Besides inputting data into computers, user operators in PT.MI seat material division also make RF (Receiving Form), receive goods, put goods and make the settings in the material warehouse, bringing about negative effects such as work accidents and occupational diseases. Based on observations and questionnaires distributed to computer warehouse operators, there are some problems creatinguncomfortable and unnatural working condition that lead to less optimal work productivity. Therefore, it is necessary to improve the work station design by considering human and machine factors.
