Abstract: PT. XYZ is a company engaged in the manufacturing of doors. PT. XYZ process consists of 7 work stations,
namely sorting of raw material, the unification of the core material, reaping, laminating, manufacture of
components, finishing, and packing. Among 7 work stations, only 1 work station to work while standing still
during work (8 hours) and do not have any work that supports the work station finishing work station. The
purpose of this study is to make improvements to the facilities at the finishing work desk. Facility design
work is done by using quality methods to obtain technical characteristics in accordance with the desire of
works. Furthermore, the results of the design tools socialized to all component companies use macro
ergonomic analysis and design (MEAD). From the result of the design, the material frame of iron, the base
material of foam, the base material of leather, the colour frame brown, the place mats of blue, the durability
of the table at least 3 years, and additional function where the laying equipment. Result are discussed with
the company designing and disseminated to the component companies.
1 INTRODUCTION
Work process is one of the most important factors in
the company's progress, and is the key to success in
order to improve the efficiency of the company, and
can reduce the risk of injury (Mercado, 2018).The
work frequency and the discomfort level of workers
causes damage and abnormalities activities in some
parts of the body. The application of a work
combination and dynamic systems, different foot
functions when standing position, can reduce
inconvenience of work (Taha, 2008). Many studies
also find that the poor work postures are causes
sickness, stress, and stress at workplace. Losses such
as lost time, deteriorating health of employees and
decreasing a morality, eventually can decreases the
work productivity. Finally the company productivity
also decreases. The application of ergonomic
principles will help improve quality and
productivity, help better, help work and help while
doing work. Ergonomics applications related to
design and processes can reduce related work
(Maldonado and Macias, 2009), (Javier, 2008),
(Asim, 2012).
Standard nordic questionnaire can know the parts
of the muscles that have complaints with the level of
complaints ranging from discomfort (a little pain) to
very sick. By looking at and analyzing the snq body
map, it can be estimated the type and degree of
skeletal muscle complaints felt by workers (Lopez,
2018).
PT. XYZ is a company engaged in the
manufacturing of door leaf industry. The production
process of PT. Xyz consists of 7 workstations which
are sorting of raw materials, unification of core
materials, reinforcement, laminating, component
making, finishing and packing. Among 7
workstations, only 1 work station that works with
fixed standing position during work (8 hours) and
does not have other working facilities that support
the working position of the work station finishing.
The work load emphasizes the operator to the
maximum with a standing position against the desk.
Working in a standing position for a long time and
repeatedly pain against the body part.
