New manufacturing technology should do more than just increase output, efficiency and quality. It should also improve the working conditions and health of the employees. This is why more and more manufacturers are investing resources to improve ergonomics on the assembly line.
Among those companies is IVECO S.p.A., a manufacturer of industrial vehicles based in Turin, Italy. A subsidiary of CNH Industrial Group, IVECO designs and builds light-, medium- and heavy-duty commercial vehicles; quarry and construction site vehicles; city and intercity buses; and specialty vehicles for firefighters and the military. With factories in 11 countries throughout Europe, Asia, Africa, Oceania and Latin America, IVECO produces some 150,000 commercial vehicles annually. All of the company’s plants have obtained ISO 9001 quality management certification and ISO 14000 environmental management certification.
