Design Facility Tool for Reducing the Work Posture Risk and Increasing Productivity at Batik Industry.

There was previous research using REBA in Printing Som.A Tex batik industry. There were work elements that had high-risk level work posture. The problem caused low productivity among workers. The worker's productivity was 18 batik series per hour. So, needs to be repaired immediately. This research aims to design the facility tool to reduce risk work posture and increase productivity among the workers. Design facility tool using product design and development approach. The steps are: identifying the customer requirements, determining the facility tool concept, assessing the facility tool concept, determining the dimension and specification for the selected facility tool concept. The result from this research is there are three different alternative concept designs for facility tool. The selected alternative design based on the rank of facility tool concept assessment. The selected design concept is alternative III. Alternative III is a rack with manual operation system, cell divider system for batik dress and using the partition, specification divider about batik dress using the different color, the material of frame using profile L plate, the material of cross section using triplex, and there are wheels for the additional feature.
