III. MANUFACTURING

Encouragement of tourist and manufacturing activities

The industrial sector includes manufacturing, mining, and utilities.

To date there has been little manufacturing abroad.

Manufacturing value added (billions of dollars)

Programme Component D.1 Competitive Manufacturing

The industrial sector, especially manufacturing, continues to be the main driver of growth in the region.

UNIDO's energy efficiency programme addresses the fact that industry is one of the biggest users of energy.

Manufacturing and software were selected because they are the two largest investors from the Indian economy.

Agriculture and manufacturing activities continue to play a secondary role.

The territorial Government reports that the manufacturing sector is still in its infancy.

This involves blueprints, industrial manufacturing and construction using teams of workers.

But in other companies I've seen, for sure. So, in manufacturing, they abandoned that linear way of working.

But that's still a little bit vague. And so the next step in lean manufacturing was to focus on cycle time.

Growth was broadly based in most countries, and manufacturing, in particular, benefited from the upturn in the electronics cycle and strong export demand.

Other structure options that had been considered, such as the elimination of a manufacturing aggregate at the top level, were rejected.

The manufacturing growth rate had risen to 9.2 per cent in the previous six months.

Both the manufacturing and construction sectors lost their importance as major sources of employment and income.

(a) the methods and economics of the manufacturing process for the goods or of the construction methods or of the services provided

Major sectors of the Jamaican economy include agriculture, mining, manufacturing, tourism, and financial and insurance services.

The local manufacturing sector includes printing, fish processing, ship repair, tourist related crafts and the manufacture of paint.

Overall, the service sector has been growing, whereas manufacturing as a whole is contracting.

It has benefited 2,214 women wage earners in the maquiladora industry in the State of Coahuila (in addition to the training given to 750 men in maquiladora enterprises in that State) and 428 women in the informal sector in Guerrero State.

The manufacturing, commerce, transport and communication, insurance and real estate sectors employ, in sum, 13 per cent of the workforce.

It provided hope throughout the complex and transformative decolonization process.

FDI is negligible in primary activities and low in manufacturing. An exception is Mexico, from which relatively more outward FDI has been in manufacturing.

However, manufacturing's contribution to job creation is historically lower than job creation in agriculture and services.

For manufacturing SINTNCs, venturing into North America enabled them to become a truly global player in their respective industries.

47. The economic diversification index (EDI) consists of four variables the proportion of the labour force in industry, the share of manufacturing in GDP, per capita electricity consumption and the export concentration index.

This decline was a consequence of the decrease in the share of manufacturing activities in Singapore's GDP in the same period.

In the manufacturing industry, this reputation as a TNC is equally important in a bargaining context.

37. The manufacturing and agriculture sectors in the Territory exist on a limited scale and therefore contribute little to the economy of the Territory.

UNIDO was contributing both to job creation and a conducive environment for investment in the agricultural and manufacturing sectors of industry.

4. Recognizes the need for increasing the integration of African industry in world manufacturing and, for that purpose, calls for the support of the international community in achieving the goals of the Second Industrial Development Decade for Africa

42. Technology is no longer a determinate and static component of manufacturing as with human resources, it is a variable in the production process that can be changed, improved and modified through innovative management.

In the industrial and manufacturing sectors, women were emerging as a greater force on account of economic pressures and the expanded scope created in various manufacturing industries, such as garments, textiles, electronics, frozen food, packaging and processing.

This reason is equally important for both manufacturing and service SINTNCs.

Hence, major attention was given to enhancing the international competitiveness of the manufacturing industry by stimulating the private sector and promoting foreign investment and technology.

35. The manufacturing sector consists of small scale production units, including electronic assembly, textile, furniture, leather and agro processing plants.

Manufacturing is likely to be most vulnerable, and this will be intensified by policies pushing for rapid trade liberalization in the context of weak state support for local industry.

It is followed by the manufacturing sector, which consists of petroleum refining, textiles, electronics, pharmaceuticals and watch and jewellery assembly.22

12. The manufacturing sector comprises a number of small scale enterprises, centred on the assembly of electronic components and the production of garments, textiles and leather and plastic goods.

Activities include design, production of prototypes, testing of the rolling stock and systems and training of Indian engineers in manufacturing, testing and maintenance techniques.

Increased investments in the manufacturing sector, as well as a very good agricultural season, also contributed to Jordan apos s good performance.

Apart from Iraq and Kuwait, where manufacturing activities have focused mainly on reconstruction and restoration works, industrial performance in the region remained strong.
