THE EMERGENCE OF AGED SOCIETY AND WORK REORGANIZATION AT A PLANT

老龄化社会使得有必要利用老年和女性工人，因为这一点，许多实验，如人机工程学和舒适性的改善和工作重组，现在在各个工厂实现。在这方面，我调查了日本汽车和电子行业的许多工厂。笔者还考察了沃尔沃公司的乌德瓦拉工厂，以获得参考点，该工厂在世界范围内第一次废除了装配线系统，在日本汽车工业中，有两个工厂，本田高根泽和大发池田，已经废除了皮带输送机，但仍然保留了装配线系统本身。另一方面，丰田的一些工厂仍然保留着皮带输送机，但重新考虑了装配线上分散的劳动分工，并引入了完整流程，这意味着他们试图恢复工作本身的功能性内容。在电子行业，许多工厂引入了所谓的单元生产，这意味着他们废除了皮带输送机，并扩大了每个工人的工作。

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.
