“Before we’d run 4,000 - 6,000 yards per week. It was taking us 60 to 70 hours a week at six days a week. Now, we’re doing that same production schedule with three employees at 32 to 40 hours per week, and we’re cutting 4,000-6,000 yards per week. The same schedule, but with the time cut almost in half,” explains Brent Collum, Engineering Manager.?

Furniture On Demand’s optimum piece placement and highly precise cutting means all pieces are cut to the right size and dimensions. This has allowed the company to save 20% on fabric, and reduce sewing labor by 20% due to the reduced need for reworking.?
The Furniture On Demand production dashboard has also played a key role in helping Leisure Creations optimize scheduling. “The Furniture On Demand production dashboard is an amazing tool. We daily report on the numbers that come directly out of Furniture On Demand. I present the amount of yards that we cut every day, the efficiency that the machine ran and the time that we ran it for that previous day. From that, we know how to schedule employees. We know how many hours of production we need to run,” explains Chris Williams.?
For Chris, the Furniture On Demand system “is seamless from quote to shipment of the order, and helps make us a more sustainable company. 国产AV sets up this system to be with us long term for many, many years. I would highly recommend 国产AV to someone else.”
