Analisis Postur Kerja Operator Mesin Bubut di PT. X

Abstract

PT. X is one of the aerospace companies in Asia that has core competencies in
the design and development of airplanes. The manufacture of aircraft certainly
requires aircraft aids made by Machining tools. In this section there are many
machine operators, of course, require interaction between humans and
machines. However, there are some operators that still use conventional lathes.
The research is analyzing the work posture of conventional lathe operators
using the RULA (Rapid Upper Limb Assessment) method. The initial
observation was to disseminate the Nordic Body Map questionnaire to 2 lathe
operators with the same task, to find out complaints that occurred during or
finished working. The results of calculations using the Ergo Fellow software and
manual calculations produce the same score. Assessment of work posture on the
lathe operator PT. Indonesian Aerospace obtained a RULA score of 6, Action
Level 3, indicating that it has a moderate level of risk and action is needed in
the near future.
