What 工場労務作業員 do
An English description is being prepared. Japanese description:
様々な製品や部品・商品を製作・製造する工場内で、製造業務に付随する作業、あるいは必ずしも付随しない構内の清掃等の作業を行う。作業は、毎日定型的に決まった作業を行う場合、非定型でそのつど上司の指示等により作業する場合、その両方が混在する場合と職場によって様々である。
工場内の作業のうち原材料・商品の搬入では、運び込み、段ボール開封、倉庫等所定の場所への格納等を行う。製品・商品の搬出では、出荷、コンテナ詰め、輸送車両への積み込み等を行う。台車や資格があればフォークリフトを使用して作業する場合もある。搬入、搬出に伴い運び込んだ倉庫内の清掃、棚の整理整頓を行う場合もある。必要に応じ、製造作業現場への荷物運びも行う。
工場内外の清掃の仕事をすることもある。工場内のゴミや廃棄物の回収・分別、プレス作業も行う。食品製造工場等では、工場内の清掃とともに、製造機械、製造機器の清掃、洗浄等も毎日行う。構内清掃は通常モップ、掃除機等を使用した作業が多いが、機械、機器等の洗浄では高圧洗浄機を使用する職場もある。
いずれにしても工場の形態、規模等により仕事内容は千差万別である。
仕事を一日の流れの例でみると、出勤後に作業服に着替え原材料の搬入を行い、所定の場所に運び込みを行う。原材料を入れている倉庫等の整理整頓も必要に応じ行う。一連の作業が終了すると、工場内の所定の場所の清掃を開始する。清掃と併せて、ゴミの分別、回収等も行う。作業が終了した製造機械等の清掃を行う。作業上、判断に迷うことは、適宜担当者に確認し対応を図る。その日の作業が終了すれば、日報を作成し上司等に報告の上、着替えを済ませて退社する。

What drives the annual growth rate
Projected pay = current pay × (1 + annual growth)^years.

Projections are not guarantees. How it is calculated →

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 →
