ABSTRACT
This chapter illustrates the need for early selectivity in analysis at the level and the establishment of clear training and learning priorities. Job analysis, method specification, target setting and all the other associated techniques form part of what is well-established doctrine. The essential emphasis of key elements and activities required as the basis for training is sometimes completely lost in a mass of job breakdown material. The result of over-analysis of this kind can be confusion and breakdown of the whole training system. Hand filleting is a traditional skill and methods and standards are common to fishing ports where the work has been done in the same way for many centuries. Several groups of filleters were trained during the three-year period with increasing success in terms of improved performance and training times. Feedback from each exercise contributed to the continuous review of the original analysis and improvements in the training programme.
