The cost of not training
Training is not a cost. It's an investment. It really doesn't matter that what we pay for an investment. What is relevant is what we get in return. One of the easiest
34. ways is to put an organisation's future at risk would be to view training primarily as a
35. cost, and therefore provide with substandard training that operates only as a
36. temporary solution. Many companies attempt to quantify the results of training. For
37. example, a person paid $50,000 a year who wastes just one hour a day costs the
38. organisation between $6,250 per year. So if the organisation sends 25 people for
39. training and they all receive the same benefit, this would equal from $156,250
40. savings per year. A few years ago, training, apart from showing employees
41. what the basics of doing the job, was an optional extra for most organisations.
42. Today this is no longer the case. If we, continue doing what we do in the same way,
43. most of us and our organisations will become obsolete within the five years. This is
44. because of our competitors are helping their staff to become more effective through
45. training. They understand that if the real price of not training is the company falling behind as a result.

The craft producer uses highly skilled workers and simple but flexible tools to make exactly what the consumer asks for — one item at a time. Custom furniture, works of decorative art, and a few exotic cars provide current-day examples. We all love the idea of craft method — as automobiles once were exclusively — cost too much for most of us to afford. So mass production was developed at the beginning of the twentieth century as an alternative.
The mass-producer uses narrowly skilled professionals to design products made by unskilled or semiskilled workers tending expensive, single purpose machines. These churn out standardized products in very high volume. Because the machinery costs so much and it is so intolerant of disruption, the mass-producer adds many buffers -- extra supplies, extra workers, and extra space — to assure smooth production. Because changing over to a new product costs even more, the mass-producer keeps standard designs in production for as long as possible. The result: the consumer gets lower costs but at the expense of variety and by means of work methods that most employees find boring and dispiriting.
The lean producer, by contrast, combines the advantages of craft and mass production, while avoiding the high cost of the former and the rigidity of the latter.
Toward this end, lean producers employ teams of multiskilled workers at levels of the organization and use highly flexible, increasingly automated machines to produce volumes of products in enormous variety.
Lean production is "lean" because it uses less of everything compared with mass production, half the human effort in the factory, half the manufacturing space, half the investment in tools, half the engineering hours to develop a new product in half the time. Also, it requires keeping far less than half the needed inventory on site, results in much fewer defects, and produces a greater and ever growing variety products.
About the craft production, which of the following statements is NOT TRUE?
A.It used highly skilled workers.
B.It produced expensive goods.
C.It was developed at the beginning of the twentieth century.
D.It used flexible machines to make what the buyer asked for.
