1 Share of the malt house supervisor role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the food production planner profile. Required skills count in full, supplementary skills at 0.35. Directional: the figure for the reverse move differs. 2 Combines what is missing with how specialised it is, so a gap of general skills scores easier than the same number of narrow ones.

Why

Why this move works

A malt house supervisor role treats 5 of its required skills as things a food production planner already does. These are the ones it depends on most.

  • apply GMP
  • apply HACCP
  • apply requirements concerning manufacturing of food and beverages
  • give instructions to staff
  • quality assurance methodologies

What stands in the way is 14 required skills the profile does not yet cover. Table 3 groups them; Table 4 says which to take first.

Table 2

Table 2 · What you already bring

Of the 10 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. A malt house supervisor role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a food production planner background worth leading with.

Skill the target role also needs Area
  • already held analyse work-related written reports information skills
  • already held give instructions to staff communication, collaboration and creativity
  • already held quality assurance methodologies business, administration and law
  • already held analyse production processes for improvement information skills
  • already held apply GMP assisting and caring
  • already held apply HACCP assisting and caring

All 10 carried skills, including the 5 the malt house supervisor role treats as required.

Table 3 · What you would need to learn

The 22 missing skills fall into 10 areas of the ESCO skill hierarchy, numbered below in the order worth working in: the areas carrying the most required skills come first, and inside each one the required skills sit above the supplementary ones.

5 gaps that are knowledge rather than practice

Knowledge gaps usually close through study. Practical skill gaps usually need something you can point at.

How this record was compiled

Both occupations are taken from ESCO, which lists the skills and knowledge each occupation is expected to have and marks every one required or optional. Nothing here is a prediction about hiring, and nothing here knows that a particular employer wants a particular certificate. Treat Table 3 as a starting point for your own research rather than a syllabus. The full method states what these figures can and cannot tell you.
