Profitability Improvement for a Distributor Company with Modified Work Posture and Workflow Using REBA and Modelling Simulation

Abstract

CV. XYZ is a distributor company engaged in the automotive sector for bearing products and spare parts. This study aims to improve the worker posture and system workflow at CV. XYZ, which will be shown and explained, determine and calculate the REBA score of a work process, continued by making activity cycle diagrams, causal loop diagrams, flow diagrams, performing simulations for each scenario, comparing average productivity and profitability between scenarios, conclusions and suggestions for profitability improvement. Based on the simulation, the best scenario is scenario 4, which is a work posture using a table and a proposed workflow. Therefore, the workers at CV. XYZ is recommended to use a table and use the workflow that has been proposed to obtain higher profitability.
