Chad’s Creative Concepts developed a solid reputaio creative designs and high-quality workmanship. Sales eventually encompass at the entire Great Lakes region. Along with arowth came additional opportuniues. Traditionally, the company focused entirely on custom-made furniture, with the customer specitying the kind of wood from which the piece would be made As the company’s reputation grew and sales increased, the sales force began selling some of the more popular pieces to retail furniture outlets. This move into retail outlets led Chad’s Creative Concepts into the production of a more standard line of furniture. Buyers of this line were much more price-sensitive and imposed more stringent delivery requirements than did clients for the custom line. Custom- designed furniture, however, continued to dominate sales, accounting for 60 per- cent of volume and 75 percent of dollar sales. Currently, the company operates a single manufacturing process in Sandusky, where both custom furniture and standard furniture are manufactured. The equipment is mainly general purpose in nature to provide the flexibility needed for producing custom pieces of furniture. The layout puts together saws in one section of the facility, lathes in another, and so on. The quality of the finished product reflects the quality of the wood chosen and the craftsmanship of individual workers. Both custom and standard furniture compete for processing time on the same equipment by the same craftspeople. During the past few months, sales of the standard line steadily increased, leading to more regular scheduling of this product line.
