Design of work facilities for transtibial people in sewing machine stations using TRIZ Method

Abstract

A person with physical disability is someone who cannot carry out an activity caused by a physical condition or a biological system. Data from SAKERNAS states that the rate of disability in 2017 reached 16.81% with a total disabled workforce of 11, 224, 673. BBRSPDF Prof. Dr. Soeharso Surakarta is the implementing unit for empowering persons with physical disabilities, where empowerment developed is sewing skills. The empowerment of sewing machines in the garment industry is generally designed to be able to be run for physically normal workers, this is different if a person has a transtibial disability. The operation of a sewing machine that previously used the sole of the sewing machine was changed to the use of the knee. This problem can be overcome by making special work facilities. The design of work facilities for persons with transitional disabilities needs to be adjusted between needs and abilities through a participatory approach. The design of the sewing machine pedal motor also contradicts technical problems, due to differences in the use of limb functions. This problem can be solved using the TRIZ method to obtain a design that fits the user's needs.
