perakit

Perakit is an Indonesian term that refers to a person who assembles components into a finished product. The word is formed from the root rakit, meaning to assemble, with the agentive prefix pe-, yielding perakit as the assembler. The related noun perakitan denotes the act or process of assembling.

Perakitan is a common activity across many manufacturing sectors, including electronics, automotive, machinery, furniture, and consumer goods. A perakit may work on production lines in factories, in small workshops, or in repair and maintenance settings. Typical duties include interpreting assembly instructions and technical drawings, selecting and preparing parts, fastening components with hand or power tools, and performing quality checks. In electronics, the role may involve soldering or wiring, while in furniture or mechanical assembly the focus is on accurate alignment and secure joining. Adherence to safety protocols and standard operating procedures is essential.

Skills commonly required for a perakit include the ability to read basic manuals, schematics, or bills of materials; manual dexterity and spatial awareness; attention to detail; and the ability to work in a team. Training ranges from vocational-technical education to on-the-job learning, with some positions requiring certification for specific tools or processes. Language proficiency is often oriented to following written instructions and communicating within a production environment.

Variations in job titles exist, such as pegawai perakitan or operator perakitan, reflecting different levels of responsibility. In English-language contexts, the role is typically translated as assembler or assembly technician. Perakit remains a core occupation in the manufacturing sector, linking design specifications to finished products.
