Maintenance skills (such as electrical/automation) and user maintenance have a significant role as part of the production operators' job description. Shift operators handle repair measures in the evening/night and weekend times, while maintenance personnel mainly work in the day shift. In addition, on maintenance days, planned cleaning, maintenance and repair work are participated in. Therefore, readiness for maintenance tasks is a prerequisite for success in the position.
