Abstract

Manual jobs can make the time-to-fatigue for the worker become shorter when they work in awkward posture or working for a long time. This study focuses on the package insert folding workstation in a vacuum manufacturing company. In the existing workstation, the operators have to perform the folding work of the insert in the packaging. The workers also have to do a repetitive work. Due to incorrect or awkward working posture, the workers may expose to various ergonomics risk factors. In the vacuum package insert folding workstation, there are two ergonomics risk factors involved which are awkward working posture and repetitive movement. The table’s height is fixed, but the heights of the operators are different to each operator. This condition can contribute to low back pain and fatigue to the operator. Thus the product that will be covered in this project is a table workstation. This project applied questionnaire survey, CATIA software, Quality Function Deployment (QFD) and Rapid Upper Limb Assessment (RULA) Analysis to determine the operator’s requirements, redesign the workstation and evaluate the working posture of the operator. The survey was conducted in the Flextronics Technology, Senai in Johor Bahru.
