Abstract

This research is carried out in order to evaluate the working postures of seven workers withdifferent job categories at a garden maintenance service. These seven categories of works aredivided into 23 work elements. The aim of this research is to investigate the presence of work-related pain symptoms, find all risk related to poor working postures, and finally propose sets ofrecommendations for improvement of working methods. Nordic Body Map questionnaire is usedin the study to detect the occurrences of workrelated pain. Meanwhile, risk level assessment forworking postures was carried out by means of Rapid Entire Body Assessment (REBA) method.All the two applied on seven job categories of workers.The results showed that all workers observed experienced with pain symptoms both after and before carry out the work. According to REBA analysis, there are 82.6% medium level risk working elements, 10.9% high level risk, 4.3% very high level risk, and 2.2% low level risk. Recommendation for improvement of working posture was given for work element, namely fertilizer sowing(very high level risk), hedge trimming (high level risk), and pesticide spraying (high level risk).Implementation of these proposed improvements result on diminishing the frequency of occurrence and the level of risk on physical pain.

Abstract

People's lifestyles encouraged them to devour the main dish in a short amount of time. It demonstrated the value of snack foods as a source of supplementary energy. To present an example of marketing agro-industry in some healthy snack foods for college student, it was necessary to understand consumer behaviors regarding sugar intake in snacking. The marketers need to understand the customer perceptions and behaviors towards nutritional content in snack foods to create healthy snack food. The aims of this study were: 1) to analyze the consumer perceptions and behaviors of nutritional content in snack food products; 2) to identify dominant factors which affect the consumption of snack food products. The study was conducted on 200 respondents of college students. Snack foods were commonly consumed by college students, who were classified as adolescents, in between substantial meals. Descriptive statistics and Principal Component Analysis (PCA) were performed. Consumer impressions on a preliminary assessment of the nutrition label, which includes sugar components, were determined using descriptive statistics. Furthermore, PCA was performed to identify the main consumer characteristics that affect snacking, allowing the impact of sugar content on snack food consumption. The results indicated that the consumers were concerned enough about eating nutritious meals. Consumers, on the other hand, rarely read nutrition labels. The "benefit" and "wants" factors were the most important elements affecting consumer snack food intake. The nutritious composition of snack foods, on the other hand, did not affect snack food consumption. The consumers were unconcerned about the sugar content in snack food.

Abstract

The risk of Musculoskeletal Disorders (MSDs) is one of the problems that often occurs in manual handling workers with heavy loads in repetitive work movements for a long time. One example of this movement is the manual palletization activity of Bottled Drinking Water products at PT XYZ. Initial observations showed that 18 workers felt limb discomfort while stacking cardboards of 18kg water bottles. This study aims to determine the Recommended Weight Limit (RWL) used to measure the lifting load limit for workers; Lifting Index (LI) measurement that can describe the level of safety of lifting loads.The results showed that the load limit in drinking water palletization activities exceeded RWL, while the results of the LI calculation showed that manual palletization activities of bottled drinking water had a score of 6.4 where the LI score according to the safety standards of lifting activities was 1. These results indicate that manual palletization activities are not safe for workers and are at risk of causing MSDs. This is evidenced by the results of the assessment of the level of work posture discomfort using NBM which shows the highest pain score in the lower back of the body. Furthermore, workload measurement results vary from heavy to very heavy. From all parameters measured, it can be seen that the manual palletization activity of Bottled Drinking Water products at PT XYZ is very poor. The recommendation that can be proposed is to change the work system of manual palletization activities to a mechanical or automatic system.

Abstract

Home Industry Putra Tunggal Wonosobo is a tempeh chip industry whose production process is manual, so it can have a negative impact on worker ergonomics. Preliminary research was conducted by interviewing pain complaints and assessing work posture using the OWAS method. The tempeh chips packaging workstation was the workstation that had the most pain complaints at 67.86% (19 of 28 body parts) and the highest OWAS score at 4, so this was at high risk of experiencing musculoskeletal disorders. The next study used the NBM questionnaire to analyze the level of pain due to work and RULA for work posture. CATIA software was used to design tables and chairs, as well as assess the posture of the design results using the RULA method. Worker performance will be compared before and after using tables and chairs based on the level of body pain due to work (NBM) and work posture (RULA). The research results showed a decrease in the risk of work-related diseases by 80 and 78 to 40 and 44 (from high to low-risk levels) as well as a decrease in the RULA score from 7 (dangerous posture) to 2 (good posture).

Abstract

According to the National Socio-Economic Survey (SUSENAS) in 2020, the average consumption of packaged seasoning from 2016 to 2020 grew the highest compared to other types of food at 9.13%. One of the most popular packaged seasonings is rendang powder, often accompanied by problems such as easily torn primary packaging, poor packaging, and incomplete packaging label information. To overcome these problems, developing a packaging design and determining the shelf-life is necessary. This research aims to create a concept for packaging powdered rendang seasoning that offers the highest value and to determine the product's shelf-life using the chosen packaging. The packaging design for powdered rendang seasoning was developed using value analysis and shelf-life was determined using the Arrhenius model through Accelerated Shelf-Life Testing (ASLT). Based on the research, out of five packaging concepts tested, it was found that packaging concept 2 has the highest value of 1.31 with packaging specifications using a packaging material of aluminum foil combined with plastic. A stand-up bag with a rectangular clear section, the package has a notch, zipper, and full labeling. Packaging concept 2 is the chosen packaging concept that meets the research objectives. It addresses the issue of easily torn packaging and includes improvements in packaging quality and more comprehensive packaging labeling. Based on the shelf-life determination of 3 packaging that has the highest values and 1 control package, packaging concept 2 has the longest shelf-life of 131 days, and based on the results of the proximate test conducted, packaging concept 2 is packaging with a sample that does not differ significantly (p value>0.05) with the control sample for all parameters quality.
