When we discuss about japanese style of management in relation to labour process, we take into consideration of automobile industry as a model of processing and assembling industry. Work in automobile industry is divided into line work and maintenance work. The former is intensive and monotonous work which doesn't need intellectual judgments. The latter is brain work which needs scientific knowledges about computer control, electricity and electronics. Since 1988,Polytechnic Colleges within enterprise for authorized vocational training have been established by some companies to meet their demands for technicians and they have trained technicians. Aim of Polytechnic Colleges is to develop personnel who can understand theory, manufacture products, and behave most appropriately in each situation within a two-year period. In the 1st year, emphasis is placed on learning the basics of electrical engineering, electronic engineering, microcomputer control, mechanical engineering, etc. From the 2nd year, students take more practically oriented classes, such as electromechanics, and also work on the development of a specified project. Projects for application and development are chosen to match the students' future area of activity. Those who make a special study of electronics course are arranged into research and development department, trial production department. On the other hand, those who make a special study of mechatoronics course are arranged into improvement group or maintenance group of production department.
