However, there are some problems to be faced by the craftsman in making the handicrafts such as the time constraints for the production of products until to the market, the size, and also pain in the hand while making the handicraft products. Therefore, assisting tool or devices in manufacturing of rattan handicraft is needed to solve the problem. The methods used are questionnaire survey, CATIA software and Solidwork software. CATIA software was used to analyze the posture body of the handicraft worker through the Rapid Upper Limb Analysis (RULA) analysis while, Solidwork software was used to analyze the Finite Element Analysis (FEA) of the design product. The survey was conducted at Kumawanan village, Tambunan, Sabah and got about 42 respondents. The body posture result very unsafe for handicrafts worker for manual making rattan baskets. The Factor of safety for the product is equal to one, so the product is safe and stable to be used.
