Since human resource is the most
important factor of production, the top
management should craft the strategies to
enhance their skills, attitude, and knowledge
through the TLBO system. Then, the firm
can reduce the wastes in energy
consumption and number of defective
products. Moreover, the motivated
employees always contribute their
maximum efforts to save the cost for
enhancing the profit of their organization.
The present study has found that there
are four KPIs such as labour productivity,
number of defects, energy consumption, and
non attendence to measure the
organizational performace in a TLBO
working cultural context. The selected firm
can enhance their performance through
those KPIs while improving attitude, skills,
and knowledge of employees to avoid or
minimize the humn errors in the production
process. Since the present study was carried
out in a manufacturing firm, the future
reseachers can extend it up to the service
sector. Then the findings would help
broadening the generalizability and
identifying more KPIs for measuirng the
implementation suceess of the TLBO
strategy in the industrial sector.
