Production Designer - Furniture Company

As a Production Drawing Specialist, your primary responsibility will be to develop detailed production drawings for furniture items based on initial designs and specifications. It is crucial to ensure that the drawings you create include all necessary technical details, dimensions, and assembly instructions to guide the manufacturing process effectively. In addition to production drawings, you will also be responsible for generating comprehensive cutting lists that outline the materials needed for production, including dimensions and quantities. Collaborating with suppliers to ensure the availability and suitability of materials listed for the intended designs will be essential to streamline the production process. To optimize material usage, you will utilize software tools such as panel optimization software to create cutting plans that minimize waste and maximize material efficiency. Continuous analysis and improvement of cutting plans based on production feedback and material availability will be key to enhancing production efficiency. Collaboration with design and production teams is a crucial aspect of your role. Working closely with furniture designers and engineers to ensure the feasibility of designs from a production standpoint and effective communication with the production team to convey changes or requirements will be essential for successful project execution. Quality assurance is paramount in this role, requiring you to review production drawings and cutting lists for accuracy and compliance with industry standards and regulations. Conducting periodic audits of production processes to ensure adherence to design specifications and optimize production techniques will be necessary to maintain quality standards. Your proficiency in CAD software will be essential for creating and modifying production drawings. Staying updated with the latest software tools for cutting list generation and optimization will enable you to leverage technology for efficient project execution. Documentation and reporting are vital aspects of the role, as you will be responsible for maintaining organized documentation of production drawings, cutting lists, and project revisions for future reference and compliance. Additionally, preparing reports on material usage, production efficiency, and discrepancies encountered during production will help in monitoring and improving processes. In case of any issues arising during the production process related to design, materials, or cutting optimization, your problem-solving skills will be put to the test. Collaborating with stakeholders to identify solutions and implementing necessary changes promptly will be crucial for ensuring smooth project flow and successful outcomes.,
