Perancangan Alat Troli Pengangkut Bubuk Teh Menggunakan Metode Ergonomic Function Deployment (EFD) pada Stasiun Penggulungan di PTPN IV Unit Tobasari

Abstract

PT Perkebunan Nusantara IV Tobasari Unit is an agro-industrial business unit engaged in the tea processing business. Work carried out without paying attention to the health and safety of workers can affect worker productivity. Worker health and safety problems can include Musculoskeletal Disorders (MSDs). Musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs) are conditions where there are complaints about the skeletal muscles experienced by workers. PT Perkebunan Nusantara IV Tobasari Unit has a rolling station, where at this station workers transport tea powder that has been rolled on the OTR (Open Top Roller) machine then to the BIN machine using a trolley. The transportation equipment in the form of a trolley used has dimensions that are too short or not ergonomically designed. Based on the results of initial observations and interviews, it was discovered that a number of 8 operators transporting tea powder experienced complaints of back pain and lumbago. The aim of this research is to provide suggestions for improving the design of trolleys transporting tea powder at the rolling station at PT Perkebunan Nusantara IV Tobasari Unit in minimizing risks and complaints of Musculoskeletal Disorders (MSDs) as well as improving the quality of equipment using the Ergonomic Function Deployment (EFD) method. Based on determining repair priorities using the ergonomic function deployment (EFD) method and calculating the operator's anthropometric data at PTPN IV Tobasari Tea Garden, design attributes were obtained, such as adding a push handle, increasing the height of the trolley using the operator's anthropometric data, adjusting the dimensions of the trolley tank with the existing trolley. raised, the number of trolley wheels is increased and the diameter of the trolley wheels is increased, the trolley material is corrosion resistant and resistant to load pressure, the shape of the trolley tub is designed with obtuse angles that are easy to clean, the trolley handle has a rubber coating added, the trolley has a steering wheel added.
