With the development of industrial technology of our country, the function of hardware on the furniture is not only the decoration and the connection of some moving parts, which is more and more strong function and a more and more wide field is involved. The diversity of the base material, the reform of the structure and the increase of the use function, so that the hardware accessories have higher requirements for versatility, interchangeability, function and decoration. Furniture production from the former manual workshop, developed to the present mechanized mass production. Therefore, it is particularly important for furniture manufacturing enterprises to improve production efficiency, reduce costs, improve product quality, enhance the competitiveness of domestic and foreign markets, and increase benefits.
Furniture hardware challenges the high-end market
From "common goods" to "customized goods" transformation, closer to customers, to create value-added products and services
In the furniture hardware industry, many furniture hardware manufacturers lack a relationship with the end customer and rely too much on the retailer to obtain information about customer needs and expectations. Furniture and hardware manufacturers must learn how to approach the end customer, how to provide them with products, and how to ensure that they are profitable? This requires better marketing capabilities, better sales networks, lean manufacturing and flexible manufacturing capabilities, real-time supply chain operations, supply chain management, innovative thinking and leadership, better education and training for employees, and so on. In short, a new business model.
From the manufacturing side, factories must be automated as much as possible to achieve maximum production efficiency and improve labor productivity
Therefore, it may be necessary to adopt new technology and lean production to reduce costs; At the same time, more investment should be made in the education and training of workers, in the development and research of new products, so that workers will be trained to have special skills to create high quality products and sell them at high prices. If we continue to produce generic goods and provide lower-level services, we will continue to lose markets to places where labor is more plentiful and cheaper.
