<![CDATA[Magie Broom is an innovative cleaning tool designed by considering several principles such as ergonomics and anthropometry. This study aims to determine the optimal ergonomics design that can minimize the risk of musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs) that often arise from the use of traditional cleaning tools. The development of this tool involves several stages: literature review, field observations, and detailed design using the Quality Function Deployment (QFD) method, followed by testing. Anthropometric principles, especially for determining the optimal length and grip, are carefully considered to ensure the design meets user needs for ease of use, comfort, and cleaning effectiveness. The design The Magie Broom prototype was tested by various user groups such as housewives and students to obtain input used in refining the design. The test results showed that this tool was able to increase cleaning efficiency by provide 3in1 function and modularity. Its also provide comfort for users and reduce the potential for MSDs by decrease REBA score from 11 to 3. The design is very easy to carry, modular, and equipped with a rechargeable battery. The Magie Broom serves as a promising model for ergonomic product development especially in houshold tools, illustrating how thoughtful design can minimize physical strain and injury risk. Magie Broom offers a practical solution for everyday cleaning needs and has great potential to be further developed and marketed widely.]]>
