Where a production engineer can go next

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

Production engineers review and evaluate production performance, perform data analysis and identify under-performing production systems. They search for long or short term solutions, plan production enhancements and process optimizations.

Fig. 2 — the 5 nearest destinations from production engineer. Distance from the centre is how much retraining the move takes; the figure on each is how much of that role a production 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 production 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.
