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.

Abstract

Background. This paper examines the impact of uncomfortable workplaces on absenteeism and employee complaints in the shoe and automotive industries. The risk of work-related accidents can be caused by several factors, such as unsafe actions resulting from unsuitable work positions for employees. Aims. This study analyzes the risk of MSDs interference among workers in the Material Inspection and Packing Department of PT X Shoe Company and PT Adyawinsa Stamping Industry (PT ASI). Method. The methods employed include direct observation in the workplace, visual documentation, in-depth interviews with workers, and measurements using the REBA. Result. The measurement results indicate that arranging materials on shelves and boxes on pallets has a REBA score that falls in the medium to high category, making it necessary to improve the working position as soon as possible. Conclusion. Improvement efforts are made to assistive devices, and directions are given to workers to improve their work posture. The results of work improvement using these tools will lead to a safer and more comfortable work environment. Implementation. This study proposes the application of anti-fatigue mats, improved air circulation, and work posture training to reduce ergonomic risks. With these interventions, employees can work more effectively, improving work comfort, reducing the risk of MSDs, and enhancing worker productivity.
