We need to plan for it. At the governmental level, we need to set our goals towards achieving industrialization, and then become an information economy. Once this goal is set, there needs to be a campaign to change the population's mindset, their aims and ambitions. Unfortunately, at the governmental level, we are obsessed with showing people power on the GT Road.

At the governmental level, schemes such as Benazir Scheme and whatnots is conditioning the people into thinking that success in life is blind faith and support of the political party which will feed you and look after you. People should be ready to come out on the streets. We are a nation that thrives in Dharnas, because political parties invest millions in providing food, water, security, seating arrangements in rallies. This is what we are doing to our nation.

That won't change until you get altruistic and highly educated people into government.

Exactly. And *NONE* of the current politicians fit the bill.

Hi the biggest thing which we all are forgetting intellect based products such as raw talent i.e Made in Pakistan serving all across the world by being a raw material to some of the most sophisticated supply chains .I would rather bet on intellect based products than just making parts by destroying our local environment and consuming resources ,the world moves around value based products .

And what do we get from this? Foreign exchange inflows that don't make much of a dent in our deficits? We need a manufacturing base within the country to increase our exports and invest in research, defence, and improving quality of life.

Hi by wasting Billions in importing and after wasting billions in producing with bad quality and insufficient R&D i will take 20 billion $ of remittance every day of the year , you failed to understand the concept of intellect economy or product e.g

Tony blair saying that UK earns more from Rock n Roll sale then combined coal mining and selling .

You cannot skip levels. The UK produces the EJ-200 as well. They have the fundamentals in place. The biggest example of what happens when you skip to a services based economy without a solid manufacturing base is America which is only thriving because they hold the big stick and print dollars for the rest of the world. They don't have enough jobs fof everyone and the difference between rich and poor is only getting bigger.

Oh, BTW, between the lines you have implied that Pakistanis are too dumb to create any meaningful products that can sell in the world market.

This is what is needed to design a product from scratch:

1. Materials Engineering: The knowledge of various materials, their properties, manufacturing techniques, and ability to produce them locally.

2. Mechanical Engineering: The knowledge of how to combine the materials in 1 to make a useful product. The various forces that act on structures, what stresses are faced by them. Knowledge of welds, joins, and their properties.

2a. Structural Engineering: For products that face a high degree of stresses, such as vibrations, the specialized branch of structural engineering studies techniques to predict and control these stresses. It is not only related to construction, but also applies to aircrafts, missiles, rockets etc.

3. Electrical/Electronics Engineering: Control systems to electronically control the movement of mechanical structures in 2.

4. (Electro)Optical Engineering: In products such as LEDs, LCDs, gun sights, the disciplines of electronics and optics come together.

5. Systems Engineering and Design: To take a product requirement, translate it into sub-projects for individual engineering teams, coordinate their synchronization, bringing it all together into the final product. To consider things such an usability, user friendliness, safety, etc.

There is much, much more. I don't think we have any of this in the public sector. In the military domain, we might be at initial stages in some of them.

We need an organized governmental initiative to bring us to this level. It ain't gonna happen by itself.

I did my education in 2 foreign universties with good reputation, one had a modest amount of Pakistanis but most of them took business courses, and a very small percentage did anything related to STEM, out of the people who did STEM degree, some went back to Pakistan and are currently working for Daddy's company with less than desirable grades. In the other institution, i was probably the only Pakistani in that year. I have seen good research papers from people in Pakistan however, based on my observation, the people who could afford a foreign degree prefer to stay away from STEM because business is relatively easier.

What in your opinion is a solid manufacturing base? in the 90s, manufacturing sector had most number of employees in almost 40 states in US

man you are going to ruine Dawlance, people will stop buying if they come to know this
LOL
i am serious
pakistani mentality

 

[AZADPAKISTAN2009]

Pakistan had always manufactured goods locally inside Pakistan

a) Food products , eatables and raw spices, packaging etc
b) Sports good of all sorta , every imaginable sports goods
c) Textiles and clothese of all kind
---------------------------------------------------------------------
d) Home appliances (Washers , Stoves , Fridges , Freezers etc, toasters (not common due to electricity issue))
e) Shoes manufacturing some of the most elegant shoes produceds locally real leather and real stuff.

However the problem is we did not capatalized on the future industries in 70's

• The heavy industry was kept down in 80's and 90's , car manufacturing , ship construction or aero space
• We did not expand in the technology sector (Cell phone manufacturing , computer mother boards, chips research and Computer & laptops again reason being ? Why research and develop when you can import from Japan)
  
• Past 50 years , since 1970 we have not designed 1 single car with locally produced Engine
• We are so far behind in Engineering sector that there are no projects to do for our engineering graduates , who end up moving to Middle east to do trivial projects
• We are behind on machine tools, or advance tool design for engineering tasks
  
• We can't even engineer a supply chain system to process eggs from farm , it has to be IMPORTED from outside

Chinese origin?

Dawlance and PEL are around long before thee emerganceof Chinese manufecturing. we bought Dawlance refrigrator more than 30 years ago

I went to Pakistan twice this year, last time I went I was interested in knowing how much of a middle class house is Pakistan in made, three households that I observed, more than 95% had Pakistani products, only few small speciality items were of foreign origin...more notably lectricity generator which has a huge market in Pakistan then I wonder why no local manufecturer has come forward...other thing I noticed is people dont mind buying Pakistani products and are satisfied with the quality

 

[AZADPAKISTAN2009]

What many people may not know there was a time in 70's where our Industrial power or manufacturing was decent at Asian level

* If we need to setup a industry it has to be imported from outside
* If we need to setup a plane to fly the engine has to be imported from outside
* If we need to sell a call 90% of car has to come from outside or it's engine
* Our trains , are similarly all dependent on engines from outside the countries
* Trucks , Buses and every imaginable engineering item all from outside

I know you are trying to impress us with your knowledge but we are talking about washing machine and fridges. bring me a compressor and I can have a welder put togather a fridge in a half decent workshop.

Try exporting that to the international market.

Americans have systematically outsourced manufacturing. The theory was as they advance in development, menial things such as manufacturing can be outsourced where labor is cheaper while their own economy becomes information based. What actually happened is business interests sought cheaper alternatives and the information economy was even easier to outsource than manufacturing. And the problem with a services based economy is you don't export anything. Services are mostly utilized within the country itself.

Automobile Vendor Industry in Pakistan.

With a registered membership base of over 278 “tier one” parts manufacturers out of over 1200 industries, PAAPAM has under its wings part makers of Cars, Motorcycles, Tractors, Trucks and Buses, who represent multinational companies of repute, including Toyota, Honda, Suzuki, Hino, Nissan, Hyundai,etc. Investments in place in the industry now exceed US$ 1.5 billion.

Mission:

PAAPAM’s mission is to build a competitive edge in the local automotive parts industry by maximizing local content and by creating an environment which is conducive to innovation & rapid modernization and is in sync with latest Research and Development.

We need to plan for it. At the governmental level, we need to set our goals towards achieving industrialization, and then become an information economy. Once this goal is set, there needs to be a campaign to change the population's mindset, their aims and ambitions. Unfortunately, at the governmental level, we are obsessed with showing people power on the GT Road.

At the governmental level, schemes such as Benazir Scheme and whatnots is conditioning the people into thinking that success in life is blind faith and support of the political party which will feed you and look after you. People should be ready to come out on the streets. We are a nation that thrives in Dharnas, because political parties invest millions in providing food, water, security, seating arrangements in rallies. This is what we are doing to our nation.

So happy to see that our country is moving in the right direction, there is indeed a lot of work yet to be done, but I believe that we should focus on export oriented industrialisation,and on reaching as close to industrial self sufficiency as possible, this means that most of the products meant to be sold in the country would be produced locally and we would be able to export finished or unfinished products for economic growth.

The initiatives that I propose are:
1)Legislative reform to make Pakistan an attractive destination for companies to set up factories and production units, some measures could be:
*Lowering regulations and tax rates
*Subsidising the import of industrial machinery
*Establishing export oriented agreements with targeted countries(e.g.
FTAs etc
*Requiring all export products to have a small sticker that says "High Quality Product - Made in Pakistan" in the language of the country we are exporting to.
2)An Awareness campaign to advertise the attractivenes of our country as an industrial hub, we can seek inspiratin from other programs such as 'Invest in Germany' , 'Invest in Macedonia' , or even the Make In India campaign.

3)The creation of proper,unpoliticicized 'state corporations'. Russia has some of these such as Rostech( for local technological productiona dn export) , Gazprom(petroleum and oil sales) etc , these state corporations will not only boost our exports even when the private sector can't but they will also raise revenue for the state, hence taxes can be lowered on ordinary Pakistanis, stimulating economic growth.

I have a lot more in mind, and I can write on each of the above points in great detail, should I write a series of articles on this topic?
