Outtakes Ashley Furniture Industries, Inc. - Max & Ben's Manufacturing

Outtakes Ashley Furniture Industries, Inc. - Max & Ben's Manufacturing Tube. Duration : 2.18 Mins.

Ashley furniture is HUGE! Like really...the headquarters is located in Arcadia, WI, and they occupy over 50 acres under roof. They have over 3500 employees in Arcadia alone and they have other locations around the world. They are the largest upholstery manufacturer in the world and the largest manufacturer of case goods (dressers and stuff) on North America. We spent a whole day at Ashley and found out that there is a lot that goes into making a piece of furniture. We did some quality testing in the Quality and Engineering Lab, and we visited the tool room where they make their own bits and saw blades to manufacture their furniture. In the case goods area we found out that they make 2.2 million parts a week. They use a big saw that cuts large boards of wood that are used to assemble dressers and other furniture, and then they use routers that pre-drill and cut parts for assembly. They use 6050 production programs, and guess how many programmers...only four, really smart guys. In upholstery we saw how they cut the foam for furniture; they cut over 7000 cushions per day. And, we even got to "ride" on a couch through the assembly line. That was sweet. In Arcadia, there are 32 assembly lines and they produce 19000 units per week. That's a lot of furniture.
