What 合板製造 do
An English description is being prepared. Japanese description:
合板は薄くても丈夫で弾性に富み、乾燥にも強く、しかも安価であるため、住宅、家具・建具、梱包、展示装飾など広い分野で用いられている。一般にはベニヤ板、プライウッドと呼ばれている。
合板製造は一般的に、原木から単板を作り、乾燥させて仕組むこと、仕組単板に接着剤を塗布して貼り合わせ、これを熱圧乾燥させること、これを裁断、表面処理して仕上げることの３工程があり、これらの工程が流れ作業で行われている。工程によって仕事の内容が異なり、原木係、単板製作係、接着剤調整係、仕上げ係に分かれている。
合板の製造では、まず、原木係が原木の種類や性質を見て、合板に適するかどうかを判断し、表板用、裏板用、心材用に分類する。次に、単板製作係が原木の種類に応じて切削条件を設定し、ロータリーレース機に原木を取り付けて回転させ、刃をあてて単板（薄い板）にむく。単板をドライヤーに送って乾燥させ、決められた寸法に切ったうえで、表板、裏板、心板を組み合わせる調板（ちょうはん）作業を行う。組み合わせた単板に、接着剤調整係が調整した接着剤を塗り冷圧し、ホットプレス機にかけて熱と圧力を加え、板と板を接着する。最後に、仕上げ係が合板の角度を正しく切断し、研磨等の表面仕上げを行う。
通常、合板の工程は仕上げまでであるが、特殊合板の場合はさらに印刷やオーバーレイ、塗装などの二次加工を施して完成させる。

Today ¥4.34M → in 3 years ¥4.56M → in 5 years ¥4.71M → in 10 years ¥5.11M (10-year range ¥4.39M–¥5.93M). The model assumes pay growth of +1.6% per year.
What drives the annual growth rate
Projected pay = current pay × (1 + annual growth)^years. The annual growth rate starts from a base wage-growth rate and adds or subtracts labor demand (the job-openings-to-applicants ratio), wage momentum and AI replacement risk for each occupation. Projections are not guarantees. How it is calculated →

Will AI replace 合板製造? AI replacement risk
How AI is changing this job
A written analysis for this occupation is being prepared.
AI replacement risk compares the parts of a job that are easy to hand to AI or software (processing information, documentation, repetitive computer work) with the parts that are hard to automate (physical work, working closely with people, judgment in unpredictable settings), using the MHLW job tag survey on work activities, work context, skills and knowledge. The result is a relative position among all occupations in the country, scaled to 0–100%. Methodology →
Labor demand for 合板製造
A ratio above 1.0 means there are more job openings than applicants (a labor shortage). The 5- and 10-year figures are estimates from the openings ratio, wage momentum and AI replacement risk.

Guidance from job tag (Japanese)
関連資格として公益社団法人 日本木材加工技術協会が認定する「木材接着士」、「木材乾燥士」、「木材切削士」などがある。合板工場がＪＡＳ（日本農林規格）承認工場の認定申請をする際、接着士、乾燥士、切削士の資格者の有無が認定の参考要件になっている。
合板製造の仕事はほとんどが立ち作業で、その上、手作業もあるため、体力が必要である。また、生産工程が流れ作業であるため、工程間のつながりを緊密にする必要があり、組作業も多いことから、協調性が求められる。
