Summary
Specialized profession responsible for processes from preparing noodle dough to forming, rapid freezing, and packaging, thoroughly managing hygiene to produce frozen noodles.

They also handle machine operation, inspection, and simple maintenance to improve production line efficiency and respond to machine troubles.
