Aeron chair: they now take 17

Herman Miller seconds to pull the chair of the
line and box it, when in the past
it took over 82 seconds to the
same thing; the chair is now
totally produced in 340 seconds
when in the past it took over 600
seconds in total to build it;
safety metrics have improved by
a factor of 6; quality metrics have
improved by a factor of 10. The
labor force and even the facilities
have been impacted as a single
Aeron nowadays takes one fifth
of the labor to make it and the

smaller.
