Abstract
Motivation/Background: Productivity improvement is one of the important goals that need to be done by a company, including fish canning industry. High productivity can be achieved with the appropriate working method. This study was conducted to find out whether ergonomic oriented working method in sardine cans wiping process increasing productivity and income of workers in PT. BMP Negara compared than ergonomic un-oriented working method.
 Method: This study was experimental study with design two periods cross over pre and posttest group. Number of sample was 18 workers. This study was done at PT. BMP Negara, Jembrana Regency, Bali Province in December 2016. There are two different working method applied in the process of wiping cans of sardines, called ergonomic un-oriented working method and ergonomic oriented working method. Data collected was productivity and workers income. Those datas were compared and tested statistically, using Wilcoxon signed rank test.
 Results: The result showed that the ergonomic oriented working method increased productivities about 34.43% (p<0.05) and increased the income of workers as much as 31.51% (p<0.05).
 Conclusions: It could be concluded that ergonomic oriented working method in the process of wiping cans of sardines increased productivity and income of workers in PT.BMP Negara.

The sardines cans wiped by workers are different for the upper sides and down sides, when workers using ergonomic un-oriented working method, the process of arranging would takes more time
Summary
Working method at wiping process is to wipe the sardine can as much as possible and pile up at random, put and arranged into the cardboard. This working method is called ergonomic un-oriented working method. The ergonomic oriented working method in process of wiping cans of sardines possibly save working time than the ergonomic un-oriented working method. The sardines cans wiped by workers are different for the upper sides and down sides, when workers using ergonomic un-oriented working method, the process of arranging would takes more time. Unlike the other working method, working using ergonomic un-oriented working method, worker need shorter time because workers directly arranges cans into a cardboard box after wiped the sardines cans.
