SPACE Inc Installers

Tuesday Feb 23, 2010

The Installation group here at SPACE inc continues to grow within themselves. Each member is now willing and able to handle daily deliveries as well as lead large installs. They all now have the ability to manage a large crew that can consist of our own crew as well as 2 other preferred crews. Managing 1 crew is a job in it self, but the ability to manage a crew consisting of 3 separate crews, brings on a larger challenge. I am glad to say our Installation team has stepped up to that challenge. We now have a greater ability to handle all of our clients needs and the ability to handle multiple clients simultaneously.


Zody Chair With Headrest

Tuesday Feb 23, 2010

Right from the start the “Zody” chair from Haworth has been a winner.  It has won several awards since it’s introduction a couple of years ago.  Although the Zody fits 95% of the population there were several requests for the addition of a headrest to the chair.  Haworth, with it’s forward thinking and attention to customer’s requests, has developed a new headrest for the Zody.  This chair is so comfortable, from what clients say, all it needed was a pillow and they would fall asleep.  Obviously we don’t want workers falling asleep in our chairs, but that is a testament to how comfortable the Zody really is to people who own the chair now. 

As I write this blog, I too, am sitting in a Zody chair.  I must say it is a very comfortable chair and I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a new ergonomic chair.  If someone is going to be sitting at their desk for the majority of their work day, they owe it to theirselves to give the Zody a try.  As a taller person, I appreciate the option of the headrest.  SPACE Inc has the Zody chair with a headrest in stock if you would like to try one out for yourself.

Masters Series

Friday Feb 19, 2010

 The great thing about people is that, even though we all occupy the same space, each one of us has a different take on what that space should be. We each have a different perception of what feels “comfortable” or “right”. And, while some might find those differences challenging, we see an individualism that’s really worth celebrating. That’s why Masters Series is designed to let every single one of us define what makes our own great space.

 

Masters Series is designed to integrate with all levels of your organization. Price and aesthetic scalability, through a variety of finishes, glass door overheads, storage, drawer construction and edge design, give Masters Series the ability to be configured in a variety of ways, from entry level to executive, which means everyone will feel appreciated (and appreciative).

Warehouse Safety

Tuesday Feb 16, 2010

Here are a few ideas to keep your warehouse operating safely

 

Warehouse safety should be discussed with all warehouse employees. All new employees should be required to take warehouse safety training classes. This is to make sure all new workers are aware of the rules and safety regulations to follow while they are working. Horseplay and fooling around should not be tolerated. When you are doing any manual lifting it is important to follow basic lifting techniques. Train employees in how to lift is one of the most important warehouse safety training topics. Back injuries count for more than 50 percent of lost time and sick days in a warehouse. The docking area in a warehouse is probably the busiest area in the warehouse. It is where all products are delivered to, or sent from. It is necessary to make sure the docking area floors are clean at all times. One of the most important warehouse safety procedures is forklift safety. Forklifts are used everyday in warehouses all over. It is important that only forklift trained and certified employees operate them. They can be deadly if used incorrectly. All employees must be at least 18 years old in order to become forklift certified. Only employees certified to use a forklift should operate them. All warehouse workers should know where the first aid kits are located and have a basic knowledge of how to use them. They should also know where all fire extinguishers are and must be trained in fire safety. You should also have an evacuation plan in place.

How to Design Technical Workstations

Designing a Technical Office Requires Technical Furniture

Designing a Technical Office Requires Technical Furniture

Most of the time when the designers at SPACE, Inc. think about workstations they are talking about office cubicles.  In this case I’m talking about creating a working environment for lab areas, healthcare stations or LAN stations.  That is an area that sometimes gets overlooked when designing an interior space.  Technical workstations need to have visual and physical accessibility to equipment and cabling.  They usually consist of a frame, shelving units, multiple worksurfaces, and storage.  Some require plumbing to accommodate wet lab environments.  When we specify these types of stations we usually use products from  Symbiote.  They are a leader in this type of office and lab furniture.


The New Legacy Reclining Chair

I found this chair from Legacy furniture which is offered thru SPACE Inc which works great for medical facilities.  This recliner works great for several applications.  It can be used for a bariatric chair as well as a regular recliner with their patent pending design.  Here is a video showing the product and it’s many capabilities.

Favorite motivational Quotes

Monday Jan 25, 2010

In today’s times of selling office furniture, in a tough economy, it is sometimes hard to get yourself motivated.  SPACE Inc has always believed in making the client’s needs come first.  Having a core value like this has made weathering a tough economy a little easier especially when so many companies have closed their doors.  We are fortunate to be a preferred dealer for Haworth and have a GSA contract and a Blanket Purchase agreements with the Department of Health and Human Services and Department of NAVY in these tough economic times.   Even though SPACE Inc has been taking care of customer’s needs as if they were their own, several of our clients too, have gone out of business.  How does a sales force stay motivated when they see several of their clients are no  longer in business, even when things are looking better for the coming year? 

I was looking for motivational literature for my sales meetings when I came across several great quotes on the internet.  I am going to share a couple of the one’s I thought were great.  If anyone has others they would like to add, I would like to hear them, so please respond back to this blog.

“People often ask me if I know the secrets of success and if I could tell others how to make their dreams come true.  My answer is, you do it by working!” - Walt Disney

“The way to get started is quit talking and begin doing!” - Walt Disney

“Every morning in Africa a gazelle wakes up.  It knows it must run faster than the fastest lion or it will be killed.  Every morning a lion wakes up.  I knows it must outrun the slowest gazelle or it will starve to death.  It doesn’t matter if you are a lion or a gazelle- when the sun comes up, you’d better be running” - Unknown

“What the caterpillar calls the end of the world is just the beginning for the butterfly” - Richard Bach

“Tough times don’t last tough people do!”  Dr. Norman Vincent Peale
