Abstract

Musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs), known in Indonesia as Gangguan Otot Tulang-Rangka Akibat Kerja (GOTRAK) are one of the most common ergonomic problems in the workplace, caused by poor posture, repetitive movements, and long working hours. These conditions have a negative impact on employee health and productivity and increase healthcare costs for companies. This study aims to analyze the potential for GOTRAK complaints among workers in the box packaging process in the food seasoning industry, in accordance with Indonesian National Standard (SNI) 9011:2021. This study was conducted using a quantitative approach with a Musculoskeletal Disorder Questionnaire to assess MSD complaints. Data were collected through field observation, questionnaire completion, and work posture analysis using the methods outlined in SNI 9011:2021. The research variables included work posture, work duration, and physical strain of the workers. The results of the worker interviews regarding body part complaints showed a high risk level with risk scores of 19 and 20. The most common parts of the body to experience pain were the shoulders, upper back, lower back, and hips. The results of the ergonomic assessment of the upper body in carton packing work gave a score of 38, indicating hazardous conditions that require immediate improvement. In addition, the results of the analysis were used to develop ergonomic-based improvement recommendations to increase safety and comfort in the workplace. It is hoped that this study will provide companies with guidance on how to reduce ergonomic risks in the workplace, improve workers' wellbeing and support the development of a more sustainable industry.

Abstract

Equipment failure significantly impacts machine performance, leading to decreased productivity, increased repair costs, and reduced production output. PT XYZ, a company engaged in cement production, has been experiencing frequent downtime on the Raw Mill Plant 10 machine, resulting in abnormal production volumes and reduced efficiency. These issues contribute to the engine efficiency index remaining below the industry standard. To address these challenges, a comprehensive performance evaluation and improvement strategy is necessary. This study implements Total Productive Maintenance (TPM) by integrating the Overall Equipment Effectiveness (OEE) metric and applying the DMAIC (Define, Measure, Analyze, Improve, Control) methodology to identify and reduce inefficiencies. Additionally, a fishbone diagram is utilized to determine the root causes of the problem. The findings reveal that the OEE value for the Raw Mill machine is 80.78%, falling short of the 85% benchmark. Among the six big losses affecting equipment performance, speed losses account for 79.81%, making it the most dominant contributor to inefficiency. These results suggest the need for targeted improvements focused on minimizing speed-related disruptions, optimizing machine availability, and enhancing overall equipment performance to meet production targets and cost efficiency goals.

Abstract

Manufacturing companies often face challenges in maintaining machine performance to avoid operational losses. PT. XYZ is a company engaged in the flat glass production sector. The company experienced problems from water heater engine damage caused by several factors; the main problem found was the frequent occurrence of extended failures due to maintenance errors that increased the risk of damage to the engine and stopped production. Therefore, the use of the intensity function is a concept that can predict engine failure by involving historical analysis of the damage using Weibull and exponential distributions to predict the time of failure. Thus, this analysis results in two maintenance policies that are compared, namely Periodic Replacement Policy (Policy 4) and Repair Count Policy (Policy 5). The results of the study show that Policy 4, with an optimal time to replace the engine every 923 hours or 39 days, results in lower maintenance costs (Rp 11,447,000) compared to Policy 5 (Rp 15,500,000) and an estimate where engine damage will begin to occur every T=200, and it is recommended to repair and replace the Main Unit every T=800. In conclusion, updating the preventive maintenance schedule with the implementation of Policy 4 can minimize maintenance costs and the risk of machine damage, thereby increasing the company's operational efficiency.

Abstract

Dairy Nails is one of the MSMEs that provides quality artificial nail products in Bandung with various designs. In a survey conducted of Dairy Nails customers, there was a decrease in buying interest caused by customer dissatisfaction. One of the reasons for this is the false nail packaging that does not meet customer expectations. Packaging is an important factor in a product because it protects the product inside. Therefore, it is necessary to improve the packaging design of artificial nails that can increase consumer buying interest. Proposed improvements will be made using the Quality Function Deployment (QFD) method, which makes consumer needs a reference in product design. Thus, the proposed packaging design can meet consumer desires and expectations. The results of this study are designing false nail packaging according to customer wants and needs with specifications, namely polycarbonate plastic material, with a clamshell packaging shape, using a hinged lid method cover, with a font size of 12 pt; the font types used are Arapey and Moontime, and the proposed beige packaging has a logo and has dimensions of 8.5 x 8.5 cm. Thus, the packaging contributes to better showing the product, is informative, and can be reused by consumers.

Abstract

The development of industrial manufacturing automation drives the need for efficiency, but the majority of part receiving processes in the automotive warehouse department are still traditional, making them prone to human error. This research aims to identify the causes of human error in receiving, analyze its impact on warehouse accuracy and efficiency, and provide recommendations for improvement. Periodic data from July-December 2024 shows that 43.27% of warehouse errors occurred during receiving. The quantitative method Human Error Assessment and Reduction Technique (HEART) was applied to 6 main activities and 12 subtasks, resulting in the highest error probability (HEP) for the subtask of checking the physical condition of the part (HEP = 12.085). The qualitative approach Systematic Human Error Reduction and Prediction Approach (SHERPA) identified the dominance of action errors and checking errors, particularly in part checking, data input, material handling, and document verification. The combination of findings from HEART-SHERPA reveals that human error slows down the receiving process, disrupts actual stock, and delays production flow. Recommendations for improvement include (1) technical training and routine briefings to enhance operator competency, (2) implementing a buddy system and double verification using checklists, and (3) re-layouting the transit area with tag labels and structured archiving.
