In this study, taho mixer was designed to address the ergonomic needs and potential occupational hazards of mixing the Oho. The purpose of this is to lessen risk factors in the workplace experienced by the lulu) makers with the present equipment. Developing the design project may increase efficiency and productivity in taho production. The researchers used the developmental and descriptive type of research in this study. The researchers also used Define, Measure, Analysis, Design, and Verify (DMADV) methodology to analyse the data gathered for the development process.
Based on the interviews and answered questionnaire, the factors that affect the comfortability of the taho makers are the following: headache, muscle pain, fatigue, numbness and tingling in the arms, weakness of the arms and difficulty in lifting and gripping. The researchers judged the worker's RULA scoring while performing manual taho mixing. Based on the evaluation of the respondents, the posture of the workers are in a poor position with a risk of injury from their work posture, the reasons for this need to be further investigated and changed soon to prevent injury. The researchers developed an ergonomically designed taho mixer. The mixer has a stainless steel wire whip, a mixer holder, a beater height adjustment and a timing belt. The researchers used DC motor for the energy of the mixer. Based on the evaluations, the developed prototype was "very good" in terms of functionality, aesthetic, durability and safety. While in terms of workability was " food". Overall the proposed ergonomically designed mixer for /olio production was -very good". Based on the results of the study, the researchers recommended some ideas for the improvement of the mixer and taho production. Also they provided some recommendations about the safety and facility improvement for the workers.
