41.3/ 100

1 Share of the flour purifier operator role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the milk heat treatment process 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.

Why

Why this move works

A flour purifier operator role treats 10 of its required skills as things a milk heat treatment process operator already does. These are the ones it depends on most.

  • apply GMP
  • apply HACCP
  • apply requirements concerning manufacturing of food and beverages
  • carry out checks of production plant equipment
  • collect samples for analysis
  • follow hygienic procedures during food processing

What stands in the way is 5 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 16 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. A flour purifier operator role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a milk heat treatment process operator background worth leading with.

Skill the target role also needs Area
  • already held secure goods handling and moving
  • already held set up equipment for food production working with machinery and specialised equipment
  • already held food safety principles services
  • already held carry out checks of production plant equipment constructing
  • already held work in a food processing team communication, collaboration and creativity
  • already held follow production schedule management skills

All 16 carried skills, including the 10 the flour purifier 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.
