The Challenge - High Injury Rates, Limited Bandwidth

Before implementing TuMeke, ergonomic assessments at this global Fortune 500 Snack & Food Manufacturer were time-consuming, inconsistent, and difficult to scale. HSE teams were spread thin, and ergonomics often took a backseat in the broader safety audit process.

• High rates of musculoskeletal injuries, especially lower back and shoulder strains
• Workers' compensation claims, 80% tied to scalpel use
• Lost time and restricted duty cases, increasing overtime and fatigue-related risks
• Challenges with new hire onboarding due to physical job requirements

Leadership recognized the need for a faster, more data-driven approach to manage ergonomic risk and reduce costs.

"TuMeke gave us speed, accuracy, and the ability to calculate ROI in a way we've never had before. Even with limited resources, we've already surpassed our savings targets. The data speaks for itself."
– Senior Health Manager NA-HSE

The global leader in snack foods discovered TuMeke through LinkedIn and was immediate drawn to our video-to-date assessment capabilities. The platform allowed their team to:

• Conduct ergonomic assessments quickly and accurately
• Quantify injury risk and potential ROI for operational changes
• Build a business case for ergonomics investment across multiple sites

Transforming Logistics with TuMeke

A standout example came from the snack & foods manufacturer distribution center logistics project, where a shift from pallets to carts was being considered.

• TuMeke assessments identified clear reductions in ergonomic risk
• The ROI calculator demonstrated significant potential cost savings from fewer injuries
• Findings were presented to the CSNL director's team, validating the operational change and accelerating adoption
