Manufacturing Development to Improve Competitiveness Program: MDICP

Background
       The rapid changing of social conditions, today's economy and the environment including the globalization system has created a vast trade gap. Many manufacturing industries in Thailand cannot modify production technology, product creation, financial management, marketing and export to compete with other competing countries. Taking into account the facts of international trade, the troubleshooting root cause of export business is strengthening the production process to achieve international standards by developing strategic management process, human development, marketing and technology to the entrepreneur itself.
       In order to improve the competitiveness of the domestic manufacturing industry to be equivalent to that of other countries. It is a preparation for the international trade. Department of Industrial Promotion, Ministry of Industry operate Manufacturing Improvement to Improve Competitiveness Program: MDICP. The main goal is the development of Thai manufacturing industry into international trade system and competing in a sustainable manner.
To achieve this goal, the program has five main programs :

  1. Plan and develop the production.
  2. Plan to upgrade the standard of business and product to international system (ISO, QS or other)
  3. Plan for technology planning and management.

Principles and rationale

       The production industry development program to upgrade the competency of competition. The main goal is the development of Thai manufacturing industry into international trade system by restructuring process in the whole system of industrial business include manufacturing restructuring, raising the standard of business and product, enhancing product innovation, marketing enhancement, money management, human resource management and Strategic Business Management.
       The restructuring process mentioned here have a relationship. If any part is neglected, it is not developed or modified to conform to other parts. Then the business industry has no chance to build strength or the ability to compete in the international trade market.
       This restructuring process cannot be done in a short time and it cannot be done in every business. The reason for this limitation is because from past to present,
       Thailand's manufacturing industry has changed and was developed at each point, each side appropriate to the situation or trade situation in the world market to survive and just a short-term of advance. To operate the business, it has the characteristics of management in the defensive posture, not proactive management with strategy. The structure of the manufacturing business is lacking in continuity. So that, some businesses are only ready to be developed, improve consistency in the system all the process. The restructuring 5 plans above, the business which ready, it has the same important features are a vision and need in the trade leader whether it is a leader in the internal trade market or trade in the world market. Entrepreneurs in this group will seek more sustainable competitiveness than adapters. This business is often a large enterprise that can restructure and develop by itself.
       However, the small and medium business which is the largest business base in the manufacturing industry in Thailand. It is another group that has such features but it lacks the potential to restructure the whole process by itself. So that, it is the duty of the government to support the guidelines by introducing, point the opportunity and the coordinate practicing to push for this industry be aware of the necessity and truly beneficial of restructuring the industry business in the whole system. The key factor of success must come from commitment and the real intention of the management of the business. Because the operation requires time and the leadership of the executive level is the foundation of the business improvement.
