This article presents the results of a survey of the Ontario manufacturing sector, and identifies intra- and extra- organizational factors influencing the training activities of firms. On average, employees received 2,6 days of directly provided training, and some supported training. It was concluded that improvement in training participation rates has taken place throughout the 1980s, and that leading companies are reaching new levels in the duration of training offered. A variety of factors, such as Management Commitment, were found to be significant predictors of training activities.

Labour Absorption

Despite the fact that there are great disparities in factor endowments, techniques employed in the manufacturing sector of underdeveloped labour surplus countries are comparable to those of highly industrialized capital -abundant countries like the United States. A.R. Khan in his paper on capital intensities and factor use [13] concluded from an international comparison of factor intensities that Pakistani capital intensities are near the American level in a number of industries while in some cases they are even higher. Explanations of this paradox are based on two different assumptions regarding the magnitude of the elasticity of substitution between capital and labour. On the one hand it is assumed that the elasticity of substitution and thereby the possibility of labour absorption via changes in factor prices are very limited due to the dominance of techniques borrowed from the West and oriented to the needs of capital rich nations. On the other hand, significant substitution possibilities are assumed in production techniques and the presence of high capital intensities in the industrial sector is attributed to distortions in the factor markets in the form of exchange rate regulations, low rates of bank borrowing, etc., which lead to the price of capital being much lower than it's social cost.

Capacity Cost

The Electrical & Electronic (E&E) company is one of Malaysia’s leading industries that has 24.5% in manufacturing sector production. With a continuous innovation of E&E company, the current costing being used is hardly to access the complete activities with variations required for each workstation to measure the un-used capacity in term of resources and cost. The objective of this work is to develop a new costing structure using time-driven activity-based costing (TDABC) at . This data collection was obtained at E&E company located at Kuantan, Pahang that focusing on magnetic component. The historical data was considered in 2018. TDABC is used to measure the un-used capacity by constructing the time equation and capacity cost rate. This work found three conditions of un-used capacity. Type I is pessimistic situation whereby according to winding toroid core, the un-used capacity of time and cost are -14820 hours and -MYR2.60 respectively. It means the system must sacrifice the time and cost more than actual apportionment. Type II is most likely situation whereby according to assembly process, the un-used capacity of time and cost are 7400 hours and MYR201575.45 respectively. It means the system minimize the time and cost which close to fully utilize from the actual apportionment. Type III is optimistic situation whereby according to alignment process, the un-used capacity of time and cost are 4120 hours and MYR289217.15 respectively. It means the system used small amount of cost and time from the actual apportionment.
