WASTEFUL ORGANIZATIONAL PRACTICES IN MANUFACTURING BUSINESS ORGANIZATIONS

Project Abstract

Wasteful organizational practices within manufacturing business organizations have been a significant area of concern due to their negative impacts on efficiency, cost-effectiveness, and overall sustainability. This research project aims to investigate the various forms of wasteful practices that are commonly observed in manufacturing settings, as well as the underlying factors contributing to their prevalence. The study will employ a mixed-methods approach, combining quantitative data analysis with qualitative interviews and observations to gain a comprehensive understanding of the issue. The research will focus on identifying and categorizing different types of waste, such as overproduction, excess inventory, defects, waiting times, unnecessary motion, and underutilized employee skills. By examining these categories of waste, the study seeks to highlight the specific areas where organizations can improve their operational processes to reduce inefficiencies and enhance productivity. Furthermore, the project will explore the root causes of wasteful practices, including inadequate process design, poor communication, lack of employee training, and ineffective performance measurement systems. Through the analysis of real-world case studies and empirical data from manufacturing companies, the research aims to provide practical insights and recommendations for managers and decision-makers to address wasteful practices effectively. By implementing targeted strategies such as lean manufacturing principles, continuous improvement initiatives, and employee empowerment programs, organizations can streamline their operations, eliminate non-value-added activities, and create a culture of continuous innovation and efficiency. In conclusion, this research project will contribute to the existing body of knowledge on wasteful organizational practices in manufacturing business organizations by offering a comprehensive analysis of different types of waste and their underlying causes. By shedding light on these issues and proposing actionable solutions, the study aims to help organizations enhance their competitiveness, sustainability, and long-term success in today's dynamic business environment.

Project Overview

<p> </p><h3><strong>INTRODUCTION</strong></h3><h3><strong>1.1 &nbsp; &nbsp; BACKGROUND TO THE STUDY</strong></h3><p>The Nigerian Breweries industries have board directors at the Apex of its administration hierarchy. The board of directors determines the corporate management policies while the detailed operational and tactical decisions are left to the discretion of the operations managers and departmental managers. The Nigeria brewery industry the 9th mile branch has a staff strength of about one thousand five hundred 1,500. The organization structure of the company is complex for instance, the post of operation manager and finance control manager are horizontal and placed directly under the board of directors. However there could be role conflict among the occupant and the principle of accountability would not be effectively adhere to in such a situation of the Nigeria brewery industry 9th mile corner Enugu.</p><p><strong>WHAT IS MOTIVATION:</strong>&nbsp;It is a Latin “Movers” it is a way of bringing out the best quality in a person to arrive at a better achievement or result. It could also mean a process crating a conducive environment that will stimulate employees to perform at a superior level. Jones (1955) said that it is energized sustained, directs, stopped on what kinds of subjective reactions that is present in the organization and it influences characters. Motivation could be put in a context relevant to managers. A manager’s major concern is definitely related to his subordinates performance. He should be interested in such questions as what factors make people happy on the job? A moment reflection will show how true. It is in case we belong to various organizations like clubs, churches, professional society or company. &nbsp;We should be able to assesses how intensive we are willing to serve them without some inducements. If all these considered potentials contributors to an organization are arranged in order of willingness to serve, the scale will gradually descend from possible intensive willingness through neutral zero willingness. To this end result, it means that all those responsible for the management of and organization must build into the entire system factors that will induce people to put their best effectively and efficiently.</p><p>Organization today have larger and more complex than in the past. The master and the servant relationship has disappeared and with it gone to the day of rigid control and direction. To get people work effectively in these changed circumstances of different approach is required. This study is aimed at establishing the fact that human behaviours control the destiny of any organization. The success of an organization depends on the effective management of human resources available people at mostly perception especially when it comes to motivation. We can therefore say that motivation is am important is an important determinant of human behaviour. It is that which moves one towards a goal. An organization on the other hand is a structural process in which. Individual interest for their goals and objectives. It could also mean a group of people who are bound together for unity of action and for the achievement of a predetermined objective or accomplish a given task. These organization are vital instrument in any society. Thy should be established so as to help in this direction to increase productivity, develop mew knowledge, skills and attitudes organization to should reduce waste, improve manpower development and ensure community of leadership. Al these one hopes will lead to the enhancement.</p><p><strong>1.2 &nbsp; &nbsp; STATEMENT OF THE PROBLEMS</strong></p><p>The Nigerian breweries Plc which I used as my case study used the motivation on stock promotion like (given their employees one create to sell and collect its money) company paid insurance and promotion as at when due but all are not enough to make all the employees happy for human being have complex characteristics hence human needs that conditions human behaviour are equal complex with a lot of variations. Theses motivation which this organization use does not bring out the best form the employees and it does not help to reduce the high rate of absenteeism. Industrial unrest and disciplinary problems among the Nigeria breweries workers. That is why I have to state these problems if tackled will help them to enhance the motivation techniques in the organization.</p><p>1.
