Abstract

This project aims to study and simulate several human's task related to human capabilities while using milling machine in JTKP Machining Technology Laboratory. Observation has been conducted on three males and three females students group of Faculty of Engineering Technology (FTK) with the height category in tall, medium and short. The respondents working postures while doing set-up procedures on milling machine had been recorded and photographed. Based on the observation, the working layout in milling machine laboratory was designed using CATIA V6 software. A lifelike manikin was inserted and edited based on the anthropometrics data collected from the respondents. Then, the human activity analysis was simulated by using DELMIA Ergonomics analysis. The respondents working postures was then analyzed and justified by using Rapid Upper Limb Assessment (RULA) method. Based on the RULA scores, the ideal working postures while working on milling machine was proposed to minimize the risk from Musculoskeletal Disorders (MSD). MSD is one of the sicknesses caused by manual handling task such as holding, lifting, carrying, pushing and pulling. Milling machine operations has been identified involve several kinds of manual handling activities.
