The research methodology, focuses on the instrument used for data collection which were mainly questionnaires and oral interview i.e. primary and secondary data respectively. Determination of sample size was possible through the help of stratified random sampling technique. The stratification was based on the ANAMMCO staff. The suitable research method used was the survey research and the design was randomised.
Under method of data analysis, tables and percentages were used in the presentation and analysis of the collected data. In the findings the following were discovered, that the people could have adequate training of the office machines.
1.0 INTRODUCTION
1.1 Background of the Study
There has been an enormous increase in office machines awareness manufacture and utilization all over the world. The invention of the office machines is regarded as one of the three great scientific developments in the world today. The first scientific development is probably the nuclear energy, which, at Hiroshima and Nagazaka shocked the world. The second being the discovery of mains capacity to travel in space. But the advent of computer industry seems to top them all. The modern computer represents a fundamental advancement in computation. The precision with which it accepts and processes data information baffles the imagination of man even though it was man who invented it many have characterized our time a transition from the industrial age to the information age.
In addition to computers, other office machines or communication technologies in the economy today include telex, facsimate machine, cable and satellite television etc. Advancement in computer communication technologies (information transfers) affects the way we live, work and see the world. All these machines are used to create, manipulate and manage information faster and more easily than with any other systems.
In turn we use the information so produced to calculate communicate and make decisions. The great increase of white cover workers is legendary and most of them concentrate on producing information and/ or consuming it. The growth of government equally lends further importance to information, since government at all level is a voracious consumer of data, while turning out huge amounts of statistical information. Information in the form of specialized knowledge.
We \can see that the role office machines play in modern business cannot be over emphasized.
The Anambra motor manufacturing company (ANAMMCO) was established in late seventies with the registration number for incorporation of business RC 20/06. The company are into manufacturing of trucks and luxurious buses, as well as motor parts. The corporate headquarter of the company is situated along Airport road Emene, Enugu. The company also provide expertise advise to other motor parts manufacturing companies in Nigeria.
1.2 STATEMENTS OF PROBLEM
As discussed in the beginning, there are many advantages of using office machines in modern business. In business,. People would like to use these machines to facilitate all the business transactions. ANAMMCO is one of the big companies known in Nigeria. Over the years, this company has been using office machines to carryout its activities. The research therefore seek to re-examine and re-appraise the important of office machines to Anambra Motor manufacturing company (ANAMMCO) in other words it will, look into now these machines will help the company to break even in it’s manufacturing business.
1.3 RESEARCH OBJECTIVE
The Objectives of this research is to evaluate the past and present benefits of office machines to Anambra motor manufacturing. And from the analysis determine the following:-
a. Whether the nature of sales is as a result of this office machines.
b. How far has this office machines facilitate business.
c. If this have a far reaching implications on the company’s activities.
d. Other factors, that are likely to act as impediments to the use of office machines.
1.4 HYPOTHESIS FORMULATION
For this study, the following hypothesis would be tested.
Ho: Office machines proved more effective in the business activities of the company.
Hi: Sales will not improve in future, where there is further improvements in the use of modern office machines.
1.5 SIGNIFICANCE OF STUDY
Most Nigeria’s manufacturers do not understand the need for the use of the modern office machines in business. Students and research fellows on the topic and indeed and well meaning members of the accounting profession should increase the use of office machines.
The main functions of office machines
to provide information

Help to keep information in order as well as facilitating business. Anambra Motor manufacturing company Plc, Emene, Enugu introduced to some people the modern office machines that seem to have helped the company to maintain a steady relationship with it’s customers in and out of the country.
The research study will aid the already work in this field. It will also help the researcher advice the company of any lapses that he may dictate.
1.6 SCOPE OF THE STUDY
In view of this, the study is based in Nigeria and the research is carried have in Enugu where the company is.
