Identification of environmental ergonomics control system for Indonesian SMEs

This paper identified the environmental ergonomics control system for Indonesian SMEs (Small Medium-sized Enterprises). The system was defined that workstation environment could be controlled using worker workload and workstation temperature difference. The research objectives were: 1) To analyze the relationship between workstation temperature difference and workload; 2) To identify the environmental ergonomics control system for Indonesian SMEs. 380 data set of heart rate, indoor temperature and temperature set points were collected from Indonesian SMEs. Workloads were classified based on heart rate. Temperature difference were determined using set point temperature (Before working) and indoor temperature (After working). Temperature difference were categorized to 14 quadrants. Actors of system were identified. Research result indicated that temperature difference generated various workload. System identification was expected to support further development of environmental ergonomics control.
