Product Group Manager & Ergonomics specialist
Lean and ergonomics have often been set on opposing sides. It has been assumed that if you take lean production too far, it will lose the human factor, and people will not be able to perform long-term. If we dig a little deeper than that, we find that the practical truth can be something else.

Organisation increases efficiency; choose durable storage bins for industrial use
In various technical and industrial working environments, according to the lean philosophy, every item must find its own place. One important element in maintaining order is the storage bins, where all important items can easily be found at a glance. In order to increase efficiency, make sure that you minimise the time spent on looking for things and ensure that it is effortless to put even the smallest items back where they belong.
In this article, we will stimulate your thoughts on the choice of storage bins. A little work on organisation can make operations significantly more efficient and can improve ergonomics and safety at work, not to mention the level of comfort and the company brand and image.
