PSM

Today i'll talk about my psm. PSm stands for project sarjana muda or Final year project. My psm title is portable pineapple peeler: an ergonomics approach. In this topic, i have to do research on how to improve the pineapple peeler that already have in the market in terms of ergonomics. What is ergonomics? well.. from my reading of relevant sources, ergonomics is fitting the work to the worker. meaning that i have to improve the person's position when doing job so that he or she won't feel any disorders when doing the job. Mostly jobs that have repeatating procedure and have long hours of working periods. Almost forgot, y psm focused more on the sme( small and medium entepreneurs).

But, when you look at a pineapple, you will think that it is much more easy to peel it just by knife and hand. Although there is tons of peeler in the market, but none of them fits the needs for an ergonomics purpose. I found one gigantic peeler that is big as a house. It can peel about 100 pineapple per minute. pretty fast huh...? but the cost of the maintainance is slightly costly. that might give you a second thought about buying it. There's also small peeler that is used in the kitchen, but not so economic because it cut to deep just because to make the shape looks like a cylinder.

SO.. It is my task to improve the pineapple peeler..... hehehehe

THE THEORY IS, IF YOU IMPROVE THE ERGONOMICS OF A PRODUCT, THE WORKERS WILL BE HAPPY.....
