Where a manufacturing engineer can go next

5 destinations recorded, ranked by how much of the target role a manufacturing engineer already meets. The closer to the top of Table 1, the less there is to learn.

Manufacturing engineers design manufacturing processes for different kinds of production processes. They integrate those specificities and constraints posed by the industry or the product being produced with general and wide-spread manufacturing engineering principles into the design and planification of manufacturing processes.

Fig. 2 — the 5 nearest destinations from manufacturing engineer. Distance from the centre is how much retraining the move takes; the figure on each is how much of that role a manufacturing engineer already covers. All 5 are listed in the tables below.
  • 70% and above · short step
  • 50 to 70% · real move
  • Below 50% · substantial retraining

Note

How these figures were compiled

Coverage is the share of the target role’s weighted skill requirement a manufacturing engineer already meets, counting required skills in full and supplementary ones at 0.35. It is directional: the figure for the reverse move differs. Every entry above opens the full comparison for that move: what carries over, what is missing, and where to start. The full method.
