This study analyzes the redesign of workstations and the reconfiguration of the layout in a small poultry egg processing enterprise, aiming to increase productivity. It offers an innovative solution to the poultry industry's low technification and productivity issues created by poorly built workstations, which produce delays and inefficient work techniques that bottleneck core processes. The investigation involves four phases. This study's major analysis focused on the problem and its core causes, which helped complete the first step. Second stage involves workstation and method redesign. Thirdly, it aims to improve workstations and layout through the application of tools such as 5S, SLP, and Design Work. The final stage evaluates the solution's effects. The proposed model was simulated using Delmia V5 simulation software, and ergonomic evaluation methods like RULA, REBA and NIOSH, and schematic representation of working processes reduced ergonomic loads. The validation enhanced effort reduction by 22,088.1 Kg-m and expected savings of 10,557.37 PEN in the first year. This study focuses on productivity, extra operational motions, operator physical effort, and ergonomic considerations on work environments. This work provides a model that other poultry enterprises can simply adopt and serves as a foundation for future research.
