A major South African furniture manufacturer, Creative Design (PTY) LTD, is concerned about its record relating to the high volume of customer returns on TV cabinets. A considerable amount of time is spent on repairs of items under warranty. Common complaints include that shelves are loose, doors are not closing, and the edges are loose. Most of the returns are from major chain stores. This is creating high levels of uncertainty. One of the major chain stores recently cancelled all their orders and threatened to close their account should this pattern of returns continue. Another frustration is the turnaround time of repairs: it takes 15 to 20 working days to repair a TV cabinet. The numerous problems identified include long lead times for raw materials, load shedding, the high rate of incomplete jobs, poor quality materials used to repair damages, non-conforming materials and incorrect parts received from suppliers. Further delays are caused by inexperienced artisans, high absenteeism and unspecified parts replaced, causing further returns and reworks.
