| Abstract |
Read more…The main objective of the training processes in the organizations is to provide new knowledge, skills and abilities to employees. Quantitative metrics related to the frequency of training such as the number of offered courses, number of attended courses, provided hours of training, etc. are insufficient to verify the effectiveness of training processes. The objective of this research was to design and test simple indicators that qualify the level of achievement attained by the participants in a training event, not in terms of the ultimate goal of the learned knowledge, but in terms of exhibition of knowledge, and the increase in learning. The designed indicators were used to measure the following aspects: training needs, exposure to knowledge, increase of knowledge, and the general achievement of an event. The indicators were tested with a real case, and the results were documented using a quantitative descriptive report. The results showed the following conclusions: a greater need for training does not guarantee higher growth in knowledge; which a homogeneous group, does not guarantee a homogenous learning; and that the exposure time in training directly affects the degree of learning. |

| Abstract |
Read more…Profile capacities of companies is a decision on the degree of completion, i.e complexity including horizontal and vertical phases of the production process within their own capacities to produce a product belonging to a defined production profile, i.e. a business portfolio. Capacity is the basis for the definition of production and business cooperation. Definition of a capacity profile also defines a degree of production independence. |

| Abstract |
Read more…Scheduling is a process of allocating set of Jobs to a machine or computer processor in an orderly manner. Most of the researchers studied scheduling of Jobs for manufacturing industries without any idle time between the jobs. Practically it becomes difficult when any component of a machine begins to malfunction and the same is supposed to be replaced in the machine. Hence, some amount of idle time is needed, in order to complete the schedule. In this research work, some quantum of idle time is allotted by using computational technique to schedule the jobs in a single machine. To accomplish the task, a heuristic approach is proposed. The obtained results are compared with the existing results. It is observed that the quality of the solution of the proposed technique outperforms the existing results. |
