1 The Role of Standards in IndustrializationKEBS/UNIDO/012006-11-22

“The MSE’s are the engine behind

economies and drivers

for Industrializat

ion processes”


Introduction….Introduction….Standardization contributes not only to international trade but also to the basic infrastructure that underpins society, including health and environment, while promoting sustainable development, and

Sustainable development is the development that meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability for the future generation to meet their needs

MSE Cry: “Without me, my country is not complete”

The Vision 2030The Vision 2030The President of the Republic of Kenya has

given a vision

“VISION 2030”

Kenya should be a prosperous country by the year 2030

This vision should be envisaged in Standardization because without standards no country could be industrialized

The Ministry of Trade and Industry is engaged in programs that lead to Industrialization in the short run given the pressure from WTO.


Role of Standardization…Role of Standardization…

2.0 Standardization therefore:

Brings out competitiveness

National securities – through technologies that reduce dependence on foreign resources

Improve quality of life and thus maintain the human resource

Provides opportunity to take market leads

Ensures quality in production and performance – ability to revolutionize improvement in quality


Role of Standardization…Role of Standardization…2.1 Standardization and

competitiveness:

The degree to which a nation can produce goods and services that meet the test of international markets while simultaneously maintaining or expanding the real incomes of its citizens.

Produce wide variety of products

Introduce new products

Modify existing products quickly

Respond to customer needs



2.2 Standardization and Technologies:

Specifies materials

Determines dimensions & tolerances

Defines appearance

Sets performance standards



2.3 Role of Quality in Production:

2.3.1 What is quality?

The degree of excellence of a thing” (Webster’s Dictionary)

“The totality of features and characteristics that satisfy needs” (American Society for Quality)

Fitness for use, that is usability (Deming)

Quality of design


Role of Standardization…Role of Standardization…2.3.2 Processes and Technologies

Craft production

On order, for individual customers

Mass production

High volume production of standardized products for a mass market

Emphasis on quantity produced & efficiency

Lean production

Adaptation of mass production to change in demand with emphasis on quality & flexibility (TQM & JIT)

Globalization

Companies compete worldwide for market access & production resources


Role of Standardization…Role of Standardization…2.3.2 Processes and Technologies

Project

One-time production of product to customer order

Batch production

Process many jobs at same time in batch

Mass production

Produce large volumes of standard product for mass market

Continuous production

Very high volume commodity product

2.4 Standards and Consistency:

Consistent errors are easier to correct than random errors

Consumers prefer product characteristics near their ideal values


Role of Standardization…Role of Standardization…3.0 Present situation in Kenya Industry

Kenya Association of Manufacturers (KAM) about 500 members

KAM – Most of their production is highly dependent on imported technologies which are in themselves old technology and expensive in terms of running costs

Cottage / MSE industries – about 6,000 organizations with about 700,000 members

MSE industries – Most of their production seems to be stagnant and it is time for an industrial revolution


Role of Standardization… (Role of Standardization… (44))4.0 What then must we do if we

are to realize Vision 2030?

How can we move 2,000 -5,000 MSEs from Craft/project manufacturing to continuous mass production within 5 Years

From the backyard market to the global market through the regional market

Traditional Manufacturing must should focus on Manufacturing for the future .

Use of computer applications i.e. computer aided designs (CAD) and computer assisted manufacturing (CAM) should be the next step.

STANDARDIZATION IS A MUST IN ALL OUR PROCESSES!!!!


Way Forward… Way Forward…

5.0 Way Forward

KEBS, KIRDI, KIPI and the MSE Industries must work in partnership if we are to Industrialize.

The four organizations have already signed a joint MoU whose goal is to take the MSE Industries to the next step of Manufacturing


Way Forward… Way Forward…

5.0 Challenges faced:

An effective Standardization infrastructure is required to meet the measurement challenges required to meet health, safety and environmental considerations

Increased need to implement Compliance to Standards interventions to facilitate value addition to our locally sold products, exports, regional production (integration) and market access initiatives
