Abstract

Basically, to stand is more tiring than to sit. Standing position such as in plastic glass packaging is considered to be physically tiring activity because it is monotonous and done repeatedly for 7 hours a day, thus may result in leg muscle strain, pain, fatigue, and health problem. In this study, combining sitting and standing position were conducted to find out operators’ fatigue level and packaging speed in plastic glass packaging process. The experiment of combining the sitting and standing position was given to 10 packaging operators who had been working in the industry of plastic glass packaging. They were between 21 – 46 year-old with more than 1 year working experience. The test was done by distributing the questionnaires containing 17 questions known as Instrument of Fatigue Measurement (IFM) to respondents to find out whether they are tired from working and to measure their packaging speed by using stopwatch for each standing position while working. This experiment was divided into Model X and Y. Model X is work position model with achievement of 40 boxes in each variation, while model Y achieved 80 boxes in each variation. From Anova test analysis, the result showed that there was significant influence between variations of Model X towards the operators’ fatigue level. Model Y variation also showed significant different influence on the operators. The result of t test analysis on packaging speed showed that there was difference between Model X-3 and X-4 while Model Y-3 and Y-4 to packaging speed of each operator. From the results, it can be concluded that combining sitting and standing position to the operator and determining output amount influence operators’ fatigue level and packaging speed. The best result of the 2 position combinations given is the X model, good for time of packaging speed and more stable fatigue rates.
