While the management of the Space planning process along the lines of efficiency, good use of vertical space, strategic placement of the right furniture in the right places and other elements including current technology.... we must include a furniture manufacturer that is equally efficient in their approach to affordable manufacturing....is their such a company? Oh, but their is such a company that stands out in the market place. This company not only represents the concept of efficient manufacturing but has been recognized with a prestigious award by the Shingo folks as one of very few that have been evaluated and celebrated to hold this very special award. The company that I am referring to is Affordable Interior Systems, from the Boston area. This company has charged into the Systems furniture arena and has seized a good market share not the least of which has to do with their style and commitment to 'lean manufacturing'. As the process of Space Planning a company begins to evolve into an end product, an affordable product, and an efficient use of space....the flavor of a high tech looking systems furniture like AIS leaves its mark as a great choice amongst some very successful and famous systems manufacturers.  Cost of the product itself alongside creative applications in the laying out of the floorplan are a powerful combination when customers look back @ the finished product.
