Workers felt tired due to age, level of pattern difficulty, type of glove material and age of machines so that many employees experienced fatigue which resulted in a decrease in work productivity. The aim of this research is to find out how high or large the mental load faced by workers at CV. Cahaya Setia Mulia using the NASA-TLX method. In this research, the population is the tailors at CV.
