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.
