Utilizing Training Management Information Systems to Improve the Performance of Training Management

Nowadays, several companies require their employees to continuously improve their skills. Those companies generally provide or facilitate various kinds of training programs that their workers must follow. However, unfortunately, there are still companies that do not manage the training process well. For example, the company that became the case study for this study still uses manual methods in managing its training activities. Even though the company is quite large and operates in the field of research and development of cars, the company only uses Microsoft Excel and WhatsApp in managing its training. That method raises several problems such as the lack of transparency of training data, the possibility that employees forget the training schedule, the possibility that training history is inaccurate, and making training reports takes a long time. Therefore, the company developed a system called the Training Management Information System (TAMIS) to improve the performance of its training management. TRAMIS is a web-based application that can help improve training management by making it easier for employees to view their training plans, training schedules, and training history. In addition, it also makes it easier for training facilitators to see participants who can attend training, makes it easier to do training reminders for potential training participants, makes it easier to see participants who attend training (attendance), and makes it easier to make training achievement reports of employees as needed. The results of this study indicated that the system had been successfully created. In addition, it can be shown that the training management process is more efficient than before, where the total processing time is reduced from 114 hours to only 4.09 hours. The results of this research can be a consideration for researchers or practitioners who will develop similar systems in the future.
