Gomme’s Furniture

T. A. J. Nicholson

Chapter 12 in Managing Manufacturing Operations: Analysis and Discussion, 1978, pp 52-57 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract The case describes a successful production and sales coordination system and identifies the reasons which lie behind the success. Gomme’s production system has great potential for disaster: a wide range of final products is made from many components through a long integrated chain of processes encompassing both machine shops and assembly lines. Yet they make a success of it. Their success is achieved partly through their long order book but also through their disciplined procedure and production reporting scheme.
