Manufacturing Overview:
Manufacturing is a broad term. Virtually any process that turns a raw material into a
finished product through use of a machine can be considered manufacturing. If you look
around at the objects strewn about the room in which you're currently sitting, you'll see
that quite a few things are manufactured. However, we can break down the types of
manufacturing based on what companies produce or by industry; how they produce them,
discrete or flow; and the level of engineering effort required to manufacture them. The
universe of manufacturing includes the galaxies of aerospace and defense, automobile
and transportation, chemicals and metals, consumer goods, electronics and high tech,
industrial and farm equipment, and medical and biotech. Generally, sectors that involve
technology and are less mature-especially biotech and medical manufacturing-are highgrowth opportunities, whereas those that have reached maturity-chemical and metals, for
instance-are waning and have seen much of their growth exported overseas.
Manufacturing companies typically emphasize materials management and sourcing
functions. Additionally, the majority of overseas opportunities reside with manufacturing
firms.

Custom Metalwork and Fabrication service

A. The team comes up with this idea during our brainstorming for business prospects.
Many ideas and suggestion are generated but we arrived in this business by these
reasons:
1. Relation to the course.
It is the primary criteria we considered in choosing our business. Since we are ME and all
graduate of MET, fabrication shop is an ideal business to establish. We all had a
background on how the process and work goes and most of us had experience to work in
a fabrication shop.
2. Wide range of the products/service that can be catered.
Custom Metalwork and Fabrication shop is a flexible business when it comes in servicing
customer needs; it does variety of products that can be offered to customers.
3. Familiarity of work.
During our MET years, we experience to do shop works and use different machines that
are related to this business. The things that the business do is not something new to us,
since we have learned and experienced it before.
B. Competiveness in the market
There are a lot of business alike that are present in the industry but what makes our
proposed business differs from them are:

Quality
At JLPAC, we specialize in the manufacture of precision metal and machined in
order to provide our clients with faster and more cost-effective services while

maintain the highest quality standards.

Economical Price
JLPAC is able to fabricate wider, larger, and heavier custom products than any
custom metal shop. It allows our customer to save both labor and material
costs. Also, we reduce add-on customer transportation costs by eliminating the
need to partially finished components or products to other or even multiple,
vendors to provide all the needs fabrication services.

Design Assistance
Projects that seem impossible, or unusually difficult, excite our design and
engineering staff. We communicate electronically via e-mail to make it easier

to share ideas. We will take a primary design and provided finished shop
drawings for our customers or use the drawing they can provide, offering
suggestions to make the production more cost-effective.

Quality Material Access

Advantage fabricated Metals maintains strategic quality standards, among
these are:
Prime Materials only: We uses prime steel and aluminum products.
Every product or custom component we fabricate is accompanied by

mill certification reports, documenting the quality of the metal.

Process Control: Every product is checked for gauge, length, width,

coverage, surface quality, squareness and correct count.

Reliable Sources: We only purchase metals from major producers
ensuring traceability, verifiable quality and on-going supply.

The Big Comeback: the resurgence of manufacturing in the Philippines (2010-2016)
From the doldrums
In 2010, there was a sense of resignation in the manufacturing sector that had witnessed a
series of declines for nearly three decades. In the decade of 2000 to 2010 average annual
growth of the sector was only 4% with a recent contraction of -4.4% in 2009 due to the
effects of the global financial crisis. The common perception is that there was no
manufacturing activity left in the country, or at least nothing significantly enough to talk
about. The new administration announced their priorities, namely agriculture, tourism and
services. Manufacturing, maybe
Re-awakening
Economists and industry stalwarts tirelessly reminded us that manufacturing is the main
driver of the economy. To step up the advocacy, the private sector organized
manufacturing summits to increase awareness for strategic importance of manufacturing

in the Philippines. The first summit was somewhat discouraging as experts described the
dismal performance of the sector, but awareness was created. We started by taking stock
of what we still had, a large electronics and semiconductor sector, a resilient and diverse
food manufacturing sector and a number of smaller yet successful sub-sectors with unintegrated niches. More summits were conducted, and success stories started emerging,
policy makers were engaged and slowly perceptions changed.
Recognizing the need to get organized and the potential of the industry in the new
Philippine economy, the government and private sector collaborated through road
mapping exercises, some led by the private sector, some prodded by the government.
Seminars were held, summits, workshops and technical working groups. Government
leaders started talking about prioritizing manufacturing. The media caught on, then public
perception changed rapidly. Analyst, first local, and then international started talking
about a manufacturing revival in the Philippines.
Rapid growth
By 2013, the Philippine manufacturing sector experienced double digit growth, becoming
one of the fastest among major Asian economies. From a handful of industry roadmaps,
the manufacturing sector would eventually generate over 30 roadmaps. Government
supported both small and large sub-sectors, even extending to agri and agribusiness
subsectors. As these exercises became visible and public, individual investors gained
confidence that manufacturing is a sector that government will support and that
government now has a better understanding of its needs.
Industry champions from the manufacturing sector sectors emerged, and partnered with a
government champion in the BOI. The BOI was full of industry development activity, as
a series of industry groups poured into the BOI building to conduct meetings and
workshops with their counterparts. The government even boosted their capabilities by
recruiting PhDs from the academe and the research community to help sectoral
champions in their roadmaps and by harnessing global experts from international
development agencies.
What weve achieved in 6 years

From 2010 to 2015, the manufacturing sector has added Php 738 Billion in gross valued
added reaching Php 2.7 trillion GVA at current prices, growing an average of 7.3% per
annum, nearly double the annual growth rate of the previous decade. We still have a
couple of quarters to measure but the growth is not expected to be any less. More
importantly, manufacturing labor productivity gained a huge 30% increase (based on
GVA current prices) from 2010 to 2014 after plateauing in previous decades. Foreign
direct investments in manufacturing, excluding reinvestments and debt instruments reach
US$ 3.1 billion in the last 5 years. In 2015, approved foreign direct investments reach
Php 135 billion pesos, representing 55% of all approved FDIs in that year. Domestic
investments which are harder to quantify yielded countless expansions and green field
projects. The manufacturing sectors also delivered landmark investments like the first
naphtha cracker in the Philippines, new and upgraded oil refineries and two nickel
refineries, just to name a few.
Lets remember though that a lot of investments, huge billion peso investments were
made by bold investors not just because of our industry policy, our roadmaps and
manufacturing summits. They were made because of favorable market forces, strong
macro-economic fundamentals, the change in production cost in China, and so many
other factors. But I would like to add that the combined effort of private sector and
government in making the sector a prioritized sector have reinforced investors
confidence to make those big investments in the country.

The path forward

After 5 years, weve established a track record of growth, but the road ahead is still very
long. Will we reached a manufacturing share of 30% of GDP? Will we increase our
manufacturing workforce from 3 million to 7 million workers? Will we gain the needed
diversification of our manufacturing sub-sector to have a balanced portfolio of low,
medium and high tech sectors? Will we continue to be competitive versus our neighbors?
Can we bridge the infrastructure gap? Can we make it a truly inclusive industry and not
just for the big boys? It all depends on our next steps.

Government and private sector has started to institutionalize a new industry policy,
sectoral road mapping and the manufacturing resurgence program. That is a big step.
what more should we do?
(1) We need to implement our sectoral roadmaps, in collaboration with the new
administration.
(2) With STEM education in high school as a new enabler for the industry, we should
continue and expand TESDA training and factory internship rapidly increase our talent
pool for manufacturing.
(3) We must engage the research community to make innovation a more important driver
of our growth.
(4) We must lay down strategic enablers like the infrastructure-manufacturing
convergence, including special domestic zones for manufacturing.
(5) We must continue to bring down the barriers to investors so domestic and foreign
investments will continue and accelerate, with new investments integrating with previous
ones, or making new paths into new sectors.
(6) With new government leadership, we should prioritize the integration of MSME into
the manufacturing sector.
(7) And finally, industry champions and government partners must continue to lead and
accelerate the growth of the manufacturing sector in pursuit of inclusive and sustainable
growth of the Philippines.
