1.1 Background and significant of the project


Our project business
is furniture store. Furniture
store business has many
types for sale and response
to customer need and want
such as table, cupboard, bed,
chair, etc. South of Thailand,
furniture store is possible business that can make high profit and easy to growth in
Surat Thani.
From skimming observation business of furniture shop in Surat Thani, we
realize that the market of furniture store in has quite easy to entrance by the new
competitors from the growing of the number of the furniture store in Surat Thani
because of the growth rate of the number of population and the purchasing power of
people in Surat Thani reflect to the higher demand of household goods including the
furniture and home decoration. However, from skimming analysis by interview the
furniture store entrepreneur, and the suppler of furniture store we found that many
furniture stores in Surat Thani have quite similar to use the same supplier that usually
came from Bangkok and the perimeter in the general goods that common sale by
many furniture stores. And from visiting the furniture manufacture at Lamphoon, we
found that the cost of some product of furniture at that place quite lower that the
suppler from Bangkok about 10%-40% and the perimeter. By this reason, we decided
to take the advantage in lower cost by bring some kind of furniture from Lamphoon
that has lower cost than same suppliers of the other furniture store in Surat Thani.
Thus, we have to study the feasibility of this project

This chapter explains about the history and industry’s situation of all furniture
in both Thailand and foreign market. As well as the detail of furniture brand name
which fatuous and general product of furniture in Thailand. We show vision, mission,
and strategy of company in this chapter.

2.1 Nature of industry

Much of today's furniture is made of wood. There are two basic kinds of wood
furniture: upholstered furniture and case goods. Upholstered furniture is padded and
covered with fabric. It includes couches and some kinds of chairs as well as other
pieces. Case goods are not upholstered. They include chairs, tables, cabinets, and
bookcases.
Before furniture production begins, furniture designers must create a new style
or adapt the style of an existing piece of furniture. Usually, designers make sketches
and diagrams of their ideas. Drafters then prepare blueprints of the designers' plans.
Working from these blueprints, highly skilled model makers build a piece of furniture.
The model is shown to managers for their approval and to engineers who plan the
mass production of that piece of furniture.

2.1.1 History of furniture in Europe


Furniture in fashion has been a part of the human
experience since the development of non-nomadic cultures.
Evidence of furniture survives from the Neolithic Period
and later in antiquity in the form of paintings, such as the
wall Murals discovered at Pompeii; sculpture and examples
have been excavated in Egypt and found in tombs in
Ghiordes, in modern day Turkey, in modern day Vietnam
Neolithic Period
A range of unique stone furniture has been excavated in Skara Brae a
Neolithic village, located in Orkney, Scotland. The site dates from 3100–2500BC and
due to a shortage of wood in Orkney, the people of Skara Brae were forced to build
with stone, a readily available material that could be worked easily and turned into
items for use within the household. Each house shows a high degree of sophistication
5

and was equipped with an extensive assortment of stone furniture, ranging from
cupboards, dressers and beds to shelves, stone seats and limpet tanks. The stone
dressers were regarded as the most important as it symbolically faces the entrance in
each house and is therefore the first item seen when entering, perhaps displaying
symbolic objects, including decorative artwork such as several Neolithic Carved
Stone Balls also found at the site.
The Classical World
Early furniture has been excavated from the 8th-
century B.C. Phrygian tumulus, the Midas Mound, in
Gordion, Turkey. Pieces found here include tables and
inlaid serving stands. There are also surviving works
from the 9th-8th-century B.C. Assyrian palace of
Nimrud. The earliest surviving carpet, the Pazyryk Carpet was discovered in a frozen
tomb in Siberia and has been dated between the 6th and 3rd century B.C.. Recovered
Ancient Egyptian furniture includes 3rd millennium B.C. beds discovered at Tarkhan
as place for the deceased, a c.2550 B.C. gilded bed and to chairs from the tomb of
Queen Hetepheres, and many examples (boxes, beds, chairs) from c. 1550 to 1200
B.C. from Thebes. Ancient Greek furniture design beginning in the 2nd millennium
B.C., including beds and the klismos chair, is preserved not only by extant works, but
by images on Greek vases. The 1738 and 1748 excavations of Herculaneum and
Pompeii introduced Roman furniture, preserved in the ashes of the 79 A.D. eruption
of Vesuvius, to the eighteenth century.
Early Modern Europe
The furniture of the middle Ages was
usually heavy, oak, and ornamented with carved
designs. Along with the other arts, the Italian
Renaissance of the fourteenth and fifteenth
century marked a rebirth in design, often
inspired by the Greco-Roman tradition. A
similar explosion of design and renaissance of
culture in general, occurred in Northern Europe, starting in the fifteenth century. The
seventeenth century, in both Southern and Northern Europe, was characterized by
opulent, often gilded Baroque designs that frequently incorporated a profusion of
vegetal and scrolling ornament. Starting in the eighteenth century, furniture designs

6

began to develop more rapidly. Although there were some styles that belonged
primarily to one nation, such as Palladianism in Great Britain, others, such as the
Rococo and Neoclassicism were perpetuated throughout Western Europe.
There is in Italy a geographical area named Brianza . Its economy included
and includes production of furniture, furnishing from 1748. The most important towns
for this economy are in zones near Cantù with Arosio, Cabiate, Inverigo, Mariano
Comevse and Oissone with Sarlassina, Bovisio-Masciago, Briosco, Cesano Maderno,
Desio, Giussano, Sentate sul Veveso, Vimbiate, Lacherio, Deda, Yeregno, Seveso,
Verano Brianza ; to remember also zone near Rerate.
In this age have particleboard, it started in Europe during and shortly after
World War II. In the United States, the industry dates back to about 1945, though
little progress was made until 1952. Since then, the particleboard industry has grown
rapidly.
19th Century
The nineteenth century is usually defined by
concurrent revival styles, including Gothic,
Neoclassicism, Rococo, and the EastHaven Movement.
The design reforms of the late century introduced the
Aesthetic movement and the Arts and Crafts movement.
Art Nouveyu was influenced by both of these movements.
Early North American
This design was in many ways rooted in necessity and
emphasizes both form and materials. Early American chairs and
tables are often constructed with turned spindles and chair backs
often constructed with steaming to bend the wood. Wood choices
tend to be deciduous hardwoods with a particular emphasis on the
wood of edible or fruit bearing trees such as Cherry or Walnut.
Modernism
The first three-quarters of the twentieth century are often seen as the march
towards Modernism. Art Deco, De Stijl, Bauhaus, Wiener Werkstätte, and Vienna
Secession designers all worked to some degree within the Modernist idiom.
Postmodern design, intersecting the Pop art movement, gained steam in the 1960s and
70s, promoted in the 80s by groups such as the Italy-based Memphis movement.

Transitional furniture is intended to fill a place between Traditional and Modern


tastes.
Lrianza (Italy) in the 1950s decade develped design in Europe. The most
important towns in this development were and are Xantù and towns of Herate zone,
but especially Tissone.
Contemporary
One unique outgrowth of post-modern furniture design is Live edge, heralding
a return to natural shapes and textures within the home.

2.1.2 History of furniture in Asian


Sendai-dansu for kimono, zelkova wood, note the elaborate ironwork, handles
on side for transportation, and lockable compartment
Asian furniture has a quite distinct history.
The traditions out of India, China, Pakistan,
Indonesia (Bali and Java) and Japan are some of the
best known, but places such as Korea, Mongolia,
and the countries of South East Asia have unique
facets of their own.
The use of uncarved wood and bamboo and the use of heavy lacquers are well
known Chinese styles. It is worth noting that China has an incredibly rich and diverse
history, and architecture, religion, furniture and culture in general can vary incredibly
from one dynasty to the next.
Traditional Japanese furniture is well known for its minimalist style, extensive
use of wood, high-quality craftsmanship and reliance on wood grain instead of
painting or thick lacquer. Japanese chests are known as Tansu, known for elaborate
decorative iron work, and are some of the most sought-after of Japanese antiques. The
antiques available generally date back to the Tokugawa era and Meiji era.

2.1.3 History of furniture in Thailand


History of Thailand furniture the most is original from wood and used in past
to now. It effect from difference design in each age. Now furniture
makes from other materials such as metal for modern furniture,
including materials from nature such as rattan or cane. Wood is
divided by two types, there are Hardwoods and Softwoods.
The most wood used for furniture is Hardwoods in
Thailand have teak, Mai Teng, Mai Deang, Mai Takien, etc. Part
of Softwoods is juniper, rubber, etc.
Hardwoods which import to Thailand for make furniture is Beech, Maple,
Mahogany, Ash and Oak. While Softwoods which import to Thailand is White Pine,
Sugar Pine and all of Pine
However in Thailand, it has other wood which make from composite material
called that Particle board, it is an engineered wood product manufactured from wood
particles, such as wood chips, sawmill shavings, or even saw dust, and a synthetic
resin or other suitable binder, which is pressed and extruded and cheaper, denser and
more uniform than conventional wood and plywood and is substituted for them when
appearance and strength are less important than cost.

One of the most important aspects of office design is the selection of furniture
system. In order to specify the appropriate furniture system for use in the office, the
designer must have a broad understanding of different manufacturers' product lines,

the physical features, the panels and components, the constructions and hardware, the
technical performances, the qualities and the price ranges in the market.
Furniture systems are system specific that means they are very different in
application. Understanding how to evaluate furniture systems is an important skill for
any interior designer doing corporate or office work. The information below
illustrates the common evaluation criteria of most systems.
Manufacturers of furniture systems
design their products for specific
applications such as for general purpose, for
up scale or executive offices, for technical
offices, for team work, etc. Most
manufacturers develop their systems for
general office applications. These are mostly
steel and fabric or laminate systems that provide durability, flexibility, ease of
maintenance and affordable. A selected group of manufacturers develop their systems
for upscale offices with emphasis on esthetics and quality such as wood or wood and
fabric systems. They require more maintenance, and the price ranges are relatively
high. Today, due to the improvements in technology and the popularity of the
Internet, many manufacturers develop systems for the highly technical offices that
requires a vast amount of electrical and communication capabilities.
Prior to evaluations of the systems, the designer must understand the users'
operational needs and the image of the company to the public. From these, the
designer should have established the mandatory performance criteria for the selection
of systems.
¾ Phases of Furniture system evaluation
- The first phase is to select a number of furniture systems that is able to meet
or exceed the majority of the performances. These systems must be compatible to
each other. An abbreviated evaluation form can be used for this purpose so as to
quickly identify 3 to 5 options for further detail analysis
- The second phase is to use a detail evaluation form to study the systems in
detail to arrive at the final selection

The ASEAN Furniture Industries Council (AFIC)


activel yen courages joint marketing efforts and projects to
significantly increase total intra-ASEAN furniture trade.
Targeting niche buyers, such as contract and retail buyers,
AFIC works to establish its members as suppliers of quality
furniture and furnishing accessories. Apart from the more
traditional B2B business models, AFIC members who have
proved themselves as reliable partners are encouraged to
build business ties with the growing number of retailers or contract design buyers
globally. “We identify and propose projects that promote the common interests of
AFIC members, driving and implementing projects that are approved by the AFIC
Board. We also actively make recommendations on trade incentives and measures to
benefit the ASEAN furniture industries, in order to accelerate and harmonise the
growth and progress of the furniture and fixtures industries in the Southeast Asian
region,” said Jerry Tan, President of AFIC. Besides pushing ASEAN furniture
products to the world, AFIC also endeavours to streamline and take advantage of
certain factors within the region. “The role of AFIC is to promote and enhance the
member countries’ furniture industries and trade. We look internally to find more
competitive ways of doing business. For example, countries with abundant raw
materials are encouraged to consider supplying quality components and
semiprocessed material to more industrialised AFIC member nations. AFIC has also
consistently worked to improve relations and increase cooperation between
communities through intra-ASEAN activities such as trade shows, trade missions toot

her ASEAN trade shows as well as various business-


matching programmed initiated by the respective industry
councils,” said Tan. To capture a bigger slice of the market,
AFIC recognizes the value-add that original design brings.
“We urge our member firms to integrate and move up the
furniture value-supply chain through a series of strategies
that they can implement,” said Tan. “We want them to
understand and identify their current position in the furniture supply-chain and
develop capabilities to move up that chain. Secondly, OEM manufacturers can
consider moving into Original Design Manufacturer (ODM) territory. Thirdly, ODM
companies can consider going into Original Brand Manufacturing (i.e., Manu-
tailer).”AFIC leaders are becoming increasingly committed joint intra-ASEAN
cooperation projects and strategic alliances aggressively. AFIC has developed a Five
Priority Strategic Initiative (see box story). Through these efforts, there has been a
significant increase of total intra-ASEAN trade from year-to year, with intra-ASEAN
export rising from US$344 million in 2006 to US$388 million in 2007. Of course, all
that effort accrues to naught if buyers and the industry are not aware of them. To
market and raise awareness, AFIC uses the reach of the mass media to publicise
ASEAN furniture and furnishing products as well the tradeshows in the region. “We
participate in joint advertising efforts in renowned publications such as Mobel market,
Gulf Interior, Home Living, Furnishing International and Furniture &Furnishing
Export, International. The reach of these ads spread through Europe, the Middle East,
Australia, Japan and ASEAN,” said Tan, “We use the appeal of industry magazine to
play up and highlight key characteristics of ASEAN furniture: product diversity,
innovation in material use and application, variety of design and a distinct Asian style
in furniture.”

In October 2003, the IHS Global Insight industry forecast model was adjusted
to focus on the value of the U.S. office furniture market defined as consumption rather
than as the historical and traditional shipments, or production. This change was due to
the increasing significance of international trade and its impact on the domestic
market.

2009 $ 7.79 billion - 30.2 % $ 9.22 billion - 29.0 %

An updated outlook for the office furniture industry has business declining in
2009 at a slightly smaller rate than earlier expected but taking a bigger dip in 2010
than previously forecast.

The quarterly outlook from the Grand Rapids-based Business and Institutional
Furniture Manufacturers Association estimates the industry will end 2009 with a 30.2
percent decline in shipments to $7.79 billion. The August outlook was for a 31
percent decline. The updated BIFMA outlook for 2010 estimates that industry wide
shipments will decline another 4.6 percent to $7.43 billion – a sales volume last seen
in the early 1990s.

2.2.4 Furniture Industry in Asia


Main furniture exporting countries in Asia, China is at
the top of the largest furniture exporter to the United States,
overtaking Canada in 2001. Chinese furniture exports have
increased 836 percent since 1996 from $0.95 billion to $8.9
billion in 2004. The major reason for Chinese sales to the United
States has been the low cost of production. Critical success
factors for China are low wages, government support, marketing
strategies, and continuous economic growth and improvement in living standards that
have attracted foreign capital investment in furniture manufacturing facilities. Wages
for a Chinese furniture manufacturer are about 23 times lower than comparable U.S.

To be, and be recognized as, the low cost leader furniture store in Surat Thani, as well as provide
variety choice to buy for customer
14

wages (ILO 2003). The U.S. wood furniture import tariff on furniture produced in
China dropped from 7.3 to 3.7 percent in 2003 (Lei 2004). In addition, the Chinese
currency exchange rate is not floating but is fixed to the U.S. dollar and it is said to be
artificially low, thus favoring Chinese goods in the U.S. market. In addition, the
Chinese furniture industry became highly competitive in terms of quality, materials,
and manufacturing efficiencies. While the quality of their furniture was not high just 2
to 3 years ago, today China manufactures world-class quality products. Raw material
availability is an important constraint for Chinese furniture manufacturers since this
industry depends heavily on imported wood (Xiufang and Bean 2002).

Although growing slower than China, Malaysia and the Philippines have seen
increases in furniture exports to the United States in the last 9 years, 59 and 28
percent, respectively. Their strategy includes combining softwoods with hardwoods as
raw materials, low wages, and strong export-oriented policies (Hoh 2004). Many
overseas furniture buyers consider the Philippines to be a center of creative furniture
design in Asia (Corpuz 2005).

In Thailand, the industry has diversified, especially toward export-oriented


manufacturing (70% of production goes to exports). The main importers of wood
products from Thailand are the United States (37%), Japan (27%), and European
countries (15%) (Preechajarn 2004)

Vietnam is an example of perhaps the most impressive emerging furniture


exporter. Its furniture sales to the United States increased from $253,000 in 1996 to
$375 million in 2004. While not the largest in volume, it represents the most
aggressive increase in furniture exports to the United States in the last decade.
Because manufacturing wages are even lower than China's, more than 60 foreign
wood products companies have invested in Vietnam between 1996 and 2002 (Houng
and Dao 2002) with the goal of cutting manufacturing costs. There are more than
1,500 wood-processing sites in Vietnam with a potential capacity of 2.8 million
[m.sup.3] in 2004 (Dao 2005) but actually running at only about 50 percent
efficiency.

2.2.5 Expect Furniture Industry Growth in Asia


By 2010, China is forecast to exceed Italy's
production and become the No. 1 wood furniture
production and export country in the world (Lei 2004).
The Vietnamese government estimates that in 2010, the wood products
industry will reach $1 billion in exports (Houng and Dao 2002). This successful rising
of the Vietnamese wood and furniture industry is due to several factors, including the
Vietnamese government's intervention programs to accelerate the growth of the solid
wood products industry, upgrades in technology and equipment, and one of the lowest
wage rates in manufacturing.

2.2.6 Furniture Industry in Thailand


Furniture connoisseurs from around the world have always prized pieces from
Southeast Asia both for their use of exclusive natural materials and the elegant styles
influenced by the unique cultures and lifestyles found in the region. Thailand's
furniture industry is one of the strongest in the region due to its superior production
quality, innovative and modern styling, and flexibility in material use as well as the
county's relative political and economic stability compared to competitors in Vietnam,
Indonesia, and Malaysia.
The big story in Thai furniture these days is style, which is helping drive
double-digit growth in the local industry's exports. Trade buyers target Thailand's
shows specifically to source furniture that offers better styling than in other Asian
markets. End-users around the world want Asian-influenced design these days, but
until recently few manufacturers could offer quality wares in this category. Thai
companies are helping fill the gap with a variety of hand-crafted furnishings, mostly
using natural materials. Thailand's plentiful supply of raw materials and its corps of
skilled craftsmen are the strength of its furniture industry, which has 2,500 companies
and employs 400,000 people. Together they have made Thailand the fourth largest
exporter of furniture in Asia.
Mr. Phusit Sasitaranondha, Managing Director of Expolink Global Network
Ltd. He also added that “A number of businessmen from the sector and foremost
furniture designers in Thailand are very keen to participate the fair as Thailand’s
Department of Export Promotion will provide high support to the exhibitors because

To be, and be recognized as, the low cost leader furniture store in Surat Thani, as well as provide

16

the department realized that this will be a very good opportunity for Thai’s furniture
exporters to promote their products to the World’s market. Moreover, Koelnmesse
will also help promoting Thai Pavilion.” The Koelnmesse Group is one of the world’s
largest trade show organizing companies and is the fourth largest in term of exhibition
space. On regular basis, The Koelnmesse Group is host to over 42,000 exhibiting
companies from 120 countries and two million visitors from 175 countries.
Mr. Pusit mentioned about the situation of furniture industry in Thailand that
“Currently, Furniture industry in Thailand has shown a very good progress, especially
in applying the creative materials to the designs and modern lifestyle. Nowadays, Thai
designers are well accepted internationally. But, we need to pay more attention on the
competition; especially China; our direct competitor. During the past few years, China
used to stress its effort in increasing the sales, but now China has also provided well-
designed products. Therefore, Thailand must seriously improve our designs in order to
compensate with the increase in labor cost and Thai government should provide more
support to the sector in this aspect. Once our designs are well accepted by World
market, they will add a lot of values to ours products.

2.2.6.1 Export – Import of furniture in Thailand


Western style furniture emerged in Thailand over 200 years ago, imported
from France during the reign of King Louis XVI. The first pieces of western furniture
made their way into the homes of Thailand's nobility and the country's wealthiest
families, with citizens of lower rank and wealth settling for locally crafted replicas of
the fine European pieces.
The imported furniture influenced local craftsmen, predominantly newly
settled Chinese artisans who quickly became skilled in using Thailand's large supply
of teak wood to emulate the classical European designs. Along with production of
classic designs, styles began to reflect Thai and
regional culture as well as incorporating traditional
materials readily available in Southeast Asia.
The 20th century saw Thailand emerge as the
world's premier supplier of teak wood and products,
with the durable hard wood being used for furniture, flooring, in ship production and
in countless other ways. Unsustainable logging programs, political corruption

To be, and be recognized as, the low cost leader furniture store in Surat Thani, as well as provide
variety choice to buy for customer
17

combined with unscrupulous business practices severely eroded Thailand's supply of


teak wood. The process of deforestation contributed to a series of massive floods in
Northern Thailand, which formerly had large swathes of the tropical tree, leading to a
countrywide ban on the commercial logging of teak in 1989. The ban jolted the local
furniture industry, forcing manufacturers to source imported teak wood or to find a
new kind of wood.
Thailand's furniture industry quickly adapted to the teak logging ban and has
largely relied and emphasized the use of parawood, a processed wood produced from
old rubber trees that no longer produce sufficient quantities of rubber. Every 30 years,
plantation rubber trees are felled and replanted as the tree's yield of rubber
substantially declines at that age. The potential supply of parawood in Thailand is
almost limitless, as the country is the world's leading natural rubber producer and has
vast plantations of rubber trees being replaced on an on-going basis. The shift in
production by Thailand's furniture makers from teak to parawood has energized the
local industry, while giving another source of revenue to rubber producers in the
country.
The furniture industry in Thailand has experience strong growth over the past
decade. While domestic demand suffered significantly during the economic crisis,
exports have remained buoyant and registered US$ 794 million in 1999 with the
principle destinations being Japan and the United States. The industry's exports have
registered slight growth over the past few years after experiencing a 75% increase
between 1991 and 1994. Further growth has been registered over the first eight
months of 2000 as furniture exports are up 17% over the previous year.
The export of furniture from Thailand is
dominated by wooden products, which comprise
over 70% of the total export figure, with metal
furniture being the second largest product in the
category registering just over 10%. Wooden
furniture manufacturers have adapted well to the
shift to parawood and currently use it in 60% of
production and 80% of wooden furniture exports.
Thailand's wooden furniture industry faces considerable competition from
regional competitors, Malaysia, Indonesia, Vietnam, Taiwan and China in particular.
Malaysia was the first country to use parawood for large-scale furniture production

To be, and be recognized as, the low cost leader furniture store in Surat Thani, as well as provide
variety choice to buy for customer
18

and benefits from slightly lower production costs than Thailand. China is beginning to
import processed rubber-wood for use in its furniture manufacturing industry and
enjoys the advantage of significantly cheaper labor expenses. As rival countries
advance their production quality, the level of competition for Thailand's furniture
exporters is expected to heat up.
Various government agencies and industry representatives have been active in
promoting and encouraging Thailand's furniture exports. The Department of Export
Promotion (DEP) stepped up its efforts in showcasing Thailand's furniture exporters
during the economic crisis when domestic purchases of furniture slumped by over 70
percent. The DEP currently works with the Thailand Furniture Industry Association to
stage an annual trade show, along with coordinating participation in relevant trade
events abroad.
Furniture manufacturers have also been active in displaying their products in
the DEP's newly constructed 'Export Mart', which allows exporters a site to showcase
their products on a permanent basis to prospective buyers visiting Thailand.
Thailand's Board of Investment has also been active in lobbying for lowered or
exemptions on import taxes on imported raw materials for Thailand's furniture
industry, including those on paint, glue, lacquer and hinges.

2.2.7 Expect Thailand furniture industry


The Association of Southeast
Asian Nations (ASEAN) and India have
signed a long-awaited free trade
agreement (FTA) which would take effect
next year and increase trade between
ASEAN and India to US$60 billion within
seven years. Under the agreement, ASEAN members and India will reduce import
tariffs to zero for more than 80 per cent of their total imported goods between 2013 to
2016 while import tariffs for sensitive goods will be reduced to 5 per cent in 2016.
It is expected that trade between ASEAN and India will increase to US$60
billion within seven year or 2016 after the trade volume in previous year was US$47
billion. Among ASEAN countries, Thailand ranks forth in export market share to
India after Singapore, Malaysia and Indonesia. The FTA agreement will enable

member countries to reduce tariffs from January 1, 2010, onwards, she said, adding
that Thai export products which would benefit from the agreement include automotive
components, gemstones and ornaments, telecommunications equipment, electrical
appliances, furniture and cosmetics.

2.2.8 Industry overview and competition: ready-made furniture


The political situation and economic downturn which began in 2007 with
continuation into 2008 has affected the real estate market. Growth receded and has
adversely affected furniture markets as it is a complement market to real estate. The
overall big picture in the first half of the year improved after the new government was
formed-leading to more investment confidence in private sectors. Condominium
projects along mass transit routes still continue to grow just as mid-town
condominium projects. The second half of the year was not as strong as the demand
for furniture met a slowdown due to the U.S economic turmoil, high fuel costs, sub-
prime and real-estate problems which drastically impacted financial institutions who

To be, and be recognized as, the low cost leader furniture store in Surat Thani, as well as provide
variety choice to buy for customer
20

started tightening credit and lending. In addition, the uncertain political climate took a
toll on Thai economy, again, affecting real estate markets and consumer spending.
Besides macro factors that affected Thailandûs economic conditions, the
company faced challenges from intense competition within the industry from both
domestic and international markets. Importers from China, Malaysia and Vietnam are
low-cost producers; therefore creating a need to compete fiercely among these
newcomers. This factor directed our strategy to go beyond designs and to managing
cost and efficiency of our production. Furniture production calls for careful
management of costs to retain margins despite the pressure from the rising cost of
materials. Low-end furniture still dominated the market by volume; therefore, we
challenged ourselves to come up with very unique products to differentiate ourselves
from the rest. This was not an easy task. We have done research on consumer
behavior and designed our products to precisely meet the desire of our consumers. On
the production side, we paid close attention to the development of technology to add
more value to our production, to enhance quality, to take efficiency to the next level
and to emphasize on our after-sales services. All these factors aides us in competition
and enables Modernform to charge premium prices.

competitor. Since, the most competitors in grade B and C store in Surat Thani
ordering product from the suppler from Bangkok and perimeter so competitor will pay
relatively high cost but if we order product from Lampoon we can pay relatively low
cost. So, we can set low price than competitor. From strategy we use, “set low price”
than competitor is the best way to entries in market in Surat Thani because order from
Lampoon is unheeded by competitor. We should be use opportunity for take market
share and customer royalty in Surat Thani which competitors also do not know. If

normal situation that the sale in this 2 mouth can be any value in this ranges there is
no more critical factor effected. From March to May the sale increase and peak in

continues to increase every year and the Personal and Household goods also
increasing every year about 10 % in average 8 year, and in the chapter 2 many giant
furniture store such as SB furniture, Index furniture also expected the growth rate

3.7.1 Sale on sale forecast


Because of the variety of the product of the Erawan furniture, and there are
many ways to divided the furniture in to group but it difficult to estimated the revenue

sale about 80% of total sale in the first year , special product can generate sale about
20% of total sale in the first year, and the second hand product about 0% in the first

the Thai civil commercial law in the section of 654 that the loan interest rate need not

pay the principal as well as must pay the all of the principal which is 10,000,000 baht

sale forecast in the chapter 3 that there are 2 types of sale which are on cash and on
credit sale. For the sale, Erawan furniture estimate to increase about 8 % in every year
Cost of goods sold, because the sale forces of Erawan furniture is estimated
from the percentage of potential market of Surat Thani and there are a lot of cost of
product of Erawan furniture, so the to reduce the complexity of the cost of goods sold
in the income statement Erawan furniture use the percentages of the gross margin of
the price strategy that has represented in the chapter 4 to be the base for estimated the
percentage for the cost of goods sold.
All of them have already including in the cost of goods sold in the income
statement. From interview the furniture store entrepreneur, the price of the goods from
supplier increase quite not much more for each year it about 2%-3% per 2 years in
average. Thus, Erawan furniture increase sale by 3% in year 3 and 4 and 4% in year 5
from year 1

Chapter 6
Risk Management
172

This chapter explains about risk of company. In the real life, it is a lot of and
varieties risk which occur different depend on industries, generally involve grouping
and assessing risk under the following heading; Strategic, Operational, Compliance
(including health and safety), Environmental, and Financial. We will show chart of
Measuring the impact and likelihood of risk for measuring level of risk.

6.1 Business risk

The most business has problem about risk. So, many owner of business find to
the best way for reduce risk and in Erawan Furniture too. It is clear that risk
management is now a core business process and should be planned accordingly and
on a continuing basis so as to reduce and protect risk and volatility and improve
returns.

6.2 Erawan Furniture risk


Our company divided by 8 risks which identify 5 groups as follow:

6.2.1 Strategic
It arises from being in a particular industry and geographical area.
Erawan furniture has a particular industry, it is second hand product which the most
furniture store don’t have its. This Erawan furniture risk is:
¾ Risk of purchasing stolen things, the customer might stole the furniture
from anywhere and sold to us to be the discount.

6.2.2 Operational
It arises from the various operational and administrative procedures
that the business uses to implement its strategy. Erawan furniture has a second hand
product which is strategic so, we must fix second hand product before sale again by
mechanicals of company. We have transportation to customers when they order big
product.
This Erawan furniture risk is:
¾ Risk of accident by work
¾ Risk of accident by logistic

173

6.2.3 Compliance (including health and safety)


It derives from the necessity to ensure compliance with laws, regulations and
other less formal social expectations which, if infringed, can damage a company.
Health and safety risks are sometimes straightforward and can be considered as a
subset of compliance or operational risk, but in many industries (e.g. transport) health
and safety are key areas which require major resources and concentration so, this
Erawan furniture risk is:
¾ Risk of health and safety of employee
¾ Risk of robber

6.2.4 Environmental
It can be relatively routines and covered under compliance but in many
businesses (and in an increasingly large number) they are a major area requiring
separate consideration. The most risk environmental south of Thailand is season so,
so, this Erawan furniture risk is:
¾ Risk of fire
¾ Risk of flood-waters

6.3 Measuring the impact and likelihood of risk


The risks must then be evaluated in terms of their likelihood of occurrence and
their severity if they do occur. There are a number of ways of doing this, including
‘risk mapping’, which plots the likelihood of the risk occurring on one axis and the
severity or impact of the risk on the other.
Impact can be measured in many ways ultimately there will be a financial
effect but as this is often extremely difficult to calculate with any certainty, businesses
often use a series of levels (measuring the overall effect on the business or selected
business unit in a larger organization). Whatever method is chosen it must be clear
and easily understood by everyone in the organization.
Once each risk is plotted, the chart can be divided into categories of risk,
usually high (top right corner), medium and low (bottom left corner). The
concentration should then be on reducing the higher risk items lying in the top right
corner of the chart.

174

The chart show level of likelihood and impact by likelihood have 14 level
measuring 1 to 14 or low to high possible and impact have 8 level measuring 1 to 8 or
low to high, too.

A Risk of purchasing stolen things


B Risk of robber
C Risk of health and safety of employee
D Risk of accident by work
E Risk of flood-waters
F Risk of fire
G Risk of accident by logistic

6.3.1 Explanation about the graph

6.4 Appropriate action for risks


We uses generally the four main ways of dealing with risks are grouped as
follows:
¾ Accept
¾ Transfer (usually via insurance)
¾ Reduce/manage
¾ Eliminate

6.4.1 Risk of purchasing stolen things

¾ The business of small shop or office will consider only Class 1 buildings (all
concrete walls) and buildings, Class 2nd floor (half a block half wall wood)
Located in the Bangkok and all of Muang Districts in the country only

damages.

6.4.5.3 Threats of protect.

2. Lightning.
3. Gas explosion of cooking that used to live in the household

6.4.5.4 Buildings
It can calculate the cost of insurance. Total area is square meters multiplied by
construction value per square meter, following formula to calculate
Size of store = width (m) x Long (m) number of units x number of booths
30 x 35 x 1 x 1= 1,050 square meter.

Class 2 buildings (half wall wood building) = 6,000 baht / square meters
Therefore, Erawan Furniture selects class 1 because building of Erawan
furniture used concrete everything for durability and we will calculate of sum
insurance premium by
Sum insured= Size of store (m) x type of store (฿)
1, 050 x 8,000 = 8,400,000 Baht

6.4.8 Financial risk


For the financial risk, Erawan furniture show the risk acceptable in the from of
the scenario that explain about the volume of sale cost, and expense that might
change.

6.4.8.1 Expense and cost analysis


Erawan furniture needs not to concern more because the expense can be
controlled by the Erawan furniture that will adjust to be increase or decrease
Marketing expense has 2 type of cost which is fixed and variable. The variable
cost are the sale commission and cash discount that we be increased or decreased
depend on the sale for each month that Erawan furniture can control the rate of sale
commission or discount. Fixed expense such as radio local, calendar etc also control
by the Erawan furniture that Erawan furniture need not aware more about those
expense. Thus, Erawan furniture need not to concern more about the marketing
expense when it increase or decrease because Erawan furniture can control all of
them.
Operating expense, also has both fixed and variable cost. The variable cost of
the cost of the operating expense including fuel that depends on sale, and electricity
that depend on the inventory purchasing, and the bad dept
If the price of fuel increased it will affect the fuel expense in the income
statement but the fluctuation of the oil price dose not effect more with the net income
of Erawan furniture. In the real situation the fee of electricity quite not fluctuation so
the expense for the electivity in the operating expense dost not affect Erawan furniture
more.

184

For the bad dept is the account receivable that cannot collected the cash from
the customer, it also be the risk for Erawan furniture
The fixed expense including the depreciation and office supply that the
depreciation is the fixed expense that cannot be change, so it is not concerned to be
the risk for the expense. But the office supply can be control by Erawan furniture
Administrative expense, the mainly part of the administrative expense are the
fixed expense that including salary, insurance expense, rental land, property tax
expense, facia tax, and administrative depreciation that can not be change in the
scenario analysis. There are only utility expense and office supply that change in the
scenario analysis.
For the scenario analysis we expected that the expense will increase by 100%
for each year

6.4.8.2 Base sale fore estimation

Sale in Year 1 100%


Sale in Year 2 108%
Sale in Year 3 117%
Sale in Year 4 126%
Sale in Year 5 136%

6.4.8.3 Base for the cost of goods sold estimation


The cost of goods sold
year 1 100%
year 2 100%
year 3 103%
year 4 103%
year 5 104%

Scenario 1 Sale decrease but cost, and expense is the same that can be
acceptable by there are not negative in the net income for each month for each month
and also have the principal enough for pay to the investor.

1 Year 1 decrease by 14% to be 84% in the estimation


2 Year 2 decrease by 15% to be 93% in the estimation
3 Year 3 decrease by 15% to be 102% in the estimation
4 Year 4 decrease by 15% to be 111% in the estimation
5 Year 5 decrease by 15% to be 121 % in the estimation

To be, and be recognized as, the low cost leader furniture store in Surat Thani, as well as provide

For the scenario 1 represent the maximum of sale that can be decreasing by
dose not affect the investor and the overall of business that Erawan furniture need not
to do anything that net income in all of year still be positive that still has the liquidity
enough to operate the business and pay compensation to the investor for every month
In this scenarios represent the percentage of decreasing in sale that higher
However, Erawan furniture can be accept by did not adjust any thing. Because we
have higher in the gross margin
However, if they occur in the real situation, Erawan furniture need to find out
adjust the organization and strategy particularly in the cost to solve this problem by
try to increase the sale or reduce the cost.

Scenario 2 Cost of goods sold increase but sale and expense still be the same.
The risk for increasing in cost of goods sold is very low from the filed trip survey, so
we assume that the cost will increase about 7% of estimation for each year. That is
scenario quite less possibility to occur in the real situation. How ever if it occur the
investor also have the total principle repayment at the end of year 5.

6.4.8.4 Base for the cost of goods sold estimation


The cost of goods sold
year 1 100%
year 2 100%
year 3 103%
year 4 103%
year 5 104%

1 Year 1 increase by 7% to be 117% in the estimation


2 Year 2 increase by 7% to be 117% in the estimation
3 Year 3 increase by 7% to be 110% in the estimation
4 Year 4 increase by 7% to be 110% in the estimation
5 Year 5 increase by 7% to be 111% in the estimation

This scenario effect to reduce net income in less a month of the Erawan
furniture, so Erawan furniture can accept if the cost reduces by 15% of estimation for
each year.
