Why is the custom furniture production cycle so long?

In recent years, with the rising demand for personalized consumption, customized products are increasingly favored by the people. The housing structure is diverse and the size is different. Consumers are “difficult to adjust” and pose difficulties for traditional furniture products. In order to bring the unused space of the house to the use value, the horns can also shine, and many families have begun to look at the custom furniture market. Compared with the finished furniture, the customized furniture gives consumers a sense of personalized layout and space efficiency, so that consumers can fully appreciate the fun of “home culture”. But perhaps it should be the old saying, "slow work out of fine work", the long production cycle of custom furniture has also brought some troubles to some consumers.

There is a difference in the period of slow work

Under the same material, the product characteristics of custom furniture lead to a longer production cycle than finished furniture. Custom furniture is produced after receiving a consumer order, and finished furniture manufacturers reserve a certain amount of inventory for the most common sizes, styles, and styles on the market, and the production cycle is much reduced. In general, the production cycle of the panel-type finished wardrobe is about one week. Even if the furniture is modified on the basis of the finished product, the production cycle takes two weeks.

The Beijing Morning Post reporter learned during the visit to the home store that the production cycle of custom furniture varies according to product customization requirements and materials. For example, customizing a panel wardrobe, from the time the consumer orders to the door-to-door, generally takes 30 to 45 days. Customizing a solid wood wardrobe takes 45 days or even 2 to 3 months from production to packaging. However, the production time required for custom sofas is relatively short, generally half a month. Zhang Fucai, chairman of Power Furniture, said that the production cycle required is different for different types of products.

Personalized customization through multiple links

The rational use of limited space has become the main reason why most consumers choose custom furniture. The special size and diversification of requirements put forward higher requirements for the production of furniture.

Custom furniture differs from finished furniture before placing an order. Consumers want to enter the store to choose styles, materials, hardware accessories, and then determine how to calculate the price; after confirming the purchase, the staff will take measurements at the agreed time, and give a clear total price, and then sign a contract with the consumer, the seller The signed contract was sent to the factory, which entered the formal production process.

Into the production process, custom furniture to re-mold the mold, this link will take a certain amount of time. At present, the production lines of most furniture companies are set according to the standard furniture. Worker training and machine equipment are already scaled, and the production efficiency and quality are relatively high. However, some furniture of different sizes must be customized, and the factory needs to be modulated. Equipment, re-feeding, and making new prototypes will be time consuming and labor intensive.

From the material point of view, the process of panel furniture and solid wood furniture is basically similar, all need to go through wood processing, painting, inspection, packaging, delivery and installation steps, but the production cycle of solid wood furniture is longer than the panel furniture. Liu Jianbo, general manager of the gold-plated cabinet Beijing market, told the Beijing Morning Post that the production cycle is mainly reflected in the processing technology. The production of solid wood furniture also needs to be processed by planing, planing and drying. Powerful furniture Zhang Fucai said that there are many details to be paid attention to when selecting solid wood furniture from material selection to processing. Not only must pay attention to the grain of the wood, but also ensure the moisture content of the wood; in addition, the painting also has to go through multiple processes, each process has strict requirements. If the consumer has other process requirements, the production cycle will be longer.

Shorten production cycle with intelligent system

In fact, when consumers buy custom furniture, the sales staff will tell the furniture production cycle, the approximate delivery time. In the interview process of the Beijing Morning Post reporters, the respondents all said that the most important thing consumers need to buy is the quality. If you want to shorten the production schedule, it will definitely affect the product quality. For example, omitting several production processes, brushing the paint twice and changing it into a brush, the victim is still the consumer.

However, in order to allow consumers to receive customized furniture in a short period of time, many custom brands are currently working on machines and equipment. Upgrade the production equipment, use intelligent systems, and reduce unnecessary time as much as possible on the basis of quality assurance. Gold medal cabinet Liu Jianbo told reporters that the current European, gold, and Shangpin homes are all equipped with intelligent systems to provide order production efficiency. It is understood that Shangpin Home is equipped with a full-process digital driving technology at the core manufacturing base, and independently develops management system software and intelligent device manufacturing software according to actual needs; Sophia relies on information technology and technology-driven, and has established a flexible production line. The principle is to User orders are brought together to form the best sheet production and utilization plan through computer calculation; Oupai cabinets use OPPEIN integrated manufacturing information system to collect complete information from design to production, including automatic price, bomb disposal, order placement, machinery and equipment. Automatic identification of production, etc.; Gold cabinets use intelligent systems to speed up the transition from solution to production, speed up internal information flow, and reduce time delays in personnel communication. Gold medal Liu Jianbo explained that at present many custom brands use standardized methods to produce customized products, which is also a speed increase in production schedule.

I can't eat hot tofu "customized" to be early

"I waited for the flowerpots to wait until the flowers were thankful." "The daughter-in-law has already taken home, the furniture is still on the road." Customized furniture, from production to delivery, takes at least a month, if there is an urgent consumer. Can only helplessly wait, so when choosing custom furniture, Beijing Morning Post recommends that consumers must plan ahead. Because custom furniture needs to be produced according to the needs and choices of consumers, before the production is put into production, the staff needs to come to the door for dimensional measurement, and then according to the spatial structure and shape, integrate the consumer's ideas about materials, colors, styles, etc. Program.

In addition, if you want to customize cabinets and doors, you need to pay special attention. Gold medal cabinet Liu Jianbo explained that in all the fixed products, cabinets need to be considered at the earliest, because it involves the transformation of water, electricity and gas. When choosing a custom cabinet, you need to start customizing the cabinet when you choose the decoration team. There are also custom doors that need to be advanced, as it involves wall renovation. These two types of customized products need to be fixed when the house is renovated, and the wardrobes, wine cabinets, bookcases, etc. will be slightly later in the selection time, and will not have much impact.
