Abstract
Manufacturing Industry is one of the industrial activities in Indonesia, manufacturing industry is an industry with main activities is to change raw materials, components, or other parts into goods which is according to company specifications standards. In the production floor, activity in the manufacturing industry, the workers have different job specifications with each other. Some works consist of human-machine interaction is found by the activity between workers and lathe machine, welding maching, milling machine, frais machine, and others. The manufacturing industry will increase its ability to serve a variety of better quality products caused by the desire or encouragement of the customers. In general, according to the increase of corporate targets, its also need improvement from the aspect of work performance. To obtain a description of the proposed improvement based on human performance, it is necessary to identify the eight aspects of ergonomics include the consumption of nutritionalfor workers (energy), muscle power, body posture, environment, time conditions, social conditions, information conditions, and human machine interaction. This research use cross sectional method approach that is research done at one time, no follw up, to find the correlation between independent variable (risk factor) with dependent variable (effect). The conclusion of this research is needed nutrition intake or nutrition to recover the workers, it is necessary to design facilities such as manufacturing aids to reduce the use of excess muscle or appropriate technology (TTG). After the application of TTG (Appropriate Technology) to reduce the excessive use of muscle to the workers, the company should provide the nutritional intake accordance with workload of employees in the manufacturing industry
Highlights
Based on the results of preliminary study and observations that have been done on the manufacturing industry on the identification of 8 aspects of ergonomics is known as follows
3.1 Nutrition On the production floor of manufacturing industry has a hot environment so the consumption of carbohydrates and minerals is dominant [3]
The amount of additional nutrition work is calculated according to the needs of calories by the workers as known as follows: a) the average worker;s wight, b) the value of the Basal Metabolism Rate (BMR), c) the energy adequacy rate based on the level of physical activity, d) Specific Dynamic Action or 10% intake
Summary
All activities that use man in it will always be related to ergonomics because of its relation to the correct working procedure. The main problem in activity on the production floor of manufacturing industry, is still very complex. The need for applying the ideal conditions of healthy manufacturing industry still needs to be supported by several factors that need to be improved. As example in production floor activities to produce goods, until nowadays required evaluation on worker’s activities start from applying of good working methods, work nutrition, and the use of work tools. Other condition of concern are musculoskeletal complaints by workers during work on this production plant, because workers bend their body during work, and hot on production plant can make workers do not feel comfortable while working
