Classification
Summary
Noodle making machine workers operate, adjust, and maintain machines that produce noodles, supporting stable production as manufacturing workers.
Description
Noodle making machine workers operate, set up, and monitor various machines for manufacturing noodles (such as hydration mixers, rollers, cutters, and dryers). They feed raw materials and adjust machine temperature and speed to maintain consistent dough quality, noodle thickness, and hardness. If abnormalities occur during production line operation, they quickly identify the cause, stop and restart the machine, or perform cleaning and simple repairs. They create production records to report production quantities and defect rates, and implement hygiene management and periodic inspections and maintenance. Coordination within the team and with line managers is also necessary. The job involves standing work and handling heavy objects, with physical demands. Even as automation and labor-saving measures advance, skills in machine maintenance and troubleshooting are emphasized.
Future Outlook
Stable demand is expected due to labor shortages from population decline. As automation and labor-saving technologies advance, demand for personnel with machine maintenance and IT skills will increase.
