Abstract

Maeswara Basket faces problems with manual flattening tools that are ineffective in producing crafts from water hyacinth fibre. The proposed solution is developing a flattening tool by considering ergonomics, work safety, speed settings, and primary controls features. This study uses a community-based research (CBR) approach with five stages: problem identification, literature analysis, design planning, manufacturing, and evaluation. Six people assessed the flattening tool based on ease of use, process efficiency, quality of results, and overall evaluation using a Likert scale of 1-5. The results showed that the tool met important criteria such as ergonomics, ease of operation, flattening speed, thickness consistency, quality of results, and component durability, with scores ranging from 4.3 to 4.8 out of 5.0, categorized as "very satisfactory." The new tool excels in ease of use, process efficiency, and quality of results, with the main features of speed settings and controls that maintain the stability of fibre size during the flattening process. This study contributes to the development of products according to community needs. It has the potential to increase the production capacity of water hyacinth artisans, with opportunities for further development using automation technology.

The primary focus of the activities was on the development and use of a flattening tool technology, which had previously been limited to manual processes. The program was conducted over four months, from April to July 2024, involving all workers, including the owner. The main activities included Focus Group Discussions, the design and fabrication of the flattening tool, as well as hands-on training sessions followed by performance evaluation. The target audience consisted of five individuals, including artisans and administrators. The training results demonstrated significant improvements in operational capabilities and productivity. Additionally, the workers’ ability to maintain and safely operate the new technology was enhanced. This initiative successfully increased the competitiveness of Maeswara's products in the market. Keywords: eichhornia crassipes; flattening technology; craft production; education and training; maeswara.
