The document discusses the development of the furniture sector in Malaysia. It traces the history of furniture from ancient times through modernism. Key factors that influence the sector include materials, customer requirements, industrial production techniques, and fashion trends. Modern technologies like CAD and integrated logistics systems have enhanced design capabilities and supply chain management. The Malaysian government supports the sector through the Malaysian Furniture Promotion Council and technical consultants to meet international standards. This has expanded the sector's career opportunities and increased exports.

11. Factors that influence the
development of the sector

12.  COST
The cost of the materials and labour required to manufacture the
product.
The price potential customers are prepared to pay for the product.
 ERGONOMICS
The product may be designed for human use.
 MATERIALS
The availability of materials and the development of new, hi-technology
materials will have an influence on the final design of a product.
 CUSTOMER REQUIREMENTS
The customer will have great influence over the way a product is designed
and develops

13.  INDUSTRIAL PRODUCTION
When designing a product the most desirable production technique may
influence the way the final product looks.
 COMPANY IDENTITY
The product may have to display the company image. Most companies are
proud of their public image. This may determine the colour scheme
applied to the product, the way it looks or even the materials that are used
in its manufacture (i.e. recycled materials).
 AESTHETICS
The shape and form of the product may determine the layout of circuits
or mechanisms.
 FASHION
The fashion of the time influences the design of products. Usually people
want to buy up to date items not ones based on 'last years look'.

14.  CULTURE
Some products are aimed at different cultures and countries.
 FUNCTIONS
The number of functions a product has to perform will inevitably affect
its design.
 ENVIRONMENT
Many people (potential customers) are concerned about their
environment and the damage to it caused by industrial production.

15. • The modern technologies and software such as
Computer Aided Design (CAD) and AutoCAD have
been adopted and being utilised to enhance the
designing capabilities.

16. The affect of S&T on the
furniture sector
 The use of integrated logistics management
system has also helped furniture companies to
efficiently control their stock and inventory which
enable the application of ‘Just In Time (JIT)’ in its
operations

17. The affect of S&T on the
furniture sector
 The government has set-up the Malaysian Furniture
Promotion Council (MFPC) to specially focus on the
promotion of the furniture sector
 Appointed technical consultants to be based in
Malaysia in order to ensure that Malaysian products
conform to the high-expectant and strict requirements
of the market-standards.

18. The affect of S&T on the
furniture sector
 Career opportunities
 Achieve great amounts of furniture exports.
 Increased productivity, market expansion and
aggressive promotional efforts are also
instrumental in increasing Malaysia's furniture exports
