Abstract
Work position is one aspect that must be considered in work. An uncomfortable work position will quickly cause fatigue and can reduce productivity. At the Jatibarang Brebes PG Finishing Station, there is a work position that does not pay attention to ergonomic aspects, namely the trolley operator carries sugar to the scale using a single wheel trolley. so that it will cause fatigue and decreased productivity. The research method used is the trolley operator anthropometry measurement, namely standing elbow height and hand grip diameter. Whereas production can be done by comparing output before and after using ergonomic trolleys. The results of this study produce ergonomic trolleys with trolley height 101.79 cm, hand hand diameter 3.81 cm, trolley width 50 cm and trolley length 70 cm. Productivity generated after the ergonomic trolley application is 25.2%
