It would have to be load trucks while expending the least energy...
And with that previous post, I intended to say that I don't have the time to extract data to anaylze while on the job... Was that how it was understood?
So, no experimental numbers to work with. You want a mathematical model of how to load trucks while expending the least energy.
Good ergonomics? I'm sure they've calculated forces on various joints bla bla bla somewhere...
Originally posted by coquetteI just saw a documentary on that and at the central office level, there are huge machines that sort things out, do most of the heavy lifting and such, it's all automated like a manufacturing line of stuff so a lot of efficiency studies have already gone into it. On the other hand, it IS the US government🙂
Proper lifting techniques comes first (ergonomics); then, you might find some efficiencies in how you place the packages for loading and unloading; i'll be your attitude plays a huge part in this. Thus, just the desire to increase efficiency and to begin thinking about how to make improvements is the first step toward making that happen. I'm betting that yo ...[text shortened]... able progress and will ultimately find huge efficiencies that you can implement. Best of luck.
