The major changes that took place on the shop floor in the 2000s were an in¬crease in the number of non-regular workers, primarily contractors and dis¬patched workers, which continued until 2007, and a sharp decline in produc¬tion in industries such as the automotive industry, coupled with a reduction in employment focused on dispatched workers, following the September 2008 Lehman Crisis. Intellectual skills are said to be the characteristic of the Japa¬nese shop floor, but how did these skills and the way in which they are formed change amid this situation? According to a shop floor survey conducted within the automotive industry in 2002, intellectual skills were considered to be im¬portant and were formed among regular employees in an integrated fashion. The work done by non-regular workers, whose numbers are growing in the workplace, was initially separated from that done by regular employees, but that led to poor efficiency and many such workers quit their jobs. Although their status is "non-regular," their work experience in that workplace is im-portant. As the economy recovered, there was an increase in their appointment to positions with regular employee status. The surveys conducted by the Japan Institute for Labour Policy and Training in 2007, 2008 and 2009 show that the importance of intellectual skills among regular employees and the methods used to form them have remained basically unchanged. In fact, skills have be¬come more advanced and have penetrated to the level of small and medi¬um-sized enterprises.
