Use of Solar Energy Hybrid Dryer with Techno-Ergonomic Application to Increase Productivity of Dodol Wokers in Buleleng, Bali

Abstract

Abstract. Penglatan Village is one of dodol industrial centres in Buleleng Regency, Bali. Dodol is a balinese traditional snack that usually used for religion ceremonies offering or "sesajen". Dodol's making processes had several layer of stages, from making dough, stirring dough, packaging and drying dodol. Because the drying process is done with traditional work tools, this process cause several ergonomic problems. Based on preliminary research, the complaints that felt by dodol workers are pain in the neck, shoulders, back, waist, head, and hands. Therefore, productivity of workers are decreasing. This problem solved by designing a hybrid solar drying tools with the application of techno-ergonomic, appropriate technology concept (TTG) and from ergonomic science with the application of SHIP concept (systemic, holistic, interdisciplinary, participatory). This research use 20 people as sample. The sample performance is observed while working traditionally and using techno-ergonomic hybrid solar dryer tools. The measurements conducted three times which are First Period (PI), Second Period (PII), and Third Period (PIII) with interspersed time for rest. WOP (washing out period) is intended to eliminate residual effects. The data were analyzed with SPSS program with significance level of 0.05. Hopefully, with this solution will improve worker productivity.

Modified sitting grinder reduces complaints of musculoskeletal disorders, workload, and increases work productivity of blacksmiths in Tabanan Regency, Bali-Indonesia

“…The increase in productivity was obtained by 36.96% in the improvement of the work system, in the ergonomic application of the total pottery industry workers in Bantul by 30, the intervention by stretching and giving sweet tea to the tailor was also reported to increase worker productivity by 66.67%, an increase in productivity of 54.95% using a solar dryer with a Techno-Ergonomic approach in making traditional cake (dodol) in Singaraja, Bali, Indonesia, and an increase in productivity of 1.06% by using a sitting grinder in Tabanan Regency. [29][30][31] Understanding how musculoskeletal function and its symptoms impact workload and productivity, and by regularly assessing functional and activity limitations, recommending ergonomic adjustments in this study by providing sitting grinders to blacksmith workers is a strategy to maximize the functional ability and quality of life of workers.…”

Aplikasi Alat Bantu Ergonomis Pada Kerja Manual Berdasarkan Kajian Ergo-Mechanical Untuk Petani Kecil

“…Alat kerja didesain berdasarkan data antropometri pekerja sebagai pengguna alat kerja. Penerapan data antropometri pekerja terhadap desain alat kerja terbukti menurunkan keluhan muskuloskeletal dan meningkatkan produktivitas berdasarkan hasil penelitian pada alat penuang cairan logam, pengering hybrid energi surya, ruang pengering, dan pemanen manggis [6,7,8,9]. Ergonomi adalah studi efisiensi di lingkungan kerja, dengan menemukan yang paling sesuai antara pekerja dan kondisi pekerjaan, dan dapat menghindari cedera.…”

Aplikasi Ergonomi Berdasarkan Data Antropometri Pekerja Pada Desain Alat Kerja

“…Pendekatan ergonomi melalui aplikasi data antropometri pada mesin perontok padi mampu menurunkan keluhan muskuloskeletal operator dari 60 menjadi 12 [7]. Aplikasi ergonomi dengan data antropometri pekerja dalam desain alat kerja untuk petani kecil seperti pada alat pemanen manggis, pengering hybrid energi surya, ruang pengering, alat penuang cairan logam mampu menurunkan keluhan muskuloskeletal dan meningkatkan produktivitas [8,9,10,11].…”
