This is very related to workers who is repeat the same tasks and depending on manual handling processes. Posture analysis evaluations using the Rapid Upper Limb Assessment (RULA) and Rapid Entire Body Assessment (REBA) tools have been used to analyse the working postures of workers at poultry feed manufacturing industry. The aim of this study was to identify workers’ risks of working posture problems, and to propose a standard of procedure to reduce MSDs and CTDs. The assessment was conducted using RULA and REBA worksheets. Three selected workers are divided into three different tasks. From the analysis had been done, the score obtain for RULA method is 7, 6 and 7 for Workers 1, Workers 2 and Workers 3 respectively. Meanwhile for REBA method, the score is 12, 6 and 5 for workers respectively. It is shows that the working postures is in high-risk, which need to be considered.  It is expected that this research will help by proposing proper SOP and work position for reducing the risk of WMSDs in industry. In addition, this research is expected to increase the awareness regarding on the good working postures among workers.","PeriodicalId":21574,"journal":{"name":"Science Proceedings Series","volume":"66 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-04-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"81525719","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Natural disasters across the regions such as flooding, earthquakes, droughts etc. have caused damages to life as a result of which numerous researches have been conducted to assist in reducing the phenomenon. Consequently, therefore, this study considered using Auto-Regressive Integrated Moving Average (ARIMA) model in forecasting drought using Standardized Precipitation Index (SPI) as a forecasting tool which was used to measure and classify drought. The models are developed to forecast the SPI series. Results indicated the forecasting ability of the ARIMA models which increases as the timescales. The study is aimed at using ARIMA method for modeling SPI data series. The studies used data set made up of 624 months, obtained from 1954 to 2008. In the analysis only SPI3 series was non-seasonal while others have seasonality and Seasonal ARIMA was carried out, SPI12 was significant compared with the forecasting accuracy alongside the diagnostic checking having a minimum error of RMSE and MAE in both testing and training phases. The research contributes to the discovering of feasible forecasting of drought and demonstrates that the established model is good and appropriate for forecasting drought.","PeriodicalId":21574,"journal":{"name":"Science Proceedings Series","volume":"327 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-04-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"76365404","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The qualities of the peanuts are divide into two levels of quality specifically, first grade quality and medium grade quality. The large amount of production that is carried out every day affected the employee’s mental pressure on both the packaging quality process. The purpose of this research is to measure the level of mental workloads of employees, knowing which type of work that the mental workloads level is highest, knowing the work categories that have higher mental workload, knowing which indicators that affect the level of mental workloads of employees, and to recommend solutions in forms of improvements to reduce employee mental workloads using NASA - TLX method. The results of this research show that the mental workloads experienced by employees of crunchy peanuts production in both first grade and medium grade packaging sections are having high mental workloads. Work that has the highest mental workloads on both packaging first grade quality and medium grade quality is the transit process with a score of 79.2. A work group with a higher mental burden is in packaging first grade quality with a score of 60.2. The indicator that most influences the level of a mental workloads of employees of crunchy peanuts production in packaging first grade section is the effort indicator (EF) with a score of 17.2, followed with the mental demand indicator (MD) with a score of 16.4 in the medium grade packaging section. Recommendations for improvements that can made to reduce the mental workloads of employees are to increase the number of employees especially in the transit section, provide safety equipment such as free masks, create reward systems and give out promotions to the employees with excellent work performances.","PeriodicalId":21574,"journal":{"name":"Science Proceedings Series","volume":"9 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-04-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"75720792","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
