title: Improvement of working posture increases productivity of roof tile home industry workers at Darmasaba Village, Badung Regency.
abstract: In the production process of the roof tile home industry in Darmasaba Village, Badung Regency, bad working postures such as bending and squatting positions were observed. It caused an inefficient low speed of work as a consequence. Therefore, an intervention study in forms of a demo-plot was carried out, introducing the correct working posture and working method. The process of plating clay material is done on the desk in a standing position and can be performed continuously, without waiting for any other works. By so doing, it was found that productivity of workers increased 20% per day.
