Side rolling chair for large scale assembly tasks

Problem

Stationary fixtures and tools forced workers into at-risk biomechanical postures when performing machining and assembly tasks

Significant incidence of RMI

Issue

Lower back injuries triggered from continual forward lean, static positioning & maneuvering tools to/from workbench

Shoulder / arm injuries occurred from extended reach and associated at-risk postures

Solution

Develop A unique production device developed to hold aircraft assembly jigs and fixtures. Primarily used to establish Lean Manufacturing processes, requiring flexible work cell arrangements and optimum handling

Result

Significantly reduces cell downtime by moving fixture set up to non production support areas – mounting activities can be performed in tool crib

Increased production rate due to efficient handling and access to parts

Ability to perform all low level and high level work tasks without at-risk postures

Reduction of RMI incidence
