Multifunction Trolley Based On Anthropometry for UD. Santosa to Minimize the Physical Workload That Caused by Material Manual Handling

Abstract

Abstract This paper discusses about the manual material handling activities in the UD. Santosa. The activities give a particular injury because of the excessive load. Minimizing manual material handling can decrease and prevent a big number of injuries and fatigue. The increased rate of the injury that happened on the workers is also one of the indicator that there is excessive physical workload. This study aims to minimize the manual material handling and the physical workload by making multifunction trolley using anthropometrics. The method that used in this research is Cardiovascular Load, Anthropometrics. The result shows that the recommended weight load for each operator is 7.30411 kg, 5.93229 kg, 4.949725 kg, 2.88399 kg, and 2.594356 kg to avoid the risk of injury. For the physical workload for operators classified into 60% need to be improved and 40% no fatigue. The size for the multifunction trolley based on anthropometrics is 72.54 cm for the height of incline mode, 134.56 cm for the height of the trolley, 105.813 cm for the height of the of the hand holder, and 9.19177 cm for the width of the hand holder.
