Abstract

PT Adyawinsa Stamping Industries (ASI) is one of the automotive industry companies operating during the COVID-19 pandemic. As a result, there are government policies that companies need to follow to continue operating safely. Policies related to COVID-19 need to be implemented in conjunction with the company's Occupational Safety and Health (K3). Based on interviews conducted with company representatives, an evaluation is required in order to find out the implementation of policies related to COVID-19 in line with K3 in the Welding Department. Initial observations are carried out to determine the actual conditions and identify operational activities. K3 evaluation is carried out by applying the Failure Mode and Effect Analysis (FMEA) method to determine the potential hazards. The results of the FMEA evaluation provide a series of hazard priorities and potential dangers that guide the design of improvement proposals. The proposal's design was implemented using the Participatory Ergonomics (PE) method involving several stakeholders. The improvement proposal is the result of identifying the needs of the Welding Department workers based on discussions conducted through the PE method. The discussion resulted in a proposed design in the form of reviewing and controlling SOPs and conditions in the field, implementing periodic safety training, and installing instruments to remind workers of K3 in operational activities. The instruments designed in the study are several infographic materials regarding implementing K3 and COVID-19 prevention in the workplace.

Abstract

People in this era have various needs in carrying out life. The needs that need to be used by the community have multiple kinds of things, such as clothing. Clothes used by the community go through various processes before becoming finished goods. Before becoming ready-to-wear, clothes came from raw materials such as fabric rolls. There are multiple production processes, such as yarn, fabric, chemical dyeing, etc. One of the places where fabrics are produced is textile factories. A textile factory is a company that produces products in the form of fabrics. The manufacture of fabrics that occur in textile factories must involve mixing chemicals so that the fabric has good quality. The process of mixing these chemical substances involves workers, and the chemical substances used are classified as Hazardous and Toxic Materials (B3), so these chemicals can have a bad impact on their workers if there is physical contact with the worker's body. Exposure to chemicals in the worker's body will cause a risk of developing Occupational Diseases (PAK). Therefore, in this study, data will be processed to prevent workers' risk of Occupational Diseases (PAK) using the HIRADC (Hazard Identification, Risk Assessment, and Determining Control) method. The proposal given in this study is a proposal for the use of Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) and Standard Operating Procedure (SOP) for preventive measures against Occupational Diseases (PAK) for workers

Abstract

This industry consists of companies engaged in metal processing and workmanship. Companies often receive complaints from employees concerning pain or discomfort in their bodies, causing diseases such as low back pain and myalgia. The risk of accidents occurring at work is inseparable from the work done. Work-related accidents can occur due to several factors, including unsafe action. One cause of unsafe actions can be found in various unsafe work postures that workers assume. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to evaluate the posture of these workers so that it can improve their safety and health. This research was conducted by identifying occupational risks workers face and examining work performed in stamping products. The production section consists of six stations: material handling, stamping, welding, hemming, painting, and packing. The work risks run by workers have been identified using the Nordic Body Map (NBM) questionnaire and interview methods. As for the identification of the type of work carried out by evaluating work postures, the Rapid Entire Body Assessment (REBA) method has been employed. The risk level of accidents is also used for the selection of activities to be improved to minimize the level of injury risk caused by work postures that have been assumed, and in order to improve the safety and health of the workers. Improvements made are in engineering, such as manufacturing of assistive devices, and management engineering, such as providing directions that can improve the specific work posture used. Calculations are based on simulations performed with tools conducted with suggested postures by evaluation using the REBA method. Based on the results of REBA calculations, the resulting risk is lower than the one caused by the previously assumed posture, namely medium and low.

Abstract

PT. Adyawinsa Stamping Industry is one of the automotive companies in Karawang, West Java. In the production process, most of the work has poor posture, which can cause VascularDisorders (MSDs). In the process of eliminating and reducing the risk of MSDs in the workplace, the level of MSD risk experienced by workers is calculated using the REBA method. The results of the REBA calculation obtained several activities with values above 9 (meaning that an improvement is needed). To improve the work system using the Participatory ergonomic (PE) method involving the operator, management and ergonomics. The results of the application of PE in helping to reduce the risk level of MSDs are engineering (making auxiliary tools and also management engineering) that can improve the work posture used, namely using the REBA method. Based on the results of the REBA calculation after the improvement, the risk generated is a risk level smaller than the previous posture, namely medium and low. Real improvements are hoped to create a safe, comfortable, and productive workplace.

Abstract

A company called CV HB makes socks based on what its customers want. Bandung is home to CV HB. Several machines, including Santoni, Dakong, Obrass, Stock Steam, and others, are employed in CV HB's sock production process. Numerous personnel who are in charge of running the machinery and performing other production tasks are also a part of the production process. The execution of health and safety protocols has yet to be well-executed in the production sector. The organization saw 24 workplace accidents between 2019 and 2023, including injuries from needles and blades, hands stuck in machinery, brain injuries from machines, slipping down stairs, and many more incidents. In order to address health and safety concerns at CV HB, the research attempts to pinpoint the root causes of workplace mishaps and offer suggestions for enhancement. Hazard and Operability Review (HAZOP) and Failure Mode and Effects Analysis (FMEA) were the methodologies used in the investigation. A few suggestions for improvement for the chosen departments are using material handling tools during the material retrieval process, posting warnings about machines with sharp parts, requiring protective gear like masks and gloves, designing foam padding for sharp machine parts, and installing fans.

Abstract

In Bandung, coffee has grown to be a way of life and is highly valued. Nestled in Pasir Kaliki Square, specifically on Pasir Kaliki Street, is the Bandung-born coffee shop known as Sumiko. Based on 20 interviews, it is known that 80% of people need to be made aware of Sumiko Coffee Shop; as a result, sales from January 2022 to December 2022 fell short of the objective. Low awareness is the reason behind the need for more sales. In order to raise brand recognition, efforts must be made. First, based on interviews and literature reviews, identify the elements that affect brand awareness—such as advertising, social media marketing campaigns, and word-of-mouth—in the following stages. Distributing questionnaires was the method used to collect data. SmartPLS4 software was then used to process the data from the questionnaire. According to the data processing results, advertising and word-of-mouth factors considerably impact brand awareness. Giving out flyers, making promotional boards, showcasing the uniqueness of the product, allowing reviews and comments, and setting up promotions where customers who bring in a certain number of friends receive a discount or other incentives are some examples of proposals that can be made.

Abstract

Toko Retail X, a retail store, provides a variety of daily needs. The Southeast Sulawesi province's Baubau City is home to Toko Retail X, which was formed in 2010. Toko Retail X has been around recently. As a result of Toko Retail X's strategy of constantly adding new products, it is believed that the reduction in profitability results from a need for more knowledge about internal and external elements that affect the business environment. Several techniques were used in the study process, such as the QSPM (quantitative strategic planning matrix), SWOT strategy matrix, and analysis of Toko Retail X's internal and external elements. Toko Retail X's advantages and disadvantages are among the identified internal factors. Porter's Five Forces Model, Toko Retail X prospects and threats, and the IE matrix are among the external aspects identified to ascertain the company's current situation. The SWOT and QSPM strategy matrices will also be utilized to develop and choose corporate strategies. Toko Retail X's position in Region II, where this position signifies growth and build, is indicated by the research results. This means that the developed strategy can concentrate on product development to increase the applications of the product, market penetration to grow the existing businesses, and market development to reach new markets with our current products. The eleven options that make up the final approach have been given a ranking. Developing social media to showcase Toko Retail X's details and answer customer inquiries about the products they wish to purchase is the highest ranking.

Abstract

Background. Oil palm harvesting has many steps until the oil palm fruit can be distributed to the next stage. It began with cutting oil palm fronds using egrek aids, picking up oil palm with a corner tool, and transporting it with angkong aids. Aims. Blind prototype of egrek, tojok, and angkong aids in reducing cases of Musculoskeletal Disorders (MSDs) that occur in workers. Method. The measurement method of MSDs with the Nordic Body Map and Rapid Entire Body Assessment (REBA). Prototype design with literature study and prototyping practices. Result. Modified Egrek tools, designed by the researcher, can make it easier for harvesters to cut palm fronds. The results of this tool repair are able to reduce the REBA value. The corner aid enables the operator to avoid making sudden movements to withstand the mass load of fresh fruit bunches (FFB), thereby reducing the risk of MSDs interference. Ankle aids reduce the risk of injury to the wrist because they push heavy loads. Conclusion. Prototypes of egrek, tojok, and angkong aids have succeeded in reducing the risk of MSDs in oil palm harvesting.

Abstract

Background. Oil palm harvesting workers who work unergonomically often experience the risk of Musculoskeletal Disorders (MSDs) when using traditional harvesting tools, namely, egrek and angkong. Egrek is a tool for harvesting palm oil, and angkong is a tool for transporting oil palm from the plantation to a temporary shelter for palm oil. The unergonomic working position of palm oil workers during harvesting, combined with repetitive movements such as cutting leaves and picking palm oil, causes discomfort for the workers. Aims. Researchers designed ergonomic harvesting tools (egrek) and transport tools (angkong) to improve efficiency in oil palm harvesting. Researchers evaluated harvesting and transportation activities using the Nordic Body Map (NBM) questionnaire and the Rapid Whole-Body Assessment (REBA) method. Result. The analysis results showed that nearly all harvesting activities carry a high risk of MSDs. The respondents to this study were nine harvesters and 11 oil palm harvest workers who operated angkong. Conclusion. The results showed that harvesters often experienced discomfort in the buttocks and abnormal posture, and repetitive movements required to cut leaves and oil palm bunches. The results of the REBA calculation for palm harvest showed that it was very high (Very High), with scores of 12 when lifting the angle and 11 when pushing the corner. Therefore, immediate improvement was needed, as this had an impact on the risk of MSDs. Implementation. Also, the results of REBA's calculation for transporting oil palm bunches with angkong were 9. To reduce the REBA value by adding the angkong wheel so that the final REBA value is 7.
