[0002] Car seats come in a variety of styles, made from fabrics like fabric, artificial leather, carpet, and cowhide. Due to the unique characteristics of cowhide, custom-made pieces are often die-cut. Each piece is hand-marked and sent to a layout machine, which automatically cuts it. The finished pieces are unlabeled and must be manually sorted before being loaded onto on-site carts. Because the pull-through production model relies on customer orders placed daily, a line change is required after every 20-40 units of each model are produced. This differs from the batch production model of the apparel industry. Due to the varying sewing processes, the front-end process often assembles the pieces in advance, leaving most of the replenishment pieces to be collected manually. This can easily lead to mistakes during pattern changes, lost pieces, and significant labor investment in patching and replenishment. This also results in high production costs and low yield rates.
