Industry & Occupation
Classification
- Major : Manufacturing, Repair, Painting, and Drafting Occupations
- Middle : Machine Assembly Workers
- Minor : Automobile Assembly Workers
Summary
Manufacturing work involving assembling parts such as bus chassis, body, and engine, and performing tasks like welding, bolt tightening, and wiring. Involves line work progressing in cooperation with multiple people.
Description
Bus assemblers attach powertrain components such as engines, transmissions, and suspensions to the chassis that forms the skeleton of the bus body, then sequentially assemble body panels, doors, seats, wiring, and more. They handle a wide range of tasks including welding, bolt tightening, bonding, electrical wiring, and quality inspection, producing completed vehicles that meet safety and quality standards on the assembly line. Work procedures are standardized in manuals, but they also investigate causes, adjust, and improve when defects occur.
Future Outlook
While partial automation of manufacturing and robot introduction progress, diverse assembly technologies are required for increasingly sophisticated and electrified vehicles. Balancing labor reduction and high value-added production is a challenge.
