Accelerate safety, productivity, and quality improvements by combining ergonomics with proven Kaizen and lean manufacturing methods.

What Are ErgoTASK Continuous Improvement Ergonomics Events?

Our Continuous Improvement Events combine the science of ergonomics with the continuous improvement methods of Kaizen to help organizations reduce injury risk, improve productivity and quality, and achieve meaningful cost savings.

Through our ErgoTASK process, organizations engage in a highly focused, hands-on improvement event where real problems are solved in real time—on the production floor.

The ErgoTASK Process

The ErgoTASK process is a customizable 2- to 4-day event designed to train employees and leaders to analyze work environments, solve operational problems, and achieve manufacturing objectives using ergonomic tools and proven lean methodologies.

• Available onsite or virtually
• Minimal classroom instruction
• Majority of time spent on the production floor
• Focused on real, immediate improvements
• Designed for both safety and performance outcomes

Phase 1: Train

Participants gain foundational knowledge needed to recognize ergonomic and process improvement opportunities.

• Train key stakeholders on ergonomics and lean principles
• Identify ergonomic stressors and lean process wastes

Phase 2: Analyze

Teams define success, establish baselines, and evaluate current conditions.

• Establish clear goals for the improvement event
• Establish baseline measurements for future comparison
• Evaluate work areas for ergonomic risks and lean process wastes

Phase 3: Solve

Teams focus on structured problem-solving and control selection.

• Apply problem-solving techniques
• Prioritize improvement opportunities
• Identify effective engineering and administrative controls

Phase 4: Kaizen (Implement & Standardize)

Solutions are implemented immediately and documented for sustainability.

• Implement “Immediate Fixes”
• Establish standardized work based on improvements
• Develop action-item lists for short-term and long-term fixes
• Follow up and evaluate to ensure improvements are effective and sustainable

Benefits of ErgoTASK Continuous Improvement Events
