Industry & Occupation
Classification
Summary
This occupation conducts physical property tests and chemical analyses on synthetic fibers to verify whether products meet quality standards.
Description
Synthetic fiber inspection workers collect samples on production lines or in laboratories and perform physical and chemical tests based on JIS standards. Main tests include tensile tests, abrasion tests, color fastness tests, dimensional stability tests, and others. They operate various test machines, record and analyze test results. If outliers or defects are detected, they investigate causes, provide feedback to manufacturing departments, maintain and improve test methods, and also handle sensory inspections. They contribute to quality improvement through data aggregation and report creation, and must pay attention to safety management and chemical substance handling.
Future Outlook
With the automation of manufacturing sites and the普及 of online quality monitoring systems, real-time analysis of test data and the introduction of AI technologies will progress. Adaptability to new technologies such as cloud-based data management and IoT sensors will be required, while the importance of quality assurance remains high, with stable demand expected.
