Abstract. Laundry business is popular service business in Indonesia that mostly involve muscle activity for lifting and ironing activity. It causes the worker get muscular fatigue and injury especially for ironing activity that is included in the static and monotonous activity. moreover, existed ironing board design in the market is not easy to be adjusted to standing or sitting position of workers. Hence, this paper aimed to design the innovative and adjustable ironing board to minimize the musculoskeletal complaint. The preliminary study is conducted by NBM questionnaires found that fatigue experienced mostly in the back, right upper arm, and calves. The product designed by Kansei engineering to satisfy consumer's feeling and assessed by USE questionnaire to fulfil consumer's usability. Orthogonal array and conjoint analysis were conducted to incorporate all attribute potentials in developing a new single concept design. Statistical analysis was also done to test the hypothesis. 80 respondents have participated in this study. The result of this study is an innovative design of ironing board which is valid to meet consumers' needs such as comfort, secure, attractive, sturdy, durable and multifunction and practical at 5% of the significant level.
Motion is one type of waste and it is a great challenge for the Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) to enhance the efficiency and productivity of all processes. The integration between lean and ergonomics in waste reduction has been identified as a tool to boost up the performance of SMEs. The aim of this study is to reduce the processing time by eliminating the motion using the hybrid of MOST and 5S practices at CV. Sahabat Ternak. The data has been collected to determine and analyse the inefficient movements of operators at their work stations by comparing before and after MOST-5S implementation. The results had shown a significant reduction of processing standard time in each four division as follows: Receiving Div. is 5.7%, Processing Div. is 1.3%, Milling Div. is 5.8%, and Packaging Div. is 19.5%.
