Problem Statement: Drafting course is essential for students in the design disciplines for becoming more organized and for complying with standards in the educational system. Drafting knowledge is crucial, both for comprehension of the issues and for the implementation phase. In any design project, drafting performance and success are as important as the design process, especially in the educational environments aimed at professional life. However, there have been relatively any studies undertaken in the area of the success and time saving of the conventional drafting and computer-aided drafting (CAD) techniques, besides the design process, especially for furniture and interior design educations. In this direction, some questions emerge in the study. Is there really a difference on quality, success and drafting time between conventional drafting and CAD techniques in interior drafting field? If there is a difference, at which time or process does the drafting technique gain speed?Purpose of study: The purpose of this study was to determine the effects of conventional and computer-aided drafting (CAD) techniques on drafting performances of design students. Furthermore, it was explored which technique was more time, speed and quality-efficient.Methods: To verify this study, students were asked to draw a sample of a two-dimensional technical drawing with an interior plan by using the conventional and CAD techniques at different times within a 60-minute * Corresponding author: Department of Interior Architecture and Environmental Design, Hacettepe University, Ankara, Turkey. aysenoz@gmail.com ** Department of Furniture and Decoration, Gazi University, Ankara, Turkey. kemaly@gazi.edu.tr 240Ayşen Özkan & Kemal Yıldırım period. The task was designed to ensure that the students understood the principles of technical drawing and could edit sufficiently to draft the plan. Findings and Results:According to the results, it can be stated that there was no meaningful difference between the decision-making process for choosing the drawing method and perceiving the drawing was made by the students with both methods in the first 5 minutes. The difference in quality may be due to the advantages of the CAD technique at the 30 th minute. At the end of the 60 th minute, a huge difference was observed between the conventional and CAD and the CAD was more successful than the conventional drafting. Consequently, the CAD technique has a better outcome from the aspect of time and quality compared to the conventional technique. Conclusions and Recommendations:It can be stated that CAD has a significant impact on the drafting performances of design students from the aspect of time spent. The furniture and interior design departments should place emphasis on the educational process for the drafting technique in order to increase quality and save time. The drafting course hours should be increased for the design students, so that drafting success can become more efficient for those entering in the professional area.

“…For instance, Building Information Modelling (BIM) (Sebastian, 2010) technology can enable the completion of the projects in lesser time by using the intelligent objects which are available in the database and can be used without building them from scratch, thus saving time and other resources. Computer-Aided Design (CAD) (Döngel et al, 2009) enhances the digital imagery for customers from the design to the manufacturing stage, and the customers can get the products of their choice by modifying the size and shape of the furniture to fit into their requirements. " All these technologies have to be managed for the benefit of the manufacturer and ultimately, they influence the perceived usefulness (PRU) of the customers, which is the most essential component of the TAM model.…”

The purpose of this research is to identify the drivers of innovativeness in a furniture manufacturing company. The scenario is the business environment where the hybridization of Technology Management (TM) and Knowledge Management (KM) is operative to promote innovation. The elements of the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) and Socialization-Externalization-Internalization-Externalization (SECI) Model of KM have been modeled and used for simulation for the identification of the role played by the factors influencing the furniture design information conversion rate. The research follows the case study method to research as it draws data from a single company. Data from a multinational furniture manufacturing company that has over 10,000 products and operates in 24 countries have been used for simulation purposes. Results have shown that among the five factors that influence information conversion rate, the company should focus on correction efficiency and calculation efficiency enhancement if the aim is to maximize product and process innovations; and enhance contextualization efficiency if the priority is immediate results of innovativeness improvement. The results have also shown that about 615 innovative products and processes can be produced in six months by improving the correction efficiency to 80%. The theoretical implication of the study is in the form of a model which can be used by innovative companies to identify the critical factors that influence innovativeness, and the practical implications are in the form of suggestions to the managers of the furniture manufacturing company to enhance their innovativeness so as to gain competitive advantage in business.

“…• Other furniture related products This categorisation of manufactured furniture shows that this form of manufacturing requires specified detailed attention and consideration towards the design of furniture. In this modern age, furniture design incorporates the design of functional spaces, furniture and product design to accommodate different tasks and lifestyles [3] and to fulfil the fundamental necessities of people in everyday life [4]. This indicates a paradigm shift from traditional manufacturing to a world of agile manufacturing [5].…”

This paper identifies weaknesses in the ergonomics and design advancements of household furniture. This paper suggests recommendations to enhance the satisfaction and support of ergonomic furniture. Furniture and interior wares are the chosen products of interest, and are specifically emphasised in the context of home living. This paper includes an ergonomics focus on the engineering and industrial design of household furniture, but does not include an analysis of biomechanics, physiology and anthropometry. Based on evaluations of patents from 1980 to 2013, this paper suggests that a user-centred design would be an ideal choice for designers as it potentially promotes customer satisfaction and simultaneously improves the health and well-being of users. The paper synthesises the consensuses of furniture consumers which include data from trends, demands, complexities and preferences.
