Abstract
Factors of workstation design and workers posture should take into consideration to raise the profitability and in the meantime secure the workers from any peril, injuries and medical issue, such as, Musculoskeletal Disorder (MSD). The main purpose of this study is to analyze the working posture and design ergonomic workstation in channel assembly process. Working posture and workstation design have been selected in this study because both are important in order to reduce the risk factors of MSD and raise the productivity in term of labor productivity. With regard to improve and redesign the workstation, Rapid Upper Limb Assessment (RULA) Analysis in CATIA software is used to analyze the current workstation design and the operator posture. The NIOSH equation is used to identify the suitable Lifting index of the operator. Productivity calculation have been used to analyze and justify the current and productivity improvement. In addition, the REBA assessment also utilized in order to analyzed the working postures of entire body. Hence, reduced REBA assessment score also been used for validation of operators’ posture and improvement of workstation design. RULA scores and the NIOSH equation of working posture improved and the productivity increased after the redesigning of workstation.
