Dear Sir,
Thank you for your response. I think it again depends upon the nature of the industry. Please let me know what is the best possible method to finalize the budget and on what basis or percentage the budget is generally prepared.

Dear Nainesh,
There is no standard as such. Allocation of hours for training will vary from one industry to another and one company to another. Suppose a company is going for, say, ISO or Six Sigma, then you need to train the whole operations staff and other supporting staff.
However, in many companies, the general time budget is 2-3 working days per person per year. Again, there lies a catch. In these days of "lean manpower," it is quite difficult for Ops Managers to spare his/her staff for training. Secondly, when it comes to "learning," managers are very good at delegation. But then if the training is happening at some five-star resort or hotel, the same managers spring their "great learning attitude."
Therefore, in some companies rather than adopting the bureaucratic approach of "number of hours per year," "operations need" derive the training requirement. When we are clear about what needs to be increased or decreased, obviously the number of training hours does not matter.
Ok...

Hi,
I worked in a manufacturing industry in Learning & Development function for 3 years, and I would rather say man-days are not only industry-specific but also department/vertical-specific. For example, the Target Man-days for Corporate Services would be 3.5 MD, whereas the Target Man-days for the Manufacturing business unit department would be around 7 MD since more focus on Safety & Health, technical trainings are required. So, it is very important to understand the various categories of training (e.g., Behavioral, technical, functional, QHSE, induction, etc.) you need to focus on and for which department.
I hope this helps to decide on the target, although it is always good to analyze the last 2 years' training data and set standards according to Management focus.
