THE EMERGENCE OF AGED SOCIETY AND WORK REORGANIZATION AT A PLANT

老龄化社会使得使用老年和女工成为必要，因为许多实验，如人机工程学和舒适性的改善，以及工作重组，现在已经在各种工厂实现。在这方面，我调查了日本汽车和电子行业的许多工厂。我还考察了沃尔沃的Uddevalla工厂，以获得参照点，该工厂在全球范围内首次取消了流水线制度。在日本汽车业，本田高泽和池田大发两家工厂已经取消了皮带输送机，但仍保留了流水线制度本身。另一方面，丰田的一些工厂仍然保留带式输送机，但重新考虑流水线上分散的分工，引入完整的流程，这意味着他们试图恢复工作本身的有功能意义的内容。在电子行业，许多工厂引入所谓的单元生产，这意味着他们取消了带式输送机，使每个工人的工作都扩大了。

Aged society makes it necessary to utilize aged and female workers Because of this many experimentations such as ergonomic and amenity improvements and work reorganization are now realized in various plants. In this regard I investigated lot of plants in auto and electronic industries in Japan. I also investigated Uddevalla plant of Volvo for the purpose of getting the reference point, which abolished assembly line system for the first time all over world.In Japanese auto industry, there are two plants, Honda Takanezawa and Daihatsu Ikeda which already abolish a belt conveyer, but still keep an assembly line system itself in one hand. There are some plants of Toyota on the other hand, which still maintain a belt conveyer, but reconsider fragmented division of labor on an assembly line and introduce Complete Process, which means that they try to recover functionally meaningful content in work itself.In electronic industry many plants introduce so called Cell Production, which means that they abolish a belt conveyer and make each worker's job enlarged.
