Industry & Occupation
Classification
- Major : Manufacturing, Repair, Painting, and Drafting Occupations
- Middle : Machine Assembly Workers
- Minor : Automobile Assembly Workers
Summary
Engages in manufacturing automotive exhaust system parts such as mufflers, involving processes like metal pressing, bending, welding, assembly, and inspection as a technical job.
Description
Automotive muffler manufacturing workers produce finished products by pressing and bending muffler pipes and chambers, followed by welding and assembly. Work is performed based on drawings, operating machine tools such as metal presses, pipe benders, and robotic welding machines. After welding, leak tests and dimensional inspections are conducted to ensure products meet quality standards before shipment from the production line. The work environment in factories involves noise and heat, with frequent standing work and handling of heavy parts, requiring attention to safety and hygiene.
Future Outlook
With the advancement of electrification, demand for exhaust systems in fully electric vehicles is expected to decline, but demand will continue for hybrid vehicle parts, development and manufacturing of new materials and high-efficiency exhaust systems, and skills in manufacturing process automation. There is also a need for personnel capable of handling enhanced quality control and traceability.
