Text: The VE testified that Kyle's previous job of finishing process operator, laminate would have Dictionary of Occupational Titles (DOT) number 584.682-014 and would be classified as medium work with an SVP of 5. [6] Since there was no DOT number for Kyle's job as a laminate supervisor, the VE concluded that the DOT jobs that most closely fit the laminate supervisor job were the jobs of general production supervisor (DOT number 699.130-010, light work, SVP of 7, making it skilled) and supervisor of coating machines (DOT number 554.137-014, light work, SVP of 7, making it also skilled). According to the VE, the hypothetical man confined to the activities Dr. Wheeler described could not perform his past relevant work.
