Despite of the potential role played by production resources in manufacturing industries
in the developing countries, yet its effects on the production output is not well
documented in research and practices mainly in Tanzania context. This study sought to
assess the role of resources in production output in cement manufacturing industry.
Specifically, the study determined the effects of energy resources, human resources as
well the financial resources. A case study design was adopted in this study. The data for
this study were mainly collected using questionnaire and documentary review. Interview
guide was used to supplement the mentioned techniques. Regression model was used to
analyse the collected data. From the research findings it was found energy resources
such as thermal energy, coal EME energy have positive relationship with production
output. Thus energy resources contribute to the increase of production output. Likewise,
the study revealed positive relationship between the human resources and production
output. This implies that recruitment of workers with required qualifications and skills
enhance the production output. Lastly, the study also found that the financial resources
contribute positively to the improvement of production output in cement manufacturing
industry. Therefore effective utilization of financial resources increases production
output. To ensure that the resources are effectively utilized to increase production output
in manufacturing industry, it is recommended that, the top management should
cooperate with workers and motivate them, ensure that energy resources are accessible
and sustainable for smooth production in the industry. It is also recommended that there
should financial control mechanism in the organization to ensure effective utilization
financial resources to increase production output |
