Designing an Ergonomic-Based Work Facility of Dough Stirrer for Kerupuk Cipir Using Rapid Entire Body Assesment (REBA) Analysis to Reduce Muskuloskeletal Complaints and Increase Productivity

Abstract

The small and medium-sized enterprises (UKM) of Kerupuk Cipir are the home industries which produce kerupuk cipir. During the making process, there were still many phases which were done manually using a simple work facility. During the dough stirring phase, the workers used a bending work posture (unergonomic) which caused musculoskeletal complaints and various problems toward the workers. Therefore, a research was conducted by applying rapid entire body assesment (REBA) analysis to decrease musculoskeletal complaints and increase productivity. The research was conducted experimentally at UKM Kerupuk Cipir in Binangun Village, Karangpucung District, Cilacap Regency by using the treatment by subject design. There were two treatments given toward the sample: stirring the dough using the former work facility and stirring the dough using the improved work facility through ergonomic approach. The musculoskeletal complaints were measured using Nordic Body Map questionnaire. The data were analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics. The results showed a decrease on REBA score from 11 on level 4 which was in the category of high risk into score of 4 on level 2 which was in the category of quite high when the handle position is on the upper side, score of 5 when the handle position is on the front side, and score of 7 when the handle position is on the lower side. The workers’ complaints of severe pain on 9 body parts and pain on 6 body parts were decreased into mild pain on 7 body parts and no pain on 20 other body parts. Work productivity increased into 89.62%.

Usulan Perbaikan Postur Kerja Dengan Menggunakan Metode Rapid Entire Body Assesment (RBA) Pada Pekerja Industri Ukm Ikan Bandeng Sumber Jaya Tani (Poklashar Cilamaya Wetan)

“…Penelitian yang dilakukan oleh Tri budiyanto dan kawan-kawan adalah penerapan analisis postur kerja dengan metode REBA (Rapid Entire Body Assesment) untuk menurunkan keluhan musculoskeletal disorders serta meningkatkan produktivitas kerja. Perbaikan yang dilakukan dengan menggunakan perancangan layout serta tindakan lainnya untuk meminimalisir kecelakaan kerja seperti standar baku [3]. Penelitian yang dilakukan oleh Yi-Lo Cheng dan kawan-kawan menyimpulkan bahwasanya metode REBA (Rapid Entire Body Assesment) mengetahui tingkat risiko postur kerja yang dilakukan serta melakukan upaya pencegahan melalui tindakan sistematis atau langkah-langkah mitigasi dapat berupa sistem kerja, standar baku atau continous improvement [4].…”

Ergonomic Risk Analysis of Musculoskeletal Disorders (MSDs) Using ROSA and REBA Methods On Administrative Employees Faculty Of Science

“…This method can be used to quickly assess a worker's posture. In addition, the method is also influenced by coupling factors, external loads supported by the body and worker activities (Prabaswari et al, 2020;Budiyanto & Setiyoso, 2021). The inputs for the REBA method are: 1.…”
