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.
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. \nWhen making development decisions, one must take into account the type of a product, type and volume of production, capacity profile and size, location, degree of access to basic and supplementary resources and possibilities of obtaining the longer time perspective, the level of technology, particularly in terms of modernity, i.e dominance, potential perspective of purchasing capacity and demand, the state of competition and possibility to increase their own business opportunities, etc.\n \nOutput quality, through which the company enters into its fluctuating environment, will predominantly be determined by the quality of inputs and the level of technical modernity means of production expressed through the level of technology dominance chosen. When the quality of the raw materials conditions the application value and the properties of the final product, we may have a situation which technology is not able to correct. The study paper also points to the existence of a dependence of the production capacity profiles upon the location and globalization, which is underscored as a branch of intensive technical progress and hence the engagement of the highly qualified labor force.
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.
