Introduction The following annotated bibliography includes the global manufacturing
sector; particularly the car manufacturing organizations. For this annotated
bibliography, I have chosen five different peer reviewed journals articles and
each them is on talent management in manufacturing sector. The first article is
about the talent management in manufacturing system using fuzzy logic
approaches, which mainly talks about how potentials talents in the organization
can be retained and managed using computing approaches where truth of fact
is based on its degree rather than only one variable. Likewise, the second
article which I have chosen is about succession planning and its impact on
small micro and medium size organization in the manufacturing sector.
Succession planning is a part of talent management which usually influence the
employees of small and medium size organizations. The third article is about
talent management in India and China; in this article, the authors have
presented a clear comparison of management perception and practices but the
major theme is talent management. The fourth article is about human resource
diversity management in the manufacturing sector and I have chosen this
article because diversity management is also a part of talent management.
Organizational members come from a different cultural backgrounds; thereby,
it is mandatory to identify how those members can be managed in a workplace.
Similarly, the fifth article is about determinants of quality management in the
manufacturing sector of New Zealand.

Paragraph 1:
Summarizing the main idea of the articles, identifying the hypothesis,
purpose, research methodology and conclusion
Manufacturing industry is one such industry where employee
attraction and retention are highly necessary. Moreover, human resource
remains as the most significant element in manufacturing organization as
organizational productivity highly depends on how the employees perform.
Thereby, attracting and retaining talent remain as a challenge for the
organizations in the manufacturing sector. The topic of this annotated
bibliography is about managing talents in manufacturing system using fuzzy
logic approach. Hence, the talent management in the article has been discussed
with considering the importance of retaining talents.
The major idea of the article is based on the fact that now days
manufacturing organizations have been working on the basis of people-
oriented approach. The manufacturing organizations understand the fact that
customer satisfaction cannot only be considered for external customers but it is
highly necessary for internal customer environment. Thereby, the author of the
article have mentioned that human resource is the most significant resource to
retain as well as vital for manufacturing firms with respect to customers,

managers and employees. The authors of this article have also stated that
retaining talents have become stiff job for the companies; rather this is a
challenge because the organizations in the manufacturing sector have observed
a regional shortage of talents. The purpose of the article is to develop a model
for examining the level of competency of employees. Based on the model, the
article develops a suitable method to enhance employee’s skills as the strategy
of retaining talents. In order to suggest the method, the authors have used a
fuzzy logic approach for managing talents in the domain of human resource.
Hypothesis
H0: Talent management cannot influence employee performance
H1: Talent management can influence employee performance
The article finds the conclusions that talent management often contributes to
remove waste of the organizations and support shelf improvement of the
employees.
Para 2: Criticizing the article and explaining it is useful to my study
Even though the findings of the article can be applied to manufacturing
organizations, the finding of the article is relevant to my domain of study-
attracting and retaining talents. I can use this finding in my further research
where I may need to develop an employee performance plan for the
organizations in any other sector. I can use the fuzzy logic approach when I
need to conduct an analysis with the context of human resource management.
Particularly, when I have to develop strategy of enhancing the human capital, I
