In the AHP analysis, Top Down with a value of 0.345 as the most priority choice for criteria level, and Ergonomic Committee Effectiveness being the choice with the highest value 0.231 in alternative level. Both strategies being selected in carrying out an ergonomic position strategy Conclusions:In the AHP method, Process to affect working condition has been choose as certainty and important strategy to be implemented.
