Si usted tiene un adolescente el buscar de un trabajo del verano, usted sabe severo sus perspectivas son este año. Algunos expertos del empleo están prediciendo que éste será el mercado de trabajo peor del verano desde los años 50. Los trabajos sostuvieron generalmente por los trabajadores adolescente-envejecidos han sido encajados a presión para arriba por despedido, furloughed, hacia fuera-de-trabajan a adultos que buscaban cualquier manera de hacer que los extremos satisfacen hasta que la economía da vuelta alrededor. Mañana por la mañana cuando usted toma su taza de café, heche una ojeada servir de la persona conducir-por. Usted es más conveniente ver una cara madura que alguno cabrito fresco-hecho frente de la High School secundaria - y la mano de obra colegial dinero-hambrienta tiene todavía golpear el mercado de trabajo del verano. Con los patrones tradicionales del verano cortando detrás, las adolescencias y los collegiates tendrán que pensar fuera de la caja para ganar el dinero para la cuota, las piezas del coche, las ropas y las fechas este verano.

Esto es definitivamente un verano donde las adolescencias y los estudiantes de universidad tendrán que mirar más allá de la alameda y de las licencias locales de los alimentos de preparación rápida para encontrar el empleo. ¡Es hora de pensar fuera de la caja! En años más allá de, los expertos del empleo pudieron haber sugerido que las adolescencias buscan trabajos en la fabricación. Desafortunadamente, la crisis económica ha retardado los E.E.U.U. producción de fabricación, enviando los millares caseros de los E.E.U.U. trabajadores y glutting a la mano de obra de la fabricación. Hay poca oportunidad en la fabricación de este año para inexperto, por horas, trabajadores del verano. Pero hay oportunidad potencial en el cumplimiento, la distribución y el almacenamiento, los expertos del trabajo dicen.

Volunteer to Speak at High School Career Day

April 15, 2009 By: CartPro Category: Business Tips, Material Handling

High schools are starting to schedule annual Career Days. DJ Products encourages business owners and managers to call your local high school guidance department and volunteer to make a presentation. There’s been a lot of press over the past year about dwindling work forces in the material handling, manufacturing, fulfillment and warehousing industries. The need to educate young people about the career potential in our industries has been repeatedly stressed by industry leaders at national association conferences. We need to work now to encourage America’s youth to pursue careers that will benefit and ensure the future of material handling and the U.S. industries so vital to American commerce. High school Career Days give local business leaders a perfect opportunity to talk to America’s future workforce and encourage teens to seek careers in material handling, manufacturing, fulfillment and warehousing.

Partnering with high schools through Career Day, internships and technical training programs are among the nationwide efforts being made to draw future workers to material handling and other industrial careers. A unique partnership in Rock Hill, South Carolina could serve as a model for similar programs across the country. In sponsorship with the Material Handling Industry of America (MHIA) and the Material Handling Education Foundation Inc. (MHEFI), Rock Hill Schools are set to open the Don Frazier Supply Chain Training Center at the end of April. A new addition to its Applied Technology Center, Rock Hill’s new entry-level pilot program will allow high school students to learn by doing in a state-of-the-art, fully equipped, 4,000 square foot warehouse and distribution center, according to a MHIA press release.

Named for industry pioneer and program supporter Don Frazier, founder of Frazier Industrial Co. headquartered in New Jersey, the Don Frazier Material Handling Technical Training Program will provide hands-on learning in material handling and supply chain jobs to high school students in grades 9 through 12. Numerous local and national industry leaders and suppliers contributed to the start up of the Rock Hill program. Modeled after the prestigious Lehigh Career and Technical Institute program at Lehigh University near Allentown, Pennsylvania, it is hoped that the pilot program will serve as a model for the development of similar programs at high school technical centers across the country.

Ergonomic Scissors Lift Adjusts to Workers’ Heights

Bending, twisting and reaching all day long can have workers reaching for the Tylenol well before the day is over. These muscle-torquing activities lead to aches, strains and sprains that slow workers down and can eventually cause musculoskeletal injuries that entail multiple doctor’s visits, costly physical therapy and time off from work, placing an added burden on fellow workers who have to pick up the slack.

This was the problem being experienced by an Ohio manufacturer of aftermarket exhaust systems. Management noticed a high level of sprains and strains reported by workers. Investigation found the culprit to be the awkward positions workers assumed while performing production and packing tasks.

Workers come in different shapes and sizes but, as is true in most facilities, materials were delivered to work stations at a single, stationary height. Since few workers fit the “ideal” height around which equipment and tasks were designed, this meant that most workers, being either shorter or taller than the “ideal” height, were forced to bend, stretch, and strain to perform their work tasks. In the process, they overtaxed and injured muscles.

Company management sought a solution in ergonomics. Ergonomics is the science of fitting equipment and tasks to the capabilities of the worker to eliminate strain on the human body. Ergonomic design allows equipment that will be used by multiple workers to be adjusted to fit the size and capability of each individual. 

In the case of the Ohio exhaust manufacturer, the perfect solution proved to be an ergonomically-designed, portable scissor lift. The portable scissor lift allowed relatively heavy parts (120 lbs.) to be quickly moved from one station to the next. The power scissor feature permitted each worker to quickly and easily adjust the lift bed to the optimal height for his size. The result was virtual elimination of musculoskeletal injuries, an increase in productivity from 65% to 88%, and increased on-time delivery.

The problems experienced by this Ohio company are common to many industries, including manufacturing, fulfillment, packing, logistics, shipping and warehousing. DJ Products’ PWP2000 Cart Puller mobile electric lift table could be the perfect solution for your facility. Our ergonomically-designed, self-propelled electric scissor lift is available in a variety of shapes and sizes for various applications. Our lift tables deliver work items to the appropriate height every time. Combine our lift table with our PartsCaddy mobile platform truck and workers can easily move fully-loaded lift tables from one station to the next without physical strain. With 16 hours of battery life, DJ Products’ electric movers can stay in continuous operation through two shifts with ease.�
