Monotonous labor - Tanchouroudou

Japanese: 単調労働 - たんちょうろうどう
Monotonous labor - Tanchouroudou
It refers to work that is extremely repetitive in nature. The monotony of work can be objectively measured to some extent by the time allotted for the completion of a task (job cycle). The shorter the job cycle, the more times the same task is repeated within a given working hour. Typical examples of monotonous work are assembly, inspection, packaging, and other jobs in mass production factories for automobiles, electrical appliances, precision machinery, clothing, miscellaneous goods, and food, but it can also be found widely in workplaces where single-skill machines are operated and in mechanized offices where information is processed at high speed.

Japanese:
繰返し的な性格のきわめてつよい労働のこと。労働の単調さは,ひとわたりの仕事の遂行のために割り当てられている時間〈ジョブ・サイクルjob cycle〉によって,ある程度は客観的に把握できる。それが短ければそれだけ何回も,同じ仕事が一定の労働時間内に繰り返されるわけである。単調労働の代表例は,自動車,電機,精密機械,衣服,雑貨,食品などの大量生産工場における組立て,検査,包装などの仕事であるが,単能機械操作の職場にも,高速で情報を処理する機械化された事務所にも,広範に見いだすことができる。
