By: TR Cutler In an article entitled, “Body Knowledge: Improved Ergonomics = Improved Productivity” Product designers say many of their better ideas come from customers. "People don't sit around thinking, ‘I guess I'll go out and buy a lift table today.’ They have a specific job that needs to be done, or a problem to be solved. They come to the equipment provider and go from there. Either we have it or we make it,” noted Galante. A division of Southworth Products, Retail Handling Solutions is poised to address the fact that store goods are handled multiple times, often in awkward positions and almost all operations are done over and over again. Safety problems are clearly an issue and applications to improve productivity abound. Recognizing that retail store operations are significantly different from manufacturing and somewhat different from warehousing, Retail Handling Solutions was created to concentrate the practical application of ergonomics on the specific circumstances of the retail work environment. Limited space, high volumes, thin margins, packaging necessities, as well as consideration for in-store shoppers and merchandising frequently require a unique approach to optimizing the productivity and safety of these stock handling applications.
