Home industryyou knowu yellow UD. Tofu Barokah owned by Mr. Komarudin, based on observations, is still not efficient in the production process, especially in the process of cutting tofu. This process must be done manually so it is less efficient in terms of production.
The equipment used to cut the tofu still uses a cutting knife and a wooden ruler by utilizing human power as a production driver, in a day the tofu cutter workers cut approximately 23 tofu boards and a productivity level of 15.8% of course it will take a long time and the cutting results are also not the same as each other. Different employee competencies and physical endurance make the tofu cutting process experience different geometric sizes.Â
Conventional tofu cutting tools are considered less effective, this conventional system requires a large amount of time and labor.
