Abstract

CV. Adi Makmur Metalindo is a metal manufacturing company with physically intensive work activities in its production area. Based on initial observations, the layout of the production area has not fully applied ergonomic principles, resulting in inefficient workflow and health complaints among workers. This program aims to analyze the existing layout conditions, redesign the production area based on ergonomic principles, and measure the impact of these changes on work efficiency and comfort. The implementation method includes field observations, measurement of distances and time between work activities, posture analysis using the REBA method, and layout redesign using the Systematic Layout Planning (SLP) approach. As part of the impact evaluation, pre-test and post-test questionnaires were distributed to 10 workers to assess their perceptions before and after the proposed improvements. The analysis results show that the new layout design successfully reduced travel distance and process time, as well as improved the placement of work tools that were previously inefficient. The questionnaire results revealed a significant increase in workers’ perceptions of workflow efficiency, posture comfort, and satisfaction with the layout—showing an average score increase of 1.4 to 1.7 points. In addition, the program also raised awareness among workers about the importance of ergonomics in the workplace. In conclusion, the application of ergonomic principles in the reorganization of the production layout had a positive impact on both work efficiency and comfort. This program can serve as an applicable model of ergonomic implementation that benefits other small and medium-sized industries in creating a more productive and sustainable work environment.

Abstract

This community service activity was conducted at CV Adi Makmur Metalindo, a metal manufacturing company specializing in the production and assembly of palm oil machine components. The program aimed to address two main issues faced by the partner: the high time and cost of material handling, and the low levels of comfort and safety at work due to non-ergonomic working postures. The company’s production process is physically intensive and has yet to fully implement ergonomic principles in workplace design. The activity took place on April, 2025, in the form of a training and assistance session involving 12 participants. The method consisted of interactive lectures, discussions, hands-on simulations, and pre- and post-tests to assess participants' understanding. Results showed an increase in the average test scores from 54.2 to 82.5 (a 52% improvement), a 17.1% reduction in material handling time, and a decrease in REBA scores from 9.0 to 5.5, indicating a significant improvement in working posture. The application of basic ergonomic improvements such as layout adjustment and the use of assistive tools encouraged greater efficiency and workplace comfort. This program demonstrated that ergonomic education can be an effective and practical solution for medium-scale industries aiming to improve productivity and occupational safety.
