Abstract

Manual wheelchairs remain widely used in Indonesian health-care facilities, yet their design often does not fully accommodate local anthropometric characteristics and work patterns. The SM-8018 patient wheelchair used at PT SPU is operated by caregivers, exposing both patients and caregivers to potential ergonomic risks. This study aims to evaluate and redesign the SM-8018 wheelchair using an integrated Ergo-Total Function Deployment (ETFD) and House of Ergonomics (HoE) approach within a Total Ergonomics framework. A pre–post experimental design was applied involving 32 adult users and caregivers with at least six months of experience using or pushing the SM-8018. Data collection included anthropometric measurements, musculoskeletal complaints using the Nordic Body Map (NBM), subjective fatigue using the Japan Association of Industrial Health (JAIH) questionnaire, boredom scores, satisfaction using the Minnesota Satisfaction Questionnaire (MSQ) and voice of customers (VoC). VoC and ergonomic findings were mapped into a HoE matrix to derive priority design specifications through ETFD. Results showed notable mismatches between user anthropometry and key wheelchair dimensions, particularly seat depth and width, backrest and headrest height and angle, and push-handle height, which were associated with high levels of discomfort in the lower back, buttocks, shoulders and upper arms and with considerable fatigue. The ETFD–HoE analysis identified four primary redesign priorities: adjustment of push-handle height, optimisation of backrest and headrest geometry, refinement of seat dimensions and improvement of front-wheel stability. Pre–post comparisons indicated that musculoskeletal complaints and fatigue remained relatively high and in some cases increased, whereas boredom and satisfaction tended to change in a more favourable direction. These findings suggest that the first iteration of the SM-8018 redesign, although guided by Total Ergonomics principles, requires further refinement and system-level support. Nonetheless, the study demonstrates the feasibility of integrating ETFD, HoE and Total Ergonomics to systematically guide the improvement of low-cost hospital wheelchairs in the Indonesian context.

Abstract

Background. PT SMS produces bottled drinking water (amdk) in gallons and cups with Vit and Forme brands for gallon packaging and Airnes, Forma, and OK Oce brands in cup packaging. In identifying the problem at PT SMS, it was found that the work system is not well-designed and lacks ergonomics at several workstations, which has an impact on achieving less than optimal daily productivity. The output per work shift set by the company is 2,100 gallons and 3,150 boxes for cup packaging, but in fact, it can only produce approximately 2,050 gallons and 3,000 boxes. Aim. Analyze the factors that cause the work system to be less effective and less ergonomic. The formulation of work system factors encompasses physical work environment factors, equipment, infrastructure, machinery, workload factors, and organisational factors. Methods. The Macro Ergonomic Analysis and Design (MEAD) method is used to identify factors that affect the work system and then implement improvements and design changes based on the identified factors. Results. Physical work environment factors and organisational factors are problems within the work system at PT SMS, as the workspace designated for the production workflow lacks ergonomic support for employees' postures while working, and task management is inadequate. The machinery has not been crafted based on the anthropometric measurements of the workers. Oversight is absent for the work being done, and the standard time required for the production process has yet to be established. So that it increases productivity per work shift at PT. SMS is not optimal and experiences over time. Conclusions. Redesign of physical work environment facilities, scheduling of rest periods, and organisational factors through supervision from PT SMS resulted in output per shift meeting the standards set by the company.. Implication. The application of MEAD can identify factors that cause suboptimal productivity. Redesigning ergonomic physical work environment facilities, scheduling rest periods, and supervisory organisational factors within the company have an impact on optimising productivity, as measured by the output per shift set by the company

Abstract

Background, Palembang City South Sumatera of Indonesia faces serious waste challenges, generating about 983-1,200 tons daily, 35% plastic and under 10% recycled. Improper disposal drives methane emissions and climate impacts. This study explores low-cost waste-to-energy (WtE) strategies to cut emissions, support a circular economy, and empower communities through sustainable, participatory waste management. Aim, This study analyzes Palembang’s waste generation and GHG emissions to support sustainable and efficient waste management strategies. Methods, This study used mixed methods to assess Palembang’s waste management and emissions, conducted from July-October 2025, data from key stakeholders were analyzed using IPCC Tier 1 Guidelines to compare baseline and intervention scenarios for sustainable community solutions. Results, The analysis revealed that Palembang City South Sumatera of Indonesia generates approximately 1,000 tons of municipal solid waste per day, with organic waste (56%) and plastic waste (24%) as the dominant fractions. Current waste treatment processes, mainly open dumping and limited composting, result in an estimated carbon emission of 420-460 tons CO₂-eq per day. Scenario modeling indicated that implementing a low-cost waste-to-energy (WtE) system and community-based segregation programs could reduce emissions by up to 55%, while generating additional energy potential of 7-9 MWh per day. These findings demonstrate the significant potential of an integrated waste management approach to simultaneously mitigate greenhouse gas emissions and enhance energy recovery in Palembang. Conclusions, Palembang generates 983-1,200 tons of waste daily, mostly food (40.8%) and plastic (20.4%), with 60% sent to Sukawinatan and 40% to Kramasan landfills. Management still relies on open dumping, causing methane emissions of 2,352.9 tons (65,888.2 tons CO₂-eq) valued at about IDR 1.97 trillion. These results underscore the need for integrated, sustainable waste-to-energy (WtE) solutions. Implication, The study guides policymakers in developing low-cost, sustainable waste management through community-based waste-to-energy (WtE) initiatives that reduce emissions and support a circular, resilient city.

Abstract

Background: Production scheduling plays a crucial role in improving manufacturing system efficiency, particularly in flow shop environments where jobs must follow the same processing sequence across multiple machines. At CV. Sinar Surya, the production scheduling for lathe machines is still conducted manually based on operator experience, resulting in high machine idle time, low machine utilization, and prolonged makespan. This condition causes inefficiencies in production processes and delays in order completion. Therefore, an effective scheduling method is required to optimize the production sequence and improve operational efficiency. Aim: This study aims to optimize production scheduling in a flow shop manufacturing system by applying the Campbell-Dudek-Smith (CDS) method to minimize makespan and reduce lathe machine idle time. Methods: The research was conducted at CV. Sinar Surya Palembang uses a quantitative approach. Data were collected through direct observation, interviews with production staff, and company documentation. The collected data include processing time for each job, production sequences, machine working hours, and existing production schedules. The CDS heuristic method was applied by transforming the multi-machine flow shop problem into several two-machine subproblems, which were then solved using Johnson’s rule to determine the optimal job sequence. Results: The existing production schedule yielded a makespan of 163 minutes and a total machine idle time of 140 minutes. After applying the CDS method, the optimal job sequence obtained was J4 - J5 - J3 - J1 - J2, which reduced the makespan to 147 minutes and decreased total idle time to 95 minutes. This represents a 16-minute reduction in makespan (approximately 9.8%), indicating improved production efficiency. Conclusion: The implementation of the CDS method improves production scheduling efficiency in a flow shop manufacturing system by generating a more optimal job sequence, reducing makespan, and machine idle time. Implication: The findings suggest that the CDS method can be an effective scheduling approach for manufacturing companies using flow shop systems, particularly for improving machine utilization, reducing production delays, and supporting better production planning and decision-making.

Abstract

Background: The construction materials distribution sector faces significant challenges in managing inventory due to fluctuating demand and the absence of systematic planning. Distributor Bintang Kerahiman, operating in Palembang and South Sumatra, currently relies on estimation-based inventory decisions, leading to frequent stockouts and overstocking. These inefficiencies lead to increased operational costs and lost sales opportunities, underscoring the need for a more structured, quantitative inventory control approach based on the Economic Order Quantity model. Aim: This study aims to design a cost-efficient inventory system by applying the Economic Order Quantity model and to compare its performance with the company's existing inventory method. Methods: A quantitative approach was employed using historical sales data from March to August 2025 across 30 selected products. Demand forecasting was conducted using the moving average method. Inventory parameters, including ordering cost, holding cost, safety stock, and reorder point (ROP), were calculated. The optimal order quantity was determined using the Economic Order Quantity formula, and total inventory costs were compared between the current method and the proposed model. Results: The implementation of the Economic Order Quantity model successfully reduces total inventory costs by optimizing order quantities and balancing ordering and holding costs. Across 30 products, the model demonstrated consistent cost savings and reduced inefficiencies. Additionally, profit improvements were observed due to decreased lost sales. For instance, profit for Afur BCP PVC Basket increased from IDR 990,000 to IDR 996,000, while Mold Cleaning Liquid increased from IDR 305,000 to IDR 330,000. Conclusions: The Economic Order Quantity model is more effective than the existing method in minimizing inventory costs, reducing stock imbalances, and improving service levels. The integration of safety stock and reorder point further enhances the system’s ability to handle demand variability. Implication. This study provides practical implications for construction material distributors by offering a data-driven inventory control framework. The findings support improved decision-making, cost efficiency, and customer satisfaction. Furthermore, the proposed system can be extended by integrating digital inventory applications and hybrid models for future research.

Abstract

Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis beban kerja fisik pada pekerja di UMKM Kemplang "X" menggunakan metode Cardiovascular Load (CVL). Metode ini digunakan untuk mengetahui tingkat pembebanan kerja berdasarkan respon denyut jantung pekerja selama beraktivitas. Data dikumpulkan melalui pengukuran denyut nadi saat kerja dan saat istirahat pada lima orang pekerja bagian produksi. Hasil analisis menunjukkan bahwa nilai %CVL pekerja berada dalam rentang 35,45% hingga 38,46%, dengan rata-rata sebesar 36,45%. Nilai tersebut termasuk dalam kategori pembebanan sedang, yang berarti kondisi kerja masih layak namun memerlukan perbaikan agar tidak menimbulkan kelelahan jangka panjang. Analisis lebih lanjut menggunakan diagram fishbone menunjukkan bahwa pembebanan kerja disebabkan oleh faktor manusia (istirahat tidak teratur), metode kerja (masih manual), mesin (alat tradisional), dan lingkungan (suhu tinggi). Berdasarkan hasil tersebut, diusulkan beberapa perbaikan seperti penjadwalan istirahat yang teratur, penggunaan alat bantu, penerapan teknologi tepat guna, serta perbaikan ventilasi ruangan. Diharapkan usulan ini dapat menciptakan lingkungan kerja yang lebih ergonomis dan mendukung produktivitas kerja yang optimal
