Preproduction Phase

Prototyping

The product development team takes the recliner from sketches, to working prototype, to manufacturing instructions for full-scale production. The team consists of at least one of each of the following: upholstery designer, sewing technician, pattern layout technician, a wood technician, and a Computer-Aided Design (CAD) engineer. The team physically builds a prototype; and once the prototype is approved, the preproduction phase begins.

Preproduction phase

A manufacturing plant is chosen and the prototype is test produced on the machinery by staff to see if it can be successfully created.

Pilot production

Once the prototype has been successfully produced at one factory, the specifications and materials are electronically shipped to all factories for another test run. The computer-based specifications assist in programming stamping machines, cutting machines, etc.

After the small run of the new recliner is successfully executed, full production is initiated, and each plant produces several thousand recliners per day.
