Abstract:
The objective of this research aims to study the risk factors that affect the occurrence of accidents during the transportation of automotive goods and to find preventive measures for accidents that may occur during the operation of moving automotive goods from the Receiving area to the Pre-loading area. The research applied the Failure Modes and Effects Analysis (FMEA) technique. The researcher collected past problems and used a Cause and Effect Diagram to analyze and identify risk factors. Additionally, the FMEA technique was used to prioritize the problems using the Risk Priority Number (RPN) index. Subsequently, measures to reduce risk factors were identified to minimize work-related accidents. The research results showed that there are three main risk factors: procedural risk factors, operational risk factors, and environmental risk factors. These risk factors were then analyzed to find the RPN. Preventive measures were also implemented to address these risk factors. The risk factor with the most significant decrease in RPN was the heat from sunlight, as work involved moving goods outdoors for extended periods. The RPN before improvement was 27.6 points, and after improvement, it was 12.2 points, a decrease of 15.4 points. This indicates that environmental risk factors can be effectively mitigated through clear preventive or corrective measures, thereby preventing accidents during goods transportation.
