What 生産・品質管理技術者 do
An English description is being prepared. Japanese description:
製造業では、顧客が求める製品は何か、いつ頃どのくらいの数量の生産が必要かといった市場調査・営業情報をもとに経営幹部が生産計画の大枠を決定する。生産・品質管理技術者は専門的な知識と経験に基づき、生産計画の大枠に沿って、短期・中期・長期の生産計画を立案し、生産工程や品質の管理を行う。
生産計画の立案にあたっては、営業・技術・製造・資材・人事など関係部門との間で合議し、人員、製造設備の手配、材料の在庫調整、外部への発注、生産・品質・検査工程の構築、包装物流体制などについて調整する。これに基づいて、安全で品質の良い製品を経済的に作り、顧客の求めに応じて市場に供給するために最適な生産計画を策定し、経営幹部の承認を得て実行に移す。
製造中は、生産が計画通りに進んでいるか、品質は安定しているかなどを管理する。問題がある場合は、関係部門と協力して速かに原因を調べ、対策を立てて計画通りに進むように修正する。
また、製品を顧客に納入した後でクレームが発生した場合には、すばやく対応し、関係部門と協力して解決を図る。

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 生産・品質管理技術者? 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 生産・品質管理技術者
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.
