Dollars and sense : make your ergonomics budget go a long way / by Darcy Lewis

Sumario: Mention ergonomics and what first comes to mind be capital improvements such as major assembly-line modifications or materials-handling innovations. Such changes can cost thousands of dollars and take months or years to implement. Many people think ergonomics is too expensive and takes too long. "People can get good results relatively quickly by specifically targeting low-cost solutions", say David Alexander, president of Auburn Engineers in Auburn, Ala. "The key is being able to treat your improvement as an expense item rather than a capital appropriation because it's an easier approval process"
