| RULA (Rapid Upper Limb Assessment )is used to evaluate working posture for sedentary and static jobs. RULA focuses on upper limb evaluation. RULA is developed in 1993 by McAtamney and Corlett. The goal of this research is designing and creating working posture evaluation software based on RULA method. By using this software, it is expected that evaluation of working posture is much easier than manual evaluation. Software is designed to accommodate users who has a picture or a video and will to use it as a evaluation object. Software can also be used for daily observations. One of Software Development Life Cycle method, waterfall method, is used in designing and creating working posture evaluation software based on RULA method. Waterfall method consists of several phases such as requirement, design, implementation, verification and maintenance. This software has been tested to 20 respondents. Respondents have to evaluate several working posture with this software. Meanwhile, respondent evaluating several working posture, she/he was assessed by researcher. Respondent appraisal is divided into two group, objective and subjective appraisal. Objective appraisal is used to assess respondent ability in using this software. Subjective appraisal is used by respondent to assess the software in terms of function, system and display. Respondent is asked to fill preference sheet as a Subjective appraisal. Objective appraisal concludes that software is easy to use since the respondent score is good. According to the respondent, software is easy to use. It can be concluded that this software is easy to use and satisfy user needs. |
