This tour starts in the timber zone where the selection process is explained, including the sourcing of FSC certified timber and the environs in which it grows. Manufacturing processes are then identified, as the engineered timber progresses through many procedures to finishing and final assembly. Specifiers will have a chance to view new plant that relies on efficient software planning and reduced manual processes, all geared toward lean manufacturing principles. Finally, there will be a discussion of the factory’s total quality management philosophy, which is focused on customer needs.
