“…Due to such internal and external conditions, companies must be able to change their organization, operations, product portfolio, customer segmentation, and quickly, efficiently, and on a consistent basis. This requires a new approach to the strategic planning process and sometimes the need to outsource to small businesses (Kanniappan & Selvakumar, 2020;Mukucha et al, 2020).…”

Nowadays using outsourcing and models of sourcing’s maneuver, becomes as one of the most leading tools for optimizing domestic engineering production. Many entrepreneurs reject outsourcing because they think that outsourcing will incur additional costs. However, they make mistakes in calculating the value of missed opportunities because they spend so much time on hard, energy-intensive work that it would be better to leave that to others. Therefore, outsourcing may be toxic to some businesses, and the same activity can be very successful if done within the organization. Outsourcing simplifies many tasks and is profitable for organizations and companies, but only if the conditions are carefully considered, and security points are observed. Every business, large or small, needs to outsource some of its activities, whether it hires an individual or a team to do their work at the company or do it elsewhere.In this paper, the authors consider the optimization of domestic machine-building enterprises through the use of restructuring production outsourcing. An approach to the economic evaluation of the machine-building production optimization based on the restructuring outsourcing, taking into account the cyclical nature of economic development, is developed.

Background. Work-associated upper limb and neck disorders are common occupational disorders throughout the world. These disorders are usually observed more in workers who spend a long time sitting, referred to as sedentary activity (SA). The immediate and distorted risk of sedentary-related problems was considered high in Europe, Australia, and the United States. Even though mediation is convenient, it is likely to reduce office workers’ risks of developing cervical and upper body pain due to sedentary work. This systematic review addresses risk factors and evaluates the relationship between SA and upper body disorders in office workers (i.e., shoulder and neck/head). Methods. PubMed, Scopus, and Web of Science were searched for articles published between January 2010 and August 2021 in the English language. The three keywords “sedentary,” “upper body elements,” and “work” (and their derivatives) were searched to identify studies and carry out this systematic review. The articles were searched so that all three keywords or at least a derivation of each keyword should appear. Findings. Of the 40 articles that met the enclosure criteria, 32 studies examined the association of SA and upper body elements during both office and computer work. However, three articles were evaluated in the sit-stand work environment, and in the remaining five studies, one was evaluated during teaching, two during hospital work, and two during mixed working conditions. Conclusions. Research related to SA focuses mainly on extended risk factors, but there was no focus on other aspects, such as muscle and tendon contractions. As there is a convincing connection between SA and the upper body, our close examination identifies the need to institutionalize a system for collecting, analyzing, and describing the impact and short-term effects of SA on the upper body. Additionally, some suggestions were made to minimize the risk in a sedentary working environment.

BACKGROUND: Although many studies have investigated the prevalence of low back pain (LBP) among Indian subjects, no meta-analysis has been conducted to determine the comprehensive epidemiological point, annual, lifetime prevalence of LBP among Indian subjects. OBJECTIVE: The purpose of this systematic review and meta-analysis was to investigate the point, annual, and lifetime prevalence of LBP in the Indian population. METHODS: We searched PubMed, Embase, Science Direct, and Cochrane Library databases for relevant studies that reported point, annual, or lifetime prevalence of LBP among Indian subjects,. Pooled point, annual and lifetime prevalence rates were calculated. Meta-analysis, subgroup analysis, sensitivity analysis and publication bias assessment were performed. RESULTS: Ninety-seven studies were included in this review. Fifty-four studies included in the review (55.5%) were found to be of higher methodological quality. The pooled point, annual, and lifetime prevalence of LBP in India was 48% (95% CI 40–56%); 51% (95% CI 45–58%), and 66% (95% CI 56–75%), respectively. The pooled prevalence rates were highest among females, the rural population, and among elementary workers. CONCLUSION: The point, annual, and lifetime prevalence rates of LBP in the Indian population is higher compared to global and other ethnic populations affecting a large proportion of the population, especially among women, rural population and in elementary workers. The findings of this study can be the basis for formulating policy regarding the prevention and treatment of LBP in a large part of the global population.
