1 Share of the industrial assembly supervisor role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the industrial production manager 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 industrial assembly supervisor role treats 14 of its required skills as things a industrial production manager already does. These are the ones it depends on most.

  • adjust production schedule
  • analyse production processes for improvement
  • create manufacturing guidelines
  • define manufacturing quality criteria
  • develop manufacturing policies
  • industrial engineering

What stands in the way is 20 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 17 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. A industrial assembly supervisor role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a industrial production manager background worth leading with.

Skill the target role also needs Area
  • already held industrial software information and communication technologies (icts)
  • already held adapt production levels management skills
  • already held oversee assembly operations information skills
  • already held adjust production schedule management skills
  • already held create manufacturing guidelines management skills
  • already held develop manufacturing policies management skills

All 17 carried skills, including the 14 the industrial assembly supervisor role treats as required.

The 51 missing skills fall into 8 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.

9 gaps that are knowledge rather than practice

Note

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.
