This book challenges conventional thinking about furniture manufacturing. It not only details the serious problems facing the industry, but offers workable, real-world solutions for many of these problems. The author blends a practical understanding of woodworking processes with modern day computer and machine tool technologies to offer a method of returning solid profitability to furniture making. A great deal of effort has gone into detailing the cost implications of small batch sizes that are common in furniture production today. The author carefully details teh significant cost areas normally ignored by high volume producers. These cost areas can actually dominate when production batches become small as they have today.
