American Leather Furniture Factory Tour

American Leather was founded in 1990 on one revolutionary idea: custom leather furniture could be made and shipped in three weeks or less. Founder/CEO Bob Duncan applied "just-in-time" manufacturing he admired from the Japanese car industry to the furniture industry. From a small four person shop, the company has grown into a thriving leader in the furniture industry.The factory, based just outside of Dallas, Texas, makes furniture -- now in leather and fabric -- in just three weeks or less, a delivery standard that's three times faster than the industry average. From the beginning, the factory was set up to manage mass customization through the latest technology and manufacturing systems, making American Leather the most automated leather furniture manufacturer in North America, if not the world. http://www.americanleather.com... http://www.jensen-lewis.com
