Abstract

PT. XYZ, Tbk is a manufacturing company engaged in the field of automotive components with products in the form of radiators. In line packaging, the activities carried out by workers sometimes still use manual activities such as carrying, lifting, taking, placing, pushing or pulling objects. This repetitive activity can endanger the health of the operator if done with the wrong posture. Seeing these conditions, it is necessary to repair work stations that can improve the working conditions of operators in the process of working, reducing discomfort. After being researched using RULA (Rapid Upper Limb Assessment), the work process with the highest RULA score is 6 (moderate risk) with a bending motion during steples doos and in the REBA (Rapid Entire Body Assessment) assessment the highest score is 9 (high risk) with bending motion at the time of steples doos. Therefore, in this study, the work station (conveyor packing) was repaired so that the conveyor height could be set to improve non-ergonomic movements in the radiator packing process and layout changes so that the operator was more efficient at work.
