Abstract

ThisThe increasing production demand at UKM Gudang Tas has led to a higher workload for operators, prompting the company to implement overtime and reduce workers' break time. These conditions have resulted in increased work errors, higher defect rates, and decreased productivity. This study aims to analyze the operators' workload using the full time equivalent  method and develop work system improvement proposals using the macroergonomic analysis and design  approach. Data were collected through observations, work time measurements, interviews, and documentation. The FTE analysis indicated that several workstations were categorized as overload. The MEAD analysis identified the main work system variances contributing to the high workload, including work organization, work methods, and material handling. Based on these findings, several improvement proposals were developed, including job redistribution, work procedure standardization, material handling improvement, layout redesign, and operator training. These proposed improvements are expected to balance the operators' workload and enhance the company's productivity
