Description
Summary:This report is prepared to explain the result of study on Redesign of a Cradle for Aircraft Maintenance using Ergonomics Analysis and Quality Function Deployment (QFD). The focused company for this study is CTRM Aviation Sdn Bhd, Melaka. This is a study of a cradle that been used to help the workers do the job under valley side on aircraft. It focused on assessing the working posture of workers while they performing composite repair. The objective of the study is to improve working posture by using a cradle while performing the aircraft maintenance. To achieve the objective, the integration of Quality Function Deployment (QFD) and Ergonomic Analysis were adopted to ensure the improved design of cradle able to meet worker’s requirement and provides safe working posture. The working posture was analyzed by using RULA analysis. Based on the analysis of the working posture, the existing cradle provides 4 score for left worker’s body while 5 score for right worker’s body. Beside that, from the improvement done on the cradle the results are 3 score for left and right worker’s body. The collected data are analyzed and been compared to the current design in order to get the best proposing design to reduce the awkward working posture. For the conclusion, is recommended to use the proposed design of cradle than existing cradle because it is prepared the worker’s for safe working posture while performing aircraft maintenance.
