Case Study: Muebles Liz achieves a 300% increase in cutting capacity and eliminates manual cutting with Lectra's VectorFurniture solution

Muebles Liz Quadruples Production Capacity With Lectra

Muebles Liz, a 100% Mexican upholstered furniture manufacturer with 52 years in the market, was hampered by an aging cutting system and manual processes that increased costs, drove overtime and threatened on-time deliveries. The company’s goals were to reduce operational costs, boost productivity and reliably meet growing customer demand.

Lectra delivered a consulting-led solution combined with its VectorFurniture automated cutter, applying lean methods, process analysis and KPI monitoring to optimize the cutting room and wider workflow. The results: a 300% increase in cutting capacity, 16% reduction in cutting cycle time, elimination of manual cutting and related overtime, plies cut rising from 18 to 60, cutting six times faster per set, and output now at 400 sofas and 1,200 cushions per day with peak capacity up to 700 sofas.
