Abstract

This research assessed the body posture of rice processing workers using the Ovako Working Analysis System (OWAS) method to identify postures leading to high musculoskeletal disorder (MSD) risks. The study observed seven workers in a rice processing warehouse, where 60% of work postures were classified as high-risk (Action Code 4). These postures, frequently involving lifting heavy loads and prolonged bending, significantly contribute to the prevalence of MSD symptoms such as back, arm, and leg pain. Data collection included systematic observation and analysis categorized by OWAS Action Codes. Immediate corrective actions, including ergonomic adjustments and improved training, are essential to mitigate these risks. The findings emphasize the need for ergonomic interventions to enhance worker safety, reduce injury risks, and improve productivity. This research provides valuable insights into the ergonomic challenges in rice processing environments, underlining the importance of regular posture assessments and proactive measures to create safer workplaces.Keywords: Musculoskeletal, Ovako Working Analysis System, Work posture

Abstract

This research is conducted in SMEs engaged in the convection of children's and adult clothing. The problems in this study related to the optimization of the layout of the facility. The study aims to determine and compare the distance of moving materials before and after designing the layout of the facility and determining the layout of the facilities obtained by the From to Chart (FTC) method and the Layout Design Program Algorithm method. (ALDEP). The researchers took this problem to study because the production process flow from Adelian convection is still not optimal due to the large number of alternating material flows that cause swelling in material handling costs, resulting in less effective and efficient work. The results of the study using the FTC method obtained that the distance for the movement of goods for the initial layout from the process starting to storage is 624 m. The distance of the movement of goods for the proposal layout from the start of the process to storage is 437 m. Therefore, there is a reduction in the distance between facilities from the start of the process to the storage of goods by 187 m. The results of the study using the ALDEP method could cost material handling costs of 30.01% from the comparison between OMH/month in the initial layout, which was Rp.26. 947,778 with OMH/month from the proposal layout, which was Rp. 18,861,310.8, so there was a decrease in OMH/month by Rp. 8,086,467.2.
