Lightweight panels, as an eco-friendly element for furniture manufacturing, offer several potential market and production opportunities for many secondary woodworking companies. In this study, the perceptions of Iranian furniture manufacturers were evaluated by means of ANP-based multi-type questionnaires, regarding the conditions and requisite features of lightweight panels in furniture manufacturing. The ANP results revealed that product design, quality and price were effective sub-criteria for furniture manufacturers. The most important attributes for choosing panels during the manufacturing process were: lack of panel warping, product abundance in the market, and withdrawal resistance of connectors. Manufacturers indicated that they were aware of the advantages lightweight panels would bring them, but they were still in need of further persuasion concerning the quality and workability of lightweight panels. Combining lightweight and conventional panels for furniture manufacturing could lead to an increased interest in assuring furniture quality. In addition, further development of lightweight panels is necessary to increase the variation in the market.

家具制造商偏爱使用轻质人造板作为环保产品

轻质板作为家具制造的环保元素，为许多二手木工公司提供了一些潜在的市场和生产机会。在这项研究中，通过基于ANP的多类型问卷调查对伊朗家具制造商的看法进行了评估，以了解轻质板在家具制造中的条件和必要特征。ANP结果表明，产品设计，质量和价格是家具制造商有效的子标准。在制造过程中选择面板的最重要属性是：面板翘曲不足，市场上的产品丰富以及连接器的抗拔性。制造商表示，他们知道轻质面板将带来的优势，但是他们仍然需要进一步说服轻质面板的质量和可操作性。将轻质和传统的面板相结合来制造家具可能会导致人们对确保家具质量的兴趣增加。另外，轻型面板的进一步开发对于增加市场的多样性是必要的。
