ABSTRACT
This study has examined the efficient in manufacturing companies in Enugu state. The selected companies were ANAMMCO, PRODA AND SUNRISE. The research design used for this research work was descriptive research design.
The questionnaire was the instrument distributed to the participants which was later retrieved. Frequencies, arithmetic means, standard deviations and statics were used to analyze the data. The findings of the study, showed that availability of raw material significantly enhance production.
When the raw materials are available at the needed time, it is easy for manufacturing firms to meet production targets. However, another finding of this study is that adequate financial base enhances production.
cannot function effectively or even produced goods without adequate capital. Based on the findings of this study, the researcher recommends as follows; there is a need to ensure that raw materials are available when needed.
Thus, management should give production a priority in the manufacturing firms by ensuring that vitally needed raw materials are provided.
Above all, management should endeavor to keep abreast of , taxes, tariffs which greatly influence production especially ANAMMCO, which relies partly on foreign spare parts for production.

INTRODUCTION
Production can be defined as the process by which good and services are created. It is a process by which a set of desired inputs is converted into a set of desired output. Production includes all activities wherein something of value is created.
It includes services such as those provided by hospitals, universities, insurances etc. manufacturing, on the other hand, refers to production of tangible goods such as books, automobiles and food products.
In the evolution days, production was, in a sense, almost an isolated function many companies. It jobs was, to take the and produce a product. Whether the product was accepted or not, there were barriers, in communication and cooperativeness between manufacturing and other functions of the company.
Since production entails employment of the , utilization of the physical assets and engagement of the bulk of the financial resources; pressures in the organization great; failure to deliver, an idle machine, a line of an unsafe process all demand attention in order to attain the corporate objectives.
