Pengaruh Tingkat Ergonomi Stasiun Kerja Operator Untuk Meningkatkan Produktifitas

Abstract

Ergonomics aspects in the process of designing work facilities in an industry are important factors. Likewise, several other aspects that are closely related to ergonomics. Like anatomy and physiology, it is also necessary to know the causes of work discomfort, both from a human perspective as well as energy expenditure due to the workload it receives. The work station is an important part of an industry. With an ergonomic work station, employees can work safely, comfortably and productively. Conversely, if the work station is not ergonomic, incorrect postures will arise, so that the person's work performance will decrease, ineffective and efficient. This is because these postures can cause fatigue faster than ergonomic conditions. Workstations that cause work postures that are not ergonomic are found at the weaving operation station at PT “XX. The posture will be analyzed using biomechanics. And heart rate analysis is also performed to determine energy costs. Ergonomic workstations are also closely related to the match between the dimensions of the operator's body segments with the dimensions of the facilities used. If there is a mismatch, it will reduce the effectiveness of the operator's work. For this reason, work facilities that do not conform to the dimensions of the relevant operator body segment need to be redesigned. This redesign uses the operator population anthropometric data in the weaving operation.
