This paper aims to address a case at a stainless steel plant (Plant B of Company A) and reveal the status of production skill that operators (general workers) have acquired at a production line. In particular, I analyzed the distribution of skill among operators and the influence of individual attributes such as a worker’s age and academic background on the distribution. The section below summarizes the analysis results. The analysis was conducted on evaluation findings of all operators (a total of 543 operators) working at Plant B. It was quantitatively confirmed through the skill level distribution that skill distribution is “inverted U-shaped type” centered on mid-level workers, mainly veteran workers. In addition, it was found through quantitative analysis of determining factors in skill level that the skill levels of a vast majority of the operators will be raised with increasing experience, and that a worker after some 25 years of service as an operator will be well qualified for problem-solving skill and maintenance operation. It was also suggested, through an examination of workers’ attributes which affect their skill development, that a worker’s intellectual level and willingness to improve skills are important for intellectual skill development.
