Workload Analysis on Production Planning Control Division Pressure Part Using Full Time Equivalent Method and NASA TLX at PT ABC

Abstract

PT ABC is a company engaged in steel manufacture technical assistance. The company produces with a make to order system. The production process for each order can take about 1-3 months. Especially for production in the pressure part can spend a long time due to the shape of the product that has a large enough volume. This causes the production planning control (PPC) employees to be able to control and make an optimal schedule so that the production process runs according to plan. Optimal performance of each employee will certainly be achieved if the workload received by each employee is evenly distributed so that workload measurement is needed to be able to find out whether the workload received by each employee is evenly distributed or not. Workload measurement can be done using the full time equivalent (FTE) and NASA-TLX methods. Workload measurements were carried out with 7 PPC employees in the pressure part. The results of workload measurements using the FTE method obtained an average FTE index value of 1.69 (overload) and the results of workload measurements using the NASA-TLX method obtained an average WWL value of 76.19 (high). Based on the results of workload measurements on PPC employees in the pressure part, it is necessary to add employees to equalize the workload of 3 employees so that the number of employees in the PPC pressure part becomes 10 employees and the average FTE index value to 1.18 (normal).
