Orientation: Organisations are confronted with the challenge of competency among its employees for productivity improvement. They implement strategies that improve employee skills proficiencies for higher productivity. These can also be achieved by implementing a training model that develops employee’s skills and knowledge so that they become the specialists in their work areas. This sentiment underpins the concept of employee Training and Assessment Register (TAR). Purpose: This study evaluates the influence of TAR on productivity in automotive parts manufacturing organisation in South Africa. Motivation for the study: The South African manufacturing sector has a low level of productivity compared to its counterpart industries in the Asian and Western countries. The sector experiences the lack in short to medium term growth in productivity. Research design, approach and methods: The automotive parts manufacturing company that has used a TAR strategy for productivity improvement participated in the study. The study objectives were achieved by examining the production and related experiences in the company. The collection of data was carried out in two phases. This includes the collection of pre- and post-quarterly data for spoilage, overtime and customer complaints. The pre-TAR results were quarterly data reflecting the company’s performance over the three-year period prior to the implementation of TAR. This company operates in the eThekwini District Municipality in KwaZulu-Natal. Main findings: The results established that spoilage rate has a relationship with company productivity. Any decrease in spoilage rate would result to an increase in company productivity. However, the overtime and customer complaints do not statistically have a relationship with company productivity. Contribution: This article uncovers the strengths and weaknesses of TAR on productivity in the automotive parts manufacturing organisation in South Africa.

培训和评估登记册（TAR）对南非汽车零部件制造组织生产率的影响

方向：组织面临员工提高生产力的能力挑战。他们实施提高员工技能水平以提高生产力的策略。这些也可以通过实施培训模型来实现，该模型可以发展员工的技能和知识，从而使他们成为工作领域的专家。这种观点巩固了员工培训和评估登记册（TAR）的概念。目的：本研究评估了TAR对南非汽车零件制造组织中生产率的影响。研究的动机：与亚洲和西方国家的同行产业相比，南非制造业的生产力水平较低。该部门的生产率缺乏中短期的增长。研究设计，方法和方法：使用TAR策略提高生产率的汽车零部件制造公司参加了该研究。通过检查公司的生产和相关经验来实现研究目标。数据收集分两个阶段进行。这包括收集季度前和季度后的数据，以进行损坏，加班和客户投诉。TAR前的结果是反映TAR实施前三年内公司业绩的季度数据。该公司在夸祖鲁-纳塔尔省的eThekwini District市运营。主要发现：结果表明，损坏率与公司生产率有关。损坏率的任何降低都会导致公司生产率的提高。然而，统计上，加班和客户投诉与公司生产力没有关系。贡献：本文揭示了南非汽车零部件制造组织中TAR在生产率方面的优缺点。
