“…The highest MSD complaints relate to the lower back, accounting for 50.9% of 78.4% of workers who complained [54]. The most common complaints are neck, shoulders, arms, hands, back, waist, legs and ankles [13]. Figure 5 shows the results of the calculation and risk categories of MSD complaints felt by chassis line assembly workers in sequence based on the three tools used for each workgroup starting from OWAS, RULA and REBA.…”

“…In general MSD is a complaint, especially for those who have monotonous jobs [10] [11]. Work done repeatedly with the same movements over a long period of time and done manually can cause work fatigue [12] [13]. MSD is a pain felt in the skeletal muscle that workers feel from light to highly painful [14] [15].…”

“…MSD's complaints that workers on this line impact the smoothness of the production journal.ump.edu.my/ijame ◄ process and require longer than the standard time to complete their tasks. Each item of related activity at the chassis line requires human beings as its main source because this process is done manually [13]. Chassis assembly lines have more danger and level of risk for workers than trimming and final lines due to working under the car body.…”

Car assembly is a combination of all components that form one completed vehicle unit. The work process is manually done and repeatedly, which contributes to a risk of musculoskeletal disorders (MSD). Chassis assembly is a job with a high level of complexity and associated with MSD risk for its employees. This study consists of 30 assembly activities divided into six groups based on posture and working methods used during the work process. Group A consists of 7 assemblies, Group B consists of 8 assemblies, Group C consists of 5 assemblies, Group D consists of 2 assemblies, Group E consists of 5 assemblies, and Group F consists of 3 assemblies. This study aims to compare the measurement and calculation of the risk level of MSD workers by using the RULA, REBA, and OWAS methods. The results of the measurements and computations acquired using these three approaches yielded the same risk category: 83.33 % medium risk/dangerous in working groups A, C, D, E, and F, and 16.67 % very high risk/highly hazardous in working group B. These six groups, particularly group B, requires immediate attention to reduce worker complaints of MSD.

This research aims to improve the banana chip-slicing process at Aneka Keripik Clarissa'N UMKM. The slicing is done manually, leading to workers' discomfort and Musculoskeletal Disorders (MSDs). To address this, we are designing a new machine based on the Nordic Body Map (NBM) questionnaire results. This machine, tailored using workers' anthropometric data, aims to be ergonomic, reducing fatigue and enhancing comfort and efficiency in the slicing process. The goal is simplifying and speeding up production while ensuring maximum worker well-being. Keywords: Anthropometrics, MSDS, Nordic Body Map, Tool Design
