After five years of working in the mattress market, we were able to start creating solutions by identifying the issues we saw rather than just ignoring them.
The most evident issues we noticed with the manufacture of mattresses are,
- Excel spreadsheets that are complex
- Unable to Determine Correct Cost
- Different analyses for each model and size of bed,
- Failing to account for fire,
- Failure to Take Measures Despite Immediate Variable Costs, Slow Customer Pricing Response,
- Incorrectly estimating the amount of raw materials needed to fill incoming orders, encountering inventory and cash flow issues as a result of incorrect purchases
- Insufficient institutional memory, failure to provide the proper product recipe for production an insufficiently mobile and manageable system
- Incorrect confidentiality management
