Abstract:
PT. Eksonindo MPI is a company that manufactures various kinds of bags that are
marketed with Export, Eiger and Bodypack trademarks. At present, operators who
carry out their work often complain that certain parts of their body hurt. This pain is
caused by the presence of a poor working system. Improving the work system can be
accomplished by analyzing the body posture of nine specific work activities. Analysis
of the worker’s posture employs the REBA method. The results of the REBA analysis
indicate that all nine activities carry moderate and high risks. Proposed improvements
have been made by designing table and chair sizes using the anthropometric data of
the Indonesian workers involved. The proposed improvements made at a later stage
were simulated and recalculated using the REBA score. The simulation results of
proposed improvements show a significant improvement so that it will be convenient as
a safety fund or investment for workers.
