Rancangan Perbaikan Sistem Kerja pada Stasiun Loading RAMP dan Rebusan PTPN IV Kebun Adolina Menggunakan Pendekatan Macro Ergonomic Analysis and Design (MEAD)

Abstract

Currently, the level of complexity of the work system is higher in relation to the development of science and technology. PTPN IV Kebun Adolina is a company engaged in the processing of CPO (crude Palm Oil) and PKO (Palm Kernel Oil). Indications of the problems that occur are related to fatigue and complaints of heavy workloads at the loading ramp and sterillizer stations affected by hot temperatures reaching 32°C and high noise around 92dB, equipment that is still manual, and lack of leadership attention. The research was conducted based on problem factors which included equipment, physical work environment, working conditions, and organizational policies, with the aim of providing suggestions for work system improvement designs using the macro ergonomic analysis and design (MEAD) approach. Based on the analysis and processing of the data, it was obtained that the %CVL and energy consumtion were 46,93% and 371,183 Kcal/hour respectively, so they were included in the heavy workload category and needed improvement. Proposed improvement to work regulation policies by adding rest time to workers of 16 minutes/working day with a total rest time of 76 minutes/working day.
