Yes, and it is a moderate move. An industrial assembly supervisor already covers 73% of what a wood production supervisor is expected to do: 28 skills carry over, 14 of which the wood production supervisor role treats as required.

2 required skills are missing, plus 14 optional ones. They fall into 5 areas of the ESCO skill hierarchy, led by engineering, manufacturing and construction. The single most important is coordinate communication within a team.

Its learning distance is 30.4 out of 100, which is the moderate band. That accounts for both how much is missing and how specialised those skills are.
