Abstract

Tempeh chips are one of the businesses in the field of small or household industries. Tempe sold by small industries is usually in the form of crackers. To process tempeh into chips, it is necessary to cut and slice it so that it can be made thin. There is a problem in slicing tempeh into thin pieces, especially in large quantities of tempeh. Manual cutting will make the work ineffective, take a long time, and the results of many pieces of tempeh are destroyed. Based on this problem, a tempeh cutting tool design research was conducted with an ergonomic approach to increase worker productivity. This research was conducted using a one-short case study method with a pre- and post-test design group that was carried out by observation of the tempeh cutting procedure. Workload as determined by the pulse of rice before and after work; complaints of fatigue and skeletal muscle pain before and after work; and work productivity as determined by a comparison between the work pulse (measured in beats per minute) and the weight of the products produced (in kilograms) while working (minutes). The results of the study concluded that: Testing the tempeh cutting's job efficiency using an ergonomic technique yielded the following results: a). Prior to utilizing the tempeh cutting machine, the average resting pulse rate of tempeh cutting artisans was 69.84 (2.31) bpm; however, their working pulse increased to 105.96 (1.46) bpm, increasing by 37.53 (2.98) bpm, or 54.48%. The average resting pulse rate of tempeh cutting craftsmen after using tempeh cutting machine is 68.43 (±1.71) bpm and the average working pulse is 97.08 (±2.00) bpm and an increase in work pulse is 27.24 (±1.64) bpm or 39.00 %; b). The average difference between musculoskeletal disorders before work and after work before using tempeh cutting machine is 28.90 (±3.31) and the average difference between skeletal muscle disorders before work and after work after using tempeh cutting machine is 16.70 (±4.30). The decrease in the mean of skeletal muscle disorders before using the tempeh cutting machine and after using the roasting machine was significant (p < 0.05) or 42.21%; and c). The result of calculating the work productivity of craftsmen before using the tempeh cutting machine is 94.21±3.09 and an increase after using the tempeh cutting machine is 152.69±3.37 or an increase of 62.07%.
