Musculoskeletal Disorders (MSDs) complaints in muscles, joints, and soft tissues can be caused by poor posture, repetitive movements, and excessive physical load. In the wet cake-making industry, workers often sit or stand for long periods, bend, and perform monotonous hand movements, which increases the risk of MSDs. The impact includes decreased work comfort, productivity, and quality of life. This study aims to assess the ergonomic risk level in wet cake-making workers and identify the relationship between work activities and MSD complaints. The method used is descriptive quantitative research with a cross-sectional design, involving 45 workers at Kue X Silaberanti. Ergonomic risk was assessed using the REBA method, while MSD complaints were measured using the Nordic Body Map questionnaire. The results show that in the mixing process, 58.8% of workers experienced a very high risk of MSDs. In the molding and baking processes, 52.9% and 68.8% of workers, respectively, were at high risk. The most frequent complaints were pain in the back, neck, shoulders, arms, and wrists due to poor posture and repetitive movements. To reduce the risk of MSDs, workers need to improve their posture, use ergonomic aids, rotate tasks, and undergo training in safe working techniques.

Since the implementation of the ASEAN Economic Community (AEC) at the end of 2015, all economic actors—including SMEs and microenterprises—are expected to improve and adapt in order to enhance the quality of both goods and services. Failure to do so may result in Indonesia becoming a "soft target" market for other ASEAN countries, given its status as the most populous country in the region with over 270 million people. SMEs and microenterprises, which represent the embodiment of people-based economic democracy, would be particularly vulnerable if goods and services from various ASEAN countries continue to flood the Indonesian market. Recognizing this situation, empowering SMEs and microenterprises is not only necessary but inevitable to help the nation discover its identity through the development of comparative and competitive advantages. This activity began by identifying existing problems, followed by determining suitable solutions. The method used involves training and mentoring.The outcome of this initiative is the improved capability of the traditional cake microenterprise to optimize its sales by using locally sourced raw materials.
