Graphic Model of the Processes Involved in the Production of Casegood Furniture
Imports from foreign furniture manufacturers are on the rise and American manufacturers must take advantage of recent technological advances to regain their lost market share. To facilitate implementation of technologies for improving productivity and quality, a graphic model of the wood furniture production process has been developed using the IDEF (ICAM--Integrated Computer Aided Manufacturing-DEFinition) modeling process and is presented. IDEF modeling provides a graphic representation of the production process by presenting the information in easy-to-grasp chunks. A description of the modeling process explains how the model represents the data that flows through the plant, the activities in the plant, and their interaction. Analysis of the model may result in improved communication, recognition of specific points for implementing new technologies, evidence of bottlenecks and problem areas, simplified inventory control, or reduction of paperwork.
West Virginia Yellow-poplar Lumber Defect Database
S2In West Virginia, yellow-poplar (Liriodendron tulipifera) is abundant and is a prime candidate for increased utilization in a variety of manufacturing industries. Computer simulations are a cost-effective tool for estimating potential cutting yields from lumber. They can be used to promote increased use of yellow-poplar in the furniture, cabinet, and architectural woodworking industries and may also lead to increased utilization of the lower grades of lumber. This paper describes the data collection methods and the format of the new West Virginia yellow-poplar lumber defect database that was developed for use with computer simulation programs. The database contains descriptions of 627 boards, totaling approximately 3,800 board feet, collected in West Virginia for grades FAS, FASIF, No. 1 Common, No. 2A Common, and No. 28 Common.S3.
