Abstract: AUSTRIA, ROLDAN V., BERNARDINO, MIKKO JAYVEE D., FLORESE, CAESAR RYAN CHRISTOPHER B. and MAGLUNOB, MICHAEL ANGELO D. Development of Ergonomically Designed Coffee Sorting Table. Undergraduate Thesis. Bachelor of Science in Industrial Engineering. Cavite State University, Indang, Cavite. March 2019, Adviser: Engr. Gerry M. Castillo. The study was conducted from August 2018 to March 2019 in different coffee processing companies in Cavite to develop an ergonomically designed coffee sorting table. Specifically, it aimed to: 1. determine the problems encountered by the workers while using the existing coffee sorting workstation; 2. design and develop an ergonomically designed coffee sorting table; 3. determine the possible features that can be added to the developed coffee sorting table design; and 4. evaluate the coffee sorting table design in terms of functionality, aesthetics, durability and safety. Developmental research was used in the study. Company observations, interviews, use of survey questionnaires, and measuring of worker's body parts were done to gather pertinent data. Total population sizes of 15 respondents were the participants of the study. It was found out that the problems encountered by workers were back, neck and shoulder discomforts. A rapid upper limb assessment (RULA) was conducted and according to the result; further investigation should be conducted and change may be needed. The anthropometric data of each respondent were obtained. Dimensions were established and the prototype was designed according to the workers' requirements. The features included to the design of the prototype were adjustable height, automated initial sorting process, adjustable mesh inclination, simple machine mechanism and edge bathers. The developed ergonomically designed coffee sorting table prototype was assessed using evaluation sheet provided. The prototype obtained excellent marks in terms of functionality, aesthetics, durability and safety.

The study was conducted from August 2018 to March 2019 in different coffee processing
companies in Cavite to develop an ergonomically designed coffee sorting table. Specifically, it
aimed to: 1. determine the problems encountered by the workers while using the existing coffee
sorting workstation; 2. design and develop an ergonomically designed coffee sorting table; 3.
determine the possible features that can be added to the developed coffee sorting table design;
and 4. evaluate the coffee sorting table design in terms of functionality, aesthetics, durability and
safety. Developmental research was used in the study. Company observations, interviews, use
of survey questionnaires, and measuring of worker's body parts were done to gather pertinent
data. Total population sizes of 15 respondents were the participants of the study. It was found
out that the problems encountered by workers were back, neck and shoulder discomforts.
A rapid upper limb assessment (RULA) was conducted and according to the result;
further investigation should be conducted and change may be needed. The anthropometric data
of each respondent were obtained. Dimensions were established and the prototype was
designed according to the workers' requirements. The features included to the design of the
prototype were adjustable height, automated initial sorting process, adjustable mesh inclination,
simple machine mechanism and edge bathers. The developed ergonomically designed coffee
sorting table prototype was assessed using evaluation sheet provided. The prototype obtained
excellent marks in terms of functionality, aesthetics, durability and safety.
