Abstract
Lockheed Martin Tactical Aircraft Systems (LMTAS) has launched a Workforce Vitality program with the objective to spawn an environment where people believe they not only are empowered, but also have an obligation to speak up whenever they see something that needs to be changed or improved. Banners or slogans are not part of this program. It is a commitment to see a new way of doing business. Soon after the program was introduced, the highest percentage of suggestions was to have the work areas improved to meet ergonomic criteria. Once the employees and management saw the potential for ergonomics improvement to their work area, this requirement became equal with quality and productivity as an objective. This paper will review the LMTAS Workforce Vitality Program and draw parallels with ergonomic improvements. Such a comparison will show that the objectives of the Workforce Vitality program are complemented with ergonomics.
