Dear all seniors,
I don't understand how to calculate training man-days per employee per year when the total manpower is 700. Our company's training target is 6 man-days per employee per year, and we are currently tracking training hours on a monthly basis. Our company operates in the automobile industry, so I kindly request all of you to please assist us.
Thank you.

Dear JP Singh,
It appears that you have confused between "Monday" and "man-day". The meaning of the latter is "a day regarded in terms of the amount of work that can be done by one person within this period."
Your company has 700 employees, and the target is to complete six training days per annum per employee. In that case, the total number of man-days in a year would be 700 x 6 = 4,200. To know the monthly man-days, you need to divide this number by 12. Therefore, the total training man-days per month would be 350. Assuming that there are 25 working days per month, when we divide 350 by 25, we get 14.
Therefore, every working day, you need to train 14 or 15 employees. Don't you think that the target is too ambitious?
By the way, fixing training days per employee per year is a little bureaucratic approach. Don't you think you should give preference to measuring the impact of the training over the hours or days spent in the training?
If you are from a manufacturing company, then for your business, the following costs are important:
a) Inventory Carrying Cost of Raw Materials
b) Work in Progress (WIP) Inventory Costs
c) Inventory Carrying Cost of Finished Goods
d) Capital costs to run the operations
e) Capacity costs
f) Maintenance costs
g) Quality costs
h) Inspection costs
Therefore, your focus should be on controlling the above costs and not on the number of training hours per se. Controlling the above costs may demand more or fewer days of training than six man-days per annum. Therefore, you may decide your priorities based on the business requirements or hours of the training.
Earlier, there was a query on the training budget. You may click here to refer to my reply.

Dear Mr. J. P. Singh,
The formula to calculate training mandays is very simple: Total Mandays invested in training in a year / total number of employees. Total Mandays invested in training = Internal Training mandays + External training mandays + Mandays invested in the orientation and induction of new employees.
Internal Training includes On-the-job training and Off-the-job training (Classroom Training). External Training includes Mandays invested in training (employees sent outside the organization to attend training programs), attending knowledge-sharing programs at national and international levels, and KIP (Knowledge Improvement Plans) Visits in sister concerns.
We hope this information answers your query. Please feel free to write to me for further discussions.
Thank you.

Dear JP,
Formula for Training Man-days:
1) First, convert Training hours into Training Man-days. For example, 200 hours of training: 200 / 6 = 33.3 Man-days (excluding the time for admin and physical arrangements, a day of actual training could be considered as 6 hours).
2) Divide the total Training Man-days by the total number of employees on the organization's payroll. If you have a total of 100 employees, your average training man-days will be 3.33.
Please note that the concept of Training Man-days is not perfect and does not provide a real picture, as it considers total man-hours, whereas it is possible that certain employees or departments receive more training than others, while some may not undergo any training. The ideal approach is to track individual training scores.
