Introduction
The document discusses the collaboration between Swedish furniture manufacturer Skandiform and TENTE, focusing on the development of the Anika castor to meet specific design and efficiency requirements. This partnership resulted in a significant reduction in assembly times by a third.

Background
Skandiform, part of the Kinnarps Group, is a leading supplier of office and public space furniture, known for its high-quality and award-winning designs. The company collaborates with renowned designers and has a clientele that includes major companies like Volvo and Scania.

Design and Efficiency Requirements
Skandiform's commitment to quality led them to use TENTE's castors. However, initial tests of the Anika castor on certain chairs revealed aesthetic and assembly challenges. The distance between the castor and chair legs was too large, and the assembly process was cumbersome.

Solution Development
TENTE's Swedish and French teams collaborated to redesign the fastening stem of the Anika castor. The new design included a groove for tightening and a shorter thread lock, improving the castor's appearance and reducing assembly time. TENTE pre-greased the threads, eliminating manual greasing and reducing assembly errors.

Benefits
The redesign reduced assembly time by four minutes per chair, enhancing productivity and cost efficiency. This improvement allows Skandiform to handle high order volumes more effectively, delivering products faster to customers.

Conclusion
The partnership between Skandiform and TENTE exemplifies how tailored mobility solutions can enhance productivity, safety, and design in furniture manufacturing.
