Is there a future for UK Manufacturing?


Creating and Sustaining Performance Improvement


Catalyst for Change I.M.V.P. - MIT’s International Motor Vehicle Programme

5DAYCAR / ILIPT Programme

Disseminating research ideas & results to other industries

UK L.A.I. with MIT Lean Aerospace Initiative

A.C.I. - Agile Construction Initiative

LFI Lean Flight Initiative


Creating Wealth

 Manufacturing  Agriculture  Mining


Why Manufacturing ? KEY TO SUSTAINED GROWTH 5 Unique Characteristics

 Infinite Demand for Manufactured Goods  Drives Innovation and Technical Change  Powerful Internal Dynamic - Drives other Sectors  Generates Exports - Balance of Payments  Creates High Value Jobs and Support Industries

The BIG BANG ! 1986 Deregulation of Financial Markets

2008 Collapse of Lehman Brothers


The “Lending Game” finally stops.. ! September 2008

 Takeover of Merrill Lynch by Bank of America  ‘Nationalization’ of Fannie Mae & Freddie Mac – 50% of the $12 trillion mortgage market in the US

   

Bank of England offers £5 billion emergency lending £50 billion wiped off London shares FTSE 100 FALLS over 212 points Lehman London (over 5000 job losses) – highest since Rover


The “Lending Game” finally stops.. ! September 2008

 UK has £175 billion budget deficit (£1.3 trillion by 2014)

 HM Treasury spent £117 billion buying bank shares

 UK taxpayers liable for £850 billion of liabilities  Family liability £5,530 to £40,000 !  WW II debt repaid – December 2006


What is to be done  Financial Institutions ?  Knowledge Economy ?  Manufacturing?


The Knowledge Economy Delusion The Myth:

“ Economy based on creating, evaluating & trading knowledge ” “ The UK sells knowledge and makes nothing - but has skills that other countries will pay for ”

The Reality: “ China & India train more than

500,000 Engineering graduates per year and the UK train 20,000”

“ The Steam Engine was the Knowledge Economy! ”
