Every year as the summer months roll around, the furniture manufacturing industry sees a seasonal spike in product demand. We prepare for this production increase with seasonal staffing, clear communication, high levels of inventory purchased, and encouragement to clients to place summer and fall orders early to ensure we provide the highest quality products and services in a timely manner. Fortunately, this summer we are already off to a record-breaking start to our facility’s production capacity and efficiency.
A Record Month
During the yearly seasonal spike, our monthly revenue often increases by up to 50% compared to our offseason months, and June 2024 was no exception. We saw record numbers of operations completed and components made.
The 2024 seasonal spike led to June 2024 having the highest production numbers in comparison to June numbers from previous years. Additionally, our talented team – along with our additional summer staff – have worked overtime within the work week and additional hours on Saturdays to ensure that this increase in orders did not see grossly extended lead times with June only providing 20 regular working days.
Looking Ahead
As the 2024 summer continues, we will strive to maintain our efficiency while providing clear communication about our lead times and the same high-quality, well-engineered table base components for educational, office, and hospitality nationwide regardless of the spike in production.
