Continuous Improvement Project - Manual Handling - Coggle Diagram
Continuous Improvement Project - Manual Handling
Potential Benefits
Reduce heavy equipment handling in the workplace
Reduced Lead Time
Automation speeds up the process of moving heavy equipment, reducing the time required for manual handling
Reduced Defects (In terms of injuries)
Implementing a mechanical lift system minimizes risks of musculoskeletal injuries, improving overall workplace safety and reducing the likelihood of defects related to employee health
Cost Savings
Despite an initial investment in the lifting assist system(s), the organisation can realise long-term cost savings by preventing workplace injuries, associated medical costs, and potential compensation claims
Improvement Opportunity
Implement mechanical lifting assist system
hydraulic lifts
Conveyors
Automated movement technology
Hoists
Jacks/ Pumps
Reduce heavy equipment handling in the workplace
Data Collection
Current Manual Handling Time
Measure the time spend on manually lifting and moving heavy equipment
Incident Rates
Track the incidence of musculoskeletal injuries related to manual handling over a specific period (e.g., TRIFR, HPFR etc.)
Employee Absenteeism
Collect data on employee absenteeism due to injuries related to manual handling
Equipment Maintenance Costs
Assess the current costs associated with repairing or replacing equipment damaged during manual handling
Problem
Current WHS management system process = SMP contextualized for BU's, Depots, Projects etc.
Objectives and targets
RACI
Risk management
Hazard Identification system
Risk Rating Matrix = Hierarchy of Controls
Induction, training, permits, Verification of Competencies
Complexity of Workplace and WHS Management System (?)
Manual handling of heavy equipment during manufacturing and production processes pose a risk of musculoskeletal injuries to employees
