Abstract

PT. X is a company engaged in the textile industry in Bandung. In one of the departments it owns, namely the weaving department, there are a number of machines to roll the yarn into sheets of cloth. Among these machines, there are 2 engines, namely Pirn Winder (PW) and Two For One (TFO) machines, which have almost the same function, which is rolling thread. In both machines, problems were found, namely operators working with a high workload, especially from repetition factors and poor work postures, so operators often complained of pain in their body parts. This is evident from the results of the preliminary research using the QEC method that the operator on the machine has an exposure level of more than 60% so that changes in the existing working conditions are needed. Using the method of Assessment Repetitive Task (ART) and REBA (Rapid Entire Body Assessment carried out measurement of repetitive working conditions that occur and also carried out measurements of the actual work posture. Then, the design of a tool in the form of a machine to reduce repetitions that occur must be done by the operator and improve operator work posture while working.The results were simulated using software and found out that the risk of repetition, posture has been reduced and there is a time savings of 67%.

Summary

Metode Penelitian

Penelitian ini dilakukan dengan melakukan pengamatan dan wawancara langsung pada operator yang bekerja pada mesin PW dan TFO. Penelitian ini menggunakan beberapa metode yaitu QEC untuk penelitian pendahuluan, sehingga dapat diketahui apakah pekerjaan tersebut memiliki risiko sehingga harus diteliti dan dilakukan perubahan lebih lanjut, kemudian dilanjutkan dengan menggunakan metode ART karena pekerjaan yang diamati memiliki frekuensi repetisi yang cukup tinggi serta ditbantu dengan REBA untuk melihat postur kerja operator yang sudutsudutnya diperoleh dengan menggunakan bantuan foto dan software Ergofellow. Pada penelitian ini juga diukur waktu dilakukannya aktivitas dengan menggunakan pengamatan langsung dengan metode stopwatch dan secara tidak langsung untuk melihat hasil usulan. Berdasarkan penelitian pendahuluan diperoleh prosentase eksposure pada operatoroperator mesin seperti pada Tabel 1
