Abstract
Workers in manufacturing companies are performing different types of working postures while undertaken manual material handling (MMH) activities. This study is regarding the working posture and psychophysical experience in a stamping die company, which is Miyazu Malaysia Sdn Bhd. The aim of this study is to investigate types of working postures which give discomfort experience to workers while undetaken manual handling activities, to analyze working postures and psychophysical factors among workers undertaken manual handling activities and hence to suggest improvement on workplace and posture to reduce the possibility to get musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs). The method used to analyze the condition of the working posture is by RULA analysia in CATIA software, meanwhile Microsoft Office Excel is used to analyze the questionnaire. The workers are mostly experiencing pain and discomfort from the assembly task and try out task. The body parts that are more likely to feel pain and discomfort are muscles, neck, trunk, legs and arms which are identified to be part of musculoskeletal system. As for the psychophysical experience, the workers are identified to be affected psychophysically after finishing their work by experiencing muscle fatigue, and also losing focus and makes error while working. Suggestions for improvements are mostly derived from adjusting the angular limitation or preferred angles and reduce the duration of work.
