EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

Conducting proper training programs and evaluating it are essential for the growth of any organization. The method of evaluation varies according to the training and the environment. In this study an evaluation of the training program that was conducted at Venture Lighting India Ltd is done. The model used for the study was Kirkpatricks Four Level Evaluation Model.

Kirkpatricks model demands a study in which data from different time period is needed. The data for evaluation was collected from the training feedback form. The learning was evaluated using the learning evaluation score and the behavioral changes were found using the employee evaluation sheet. The result was analyzed using the changes in the output.

The data collected from the HR department was analyzed using percentage analysis and the study found that the training has received a positive response from the employees. The learning abilities of the employees were found to be high. But the behavioral changes were not so observed in the employees. The training had an impact in the companys output too.

The recommendations were framed on the findings. The frequency and content of the training programs can be increased as there is a good scope for further training. It was also recommended that measures should be taken to make increase behavioral change in employees.

Industry profile
Manufacturing industry refers to those industries which involve in the manufacturing and processing of items and indulge in either creation of new commodities or in value addition. The manufacturing industry accounts for a significant share of the industrial sector in developed countries. The final products can either serves as a finished good for sale to customers or as intermediate goods used in the production process.

Evolution of the industry:

Manufacturing industries came into being with the occurrence of technological and socio-economic transformations in the Western countries in the 18th-19th century. This was widely known as industrial revolution. It began in Britain and replaced the labor intensive textile production with mechanization and use of fuels.

Working of manufacturing industry:

Manufacturing industries are the chief wealth producing sectors of an economy. These industries use various technologies and methods widely known as manufacturing process management. Manufacturing industries are broadly categorized into engineering industries, construction industries, electronics industries, chemical industries, energy industries, textile industries, food and beverage industries, metalworking industries, plastic industries, transport and telecommunication industries.

Manufacturing industries are important for an economy as they employ a huge share of the labor force and produce materials required by sectors of strategic importance such as national infrastructure and defense. However, not all manufacturing industries are beneficial to the nation as some of them generate negative externalities with huge social costs. The cost of letting such industries flourish may even exceed the benefits generated by them.

Title of the study

A study to evaluate the training given on Quality Control in venture lighting India Ltd

ii. Background of the study


There is much ado about training as an important component of the overall capacity building of any employee in an organization. Training is a planned process to acquire knowledge, skill, to modify attitude and/or behavior. Training is done using different kinds of techniques, which include Lecture-cum-Discussion, Case Discussions, Group Discussions, and Exercises/Hands on Sessions, and Field visits. It is seen that sharing of learning experiences during training helps achieve a more effective performance in an activity or range of activities among the trainees.

Efforts are made to evaluate training programs by both the training institution and the participating organizations, so that there can be an effective learning process. Where training is in-house the three most common reasons for evaluating the training program is: (1) to see how future programs can be improved; (2) to determine whether training should be continued and (3) to justify the existence of the training department itself. However most organizations continue to perceive training as a philanthropic activity whose results is intangible in nature, and hence do not consider evaluation as a necessary activity. But over Evaluation of Academic Activities in Universities 140 the years, evaluation has become an important component as training requires enormous amount of investment in terms of human, financial and other resources.

Donald Kirkpatrick in 1959 formulated the four Levels of Evaluation. The four levels represent a sequence of steps to evaluate training programs. Each level is important and has an impact on the next level. As one moves from one level to the next, the process becomes more difficult and time consuming, but it also provides more valuable information.

21
RAJAGIRI SCHOOL OF MANAGEMENT

EVALUATION OF TRAINING Level 1: Evaluation at this level measures how those who participate in the program react to it and is taken immediately after the completion of the training program. It can also be called a measure of customer satisfaction. It is observed that a positive and favorable reaction from a few key persons in the group influences the future of a program. In fact a less than favorable reaction affects the motivation to learn among the participants. A negative reaction could greatly reduce chances of continuity for further programs.

Level 2:

A simple standardized paper and pencil test is administered (same test) before and after the programs as part of the evaluation process. This helps in understanding the extent to which participants change attitudes, improve knowledge and /or increase skill as a result of attending the program.

Level 3:

At this stage, it would be possible to assess the extent to which the behavior is changed because of training and ideally assessed between six to nine months after the training is completed.

Level 4:

At this level the final impact results are taken into consideration. The final results can be in the form of increased production, improved quality, decreased costs, reduced frequency and/or severity of accidents, decreased costs, increased sales, reduced turnover and higher profits. It would help if the final objectives of the training program can be stated in these terms, for seeing improvement in the long-term. This assessment can be made between one to three years after completion of training, because otherwise there is a danger of lack of recall. It is also that changes cannot always be singularly identified with the training received.

22
RAJAGIRI SCHOOL OF MANAGEMENT

EVALUATION OF TRAINING The Kirkpatrick (KP) model has been used in different situations but predominantly in industrial settings, because, the final results are more quantifiable in nature both for the trainers and the trainees. This helps the authorities to take decisions about the continuation of training in a very proactive manner. Some of the companies which have used this evaluation method very rigorously include Motorola Corporation, University of Wisconsin, USA which evaluated the training for developing supervisory skills in the staff, and Intel Corporation which used the method to evaluate a corporation wide performance improvement system (Kirkpatrick 1998). Increasingly, the KP model is being used by training organizations to understand the impact of the training programs even where the results are not very tangible in nature (Marcotte, Bakker-Dhaliwal and Bell, 2002).

iii. Statement of the problem


Venture Lighting India Ltd is a manufacturing company in Chennai, which produces metal halide lamps. The company had given a training program on quality control in February 2009. This study is to evaluate that training program.

iv. Relevance of the study


Training programs are very important for any organization. As the venture lighting is a manufacturing company the quality is very important. The study is to evaluate the training program given in quality control. As the company is planning to give more importance to training, the evaluation of the existing training program is very important.

viii. Sampling and Sample size


Sampling Technique- Census Method

Population-57
The study was conducted to evaluate the training given on Quality control. The total number of employees who had undergone the training was 57. And hence it became the population of the study.

Sample size-57
The population for the study was very small (57). So the entire population was taken as the sample for the study

Limitations of the Study


In the training feedback-form trainees were asked to write their name, which reduces the truthfulness of the response. The response analysis contains only three questions. The questions about the content of the training, design of the training, the facilities of training room etc were not analysed. The learning need to be analysed just after the training programme, but it was done after one month The behavioural change was evaluated after one month. But it is not a sufficient time period for analyzing the behavioural changes The change in the output may not be only due to the training programme, but that was the only data available to the researcher.
