Summary
Miso manufacturing equipment operators operate various equipment used in the production of miso, a fermented food, and manage the production process and quality.
Description
Miso manufacturing equipment operators load raw materials such as soybeans, rice koji, and salt, operate and monitor production equipment such as stirrers, fermentation tanks, heat sterilization devices, and filling/packaging machines to manufacture miso. They accurately manage temperature, humidity, and fermentation time for each process, perform quality inspections and record-keeping on product samples, and conduct machine cleaning and disinfection (CIP). In case of equipment malfunctions, they provide initial responses and coordinate with maintenance staff, while carrying out work in compliance with safety and hygiene standards and HACCP.
