can lead the company to a higher level of achievement in the long run.
It is one of the most important tasks of management to ensure that the company allocate sufficient resources in building a strong team consisting of highly competent people. In order to reach the goal, the management must pay attention to the human development process.
Building multi-skilled employees can be another area in human-resource development, and multiple-skill development can be beneficial to both frontline and back-end functions.
In the production environment, multi-skilled labour can help increase productivity and cost effectiveness through the combination of related functions, so that one person can perform several tasks with a shorter cycle time.
For example, an operator can learn how to set up the machine for the start-up of the operation or the change-over without facility technicians. Then he or she can also perform the production according to prescribed job description.
