Meja putar elektrik ergonomis kurangi beban fisik, tingkatkan kenyamanan kerja & produksi hingga 49,79%. Model pemberdayaan UMKM.

Abstract

UMKM Gerabah Ibu Tatik di Mayong Jepara menghadapi kendala produktivitas akibat penggunaan meja putar gerabah manual yang menyebabkan ketidaknyamanan postur kerja dan hasil produksi yang kurang maksimal. Program Pengabdian kepada Masyarakat ini bertujuan untuk meningkatkan produktivitas dan kenyamanan kerja melalui penerapan meja putar gerabah elektrik berbasis ergonomi. Metode yang digunakan meliputi analisis situasi mitra, penyuluhan postur kerja dengan metode REBA, pelatihan penggunaan alat, serta evaluasi pre-test dan post-test. Hasil evaluasi menunjukkan peningkatan efisiensi produksi sebesar 33,41% dan produktivitas sebesar 49,79%. Meja putar gerabah elektrik ergonomis ini mampu mengurangi beban fisik, meningkatkan kenyamanan kerja, serta memberikan hasil produksi yang lebih meningkat. Intervensi ini tidak hanya meningkatkan aspek produksi, tetapi juga mendorong penerapan ergonomi secara praktis di lingkungan kerja UMKM. Temuan ini diharapkan menjadi model solusi pemberdayaan UMKM berbasis teknologi tepat guna dan dengan pendekatan ergonomi.

Review

This paper presents a highly relevant intervention addressing a common challenge faced by Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (UMKM) in traditional craft sectors. The abstract clearly articulates the problem: reliance on manual pottery wheels at UMKM Gerabah Ibu Tatik leading to ergonomic issues such as uncomfortable working postures and suboptimal productivity. The proposed solution, the implementation of an ergonomic electric pottery wheel, directly aims to mitigate these issues by enhancing both worker comfort and overall output, positioning itself as a practical and necessary upgrade for sustainable craftsmanship. The methodology adopted is commendably structured, encompassing a thorough situation analysis, ergonomic education using the REBA method, hands-on training, and a robust pre-test and post-test evaluation. The reported results are particularly compelling, showcasing a substantial increase in production efficiency by 33.41% and an impressive rise in overall productivity by 49.79%. Beyond these quantitative gains, the intervention successfully reduced physical burden on workers, significantly enhanced their comfort, and contributed to better production quality, thereby demonstrating a comprehensive positive impact on both human factors and operational outcomes. The work's strength lies in its practical application of appropriate technology coupled with sound ergonomic principles within a real-world UMKM setting. This intervention serves as an excellent model for how targeted, user-centric solutions can not only optimize production processes but also fundamentally improve the working conditions and well-being of artisans. The paper's assertion that this can be a model for UMKM empowerment through technology and ergonomics is well-supported by its findings, making it a valuable contribution to the fields of community development, industrial ergonomics, and technology transfer in small-scale industries.
