  • In the tofu home industry, the cutting process is only done by 2 workers with a long cutting process and still a manual process that is human labor using a knife and a wooden ruler used for the measurement of tofu. While the position of the worker in the cutting process is standing and bending. By using a knife and a wooden ruler the time required is 20 seconds for cutting one mold. Tofu production per day produces 550 to 770 molds so the total time needed is around 3 hours to 4.5 hours. In the results of the Nordic Body Map questionnaire that has been given there are complaints that occur in the operator section of 45% cutting, namely on the neck, right shoulder, back, left shoulder, right elbow, waist, left leg, on the boiling part of filtering settling and printing 35%. Namely on the left elbow, right elbow, waist. In the washing part, soaking and grinding 20%. Namely on the right shoulder, left shoulder. If this condition is still allowed to take place every day, it will result in fatigue of the muscles of the workers which can result in muscolosceletals injuries to the workers. In this study, the highest percentage is prioritized for improvement, so it is necessary to improve the production process system in tofu cutting to increase the efficiency of cutting time and reduce muscolosceletals injuries.
