Download or read book Furniture Manufacturing in the New Millennium written by Ken Susnjara and published by . This book was released on 1998 with total page 241 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Industrial additive manufacturing is currently being used successfully every day to produce some of the largest composite parts ever made. These include large aerospace molds and tools, foundry patterns for various industries, chassis for electric busses and what is likely the tallest 3D printed structure ever made. Although the process results in substantial savings and dramatically reduces lead time, much of industry today still doesn't understand it.In this book, the author, who was instrumental in developing the technology actually being used in industry today, explains in everyday language what it is, how it works, what actually works, and what doesn't. He provides a guide for non-technical managers to help them understand the basics so they can evaluate how this new technology might impact their company.He explores all aspects of this process in clear, easy to understand language including the print process, polymers, software, trimming, cost savings, time savings, computer simulation and the practical, real world, aspects of getting into large scale additive. He includes sometimes humorous vignettes about surprises, missteps and stumbles during initial technology development and how they were handled.If you are a manager in an industrial company who might benefit from large scale additive technology, or, if your company is actively exploring this area, this book will give you the background you need to participate and make better decisions. It will also help you cut through confusion and crosstalk that often accompanies a new technology like this.

Download or read book A Profile of the Furniture Manufacturing Industry written by Susan M. Walcott and published by Business Expert Press. This book was released on 2013-11-14 with total page 98 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The furniture industry has played an important role in the history of the United States as a bellwether for manufacturing. This sector continues to be a major manufacturing employer in the US and around the world through its utilization of a global production network. Types of furniture range from household (indoor and outdoor) to institutional, with particular growth in firms supplying medical and government-related commodities. The industry is highly responsive to economic and fashion trends, but is partitioned into high, medium and low cost segments that reveal different location-al and market responses to changes in these factors. Recent developments indicate that the post-1980's migration of furniture manufacturing to offshore, low labor cost countries has stabilized and shows signs of re-shoring in the US for high end customized technologically intensive products utilizing the remaining embedded skilled labor and locally clustered industry components. Businesses that survived the recessionary 'creative destruction' largely adopted lean manufacturing processes and took advantage of newly available, lower cost equipment and buildings to upgrade their production practices, absorbing market from former competitors. New partnerships will be traced with branches and headquarter relocations in Asia, along with cooperative supplier relationships with former U.S. and new foreign companies. Industry survivors adopted practices that could be highly instructive for other manufacturers challenged by globalization to grow stronger by increasing their adaptive capacity. Concepts illustrated in the furniture industry would be useful to a number of audiences in academic, industry and public policy markets. The proposed book provides an overview of the industry and its global production network including a brief overview of the manufacturing technologies of each sector. Assessment of new competitors in Asia and South America will illustrate opportunities and challenges in these locations. The book culminates by considering challenges, opportunities, and the future outlook of the industry in regional clusters.
