Tesla zero gravity chair
Elon Musk and other Co-founders took the factory automation to a new level and new state of art quality manufacturing facility in many ways. The ultimate objective was to build the world's best electric cars and making a leap in the automobile industry. Everybody knows that tesla bought a factory that NUMMI has dumped, With the team Elon they have innovated the premises to a whole new level by taking in natural sunlight and painting the floors even with white color. Tesla even provided the staff's bikes to paddle one place to another because it's a big factor.
Tesla claims that they are the world's safest car manufacturing factory And they have really good points to prove their point. Tesla's newly appointed Vice President for Environmental, Health, and Safety (EHS). Laurie Shelby has been worked in workplace safety for the last 25 years. She states that there are good safety measures happening in the organization when she joins Tesla. And she is having more plans to implement with the team. The newly focusing points will be as below.
- Learning and being proactive
- Measuring Safety
- Helping Workforce when injuries do occur
- The Safest Cars for Customers and Employees
Tesla states that they are implementing the above-mentioned points with the factory. That's really good news but should also note this will be a win-win situation for the company next 365 days to achieve targets.
Learning and being proactive with safety means a lot of value to the company because of safety. Tesla has introduced a zero-gravity ergonomic chair to install parts Model 3. So almost nobody will be get injured by walk behind it. Also to note that Tesla will not only have Cars and SUVs but the newly introduces trucks and container carries. This means a lot of product pipeline, as an example when the production lines are getting busy and when a hazard got occurred it's impacting the entire production life cycle of the company.
Just like other manufacturing plants, Tesla also uses traditional workplace safety metrics which is Total Recordable Incident Rate also known as TRIR to benchmark the factory standards. Tesla disclosed that according to their records in 2017, Fremont Factory has improved by 25% compared with 2016 figures.
At the same time, Tesla shared a graph which showcases Total Recordable Incident Rate (TRIR) by then when NUMMI owns the factory and by no when Tesla Owns the factory. The below graph should be obvious on the point because Tesla gave a visionary concept to the world if they can't maintain the safety standards for their employees it will be a disaster and a failure.

At the end of the press publication that Tesla published, they have mentioned that they are on the move of implementing model 3 production, newly hired medical staff to attend 24/7 in house consulting and athletic trainers who will be ready to address team member's aches and pains when they are working.
This should be appreciated as a company that takes these initiates for the teams which eventually make a positive impact on the organization as well.
