Engineering Industrial Engineering Systems Science Occupational Safety Integration Six Sigma Lean Ergonomics Safety MOD VSSM Process Improvement Process improvement and safety are two important factors to any successful manufacturing company. Employees, however, often seem to view them as competing demands. The objective of this research is to understand how employees view safety, process improvement, and the integration of the two.After a short training on an integration tool aimed to view safety and process improvement simultaneously, the employees provided their perception on safety, process improvement, and the integration of the two. Analysis of the qualitative data showed that there are often conflicting responses and behaviors when it comes to prioritizing safety over production. The research also indicated a divide in the perception of the correlation between safety and process improvement.Although limited data was collected after the focus group, the MOD VSSM was successful in improving communication across employees and was viewed by participants to be an asset for the company. 2017-06-13 English text Ohio University / OhioLINK http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=ohiou1492515614965528 http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=ohiou1492515614965528 unrestricted This thesis or dissertation is protected by copyright: all rights reserved.
