Your Manufacturing Training is Costly and Inefficient
| Problem | Cost |
|---|---|
| Classroom training takes 2 days | 2 days × R1,500/day × 300 workers = R900k lost productivity |
| Venue, travel, accommodation | R1,500–R3,000 per worker = R450k–R900k |
| Trainer fees | R500–R1,000 per worker = R150k–R300k |
| Total cost (300 workers) | R1.5m–R2.1m/year |
| Completion rate | Only 78% finish |
| Audit risk | 38% of factories fail audits |
Your workers should be on the production line. Why are they stuck in a classroom for 2 days?
