R & D (Research and Duplicate) - Why don't we do it?

[uls]

hehehe century tuna, wise guy. okay let me get this straight, bec i'm pretty serious here. no skills at all beyond the usual flat panels and straight boxes? at all? what the heck are those ofw learning overseas?

it's year 2012 and the Phils. still manufactures in right angles

i guess nobody here is investing in machines the can mass produce curves

--

OFWs? they come home... then they relax... go to boracay

seriously, even if they learned stuff abroad they couldnt apply them here coz there aren't similar capital goods here to put those skills to work

[dr. d]

we can't do it yet... because we are still politically confused as to whether we are an agricultural country, or an industrialized (o sige.. industrializing) country.
and until we decide, we won't be getting anywhere.
my 84 centavos' worth.
at bakit ka naman mag-i-invest in machines making machines? e, alam mo naman papatayin lang ang business mo ng subic, cebu, at port irene...

"Your point being?"---> that's the best pinoys can build. right angle metal boxes

Really? Do you know the business, science and engineering parameters as to why that design decision was reached before you actually dismiss the multi-discipline competencies required to put something like that together?

Obviously you don't. But for your benefit, given the cost considerations, the "box" is very economical to make without ridiculous tooling costs. Benders and welders only. Panels are laser cut for the windows. Its pretty darn rigid too.

Market isn't that big, why build something that will require costly tooling? I mean do you expect people to ride this in luxurious hopes of caviar dreams and champagne wishes?

But seriously, do you research first. Tool and die technology is readily available, and though the brainpower is limited and concentrated to a few companies locally, the capabilities are there given the right conditions.

Do Japanese manufacturers feel shame for having parts made by Indonesians? Thais? Filipinos? Malaysians? Vietnamese? Mexicans?

We're really getting simplistic about this.

good design... not enough in my opinion to convince investors. we've got to do more as in what niky says and evo as in blitzkrieg or pearl harbour them that sort of thing.

...if they learned stuff from abroad... nobody is investing...

okay so one knows for sure if we have those 'skilled' people lying around just waiting for the right opportunity to showcase their expertise. which means 'build it first and they will come' scenario?

keep it simple, practical. machinery and tooling should be 'just enough' to be able to fabricate those contours either for autos, gear and instruments. overhead should be down to a minimum. again we should avoid competing with the big boys it aint nice for everybody. there's still a niche market out there waiting for us to exploit.

yup cheap and easy. benders and welders only. the story of the Phils.

that's exactly why the Phils. can only make right angle metal boxes
