| Abstract | ||||
| Personnel have a great impact on the production efficiency, and there are several ways to improve their skills including training, where training programs have a great impact on the improvement of skills and, in turn, improve production and managerial efficiency of the factories. So training is a strategic goal for such organizations. This study aims to study the problem of “The reduction of the training programs efficiency for the human factor at the nutritional manufacturing sector for general and at the sugar factories for special”. So this study aims at investigating the effectiveness of the training programs provided by Abu Qurkas Sugar Factory in Minia Government and determine the managerial and economic efficiency through the performance indicators. The study concluded the following; the aggregate manufacturing efficiency for the factory was the lowest comparing with the other sugar factories with 48.5% efficiency for sugarcane production line and 107.7% efficiency for sugar beet production. The extraction ratio of sugar is 10.15% for sugarcane and 12.33% for sugar beet. The low level of efficiency comparing to other sugar factories is due to the human input. The performance indicators are as follows: The average labor productivity is 59.7 ton per year with a value of 255 thousand EGP. The productivity of the working hour is 61.4 tons per hour with a value of 290 thousand tons. The average salary per worker is 6000 EGP per year. The productivity of a salary pound is 9.95 kg per pound with a value of 42.5 pound. The profit per invested EGP is 0.77 pound. The Data Envelopment Analysis model showed that the factory is inefficient regarding the technical efficiency comparing with the other sugar factories. Human input is not efficient due to non-sufficient training programs and the training programs are not well-designed. The study recommends the following: Ensure providing the suitable sugar beet seeds that could resist against diseases and provide then on time. Ensure providing sugarcane seeds with low water consumption. Increase the prices of supplied sugar crops to ensure more supply. Encourage farmers to use the new technology for cultivation of sugar crops. Establish a department to be responsible for training at the factory. Provide a friendly work environment and encourage the personnel in the different departments at the factory to share knowledge with each other and work as a team in order to increase the performance and efficiency of the factory. | ||||
