Abstract

Most small and medium-sized aluminum casting industries of wok products are still
using simple work facilities. The work facilities such as the wok molder which is operated
manually and some supporting facilities such as the water container, the temporary place for the
end product, the wooden molder stamper, the brush, and the place for the diluted clay liquid are
still placed irregularly and do not suit to the operators’ body dimension. A work tool that does not
suit the user will cause an unnatural work posture and can cause fatigue and uncomfortable
feeling, and reduce work efficiency. Therefore, an experimental research needs to be conducted to
improve the work comfort and productivity by using treatment by subject design. The research
sample was 15 wok molders. There were two treatments given to the sample; molding wok using
the former work facilities (P0) and molding wok using the new or improved work facilities (P1). The
work comfort was measured using three questionnaires; fatigue in general questionnaire,
musculoskeletal complaints questionnaire, and comfort in the general questionnaire. The work
productivity was measured based on the total of the produced wok divided by the workload and
the work time. The statistical analysis on significant difference results of the processed data
before and after the work facilities improvement (P0 and P1) were calculated using Paired Sample
t-Test on the significance level of  = 5%. The research results showed that there happened
32.71% decrease of fatigue, 25.71% decrease of musculoskeletal complaints, 34.91% increase of
comfort in general, and 31.64% increase of work productivity.
