Leir Research Institute (LRI) Weekly Seminar Series — Martin Tuchman School of Management

From 1–2 p.m. on Wednesday, Feb. 24, the LRI hosts a discussion of “A Real Options Approach to Evaluating Ergonomics Projects to Reduce MSDs in the Workplace.” Co-authored by Cheickna Sylla of NJIT and Bay Arinze of Drexel University, this research proposes a superior model for valuing ergonomics projects that address musculoskeletal disorders (MSD). MSD workplace problems can cost companies millions annually, and proper cost/benefit justifications can help address these issues. To join, go to https://njit.webex.com/meet/rroy. Upcoming seminars can be found at https://centers.njit.edu/leir/spring21-seminars/.
