RMG evidence & impact
Measure what matters.
Learn from what happens.
Good case studies do more than celebrate a win. They show the starting point, the intervention, the results, the limitations and what others can learn.
Documented practice history
30+ years of Kaizen improvement experience
Across more than three decades of professional work, RMG's founder has led or supported 400+ improvement events. A tracked subset of 290 ergonomic Kaizen events provides the following historical results.
46
Average improvements per event
$63
Average cost per improvement
4.3 mo
Average payback period
17%
Ergonomic risk reduction versus baseline
These results describe the founder's professional work across organizations and career roles. They are not represented as Zurich Resilience Solutions results or as outcomes delivered exclusively under the RMG corporate name. The source presentation reports 290 tracked events and 400+ events led or supported; those are not interchangeable denominators. Figures are historical averages, not guarantees of future performance.
How we tell the story
Evidence first.
Lessons always.
RMG case studies will lead with measurable operational and workforce outcomes. Before-and-after photography may help explain an improvement, but it will not be the proof by itself.

What we learned
Work looks different across every operation
Same improvement mindset. Different environments.
From production and distribution to healthcare and field operations, the details of the work change. The discipline of observing, solving and sustaining improvement remains consistent.
People & risk
Exposure and risk measures
Ergonomic risk scores, force, reach, lift frequency, awkward postures, fatigue indicators, employee feedback and relevant injury or claim trends.
Operations
Productivity and process
Cycle time, throughput, travel distance, steps, labor content, changeover, work-in-process and time spent on non-value-added activity.
Business performance
Quality and economics
Defects, rework, scrap, service consistency, cost avoidance, investment, savings assumptions and payback – with calculation methods stated.
Consistent case study format
Situation → Challenge → Approach → Results → Lessons
Situation
Industry, operation, task and baseline context.
Challenge
The risk, performance gap or problem to solve.
Approach
What RMG and the organization did, and who participated.
Results
Before/after measures, time window, sample and caveats.
Lessons
What worked, what did not, and what should happen next.
Not every story needs to be a success story.
Some of the most useful case studies explain why an intervention did not produce the expected result, why an improvement was not sustained, or why the data were inconclusive. We will publish those lessons when the organization and information can be shared appropriately.
We will distinguish measured results from estimates, association from causation, and RMG project data from external industry benchmarks. No client identity, confidential information or third-party material will be published without clearance.
Evidence and external context
Put project results in context.
External research and government data can help readers understand why a measure matters. They should provide context – not be presented as proof that a particular RMG intervention caused a result.
External sources are independent references. RMG is not affiliated with or endorsed by OSHA or NIOSH.
Have a result worth examining?
We can help define the measures, understand the work and tell the story with integrity.
