A survey of furniture industry regarding the technology and manufacturing strategy in China / Mohd Yusuf Mohamad Kasim

China investigate the manufacturing strategy of 72 Chinese furniture companies based on a nationwide survey conducted in mid-2001, just prior to WTO accession. China provide an overview of the industry and its context before reporting on the operations objectives of the firms - focusing on their relationship to financial performance and technology. China report on the current status of, and future plans for, manufacturing technology implementation and initiatives (such as computer aided design, safety improvement, new product introduction, and reducing changeover times). I make comparisons with other studies, at UiTM Jengka in Diploma In Wood Technology - where Chinese furniture imports are increasingly viewed as a competitive threat.
