Developing a wood lathe machine with speed control and workers' anthropometry to increase the productivity of broom industry

To overcome the economic crisis in current situation, community village of Dawan Klungkung-Bali was encouraging small and medium-sized businesses, including home industry sector, specifically production broom handles that made from leftover wood. The process is quite simple where worker utilized wooden chisels hand grinders to create handle. Even though methods tools are simple, it takes a long time complete one In addition, continued with sanding smoothen product, which caused workers quickly become fatigued due duration bending down pressing gestures. address this issue, wood lathe speed control height adjustment based on anthropometry developed. This study volunteered by ten compared workload both traditional proposed method. Workload determined measuring worker's pulse meter, skeletal muscle complaints observed using Nordic Body Map questionnaire, productivity calculated dividing number produced per hour workload.
