Kagan Logistics Pty Ltd
Kagan Logistics provides specialist third party logistics, warehousing, distribution and supply chain services.
One of Kagan’s contracts involved receiving large container loads of 50 kg bags of soybean meal. These loads presented a manual task risk to workers - if pallets were not adequately wrapped, bags could fall off the pallet, requiring staff to manually lift and carry them.
To eliminate the manual task risk, Kagan requested the product be supplied in 850 kg bulk bags allowing workers to use a forklift and jib to remove and transport loads from the container.
This solution ensures:
- improved product quality as a result of decreased damage
- a reduction in costs and an increase in productivity as it takes less time to unpack the product
- manual task risks are eliminated not only to Kagan workers but also to the rest of the supply chain including the importer, manufacturer, transporters, logistics companies and end users.
By reviewing a daily business task and eliminating the manual task risk, Kagan has increased safety standards and provided a safer workplace for its staff.
