Use of Ergonomics and Analytical Hierarchy Process Model for Selection of Cities of Small Medium Enterprises

Abstract

Fish Smoking is a traditional method that has long been used in fisheries. The use of fish smoking devices can have a negative impact on human health which results in the entry of smoke into the eyes, lungs, and skin. In order not to be harmful to human health, ergonomic and healthy fish smoking devices are used. This study analyzes the prioritization of Small Medium Enterprises (SMEs) groups in the use of fish smoking devices to reduce the risk of health problems. The approach method used in this analysis uses the Ergonomics and Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP) method to determine the priorities of SMEs groups in the use of fish smoking devices. The criteria in this analysis are Ergonomics (Safe, Comfortable, Healthy), Health, Education Level, Community Participation, Motivation, Habits, and Resistance. The results of the analysis found that priority choices in percentage include E, A, B, D, and C regencies. It is hoped that with the holding of Diffusion Technology Results of Innovation Products (DTHPI), the use of modern fish smoking devices that are more ergonomic, healthy, and practical can help improve the welfare of SMEs.
