4. The processes used in the manufacture of furniture include
the cutting, bending, molding, laminating, and assembly of
such materials as wood, metal, glass, plastics, and rattan.
However, the production process for furniture is not solely
bending metal, cutting and shaping wood, or extruding and
molding plastics.
Furniture designers develop and prepare furniture for
manufacture. They are particularly concerned with those
aspects of furniture that relate to human usage and
behaviour, product appeal and fashion. Furniture design
can be considered to be a specialist area of industrial
design (product design).

6. Purchase departments help keep organizations financially healthy.
They procure goods and services designed to meet operational needs
while providing the highest possible value. They established
procurement policies and procedures to ensure their organization
operates with integrity and the marketplace
Purchase department duties :
- Competitive duties
- Non- competitive duties
7. Competitive duties :
In the competitive bidding process, the procurement department opens
the purchasing process to any eligible vendors and generally selects the
bid based on the lowest cost. However, at times, an organization will
restrict the bidding pool in a non-competitive bidding process. A
television station may open and non-competitive building process
purchase new cameras and include only vendors who sell only a
particular brand of equipment.
Non competitive duties :
Purchasing departments often buy certain types of goods and services
directly from the vendor. This type of sole-source or non-competitive
purchasing requires purchasing agents to carefully research and evaluate
vendors and products before making their purchase. Buyers have to
assess the quality of goods or services, prices, and the vendor’s ability to
deliver those goods or services on time.

management, order processing, warehouse and materials
handling and physical distribution. SCM is the design and
operation of the physical and managerial systems needed to
transfer goods and services from vendor to customer in an
effective and efficient manner.

chain managers. The manner in which the information flows
from one collaborator to the other and the impact it has on
others is used by the managers in making strategic decisions

processing. This includes everything from entering new orders to
inspecting shipments to managing customer satisfaction and more. They
must also work with other departments as needed and direct warehouse
personnel to get shipments out.

beforehand.
It not only helps you formulate a battle plan but also puts
you in control by helping you determine your product's
current status, where you want to take it, and how you will
take there.
