Replaceable Fabric & Wear Parts Project

Problem and hypothesis.

Problem

Fabric, sisal, cushions, and scratching areas may wear out before the main structure, leading customers to replace the entire product too early.

Hypothesis

Replaceable wear parts can make Globlazer products feel more durable, more responsible, and easier to maintain over time.

A Lab project should move forward only when it can create real value for pets, people, production, and the brand.

What we need to test.

These testing areas help the team decide whether the project should stop, improve, enter product development, or strengthen the brand system.

1. Identify the fastest-wearing components in cat trees and pet furniture.
2. Compare attachment methods for replaceability and strength.
3. Test customer-friendly replacement packaging and instructions.
4. Evaluate SKU complexity and after-sales feasibility.

How we know the project is working.

Each project should have observable signals that show whether the idea deserves to grow.

• Replacement process can be completed easily by customers.
• Parts remain secure during normal pet use.
• Inventory complexity remains manageable.
• Customers understand repairability as product value.
