The design of a leather cut tool for the production of skin crackers using the quality function deployment (QFD) method - A case study.

UD Sabeena's business has a simple production process. The process of cutting the skin causes musculoskeletal disorders of workers such as back pain, fatigue, and others. Musculoskeletal disorders result in decreased productivity. SNQ is used to identify, analyze, and calculate the percentage of complaints to workers. From SNQ obtained complaints on the buttocks 100%, waist, back and right hand 92%, upper right arm and left shoulder 83%, upper left arm, right and left forearm 75%, this is because the tools used require workers to bend, bend feet and standing repeatedly for more than 8 hours/day. Suggestions for cutting leather tools based on the results of anthropometric measurements of workers. The length and width of the table are based on the dimensions of the reach of the hand with an average of the 50th percentile where the width of the hand table is 76 cm. Meanwhile, the height of the table is based on the dimensions of standing elbow height where the average is the 50th percentile so that the height of the table is 90 cm. It is proposed to redesign the leather cutting tool using the QFD method which considers the needs and desires of consumers into a product design including a rectangular stainless steel leather cutter with a size of 76 x 76 cm, blue color, has a blade of 72 cm following the size of the table with a vertical position and horizontal with a density of 1 cm, the height of the table leg is 86 cm, and there is foam on the handle.
