1 Share of the chain making machine operator role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the automated assembly line operator 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.

Table 2

Table 2 · What you already bring

Of the 11 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. A chain making machine operator role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a automated assembly line operator background worth leading with.

Skill the target role also needs Area

already held monitor moving workpiece in a machine working with machinery and specialised equipment
already held monitor conveyor belt information skills
already held remove inadequate workpieces handling and moving
already held perform machine maintenance working with machinery and specialised equipment
already held record production data for quality control information skills
already held supply machine working with machinery and specialised equipment

All 11 carried skills, including the 5 the chain making machine operator role treats as required.

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.
