We have provided in-house consulting on Ergonomics to over 75 manufacturing companies. This seminar will discuss examples of practical solutions and also explain why some plants are successful in implementing Ergonomics while others are struggling. You may bring an actual problem to the class for analysis. Use of calculator is required in this class.
