A manufacturing plant evaluates an $80,000 robotic palletizing system. Currently three workers average two MSD injuries each per year at $55,000 total cost per injury including all direct and indirect costs. What does a basic cost-benefit analysis indicate?

Question

Answer

The annual injury cost of approximately $330,000 means the robotic system fully pays for itself in well under one year of operation.

Answer

Increased production automation speed always outweighs the total cost of any ergonomic investment decision made in the facility.

Answer

The robot is not financially justified because $80,000 exceeds the $55,000 cost of any single individual worker injury claim filed.

Answer

Robotic palletizing should not be purchased because Elimination is not always the most operationally practical control level solution.
