Abstract

Ergonomics is a study of human scientific discipline and their relationship to their occupational environment. Every working individual will expose to ergonomics risk due to the nature of the work itself. This study was conducted to make comparison from existing design and finalize design in term of ergonomics design and to analyze the ergonomics using RULA analysis. The methods used in this study is observation, questionnaire, quality function development (QFD), product design specification (PDS), morphological chart and weight decision matrix. From the morphological chart, four concept design have been proposed and one of them has been selected to be the final design by using weight decision matrix. The outcome of this study is the ergonomics analysis has been conduct by using CATIA software. The final design and existing design has been compare in order to see the different ergonomics results. The results have been obtained through the RULA analysis. Other than that, the ergonomics analysis has been divided into two position which are seating position and standing position. Each position has been analyzed into several posture there are standing and seating posture, placing item into the packaging machine or bagging area and pointing towards the LCD monitor or keyboard. From the analysis, the final design shows more ergonomics compared to the existing design in term of seating and standing position By having ergonomics analysis, the ergonomics design can help the cashier can be in a comfortable when doing job, less chance risk of injury happened and make the checkout process more effective.
