The 30.th International conference Research for Furniture Industry, Poznan, Polonya, 22 - 23 Eylül 2022, ss.99-111, (Tam Metin Bildiri)
As can be seen from
the developments in the world furniture sector, in this study, the selection
and use of furniture hardwares, which play an important role in providing a
competitive advantage in both the production and marketing of furniture, are
examined, the important factors in the selection of furniture hardwares are
determined and their effects on the priority of preference are tried to be
revealed. In this context, a survey study was conducted on small and
medium-sized businesses to determine the effects of the factors that are
important in the selection of hardwares on the preference priority. In
determining the effects on preference priority, an evaluation method based on
the nature of the enterprises (being a manufacturer or supplier) and the status
of the hardware on a product basis was followed. As a result, it has been
determined that the product-based features of the hardwares differ with the
structural nature of the enterprises in the preference priority in the
selection and use of hardwares. In this framework, alternative approach
suggestions have been developed for the furniture industry for the choice of
hardwares.
