Abstract

Ergonomics and design have made a greatest combination in develop a product. This project discusses about the development of a workstation that ensure a comfortable environment to the consumer through the enhancement of the current workstation in CADCAM laboratory, FKP, UTeM. The objective of this project is to propose a comfortable workstation in CADCAM laboratory, FKP, UTeM that based on ergonomic requirement for the user even though they are using it for a long period. The comfort aspect in this project is based on 6 important parameters of ergonomic workstation, which is the size of chair and table, the height of table and chair, the distance between chair and table, the distance between user and computer devise, the distance between workstation and also the visibility and normal line of sight. There are two methods that will be used for data gathering which are anthropometric measurement and market survey. There are 45 respondents for market survey and most of them are FKP’s student that currently uses this lab. While for anthropometric measurement, there are 45 male and female students were taken as respondent to measure their part of body sitting posture. All the data will be used as an input for RULA analysis before developing a new design of workstation. From discussion, some of the main problem has been defined which give affect student discomfort, for example limited spaces, glare and inconsistent temperature. Furthermore, this can be explained more after RULA's analysis, where the result shows the unsatisfactory condition with the score of 5. Nevertheless, this problem has been solved when the new workstation design is developed in which the data collected and the analysis from ergonomics aspects has been implemented in the new design successfully with the score of 2. As a conclusion, this project definitely is an application of ergonomics aspect which it is used to improve the product quality by ensures the user can adapt the product in various conditions especially for using it in longer period of time. This condition has been made by differing from one into other elements of ergonomics before considered in design.
