Publisher's Synopsis
Part of the Department for Education and employment "Skills Review Programme", this volume explores the current and future skill requirements in key occupations. The study of process operatives examined the developments in processing work in 20 organizations within the chemical, and food and drink processing industries. As competitive pressures are increasing, organizations are seeking ways of operating more effectively through modifications to working practices and technological developments. In flatter structures, employers want fewer process workers to do more, and to develop a wider range of personal and technical skills.
