My recent visit to Kariobangi light industries (where I did my research), the products are still the same yet the World has changed. We still import such simple things as bolts and nuts from China. These are some of the things we can very easily manufacture with simple software. Practically the entire world has moved to Computer aided Manufacturing (CAM) where they easily generate 3D models of components. It is so simple that in one month we can start manufacturing bicycles and car parts here in Kenya. <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoPlainText><span lang=FR-CA>With 19th century technology they manufacture brake pads and disks in Kariobangi.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoPlainText><span lang=FR-CA><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoPlainText><span lang=FR-CA>Let me get back to the reason why I am writing this post. In that audience was an Indian National who went back to his country and gave the story. Yesterday I got a call from Ministry of Foreign Affairs that some Indian industry group wanted to see me urgently. I gave them an appointment for today early morning. Their inquiry was whether we had started the application of additive manufacturing, popularly referred to as 3D printing. Although I was stunned by the speed at which the Indians reacted to my speech, I was able to probe why they developed the interest.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoPlainText><span lang=FR-CA> I gathered that the Indian Government is developing six locations to set up fabrication laboratories to help with industrialization of their country. And that India’s product quality has consistently improved to the extent that Kenya’s leading import destination is India (see today’s Business Daily).<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoPlainText><span lang=FR-CA><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoPlainText><span lang=FR-CA>Wikipedia tells me that as with other “Computer-Aided” technologies, CAM does not eliminate the need for skilled professionals such as manufacturing engineers, Numerical Control (NC) programmers, or machinists. CAM, in fact, leverages both the value of the most skilled manufacturing professionals through advanced productivity tools, while building the skills of new professionals through visualization, simulation and optimization tools.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoPlainText><span lang=FR-CA><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoPlainText><span lang=FR-CA>Our Numerical Machine Complex lies underutilized. We make a few lathes there when we can scale up and provide all of our spare parts requirements including exports to regional countries. This will improve on our exports to African countries. We can run it 24/7 and keep our Jua Kali busy with assembly of exportable products.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoPlainText><span lang=FR-CA><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoPlainText><span lang=FR-CA>Can we wake up?<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoPlainText><span lang=FR-CA><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoPlainText><span lang=FR-CA>Ndemo.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoPlainText><span lang=FR-CA><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoPlainText><span lang=FR-CA><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoPlainText><span lang=FR-CA><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoPlainText><span lang=FR-CA><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoPlainText><span lang=FR-CA>> That same report said 80% of people receive mobile advertising positively.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoPlainText><span lang=FR-CA>><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoPlainText><span lang=FR-CA>> Amazing that i don't know any of them.
