Auto industry pains calls for promoting local skills, alternative supply chains
Industries should set up vocational institutes to prepare highly skilled workers
Islamabad: [May 08]
The Pakistan Economy Watch (PEW) on Sunday said that natural disasters in Japan have proved fateful for Pakistan's auto industry that continue to rely heavily on imported components.
Unable to tackle shortage of parts and keep production, Pakistan's carmakers are facing serious problems and heavy losses, it said.
Car manufacturers should plan transfer of technology, revisit import strategies and engage multiple suppliers located in different countries to avoid such situation in future, said Dr. Murtaza Mughal, President PEW.
Over 1000 original equipment manufacturers, auto vendors, high tech engine parts producers and transmission parts fabricators in Japan have experienced the adverse impact of disaster which will translated into overall loss of around twenty billion rupees to local auto manufacturers, an estimate suggests.
The situation demands that the local industry should learn the importance of better planning and distributed operations, said Dr. Murtaza Mughal. Automakers can no more afford the luxury to avoid the trend towards localism in manufacturing, he added.
Automakers should promote localisation to reduce dependence on imports and seek alternative sources for critical parts that are not available locally, he advised.
Local auto assemblers should learn to adapt, ensure transfer their knowledge, expertise and latest methodologies to remain competitive which cannot be without pains, he said.
He said that any problem with a foreign contractor needs weeks and month to arrive at a solution while such an issue need few hours to settle if the service provider is based locally, he said.
Productivity, capacity utilization, management techniques, costs, skill up-gradation, training, transparency and quality are some issues that need to be resolved urgently.
Private sector industries should set up their own vocational institutes to prepare highly skilled workers, he opined.
If Pakistani technicians can produce parts for Boeing, why they cannot do it for cars, he asked adding that only lacking element is proper patronage.
Dr. Murtaza Mughal also questioned role of various state-run organisations that take pride in their foreign-supported industry support programmes that proved to be of no use at this critical juncture.
Masses are paying for the mishaps and decisions of elite that has renewed demands for a review on the structure of high import duties, he said.

In contrast, the non-organic gardener is more likely to use chemically created fertilizers.
Native plants or at least plants adapted to similar conditions as your region will
have a better chance of growing and thriving. Organic gardening

Make sure you only use clean balls for playing on indoor simulator.
The reason that you should take a look at a Joana's Star - Craft 2 guide review is obvious. You can train up your hobo so that you can kill other hobos even more easily, and it is a very addicting game. Still, within each of these types of simulation games, certain games tend to rise to the top. This game allows players to take on a whole different side of themselves and express their wild side, or even the business man lurking in each of us.
In many cases, a person will reach a point where they desperately seek relief
and solutions for their issues. It needs to be rushed

Much of the Christmas celebration actually begins in the last week leading up to Christmas and this is the time
that the event s joined by those taken flights to Egypt from
UK and other places. When Muslims and Christians weren't in good terms, Christian monks believe to have escaped the persecution and found a shelter within the walls of the persecuted tombs and temples of ancient Egypt, but ironically, those monks have ripped many of the reliefs on those tombs because they distracted them from practicing their religion, not to mention that the reliefs represented "fake" religion that they didn't want to be associated with.
This is where the online websites play quite a vital role.
In just about every objective way that nations can be judged the US is losing the present.
Decorated coffins became still more important in the First Intermediate
Period (2181 2055 BC), when many tombs contained little mural decoration.
