WHAT PROBLEM P RESENT?

• Uncomfortable workplace conditions that cause workers to quickly feel tired at one point in the human body

Background of research : WHY ARE JOURNALS WRITTEN ?

Because an increasingly high level of demand companies must issue innovative ideas in order to increase the utilization of available resources optimally to maximize product levels in terms of both quantity and quality.

RESEARCH FINDING 1. To optimize the workforce to be considered is the human aspect so an alternative is needed that includes the layout design of work equipment and work tools that support workers, so they do their work regularly without causing significant fatigue.

RESEARCH FINDING 2. Ergonomics is an interdisciplinary scientific approach of applying the principles of human behavior to the design of human-machine systems directed at adjusting to machines and auxiliary equipment, to improve performance in safe, comfortable, efficient, healthy and safe working conditions.

The usefulness of applying ergonomics 1. Work performance (increase work speed, accuracy, work safety and reduce excessive work energy and reduce fatigue. 2. Reduce wasted time and minimize equipment damage caused by “human error”.

3. Improving human comfort in work

Symptoms of fatigue are tiredness, decreased alertness, slow and weak perceptions in addition to the decline in physical and mental work. Classification of fatigue : 1. Muscle fatigue 2. General fatigue.

Fatigue usually occurs at the end of working hours caused by various factors 1. Monotony 2. static muscle work 3. tools and work facilities that are inconsistent with the anthropometry of the wearer 4. ergonomic work stations 5. forced attitudes and timing work-an improper rest

Work Equipment Used The work carried out by the packer is the packing of the product, so the main working equipment that is associated is

1. The work chair 2. Conveyor 3. Place for dos incorporate the product (jig).

Seating (Working Chair) The seats (seats) that workers use today have the following sizes: 1. High chair from floor = 500 mm 2. Seat depth = 370 mm 3. Width of seat = 360 mm

4. High backrest = 180 mm 5. The height of the footrest from the floor = 100 mm 6. Hand coverage range = 850 mm

OPINION In designing work systems where interactions occur between humans and machines, the dimensions of the work facility should be made in accordance with the dimensions of the human body that use them.
