysis done (Ishikawa diagram). Actual condition analysis and fault analysis can generate a potential of
improvement of 33 % for increased availability. Furthermore was a SMED analysis done where the main work of
analyzing was done together with the employees of the line. By a deeper analysis a classification of IED and
OED respectively could be done including even simplifications that led to a reducing of time for set up of 55
minutes and 43 seconds. Also tools like the Lean start up and communication, operator’s maintenance, 5S,
constant improvements have been studied. An efficiency analysis of the kaizen groups was done that shows that
a lack of motivation exists among the employees. The main explanation for this is that the company does not
have a plan for the organisation structure and neither a plan for implementation of new production forms. The
work contains an extended summary in English, German and Swedish.

PONTIFÍCIA UNIVERSIDADE CATÓLICA DO RIO DE JANEIROO propósito geral da pesquisa é gerar conhecimento sobre como e por que alcançar um produto de classe mundial na indústria de transformação brasileira, locus do design industrial, com foco conclusivo na indústria do móvel residencial de madeira maciça. Isto é importante pelo fato da indústria de transformação ser o setor de maior capacidade indutora da economia, sendo este seu valor estratégico, e por trazer a ideia de resgate da indústria diante do processo de desindustrialização. A pré-condição para esta proposta é que a indústria seja competitiva a nível internacional e para tal iremos precisar de produtos de classe mundial. A pesquisa é um estudo de caso envolvendo quatro indústrias do móvel residencial de madeira maciça para validar a hipótese de que a conjunção simultânea do design como ferramenta estratégica para os negócios, produção enxuta e incorporação de tecnologia digital no ecossistema da indústria cria as condições favoráveis para o alcance de um produto de classe mundial. A escolha dos casos foi feita de modo a propiciar replicações da teoria prevista. Utilizamos sete categorias de fontes de dados e adotamos a estratégia de seguir nossa proposição teórica que forneceu subsídios ao plano de coleta de dados. Como técnica analítica demos forte ênfase à sobreposição entre coleta e análise, através de percepções registradas ao lado dos dados em matrizes de exposição. Estas também trazem as consistências com a literatura revisada e as evidências entre os casos, de onde extraímos os padrões cruzados que resultaram em um conjunto de balizadores de referência para o alcance de um produto de classe mundial. A conclusão traz os casos selecionados mostrando resultados similares e proporcionando assim consistência com nossas proposições teóricas. Como toda pesquisa, esta também apresenta limitações a serem exploradas: promover generalização analítica com outras tipologias de indústrias de transformação, com outras categorias de indústrias pois as quatro selecionadas são indústrias familiares, e que os balizadores de referência não se esgotam nos encontrados, com novos podendo ser mapeados.
The overall purpose of this research is to generate knowledge on how and why to achieve a world-class product in the Brazilian manufacturing industry, locus of industrial design, with conclusive focus on the solid wood residential furniture industry. This is important because the manufacturing industry is the sector with the greatest inductive capacity of the economy, this being its strategic value, and for bringing the idea of industry rescue in the face of deindustrialization process. The precondition for this proposal is that the industry is internationally competitive and for that we will need world-class products. The research is a case study involving four industries of solid wood residential furniture to validate the hypothesis that the simultaneous conjunction of design as a strategic tools for business, lean manufacturing and incorporation of digital technology into the industry ecosystem creates favourable conditions to reach a world class product. The choice of cases was made in order to provide for replications of the predicted theory. We used seven categories of data sources and adopted the strategy of following our theoretical proposition that provided subsides to the data collection plan. As an analytical technique we strong emphasis on the overlap between collection and analysis through perceptions recorded alongside the data on display matrix. This also brings the consistencies with the revised literature and the evidence between the cases from where we extracted the cross-patterns that resulted in a list of reference beacons for reaching a world-class product. The conclusion brings the selected cases showing similar results and thus providing consistency with our theoretical propositions. Like all research this one also presents limitations to be explored: to promote analytical generalization with other typologies of manufacturing industries, with other categories of industries since the four selected ones are familiar industries and that the reference beacons are not exhausted in the found ones, with new ones being mapped.

This thesis provides insight to the dynamics that come with the emergence of IoT in the furniture and kitchen manufacturing industry. The study is empirically grounded in an explorative case study that involves interviews with six manufacturing companies in the different industry sectors. The purpose has been to shed light on how incumbent companies adapt and implement IoT and the study highlight product features, aspects and challenges that companies are investigating and dealing with as they set out to work with IoT and connected products. The results indicate that companies are viewing IoT as an enabler that better can respond to customer needs and provide users with new experiences. By implementing the concept of IoT companies are currently evaluating how internal knowledge and skillsets correspond to the new technical requirements that the emerging digital setting outlines and by directing internal research they are learning more about IoT and connected products as they proceed. One current major problem is that there are no open protocols that can connect all products regardless of supplier. Nevertheless, implementation of IoT does not solely involve technical aspects and companies are also faced with the dilemma on how to design and develop corresponding commercial processes. To this point early product implementations have arrived on the consumer markets and the future vision is to achieve full integration that imbeds connectivity and interaction among all products in the home.

During the last decades, the U.S. wood products (NAICS 321) and furniture manufacturing (NAICS 337) industries have been greatly affected by economic cycles, rising production and transportation costs, changing buyer habits, and, arguably, most powerfully, increasing global competition. As a result, tens of thousands of jobs were lost and a large number of companies in the industry experienced bankruptcy, closed operations, or relocated to other countries. However, theories exist stating that the use of management systems, such as, for example, Lean management, allows companies to become more competitive and enhance the likelihood of survival.
A mail survey was conducted to investigate companies in Virginia's wood products and furniture manufacturing industries as to their awareness of Lean management, the implementation of Lean practices, as well as the companies' need for support in Lean implementation efforts.
Findings indicate that a majority of Virginia's wood products and furniture manufacturing industries have heard about terms like, for example, Lean management, Lean manufacturing, or Lean thinking, but are rarely aware of individual Lean elements of which Lean consists. Few businesses thus have implemented Lean. However, findings show that Lean awareness and Lean implementation status differs between individual industry sub-segments. The group of industry segments with the highest Lean awareness and Lean implementation status were "engineered wood products," "manufactured homes," and "household furniture manufacturing," as opposed to industry sub-segments such as "sawmill" and "wood container and pallets," which had lower Lean awareness and Lean implementation status. The study also revealed that smaller companies (less than 50 employees) have a lower level of Lean awareness and implementation status than do larger companies (50-499 employees). Despite the low level of Lean implementation across the wood products and furniture manufacturing industry in Virginia, less than one-fourth of all respondents indicated a need for Lean implementation support.Master of Science

The process of product development is an important factor to boost a company's competitive edge and has become increasingly critical due to the growing range and reduced lifecycle of products. A process of product development that adds value to the customer by eliminating waste becomes strategic for the competitiveness of companies. In this context, this research aims at analyzing the process of product development in six furniture companies in the Bento Gonçalves hub. Therefore, we developed an exploratory research through multiple case studies in which data was collected through interviews. According to the references and the analysis performed, we based our study on the Toyota Product Development System described by Morgan and Liker (2008), which discusses waste elimination and customer added value. The contribution of this work is the presentation of a study to analyze product development in furniture companies under the approach of the Toyota Product Development System, since these companies operate in demanding markets that require speed, range and competitive prices. Thus, the study contributes to the extent that its application can bring benefits to companies so as to help them understand what customers consider a value, identifying the Toyota Product Development System as a feasible possibility to analyze product development in the furniture companies.

Previous issue date: 2012-06-01Apparently, the small wood furniture factories have an outdated organization of production, however, they are active in the market for quite some time. In order to understand how the manufacturing strategy of small wood furniture factories helps these companies to stay in the market, this paper studies the content of manufacturing strategy, its alignment with the competitive strategy and with the production system. A research methodology combined a cross-sectional exploratory survey with 40 companies and a multiple case research in three companies. It was observed that the manufacturing strategy adopted is aligned with the competitive strategy of companies. It was observed also that the production system is suitable for manufacturing strategy, but results in some incompatibility with the delivery performance and cost. The main limitation of this study is the geographic concentration of companies participants.
Aparentemente, as marcenarias apresentam uma organização produtiva desatualizada, no entanto, elas estão ativas no mercado há bastante tempo. Visando entender como a estratégia de produção adotada pelas microempresas de marcenaria contribui a permanência dessas empresas no mercado, este trabalho estuda o conteúdo de estratégia de produção, seu alinhamento com a estratégia competitiva e com o sistema de produção. Como metodologia de pesquisa combinou-se um levantamento exploratório transversal com 40 empresas e um Estudo de Caso múltiplo em três empresas.

Denna studie undersöker de estetiska värderingarna av materialet trä i möbelproduktion och hur det påverkar materialåtgången. Tidigare forskning har främst undersökt träslaget furu och det estetiska urvalet som händer redan i träproduktion. Resultat i denna studie har visat att ett så homogent material som möjligt är att föredra, utan kvistar, färgförändring och ojämn fiberriktning. Större produktionsbolag ser till att spillmaterial som blir över efter sortering blir pappersmassa eller spån. Möbeltillverkare har inte resurser för att ge sitt spill ett andra liv utan eldar upp det. Liknande studier har kommit fram till att det finns estetiska preferenser på trä men inte hur man kan påverka konsumentens val. Hur kan man genom design förändra den estetiska värderingen kring valet av material och förhindra onödigt svinn? Syftet med detta projekt är att genom kritisk design belysa problematiken kring hur vi konsumerar material utifrån estetiska värderingar och konsekvenserna det medför. Kvalitativa metoder i form av expertintervjuer har gjorts för att samla information om hur möbelproducenter väljer sitt material utifrån estetiska preferenser. Resultatet påvisar att en möbel kan generera spill på upp till 70 procent av en planka. Ur ett hållbarhetsperspektiv är det viktigt att visa på de negativa följderna som kommer av att välja bort ett värdefullt material för att det inte är estetiskt tilltalande.This study examines the aesthetic values of the material wood in furniture manufacturing and how it affects material consumption. Previous research has mainly examined the wood species pine and the aesthetic selection that occurs in wood production. Results in this study have shown that a homogeneous material as possible is preferable, without knots, irregular coloration, and uneven grain. Larger production companies ensure that waste material that remains after sorting becomes pulp or flakes. Furniture manufacturers do not have the resources to give their waste another life, instead they burning the wood for heat. Similar studies have concluded that there are aesthetic preferences on wood but not how to influence consumer choice. How can design change the aesthetic value of the choice of material and prevent unnecessary waste? The purpose of this project is to shed light on the problem of how we consume materials based on aesthetic values and the consequences it has through a critical design perspective. Qualitative methods in the form of expert interviews have been made to gather information on how furniture manufacturers choose their materials based on aesthetic preferences. The results show that a piece of furniture can generate wood waste up to 70 percent of a plank. From a sustainability perspective, it is important to point out the negative consequences that will opt out of a valuable material because it is not aesthetically pleasing.

Estudos da área de melhores práticas de produção têm revelado que a implementação de práticas idênticas em firmas diferentes pode conduzir a níveis de desempenhos distintos. É sugerida, pela literatura consultada, uma discussão mais apropriada das melhores práticas para contextos específicos. O objetivo principal desta pesquisa é avaliar o relacionamento entre práticas (ou programas de ação) implantadas e a estratégia de produção e, também, analisar os efeitos das práticas sobre a melhoria de indicadores de desempenho operacional e de negócio em empresas do setor moveleiro no Brasil. O objetivo secundário é, por intermédio da análise desses relacionamentos, analisar se tais práticas podem ser consideradas as melhores práticas no contexto do setor pesquisado. Foi elaborado um modelo conceitual com cinco hipóteses de pesquisas, baseado na revisão da literatura. A pesquisa de campo consistiu de uma survey explanatória e de corte-transversal. Os dados foram coletados por meio de entrevistas, observações diretas no chão-de-fábrica e, também, mediante questionário estruturado respondido pela internet. Noventa e nove firmas participaram da pesquisa. A técnica usada para a análise dos dados foi a modelagem de equações estruturais com o método de estimação dos mínimos quadrados ponderados. Os resultados indicaram que (a) práticas de produção em diferentes áreas afetam direta e indiretamente indicadores de performance operacional e de negócio; (b) a implantação conjunta de práticas de infra-estrutura dão suporte às práticas-chave que estimulam a melhoria da performance de diferentes indicadores de indicadores; (c) em geral as práticas de produção influenciam diretamente, com maior magnitude, o desempenho operacional que o desempenho de negócio, uma vez que esse último é afetado indiretamente pelas práticas, por intermédio da melhoria do desempenho operacional; (d) práticas nas áreas de desenvolvimento de novos produtos, recursos humanos, gestão de qualidade e planejamento e controle de produção podem ser consideradas como melhores práticas para o contexto estudado, conforme análise da pesquisadora por meio da revisão da literatura.Studies in the area of best practices have shown that the implementation of identical practices in different companies may result in diverse performance levels. Studies also suggest the need for deeper analysis of best practices for specific contexts. The main objective of this work is twofold. It analyses the relationship between manufacturing strategy and production practices. It also investigates the effects of such practices on the improvement on business and operational performance indicators in brazilian furniture companies. The secondary objective is to investigate whether such production practices can be considered indeed the best practices for the furniture industry. A conceptual model, with five research hypotheses, has been elaborated following thorough literature review. The empirical research consisted of an explanatory cross-sectional survey. Data have been collected during interviews and direct observations on the shop-floor from 99 furniture companies. Some data have also been collected from online questionnaire available on the internet. The technique used for data analysis was the structural equation modeling (SEM) with the weighted least square (WLS) estimation method. Results indicated that (a) practices of production in different areas direct and indirectly affect operational performance indicators of specific and general areas and also firm indicators; (b) the joint adoption of infrastructure supports key practices that stimulate improved performance of different indicators; (c) most of the practices of production influence operational performance directly and with greater magnitude than firm performance, as this last one is affected indirectly by the practices, through improved operational performance; and (d) practices in the area of development of new products, human resources, production planning and control and quality management were could be considered best practices in the context under study, in accordance with the analyzes of the researcher and theory review.

The main purposes of this study were (1) to acquire a deep understanding of Material Requirements Planning(MRP) and the problems of applying MRP to furniture manufacturing, and (2) to build an improved MRP model for use in the furniture manufacturing industry in Taiwan. The research method in this study is to separate the software system and data bank; a standard flowchart of material requirements was built in software system. The software system was built in the main modules by processing of the standard flowchart, and submodules were established according to their functions. Step by step, hundreds of submodules were created in the software systems. On the other hand, the data bank structure was obtained by regularized theory. The resulting MRP system can rapidly determine the net requirements, bill of materials, order forms, input/output material bill, finished sheet and related items. The system will print out the main production bill, the master production schedule and the bill of material requirements. This result of MRP system will adapt to the dynamic requirement of order production in small business of furniture making in Taiwan. Although, the furnisher lacks of the requirement of information software, the result of this study is easily employed as system modules under the requirement, such as accounting system, input or sales system etc. It will improve by different requirement to become a useful software system for furniture manufacturing industry.

Deeply understanding the situation of MRP (Material Requirements Planning) in furnisher is the purpose of this thesis; in addition, the positive research of MRP and its remarkable advantages while being applied to furnisher is also the same significant aspect in the content. The final goal will aim at unifying practice and theory. After actually visiting factories, I induced the data to 20 points, among which are the information that the former five points mentioned mostly belongs to the description of process as well as the latter fifteen points focus on the problems that the factories will face while executing MRP, that is, the problem may occur in practically applying MRP theory. In the process of position study, each file structure of MRP is obtained by regularized theory. There are two purposes for this regularization :one is for maintaining the completeness of file structure in database; the other is for preventing the data from re-saving in different database. Then , the data will acquired by the relation rule of relation database and figured out according to the purpose of program . At last, Objected- oriented program is applied to expand each sub-system of MRP as the tool of every kind of data. By the result that MRP, simulated, it can rapidly figure out the net requirements. And the information that it offers to controller : Which material is demanded? When is each material asked to finish preparing? How many quantities are needed? Further more , "List of Item code order" as well as "List of Requirement Day" are employed as basis of purchases and stock management, penetrating the importance of MRP in furniture manufacturing industry.

The main purpose of this study is to apply computer simulation to the improvement of furniture manufacturing process, with the expectation that we can apply computer technology to furniture manufacturing industry to promote the efficiency of production, and increase the competition ability. The object of this study is the furniture factories making desks and chairs for primary and high school. At first, we carried out the time study, analyzed the manufacturing flow chart and working-hour, and then built up the basic simulation model to find out the bottleneck of the original manufacturing flow chart, and brought up a better flow chart to simulate in order to achieve improvement. The experimental results are summarized as follows: 1.The result of time study by stopwatch method was the standard process time of a school desk was 23 min 44 sec, a school chair was 26 min 50 sec. 2.By synthesizing each improvement program we could get that: the major bottleneck of process in the factory was tenon hole and sanding angle, and we combined the two same tenon holes in a double-end mortiser and increased the manpower to sanding angle. Both of them could promote the efficiency of production. 3.The real factory operation result of the manufacturing flow chart “TBL1-1” was the same as the result of our simulation. By applying computer simulation we could decide the bottleneck of the operation flow chart, and by the high-speed operation ability of computer, we could input different machine configuration of furniture manufacture to simulate the real operation in order to get better results; it could be proved by this study: it was reliable to apply simulation to furniture manufacture, which it reflected the real situation; the suitable operation flow chart could increase the efficiency of production and cut down the cost.

in this study will aid OSB manufacturers in improving their market situation within the
industrial sector. This study also provides OSB manufacturers with some
recommendations for marketing strategies to help them improve their product's market
position within this highly competitive market.
A list of 973 door and 894 office furniture manufacturers across North America were
selected using simple random sampling. The adjusted response rate for office furniture
and door manufacturers combined gave an outcome of 11.86%. Although this response
rate is slightly on the low side, it is sufficient to make inferences onto the population.
The two surveys were divided into four main sections: 1) Company Information; 2)
Material Used in Doors/Office Furniture; 3) Wood Panels Use in Door/Office Furniture;
4) OSB Use in Door/Office Furniture Manufacturing. Although the focus of this study
was to find industrial manufacturers' level of awareness, perception, and use of OSB
products, for the sake of comparison, some steps were taken to gather information on
competing products, as well.
Results of this study clearly show that office furniture manufacturers have higher
consumption rates and knowledge of wood-based panel products compared to door
manufacturers. On the other hand, door manufacturers seem to have more acceptance of
solid wood products over wood-based panel products. The study showed that OSB's
market share within the office furniture and door sector was fairly low. There are two
possible explanations for this outcome. The first includes industrial manufacturers' low
familiarity with OSB products. More than half of the respondents indicated that they had
no familiarity with OSB products and its attributes. For those familiar with OSB
products, technical problems (please refer to result section) was the main reason for not
using the product. Some recommendations have been made to OSB manufacturers in
terms of strategies to use to enhance OSB's market position within the industrial
marketplace. These include emphasizing on OSB's strengths and improving its technical
problems, stabilizing OSB prices, forming partnership with industrial manufacturers and
displaying the final products in trade shows and show rooms.

Dissertação de mestrado integrado em Engenharia e Gestão IndustrialO presente projeto de dissertação enquadra-se no âmbito do curso de Mestrado Integrado em Engenharia e Gestão Industrial, no 2º semestre do 5º ano da Universidade do Minho. Este trabalho foi desenvolvido numa indústria de mobiliário, a IKEA Industry, tendo como objetivo a redução de custos e desperdícios na área produtiva Foil & Wrap (F&W) através da implementação de práticas da filosofia Lean Manufacturing (LM), uma vez que estas favorecem a inovação e melhoria contínua entre as empresas. Para tal, recorreu-se à metodologia de investigação-ação. Inicialmente realizou-se uma investigação detalhada sobre a filosofia LM, princípios, tipos de desperdícios, benefícios, barreiras e ferramentas, como o Standard Work, SMED, Poka-Yoke, 5’S e Gestão Visual. Depois de uma breve apresentação e caracterização da empresa, a área produtiva F&W foi analisada detalhadamente de forma a diagnosticar e identificar os principais problemas existentes. No que diz respeito à fase de diagnóstico, foram utilizadas várias ferramentas das quais se destacam a análise ABC, diagrama SIPOC, diagrama de Causa-Efeito e VSM. Posteriormente identificaram-se algumas propostas de melhoria com o intuito de solucionar os problemas encontrados através da análise do sistema produtivo, sendo que algumas delas foram implementadas no decorrer do projeto e outras serão apenas mais tarde. Assim, muitas das melhorias implementadas estão relacionadas com a criação de instruções de trabalho normalizadas, que todos os colaboradores possam seguir e compreender. Neste sentido, a maioria das sugestões não acarretam custos significativos para a empresa. Outras propostas passaram pela organização da área produtiva, envolvendo 5’S e Gestão Visual, sendo de salientar a motivação, envolvência e participação dos colaboradores. Deste modo, com a implementação de todas as sugestões de melhoria e comparando os resultados obtidos no mês de Dezembro com os do mês de Junho, conseguiu-se uma diminuição no tempo de paragem em 19,95 horas que se traduz num ganho de 332 766€. Em relação aos tempos de setup, obteve-se uma redução de 10,09 horas, o que equivale a um ganho de 168 301€. No que diz respeito à qualidade dos produtos, verificou-se uma redução de 4 050 produtos não conformes. Relativamente aos valores de sucata, obteve-se uma diminuição significativa de 44 976€. Quanto ao indicador Eficiência e OEE, a melhoria atingida foi de 10,7% e 11,95%, respetivamente.
This dissertation project is part of an integrated Masters in Industrial Engineering and Management, in the 2nd semester of the 5th year of the University of Minho. This research was developed in the furniture industry, IKEA Industry, with the objective of reducing costs and waste in Foil & Wrap (F&W) productive area, through the implementation of Lean Manufacturing (LM) philosophy practices, since these encourage innovation and continuous improvement among firms. To this end, the methodology of action research was used. Initially was carried out a detailed investigation on the LM philosophy, principles, types of waste, benefits, barriers and tools such as Standard work, SMED, Poka-Yoke, 5'S and Visual Management. After a brief presentation and characterization of the company, the productive area F&W was analyzed in detail in order to diagnose and identify major problems. In the diagnostic phase, various tools were used such as ABC analysis, SIPOC diagram, Cause-Effect diagram and VSM. After that the following proposals were identified for improvement in order to solve the problems through the analysis of the production system, some of which were implemented during the project and others will be only at a later stage. Thus, many of the improvements implemented are related to the creation of standardized work instructions, which all employees can follow and understand. In this sense, most of the suggestions do not entail significant costs for the company. Other proposals passed by the organization of the productive area, involving 5'S and Visual Management, emphasizing motivation, involvement and participation of the employees. This way, with the implementation of all suggestions for improvement and comparing the results obtained in the month of December with the month of June we managed to decrease 19,95 hours in downtime in which translates into a gain of € 332,766. Regarding the setup times, it was reduced in 10,09 hours, which equates to a cost of € 168,301. Concerning to product quality, there was a reduction of 4050 in the non-compliant products. Regarding scrap values, was obtained a significant decrease of € 44,976. As for the Efficiency indicator and OEE, the improvement achieved was 10,7% and 11,95%, respectively.

Submitted in partial fulfillment of Master’s Degree in Management Sciences (Business and Administration), Durban University of Technology, Durban, South Africa, 2016.Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) in South Africa (SA) contribute significantly to job creation, wealth, social stability and economic growth. Growth is stimulated endogenously, through motivation, while employment is a natural consequence of a larger number of SMEs as well as the expansion of small businesses into larger enterprises. Although it has been noted that SMEs are viable avenues through which jobs can be created, relatively few studies have explicitly investigated the link between intrinsic motivation and small business growth; this study filled the gap by exploring the impact of intrinsic motivation on SMEs’ growth. This is particularly important when one considers that the failure rate of SMEs in SA is very high and it is of great importance to investigate the factors that can impact on the growth of SMEs. Why some individuals are more successful in business than others is a major question in SME research. The common view is that there are a numbers of factors involved related to the entrepreneur or business owners and the business and the business environment. Building on the concept of human capital and psychological theories, this study investigated the influence of intrinsic motivational factors in SME business growth in the eThekwini Metropolitan Area, in South Africa. The target population for this study was SMEs in the furniture manufacturing sector. Based on census study, the sample size of the study was 68 owners of SMEs in the eThekwini Metropolitan Area. Both primary and secondary data sources were used in the study. A quantitative research design was adopted to conduct this research. The survey method, by way of a self-administered questionnaire, was used to collect primary data. Various techniques such as descriptive statistics, Analysis of Variances (ANOVA), factor analysis, Chi-square, and regression analysis were used to analyse the data. The findings of this study revealed that intrinsic motivational factors of SME managers positively impact on the growth of SMEs in SA. The findings further revealed that creativity and necessary entrepreneurial skills influence implementation of sustainable growth of SMEs, and the entrepreneur’s success depends on the identification of crucial entrepreneurial skills for starting a business as well as for helping the business to survive and grow in the early years. Therefore, capacity building for SME owners to sustain business growth is recommended.

The competition between enterprises has become more intense with the rapid development in networking information technology and the competitive globalization trends. How to reduce the uncertainty of the external environment and to maintain the market and long-term cooperative relationship with customers so as to achieve the goal of sustainable management by steady growth and profitability have become the main subjects of enterprise governance in the twenty-first century. This study is based on a case study of Taiwanese traditional industries and forcuses on the implementation of relationship governance consists of level control and common activity between the enterprise and its customers. Aiming on the connection between relationship governance and relationship quality determinant of satisfaction, trust and commitment, we extend to explore the association between relationship quality and customer loyalty. All variables for all measured dimensions in this study are from the reference of the relationship governance of Zaheer and Venkatraman (1995), Heide and John (1990), Wang Dian Wei (2008) and so on. They are the references for the measured dimensions for level control and joint activities. The references for the relationship quality are from Crosby, Evans and Cowles (1990), Anderson and Narus (1990), Reynold and Beatty (1999), Wang Dian Wei (2008), Wang Dong Jia(2008) and so on. They are the references for the measured dimensions for satisfaction, trust and commitment.The main references for customer loyalty are from Berry and Parasuraman (1996), Henning-Thuran, Gwinner and Gremler (2002), Wu Shi-hao (2004),Lin Yao Nan, Xu Da Kang (2008) and so on. This study was procceded with questionnaire. The valid subjects were selected from the customer database of the case enterprise. Through various analysis, the results of this study find that relationship governance positively affects relationship quality, and that relationship quality positively affects customer loyalty, and that relationship governance has positive effect on customer loyalty. It indicates that as an enterprise enhances the application of relationship governance to the customers, the relationship quality between the company and its customers would be upgraded accordingly. Moreover, the uplift of the main factors of relationship quality between an enterprise and its customers such as satisfaction, trust and commitment would have significant impact on customer loyalty. The enhancement of good interactive relationship between the organizations is helpful to manage long-term relationship with each other so as to build and positive influence customer loyalty. Finally, according to the related research results, we propose some suggestion to the relevant industries. We hope our suggestion can be referred to while making strategies to maintain customer relationship so as to build a good theoretical model for business research.

Taiwanese business people whose factories were facing difficulties in Taiwan has been gradually moved factories and formed clustering in Ho Chi Minh City, Binh Duong and Dong Nai Provinces in Vietnam. Hence, this research takes Taiwanese furniture manufacture as an example to investigate into what kind of factors induce Taiwanese business people to settle down in these three locations then make cooperation; and what are the state and the types of the industrial clustering in these three locations. The study designs the research structure so called ‘three pyramids and trapezoid model’. The result is found that the Taiwanese furniture factories settled on these three locations because of national resources and the surrounding subcontractors. As under the ‘three pyramids and trapezoid model’ research structure, the Ho Chi Minh City and the Dong Nai Province are formed the type of industrial clustering so called ‘individual solidify’, and the Binh Duong Province formed the type of industrial clustering called ‘policy-factory harmony’ and ‘individual solidify’. The unique of the Ho Chi Minh City is the resources of woods and the value of geographical location, such as near the harbor and near the country of Cambodia; Dong Nai Province is the resources of woods, labors and earlier cheap lands, subcontractor chain and intra-factories’ management. Last the unique of the Binh Duong Province is the complete subcontractor chain, and the flexible implementation of policy by its province’s government. The study suggests Taiwanese furniture factories should use the surrounding subcontractors to enhance the production.

Submitted in full requirement for the Degree Masters in Technology: Marketing, Technikon Natal, 2000.It has been largely accepted that Small, Medium and Micro Enterprises (SMMEs) are principal driving forces in economic development (UN-ECE, 1999; Istomina, 1998; Lalkaka, 1996). However, many small, medium and micro enterprises are constrained by an array of problems such as a lack of access to finance, training services and physical infrastructure. Also, small, medium and micro enterprises are forced to operate in highly competitive environments and transition economies and this limits the ability of small, medium and micro enterprises and even large organisations to operate successfully and efficiently. Consequently, a strategy focused on inter-firm linkages and collaboration could alleviate the problems faced by small, medium and micro enterprises. Research indicates that inter-firm linkages or clustering can lead to the emergence of collective efficiency, which facilitates the industrialisation of SMMEs and has the potential of contributing to economic development (Schmitz, 1995). A cluster would involve interaction between enterprises or networks of enterprises that produce identical or similar products. These linkages create 'collective efficiency' which is critical in sustaining a competitive edge. The ability of small, medium and micro enterprises to maintain this competitive edge will ensure greater success and opportunities for specialisation and differantion.

The strategy to establish new overseas factories for Taiwan corporations is mostly relying on effect of industry's clustering, and this appearance also attracts the attention of the Taiwan’s banker as discovered, especially rapidly moving to China in recent years. A lot of relevant enterprises are all forced to follow and usually move clusters based on a large number of corporations with close connection or supporting function. The object of this research is to focus on the industry of wooden furniture that has established the factories in Guangdong, China prior to year 2004 and the objective is to analyze the relevance between the industry clustering and the policy of credit of Taiwan’s bankers, not considering the external factor of the industry and the influence of the economic situation. The purposes of study mainly are: (1) to probe into the present situation and mutual relationship of industry clustering (2) to analyze the relevance to the level of industry's clustering between the factor of Credit policy of bank and managing performance. (3) to probe into the impact on the factor of credit policy in the bank between industry's clustering degree. Probe into the definition, questionnaire of developing idea structure, research supposing, parameter and design etc. and carry on general survey according to documents, and return to the analytical method to assay with relevant analysis. It discovers the clustering’s degree that is higher, it has the good factor of credit policy in the bank to influence, especially and the better one influencing of ”horizontal cooperation” is the higher with ”vertical cooperation” in the clustering degree, show in industry's clustering, is the upstream and downstream relation or the partner the cooperative tightness each other of partner's relation is the higher, it is relatively good to the factor of credit policy in the bank, if it manages the performance to help to awarding the factor of credit policy well even more well. The research result may be useful for Taiwan companies as reference to make arrangement tactics in the future.

This diploma thesis is focusing on analysis of indebtedness and productivity at company level. The main aim is to analyse these two variables and find their relationship. The thesis is divided into two main parts, theoretical and practical. The theoretical part includes information about indebtedness and productivity issues, whereas the practi-cal part is focusing on analysing of these two variables and finding their relationship. It is focused on companies producing furniture. In the introduction of the practical part is a characteristics of furniture manufacturing industry according to the CZ-NACE and a summarization from a macroeconomic perspective. These companies are than cate-gorized by their size into micro, small, medium and large companies. The following chapters are aimed on a produc-tivity and indebtedness analysis according to each category and on analysis of their relationship. The last chapter is aimed on hypothesis that is supposed to find out, if the companies, that have long-term asset and indebtedness growth, have also a productivity growth. The conclusion includes a summary of all the analysis. According to the analysis was found out, that in some small groups of companies exist a significant relationship between productivity and indebted-ness. It is mainly about a medium and large companies.

Business process reengineering is applicable to all types of organizations and enterprises, but there are many fundamental differences in the purpose, structure, model and process. No universal tools or models are used while introducing business process reengineering, which, at present, is just a concept. It is often to describe the target under imagination or experience in the implementation, but it cannot explain how to achieve the goal. The ISO-9001 quality management system of International Standards Organization has a complete operating structure, common operating standards and a rigorous audit system. It focuses on the establishment of the top-down overall operating standards and processes. Meanwhile it has to accept the certification of International Standards Organization. Through literature analysis, the reengineering process is found to highly correlate with international standard ISO-9001 quality management system structures and procedures. Thus, there is no conflict or violation. In the narrow sense of business performance, simple financial indicators are often used to reflect whether the company's economic goals are met. Common indicators include: corporate competitiveness (customer satisfaction), productivity (productive capacity), quality yield (production quality) and cost reduction (production efficiency), etc. (Venkatraman and Ramanujam, 1986). Therefore, this study takes the example of Yilan S Company's ISO-9001 quality management system for enterprise quality control process reengineering. It uses the "Comparative Analysis Approach" to test the company's production quality in the aspects of production quality, customer satisfaction, productive capacity, and production efficiency before and after business process reengineering. Business performance was found to develop positively. It turns out that the ISO-9001 quality management system can be used as a tool for business process reengineering. The ISO-9001 quality management system is indeed beneficial to the business performance of traditional manufacturing.

Dissertação de mestrado integrado em Engenharia MecânicaA indústria do mobiliário é um dos sectores de maior impacto em Portugal (tanto a nível industrial como económico). Todavia, é ainda um sector muito fragmentado, caracterizado por uma falta de eficiência produtiva e uma organização industrial pouco desenvolvida. Por outro lado, o parque de máquinas instalado é relativamente moderno e tecnologicamente capaz de todos os processos de produção; porém, a inexperiência ou a falta de formação e conhecimento dos trabalhadores, conduz ao seu sub-aproveitamento. Apesar de todo o know-how existente na maioria das empresas deste sector industrial (relacionado com todos os processos, recursos e capacidades), estas nem sempre conseguem encontrar a melhor solução para uma organização sustentável. Assim, uma re-organização do sistema de produção – e a sua consequente optimização – é considerada o factor-chave fundamental, de modo a alcançar uma produção eficiente e sustentável. Este trabalho contribui para o estudo e desenvolvimento de uma metodologia aplicada em ambiente industrial, onde o fluxo produtivo e o fluxo de informação são optimizados. Desta forma, é efectuada uma análise a todo o processo de produção, do ponto de vista da informação técnica, ao longo de todas as etapas produtivas (projecto, fabrico e montagem). Na fase de projecto é realizada uma análise mais completa e detalhada, permitindo a análise e identificação de todos os parâmetros críticos. Assim, este trabalho pretende o desenvolvimento de uma metodologia de trabalho, que assenta no desenvolvimento de modelos de informação, alcançada por um completo tratamento computacional (em Microsoft Excel) das especificações técnicas e todos os outros parâmetros de produção, ao longo de todo o processo. Consequentemente, este trabalho visa também a optimização do fluxo produtivo. Por fim, os modelos desenvolvidos e todas as metodologias correspondentes, bem como os resultados da re-organização da produção, são comprovadas num caso de estudo no meio industrial (no segmento do mobiliário de cozinha).
According to the major industrial associations, the furniture industry is one of the most important sectors in Portugal (both at the industrial and economical level). Nevertheless, it still is a very fragmented industry, characterized by a lack of productive efficiency and a poorly developed industrial organization. Contrasting with this scenario, the installed machinery is relatively modern and technologically capable for all production processes, but the workers’ inexperience and lack of formation/knowledge leads to its underutilization. All of these factors combined together lead to an inefficient and low production capacity. Thus, despite all the production and management know-how (related to processes, resources and capabilities) available in the majority of furniture industries, these still cannot succeed in finding the best organization and sustainable solution. Therefore, a re-organization of the manufacturing system – and its consequent optimization – is considered as the imperative key to achieve an eco-efficient production. This work contributes to the research and development of a methodology to be applied in the industrial environment in which the technical data and workflow are optimized. In order to do so, an analysis of the entire process of furniture production is conducted, throughout all the stages (design, manufacturing and assembly) and at the communications level. A revision of technical specifications exchanged between those main departments was performed considering both the computational and paper based workflow. The design project phase requires a complete and thorough analysis, as the most important phase in all the furniture production process, allowing the identification (and further optimization) of its crucial parameters. The main focus is the development of a standard information model, made by full computational treatment (using Microsoft Excel) of the technical specifications and all other production parameters throughout the whole process, envisaging the plant workflow optimization. Finally, the developed framework and corresponding methodologies, as well as the results of the production reorganization, are demonstrated in an industrial case study (in the kitchen cabinets segment).
