CHAPTER ONE
INTRODUCTION
1.1 BACKGROUND OF THE STUDY
Word
wide, manufacturing industries have grown tremendously in the last
decade. Some of the industries are predominantly in the small scale
sector employing mostly unskilled and untrained manpower. Besides, the
increased consumption of various goods manufactured, the use of these
goods for other purposes is increasing rapidly due to globalization and
joint ventures with leading industries from the developed countries.
There is the growing demand for improving the quality of products on par
with the international standard. The demand for quality improvement and
economic production can be met through development and induction of
trained manpower. However, the development and training of this manpower
is without no problem.
Manpower has been defined or referred to as
people, humanity or society with all the needs, inspirations and
capacities as an economic resource, also as the number of people
available for work. The term can however be brought to common standard
as the aggregate skills, attitudes emanating and consequent upon the
quality and extent of education and training, providing a labor force
with desired planning and organizing ability.
Manpower has to be
planed by ensuring that an organization has the right number of people
who posses the proper skills at the right time performing jobs that are
useful to the organization. This can be done by auditing of present
labor force in terms of skill mix, experience and location creating a
viable method for forecasting manpower needs present volume of
production, anticipating expansion changing technology etc, deciding
critically skills and establishing plans for their allocation, analysis
of the labor market and trends in demands and supply relationship and
developing plans for meeting manpower strategies.
Development is
synonymous with social mobilization. It is the process of moving people
from a situation and propelling them through a system of planned
indoctrination toward the ought situation and administration of things
where certain aspects of the old yield to the new calculated to
reinforce those values considered a sin qua non for accomplishing
national development goals.
Training on the other people learn
organized procedure by which people learn or acquire knowledge and or
skill for a define purpose.
The dynamic nature, that is the change
directed character of development was recognized when certain write ups
pointed out that the concept has more values and adoption of new ones.
