An advanced design support system for sofa furniture manufacturing. Moran currently exports its products and has an established brand name in Australia and parts of Asia due to its long-term emphasis on the structure and comfort of its furniture. However it, like the whole of the furniture industry in Australia, faces a growing threat from cheap substitute imports. Lowering the manufacturing cost and lead-time, as well as offering a wide variety of designs, are strategic tools for Moran and other Australian furniture manufacturing companies. Development of a consolidated design approach to respond rapidly with the needed accuracy, which in turn guarantees the desired results, would greatly benefit Moran and other Australian companies who adopt it.
