    Injury Rate vs Forklift Hours

    Does anyone have data that shows the correlation (or even better, an objective formula) between hours/distance of forklift travel and the injury rate in that area?

    Need a Simple Inventory Solution

    I'm working on implementing an inventory control system at my plant, and I was wondering if anyone has advice on some basics that I should cover. This does not need to be a fancy system (RFID is probably way too much cost and complexity for this organization). Primarily I'm looking for advice...

    High Load Living Hinge

    I'm wondering if anyone can point me in the right direction, if there is one. I need to make a living hinge that flexes easily but has high shear and tensile strength. This part will be subjected to several hundred cycles, and will need to withstand tear-type loads of at least 650 lb per 12...

    How to adhere RPVC to Teflon?

    I have an application in which I need to adhere an RPVC part to a painted metal surface. There is an intermediate double-faced foam tape between the two parts. The paint is textured and applied in a powdercoat process. Teflon is used as a flow agent in the powder and is coming to the surface...

    Online documentation and approval

    Does anyone have information regarding electronic documentation and approval? I'm most interested in shareware/freeware/methods for Microsoft Word and Excel add-ins. Also, does anyone know of problems or have success stories for this?

    Packaging Quality

    I'm in a build-to-order manufacturing environment where we paint several types of parts and then package them. Our process involves pulling the parts off the paint line, storing them in baskets, then pulling each basket to a work station. At the work station, an operator identifies the part...
