Abstract :
ABSTRACT
Murakabi Jaya Mandiri Company is manufacturing and export company of
coconut shell charcoal briquette. It can produce ± 1 to 1.3 tons of briquettes everyday,
while the production target should 2 tons per day. The problem is the manual packing
process takes a long time. The packaging is done by 13 workers with no ergonomic
position. The position of the packaging is sitting using a small chair, then took the
briquettes on the floor and put into the plastic. The packaging process takes an average
of 3 minutes to 1 plastic packaging sizes 1 kg. The process will reduce the productivity of
the company. Therefore, it takes a packaging tool development briquettes with an
ergonomic design for increased productivity briquettes.
Briquette packaging tool development is done uses the steps of Pahl and Beitz
methods. The method explains detail of the stages in designs a technology in the transport
of briquettes into plastic packaging. Briquette packaging tool was developed with
ergonomic design. The draft notice worker comfort, thus making workers comfortable in
packaging. The development tool will be realized by the form of manufacturing. Testing
tool packaging briquettes made qualitatively and quantitatively against workers packing.
The production of briquettes were made by 13 workers with manual packaging
obtained 1071 kg / day, while using a packaging tool briquettes obtained to 1720 kg /
day. Revenue per month with manual packing obtained Rp 348.075.000,-, while using a
packaging tool briquettes obtained Rp 559.000.000.-. Profit per month with manual
packing obtained Rp 226.200.000,-, while using a packaging tool briquettes obtained Rp
437.125.000.-. These results show that using a packaging tool briquettes can improve
productivity. Comparison time manual packaging is ± 3.15 min and using tools obtained
± 1.03 min. Quantitative testing worker fatigue with the calculation of the pulse rate
decreased using manual packaging at 37.04% to 28.08% using the tool. Qualitative
testing showed that workers operate the device easily in packaging briquettes.
