Product Design
Product design incorporate Green design
principals
Kubis incorporates GREEN design principals when
developing new product lines. They are to include
non-toxic recycled material which require
little energy to process. The components used
will be longer-lasting and better functioning due
to the use of precision tooling that governs the
production of components. New products are
designed for afterlife use and are therefore 95
recyclable. The design of standard modular parts
allow for repairs rather than complete
replacement.

Efficient Process
Kubis Production System (KPS) Process
The KPS program aims to reduce the traditional
manufacturing process from a minimum of 22 stages
to a maximum of 7 stages. The system will phase
out 100 manufactured products and phase in kit
form products that require upholstery assembly
only. Design is a fundamental part of the KPS
Process. An increase in transport costs and
products delivered per region determine where
products should be assembled and distributed.
