Safety in our Parts Supply Chain Group<br />
Each year our parts centres make <strong>more</strong> <strong>than</strong> 15 million<br />
movements <strong>of</strong> parts to satisfy customers and our<br />
objective is to perform this task in <strong>the</strong> safest possible way.<br />
Unfortunately we have not achieved our challenge <strong>of</strong> zero<br />
accidents. However we are making positive steps towards<br />
this goal.<br />
Our strategy includes maximising actions and learning<br />
from every single accident and incident across our network<br />
through clear communication and Yokoten. This has<br />
resulted in a drop in frequency, as shown in <strong>the</strong> graph.<br />

Ergonomics in Manufacturing<br />
In September we held <strong>the</strong> fi rst dedicated on-site ergonomics<br />
conference, bringing toge<strong>the</strong>r ergonomic specialists<br />
from all our manufacturing plants across Europe. One <strong>of</strong><br />
<strong>the</strong> topics tackled <strong>by</strong> <strong>the</strong> group was continuous improvement<br />
<strong>of</strong> our common ergonomic assessment system.<br />
To ensure we have <strong>the</strong> very best ergonomic skills within<br />
our organisation, <strong>the</strong>re have also been a number <strong>of</strong><br />
training opportunities. Specialists were given training on<br />
using <strong>the</strong> revised assessment system. Our engineers who<br />
are responsible for <strong>the</strong> design <strong>of</strong> machinery were also<br />
provided with awareness training.<br />

In addition to measures to continue STOP 6 improvements<br />
and improve awareness among all levels <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong><br />
organisation, in 2010 our parts supply group implemented<br />
ergonomic assessments.<br />
All warehouses were assessed with our ergonomic<br />
assessment tool and improvements were implemented in<br />
different warehouses in Europe.<br />
As an example, one <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> ergonomic improvements<br />
realised in <strong>the</strong> receiving area in TPCE is shown in <strong>the</strong><br />
photographs.<br />

BEFORE<br />
Before : The team member frequently bends<br />
forward to reach parts from <strong>the</strong> container.<br />
AFTER<br />
After : Following <strong>the</strong> in-house assessment,<br />
and Kaizen, posture was improved, signifi cantly<br />
reducing <strong>the</strong> burden to <strong>the</strong> team member.<br />
Both safety and ergonomics activities undertaken <strong>by</strong><br />
PSCG are in line with <strong>the</strong> strategic objective to change<br />
step <strong>by</strong> step from a reactive to a proactive safety culture.<br />
Offi ce Ergonomics in TME<br />
Reducing ergonomic burden in <strong>the</strong> <strong>of</strong>fice environment<br />
and providing information to members on how to reduce<br />
this risk has been a focus for TME in FY10.<br />
