Noor Effendy Mat Rejab Preliminary design of portable pineapple peeler : an ergonomics approach / Noor Effendy Bin Mat Rejab Kuantan, Pahang : UMP , 2009 xv, 96 p. : ill. (some col.) ; 30 cm. + 1 computer disc Project paper (Bachelor of Mechanical Engineering) -- Universiti Malaysia Pahang - 2009 This study is about designing a pineapple peeler using ergonomics technique in order to avoid or minimize the chance of developing Musculoskeletal Disorders (MSD) among pineapple peeler workers. MSD happens due to the product or tools that is not ergonomics. MSD starts to develop when a workers is doing a job repeatedly. Working tools that is not ergonomics combining with the repeated movement will results in MSD to develop and resulting pain in a long term period. There is two objectives for this study. The first objectives of this study is to design a portable pineapple peeler with ergonomics approach using Solidworks. The preliminary design will be design using Solidworks. The second objectives is to simulate the designed pineapple peeler using Algor. This is to analyze the for affecting the peeler when it is motion. In gathering the data needed for this study, questionnaire will be used to obtain information from the workers about the problems that they face when using their working tools. All the questions asked will be related to ergonomics concepts. Then the answers will be analyzed so that it will be used to design a pineapple peeler that have less problems against the workers from ergonomics point of view. The design stage will take two stages. The first one is based on literature review and the second stage will be based on the answers from the questionnaire. Basically the first design will be refined and improved in the second stage. The improve design will be analyzed using Algor to evaluate the force distribution on the critical part of the pineapple peeler when it is used by the workers. The force distribution will affect the human body and resulting in MSD. The usage of ergonomics in producing a product will helps to save life. The MSD will effect people in long term period and before they know it, it has gotten worst. Thus, the improved design of the pineapple peeler will minimize and reduce the risk of having MSD among pineapple peeler workers.
