“…The economic success of oil palm in raising the living standards of the rural population is seen in the fact that it contributes 5%-7% to the country's Gross Domestic Product (GDP) (Nambiappan et al, 2018). It is also an important source of employment with over 570 000 employed directly in the industry (Shukoor et al, 2018). With exports of palm oil and its related products exceeding RM60 billion in 2018 (MPOB, 2019), the crop is also a major foreign exchange earner for the country.…”

“…For the former, users know what they need and can express it explicitly. Thus, user requirements can be obtained through verbal descriptions, such as questionnaires (Zelesniack et al, 2021;Zheng et al, 2018), interviews (Martin et al, 2012;Shukoor et al, 2018;Willard et al, 2018), and online feedback (Zanker & Jessenitschnig, 2009). After collecting user requirements, their intentions can be translated into functional requirements.…”

This study proposes a method for mining potential user requirements from users’ nonverbal behaviors by analyzing their operational problems, since human behaviors reflect emotions and operational bottlenecks in human-machine interactions. Taking a single daily operation task as an example, three key steps were included in the method: first, modeling users’ operation and constructing the operation chain; second, finding emotional or physical problems in the operation chain, where the problems were defined mathematically as an emotional or physical load at each suboperation; and third, defining and obtaining potential user requirements by improving the operational problems when performing a task. Furthermore, a daily operation task was introduced to demonstrate and validate the method of mining user potential requirements. The results indicate that it is effective to discover the potential needs for a specific product and provide satisfactory solutions by calculating and optimizing operational problems.

“…The safety assessment is very much needed to reduce the incident of injuries related to work. Therefore, Shukoor et al (2018) have taken the initiative to develop a new design of hard hat for oil farm harvesters. With this innovation research, there is a solution for harvesters who refuse to wear the hard hat because they feel not comfortable, heavy and cause heat to the head.…”

Anthropometric data is widely used in various applications such as manufacturing, healthcare, forensics, and medical treatments. In addition, the data can be applied to design ergonomic tools, equipment, clothing, and footwear to ensure that the products, facilities, and services fit the users. This paper aims to analyze the existing literature on the importance of anthropometric data on the Malaysian population's productivity and quality of life and look into any further research that needs improvement. Guided by the PRISMA (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic reviews and Meta-Analyses), through Scopus and Web of Science databases, 15 related studies were identified. The review managed to extract six applications of anthropometric data and its seven perceived benefits. Data applications were classified into furniture, clothing and footwear, car seat, fitting and fixture, forensic investigation, and safety products. The benefits were grouped into easy to use, fit, well-being, welfare, safety, work efficiency, and identity verification by using thematic analysis. The review also highlighted the methodological issues related to the number of samples, locations coverage for a survey and the financial support in conducting research. Finally, several recommendations were drawn, including the importance of anthropometric database development at the end of this paper for reference by future scholars.

Development of new hard hat dimensions using user-centered design approach among oil palm harvesters

Abstract: The unpopularity of the current hard hat among oil palm harvesters stemmed from the discomfort from wearing, which showed that the development of a new hard hat could lead to better usage and the greater likelihood of wearing a hard hat throughout the working day.
