Office Chair Expansion

The office chair expansion plan can be carried out in layers around the upgrading and replenishment of core workstations, adaptation to non-fixed scenarios, and adaptation for special groups, combining repairs and purchases to solve existing problems.

I. Seat Replenishment and Adaptation Upgrades for Core Fixed Workstations
Among the existing 127 ergonomic chairs at fixed workstations, 32 have issues such as mesh sagging, armrest loosening, and lumbar support displacement due to high-frequency use, accounting for 25.2% of the total损耗 (loss). For these chairs, priority should be given to contacting suppliers for repairs of detachable components: replacing high-elasticity mesh to restore lumbar support, reinforcing armrest screws to prevent wobbling, replacing silent casters to improve mobility smoothness, and adjusting lumbar support elasticity to suit different body types. The repaired chairs should be uniformly transferred to a public reserve area for temporary scheduling or emergency use, avoiding resource waste. At the same time, purchase 32 new chairs as needed to supplement the core workstations, ensuring employees' lumbar and neck support needs during long periods of sitting.

II. Seat Adaptation for Non-Fixed Scenarios
There are issues of insufficient quantity and mismatched functionality with seats in existing non-fixed scenarios. The front desk negotiation area has only 11 hard fixed chairs, the open discussion area has no dedicated mobile collaborative chairs, the conference room has only 8 spare chairs, and the field temporary workstations have no dedicated seating. It is necessary to purchase seats adapted to the scenario requirements: equip the front desk negotiation area with swivel chairs with soft-padded armrests to enhance the customer experience; select lightweight mobile collaborative chairs for the open discussion area to support flexible position adjustments; increase the number of spare folding chairs in the conference room according to its size to meet the needs of hundred-person meetings; and equip field temporary workstations with foldable portable chairs to avoid occupying fixed workstation resources. Through scenario-based adaptation, the frequency of employees moving chairs is reduced, and noise interference is lowered.

III. Seat Adaptation for Special Groups
A survey found that 19 employees over 185cm in height reported insufficient headrest height, 7 pregnant employees reported that the lumbar support was too hard and lacked leg support, and 12 employees with old waist injuries or cervical spine problems reported insufficient recline gears. Precise procurement is required to meet these special needs: select seats with adjustable headrests up and down and a larger support range for tall employees; configure pregnant employee chairs with adjustable lumbar support hardness and front leg support for pregnant employees; and purchase seats with multiple recline adjustments and support for午休 (noon break) mode for employees with old injuries. Through personalized adaptation, the health pain points of special groups are addressed.

IV. Procurement References
For example, the Deli 4900M business office computer chair features a three-segment backrest design that fits the spine's contour, with soft-padded armrests that support 90°-180° rotation. It is available at a JD.com self-operated promotional price of 218.82 yuan per unit and can be considered as a basic procurement option. When purchasing, priority should be given to products that meet ergonomic standards and support component repair and replacement, balancing cost-effectiveness with long-term use value.
