Abstract

The physical workload of employees is an important factor in the manufacturing industry as it directly affects both productivity and occupational health. This study aims to analyze the physical workload level of operators in the Front Axle A, Front Axle B, and Timing Gear Case production lines at PT Otomotif Cakung using the Work Load Analysis (WLA) method. Data were obtained through direct observation of actual working time for seven effective hours per day involving seven operators. The results showed that operators in the Front Axle A line and some in the Front Axle B line experienced workloads below the standard (<100%), while operators in the Timing Gear Case Line had workloads above the standard (>100%). The highest workload value was found in Operator 2 of the Timing Gear Case Line at 120%, while the lowest was recorded in Operator 2 of the Front Axle B line at 84%. These findings indicate an imbalance in workload distribution among production lines. Therefore, task redistribution, job rotation, and the addition of manpower in high-demand areas are required to achieve balanced workloads and improve the company’s operational efficiency. Keywords: Evaluation, Manufacture, Operator, Work Load, Work Load Analysis.
