Abstract

An operator's productivity should be affected by the conditions of the work station where the operators are carrying out their activities. The conditions of the work station or good work environment for an operator are effective, comfortable, safe, healthy and efficient. This paper analyze the Novel Ergonomic Postural Assessment Method application in the Indonesia creative industry centers in Bandung. Bad operator work postures carried out every day cause a high risk of musculoskeletal disorders for the operators in the creative industry centers in Indonesia. Thus, the research problems can be formulated as: How is the application of the Novel Ergonomic Postural Assessment Method (NERPA) in the center of creative industries in Indonesia. Based on the constraints of the problem, each new design in four creative centers in Bandung was conducted. In the doll making, the first posture is designing doll pattern station which is a priority for improvement by designing a table to reduce the level of musculoskeletal risk for its workers. The fourth body posture in shoe-making is a priority to be improved by making a design tool to cut the footwear to reduce the level of musculoskeletal risk. Knitted clothing center having level of musculoskeletal risk are priority improvements, namely in the first posture because the operator works in long standing state. Tofu making center also has high level of musculoskeletal risk, namely in the molding tofu station in posture 5.
