Life Cycle Management


Furniture life cycle activities managed by AFD via the internet include.

Our Approach... life cycle management
Historically, furniture has been viewed as a commodity, with each component managed individually in fragmented and often costly ways. In contrast, life cycle management views furniture as a component of a larger cycle of activities and costs which, when managed as a whole, can improve corporate performance.

AFD integrates the full range of furniture life cycle services required to provide effective furniture standards supported by an efficient furniture managment program.

Our hands-on experience and expertise support our customers in planning, implementing and managing furniture activites across multiple locations, nationally.
