Abstract: A floor scale (10) intended for use in an environment requiring hygienic cleaning has a load platform (12) that is supported by a frame (18). A pair of foot assemblies 26, positioned along the sides of the frame, anchor the frame to the floor and provide a base from which the frame and load platform may be pivoted about an axis (A) between an operative position in which an upper surface (14) of the load platform is substantially parallel to the floor and a non-operative position in which the upper surface is angled obliquely relative to the floor. In the non-operative position, a footprint (F) of the floor scale is accessible for cleaning, Structural members of the frame and foot assemblies are substantially devoid of horizontal concave surfaces in which liquids could pool. Locking means is provided for the operative position and at least one non-operative position.

Abstract: A method and system are presented for creating promotion planning jobs that can be implemented in a workflow management system. Templates set forth specific tasks that will be implemented to perform the job. Tasks are assigned to a predefined role. Users of the system are assigned to roles, and then grouped together into teams. Each team is associated with a particular class. A team of users generally contains one user for each role needed to complete a job. A job is created from the template and assigned a class. A team is then selected based on this class. Users that make up that team are then assigned to the particular task based upon the users' role and the role assigned to the task by the template. If-a job is assigned to multiple classes, multiple teams will be assigned to the job. A master template allows multiple promotions to be coordinated. Jobs created from master templates have preliminary tasks that are generally performed before the tasks associated with jobs created from related sub-templates.
