Training and Development of Technical Staff in the Textile Industry

Technical staff in the textile industry are the backbone for the industry to run successfully. Management employ adequately qualified technical personnel and allot them to the supervisory jobs, whereas basic control of the raw materials, men, machinery procurement, devising policies etc. is controlled by the top management.

Often we hear the top management blaming their technical staff for the failures and losses the company is making, but, what the top management is doing to educate and train their technical staff to make them efficient and effective supervisors is the million-dollar question.

Training and development of technical staff in the textile industry explains various aspects of management related to working on the shop floor by supervisory staff. This book is a practical guide for firms looking to develop their supervisory staff.
