Nearly all of the companies active in aquaculture are Small and Medium size Enterprises (SMEs) and/or family businesses and this publication encompasses a broad procedure for reviewing production and management processes for such SMEs. Summaries of technical, financial and marketing performance parameters are included in order to assist understanding the interconnecting elements that are important for successful business operation.
The desired result of this auto-review is the preparation of an action plan that interacts with and corresponds to specific company objectives, forming an integral part of the companyís development strategy. Completion of this should allow the SME to determine better its training needs, phasing these over time in line with practical requirements and financial resources.
The key to achieving a successful result from this analysis is developing a sound understanding of the companyís business objectives and needs and relating these to the development of an integrated training plan.
