Abstract

In a manufacturing industry, the quality of product is a main priority to get the best quality products, therefore properly the right selection of materials and a highly skilled workforce must be done. In the process, a highly skilled workforce must be accompanied by an ergonomic work facilities, so the workers will feel comfortable. This condition will lead the maximized productivity of the workers and the product made will have the best quality. This research was done in CV Royaltrack, a company which is specialized in the fashion industry in Indonesia and Malaysia with the products such as t-shirts, polo shirts, shirts, pants, slippers, bags, shoes and belts. The problem in this company is having a not ergonomic work facility at the work station of pressing, which is proven by the results of the Nordic Body Map questionnaire. The questionnaire showing 14,29% of workers imbs who really do not have complaint of pain, while 85,71% of the workers’ limb had complaint of pain to the level of complaints reached on level two (mildly ill) amounted 25% of the limb, level three (ill) amounted 53,57% of the limbs and level four (very ill) amounted to 7,14% of the limb. From the result of the risk level of work identification that used Rapid Entire Body Assessment (REBA) method there are four out of ten work activities that have a risk on high level by reaching the action on level three, so the work facilities must be improved at the work station of pressing. The result of this research suggest a layout of the new ergonomic work desk facility with emphasis on anthropometry workers aspects so that workers feel safe and comfortable.
