In recent decades many companies realize the importance of planning product families and managing their portfolio, in addition to developing products that meet customers’ needs and assuring their quality. Considering the lack of similar research conducted in the furniture industry, this paper presents studies dedicated to furniture manufacturers. The aim of this paper is to diagnose the problems possibly resulting from new furniture implementation and describe main determinants influencing product portfolio. The case study was conducted in three large case goods companies. The conclusions indicate that the most important in determining the final size of product range at a furniture company are: new product strategies, the types and quality of raw materials, a sales price of the product (low, middle or high), and a level of difficulty of its constructing and manufacturing.
Portfolio management has received a stable and central position both in project management research, product development management research, and companies' management practices during the past decade. Moreover, it has become a central way for companies to manage their product development efficiently and effectively. Developing new products rapidly to enter new markets and capture market share may lead to designing a diverse range of products. The viewpoint presented in this article and its first part, may enable initial evaluation of product portfolios and their management over time conducted for the selected furniture factories. The research was carried on in the second half of 2011 in three large furniture (case goods) companies. The main results indicate that old products constitute on average about 30 – 55% of monthly sales. Also, there are two options for furniture manufactures: either to direct toward implementation of new furniture collections assuming their life cycles to be as long as possible, or launching new products more frequently but with the awareness of their shorter life cycles.
The article brings up the subject of usefulness information placing in the Internet to make marketing plan for activity of micro, small and medium enterprises of wood industry. It also shows the capabilities of using them to write the marketing plan. The conclusion is: the Internet is as much advanced developed the data base now, so it can systematicaly replace the traditional sources to make the marketing plan and shorten considerably time and reduce costs to create it. There is only one problem – the businessmen will always have to think about honesty and authenticity of information placing in the Internet.
The new product development models in the furniture industry – a literature review Very little has been published concerning the product development process in the furniture industry regardless of knowledge that furniture is a product with a big potential, caused by many possible feature combinations, serving both functional and aesthetic considerations. Nevertheless, this paper explores the new product development models in the furniture industry through a deep literature analysis which was an introduction to research into the new product development process in the Polish furniture industry. This study sought to expand knowledge of the activities involved in furniture product development and revealed the gaps in previous researches.
Application of QFD method for the process of a new furniture preparing The article takes up a subject of proceedings preceding launching a new product on the market. Particular attention was paid to the use of this process QFD technique (Quality Function Deployment or House of Quality, which had already been successfully applied in industries such as: automotive, electronic, or in building. QFD method gives the company an undoubted advantage which is shortening time of the process of preparing a new product and, ipso facto, faster capability to launch it on the market. It is also an instrument that serves to transfer customers' expectations to product’s features. QFD method can be also adopted to the needs for the furniture industry. Indeed, there are reasons to use it, all the more that there is no scientific research prescribing any procedures and methods of implementation in the furniture industry.
Analysis of the impact of the production assortment structure on the economic performance in a furniture factory The proposed model has a standard form of a polynomial in which an explanatory (exogenous) variable is net operating profit increment in relation to total offer of a plant, or what would be recommended, in relation to particular types of products. Explanatory variables are hypothetical the most important relationships expressing impact on a level and changes in the value of function that is expounded. A relatively low value of a random variable indicates accuracy of selection these variables and that variables number was sufficient (E ξ=0).
Galanin (GAL) is a 29-amino-acid residue peptide originally isolated from porcine upper small intestine. GAL exhibits various physiological activities, such as effects on hormones release, smooth muscles contractions, gastric acid secretion, neurons degeneration and feeding. One of the biological actions of GAL is the inhibition of insulin secretion from the pancreatic ß-cells. In our studies we have designed several new 15-amino-acid-residue galanin fragment analogues modified in positions: 6, 8, 9, 10, 11 and tested for their effects on glucose-induced insulin secretion from isolated rat pancreatic islets of Langerhans. In vitro insulin secretion was studied during static incubation. All peptides were tested at two concentrations: 0.1 µM and 1 µM. Among the analogues derived from GAL(1-15)NH2 peptide: [Phe9]GAL(1-15)NH2 and [Pro11]GAL(1-15)NH2 were found to be the potent antagonists against the inhibitory effect of GAL on glucose-induced insulin secretion from the isolated rat pancreas. These analogues block the GAL-mediated inhibition of insulin secretion. The present studies have shown that analogues: [Phe9]GAL(1-15)NH2 and [Pro11]GAL(1-15)NH2 may be a key compounds for developing a more potent GAL antagonists.
