Picture one workstation on your production floor. Same bench, same task, same tooling.
Your shorter operators are reaching above shoulder height all shift. Your taller operators are hunched over the same bench, loading their necks and lower backs. Different bodies, different injury pathways, and the same drag on quality, throughput, and turnover. Most ergonomics programs never catch this, because catching it means assessing every worker at every station, and nobody has the hours for that.
PPG Aerospace partnered with DORN to fix exactly that problem. On August 27, we’re walking through what they did and what it delivered.
The Results
In three months, the initiative produced:
- 66% reduction in overall ergonomic risk
- 73% reduction in above-shoulder reaching
- 97.5% of employees working within the power zone
We’ll show you how each of those numbers was measured, not just what they were.
What You’ll See
- The specific shoulder, neck, and lower-back risks identified on the floor, and how they were found
- How an AI-powered ergonomics initiative was scoped, deployed, and adopted by the workforce
- How to identify risk faster and prioritize improvements without manual calculations
- What made the results stick after the project ended
If you attended the Applied Ergonomics Conference, you may have caught an early version of this presentation. It was one of the most talked-about sessions there. This webinar goes deeper into the case study and focuses on the practical strategies you can apply in your own facility.
Your Speakers
Scott Porterfield — PPG
Melody Schell — Senior Ergonomist, DORN
Melody has spent her career translating ergonomic assessment data into changes that operators actually accept on the floor. Scott brings the operations perspective: what it took to get this approved, deployed, and running inside a live manufacturing environment.
