ABSTRACT
This study was carried out in of south omo zoneJinkato assess manual brick
manufacturing machine value analysis in metal manufacturing sectors of selected micro
and small enterprises and actors that are found in selected town. Data collected 38
individual’s enterprises were involved in this study by simple random sampling
techniques and Three polytechnic college, Three Omo microfinance, Three Trade and
Industry department selected by censes sampling techniques; and Three metal product
suppliers and three metal product users household would be selected by purposive
sampling techniques would be selected from this study. The purpose of metal Value chain
study was to assess metal products fabrication and identify potential products within the
metal fabrication sectors which could be improvement capacities of MSE.The major
problems or constraints identified through interview and questionnaire during the study
are finishing of metal fabricating items, marketing and demand forecasting, material
requirement planning, identification of different production processes, product handling
and storage, and display and supply there by resulting in decline of the market. In order
to identify the root causes in the value chain of metal production, a number of related
literatures have been reviewed and customized bench mark has been mapped. For this
particular study, numerous value analysis methods have been applied. These are:
mapping the AS-IS value chain, mapping the bench mark value chain, identifying and
analyzing gaps/constraints, and analyzing cause and effect approach. Finally, the study
concludes that the bench mark has depicted a lot of gaps/constraints and categorized as
techno-ware, human-ware, info-ware, and orga-ware and recommended that the
MSE,government, actors and stake holders should play an important role in providing
necessary facilities, financial support and relevant knowledge and skill training in order
to help manufacturers remain competitive in an emerging metal fabricatingproduct and
contribute their share towards the country's economic, social and political development.

Key words: Value Chain, Metal product, Bench mark, AS-IS, Value mapping

INTRODUCTION

1.1 Background of the Study

The impacts of manufacturing sector on economic growth and development based on
approach Jinka town. Increase in the share of the manufacturing sector enables to
improve national economy to grow at a faster rate. This indicates that, improving
manufacturing sector increases the performance and competitiveness of the country.
Since, industry performances have positive impact on economic growth and
development.
The value of metal and metal products industry is based on the principle that it can create
backward and forward linkage, enhance foreign exchange earnings by promoting
standard quality export products, create jobs and increase income, and give opportunity to
technology transfer.

Metal product value chain is useful for technology capacities and new enterprises enter in
global as well as local market; Most of the time we observed that the finished metal
products are not produced with standard and it is deviated from the standard capabilities,
hence the manufactured metal product are most of the time was not competitive with
international market as well as local market. Hence the value chain of metal products in
selected city (Jinka, gazer and Webhamer) of south omo zone was vital because in study
area different types of metal products or items are produced and supplied by micro and
small enterprises to hotels, universities, factories, individuals, household and etc.
Therefore this studyassess themetal product value chain analysis to identify themetal
fabrication gap on the metal product to assist in developing improved technological
capabilities, increase productivity and market share to benefit of SME, householder,
traders, and other participants.
Moreovermetal value chain study was to identify the root problem or existing problem in
metal fabricationin the selected study area and increasingly recognized as a promising

1
approach to address economic development, technology identification, job opportunity
and wide range of social and environmental development issues.

1.2 Statement of the Problems

The term value chain is used to characterize the set of interconnected and coordinated
links and linkages that take place as a product moves from the primary production unit to
the final consumer. As a product moves from the producer to the consumer, a number of
transformations and transactions take place along a chain of interrelated activities, and
value is added successively at each stage of the chain. Kaplinsky and Morris (2001)
define the value chain is the full range of a activities that are required to bring a product
from conception, through the intermediary stages of transformation, delivery to final
consumers, and final disposal after use.

The value chain development for metal products is essentially important since it is
manufacturing sector that can play an important role in economic growth and income
generation. The act that it has also include the production of agricultural products,
manufactured products of other sectors and has opened significant opportunists for the
development of our country. Manufacturing processes can be used on a variety of work
piece materials, from ductile metals to hard materials such as ceramics, glasses,
semiconductors, diamond and even additively-manufactured metals.

Value chain analysis is important in the metal fabrication process in the SNNPR in
general and in the studyarea particularfor the growing division of labor and the global
dispersion of the production of components. Every enterprise who engaged in
manufacturing sector especially in metal production is extensively metal products or
items at each stage to decorate items, windows, tableslegs, metal bed stair case and many
other metal fabrication products.

2
 More over in the study area we observed that most of the enterprises engaged in metal
product fabrication usetraditional approaches anddo not care most about the value and
qualities of the product and has no technological capability.
They do not makea profit as well as change their living standard of the enterprises also
decreases the performance of credit repayment. In the study area we observed that most
of the metal product manufacturers make a big problemon designing, shaping,
assembling and finishing of metal products. Therefore this value chain study was to
identify the potential constraints which are associated with metal fabricating process in
the study area.

1.3 OBJECTIVE OF THE STUDY

1.3.1 General Objective

The general objective of this study is to assess the value chain analysis of metal product
fabrication in case of Jinka,Gazer and Webhamercities of south omo zone

1.3.2 Specific objectives

 To assess the existing metal product fabricatingprocess in the study area.

 To identify the root problems in metal product processingin the study area.
 To find bench mark for metal production value chain analysis.
 To select an appropriate technologies to solve the identified problems in metal fabrication
process.
 To assess the marketing linkage and supply problems among the producer and user of the

1.4 Scope of the Study

This metal value chain study focuses on identifying value chain analysis for metal
fabrication process in South omo zone. The MSE coverage of this study was limited to

3
three towns such as Jinka, Gazer and Webhamer, keafer, Turimtown in metal
manufacturing sectors of selected micro and small enterprises and actors that are found in
selected town. However, the study was focused only in metal product value chain
analysis inselected areadue to budgetary and time limitations.

1.5. Significance of the study

The significant of value chain analysis of metal production process helps to simplify and
identify gaps of technologies, increases efficiency, market share, productivity and
systemic competitiveness involvement between local sector and sub sector, reduces
production costs, improves profitability and customer satisfaction by providing quality
product and services.

Also the importance of this document is to create competitive developmental attitude to

those enterprises engaged in manufacturing sector especially metal manufacturing; it is
known that the role of manufacturing is very important to achieve the growth and
transformation plan. In addition to the above significance this value chain is intended to
participate all concerned bodies (stockholders) to their role in the document. Researchers
as well as manufacturer or designer who want further investigation on metal value chain
analysis for others process will use the result from this study.

1.6. Terminology

Value chain: an entire system of production, processing and marketing from inception to
the finished product. It is a full range of activities that are required to bring a product
(service) from conception through the different phases of production to delivery to final
consumers and disposal after use. It consists of a series of chain actors, linked together by
flows of products, finance, information and services. A value chain is a group of
companies working together to satisfy market demands.

4
Value chain analysis: -an attempt to assess or estimate how competitive a selected
commodity or product is likely to be in a target market, even before it gets there.

Value chain mapping: the first step of the value chain is the so - called mapping. The
main idea is initially to identify the actors and then to „map‟ the traced product flows
within the chain including input supply, production, processing, and market activities.
The objective is to give an illustrative representation of the identified chain actors and the
related product activities/ flows. The Value Chain map is a simple tool, which visualizes
complex things we find in reality.

Supply chain: the physical flow of goods that is required for raw materials to be
transformed into finished products. Supply chain management is about making the chain
as efficient as possible.
Value chain actors: participants who determine the overall character of the chain those
become responsible for up grading possibilities, knowledge transfer, and interaction
coordination with in the value chain.

Main Chain: is a major activity of work flow in a chain in AS IS and TO BE.

Sub Chain:is a sub/support activity of work flow in a chainASIS and TOBE.

‘AS IS’:is the actual sequence of activities in a chain in order to deliver a product or a
services to the market by an enterprises those are participated in metal fabrication in the
study area.

‘TO BE’: represents the benchmark or the standard, or a set of standards, used as a point
of reference for evaluating performance or level of quality of selected for metal work .

Finishing: - the final step in the manufacture of components which require the highest
quality in terms of form, accuracy and surface integrity.

5
Metal product finishing: an operation of any metal work activities that adds
functionality to the work piece surface to enhance its quality characteristics.

Stakeholders: are those who support the value chain development.

Production: The manufacturing process, systems, and techniques which are

technologically acceptable, technically feasible, economically viable and eco-friendly
through achieving the value addition process in an effective and efficient manner.

Industry: The manufacturing or technical productive enterprises in a particular field.

Technology: is the practical means people using knowledge, tools, and systems to make
their lives easier and better and to improve their surroundings.
Techno-ware: (object embodied form) facilities that consist of tools, goods, products,
physical equipment’s, machinery physical process etc.

Human- ware: (human embodied form) the abilities of humans consists of

understanding, capacity for systematic application of knowledge, know how, human
capability, specialized ideas, skills, problem solving capacity etc.

Info-ware: (Document/Record embodied form) fact consists of knowledge about

physical relationships, scientific or other form of organized knowledge, principle of
physical and social phenomena, technical information, computer software etc.

Orga-ware: (institution embodied form) frameworks consisting of techniques,

organizational work assignment means for using and controlling factor of production,
organization of products, process, tools and devices for use by people.

CHAPTER TWO

LITERATURE REVIEW

2.1. Description of the Value Chain Concept

As a starting point, it is important to outline the value chain concept. According to

Michael Porter, a value chain "disaggregates a firm into its strategically relevant activities
in order to understand the behavior of costs and the existing and potential sources of
differentiation" (Porter 1985). This value chain allows us to diagnose the competitive
advantage of a firm or industry and to enhance this advantage by tailoring the value chain
(Porter 1985). Nevertheless, the value chain concept has evolved over the years since
Porter's definition. In the narrow meaning, a value chain includes the range of activities
performed by a firm to produce a certain output. It refers to the work by Porter (1985) on
competitive advantages. Porter (1985) utilized the framework of value chains to assess
how a firm should position itself in the market and in relation to suppliers, buyers, and
competitors.

8
Figure 2. 1Porter’s (1985) representation of a value chain Source: Porter (1985)

The ‘broad’ approach to value chains looks at the complex range of activities
implemented by various actors (primary producers, processors, traders, service providers,
etc.) to deliver a raw material to retail of the final product. The ‘broad’ value chain starts
from the production system of the raw materials and moves along the linkages between
enterprises engaged in trading, assembling, processing, etc. This broad approach does not
only look at the activities implemented by a single enterprise. Rather, it includes all its
backward and forward linkages, up until the level at which the raw material produced is
linked to the final consumer. In a more contemporary sense, a ‘simple’ value chain could
be defined as the description of a full range of activities necessary to carry a product or
service from conception, through the various production stages (including physical
transformation and other producer services), distribution to the final consumer, and
removal after its use. Nonetheless, in real life applications, value chains tend to be more
complex, involving several producers, creating manifold links within the value chain.
Therefore it can appear that one value chain may be composed of several smaller value
chains (Kaplinsky and Morris 2001).

Value chain analysis examines the full range of activities required to bring a product or
service from its conception to its end use, actors that perform those activities along the
value chain and final consumers for the product or service, Vermilion et al. (2008). It
describes the activities the organization performs which links them with the activities
around an organization, and relates them to an analysis of the competitive strength of the
organization. Therefore, it analyses which value each particular activity adds to the
organizations products or services.Value chain was the full range of activities which are
required to bring a product or service from conception, through the different phases of
production delivery to final customers, and final disposal after use” (Kaplinsky and
Morris, 2000).

2.2. Importance of Metal Products and Their Fabrication

We humans have been exploiting planet Earth’s metals since time immemorial. We may
not realize, but most of the things surrounding us are made of metals and the rest have
been manufactured using theses metals. Therefore, it is quite appropriate to say that metal
plays an utmost important role in the development of commercial as well as residential
sector. To exploit metals in the most valuable way, there is a need for proper fabricating
processes. Due to their usage at such a great extent, there is a huge metal fabrication
industry today. Metal fabrication has been known to make human’s life easy
significantly; it basically implies building metal structures with the help of cutting,
assembling and bending processes. Every industry manufacturing metal products thrives
to produce such fine quality products that display the highest tolerance levels. Such
industries usually deal in door and windows fabrication, manufacturing process of stairs,
designing of technologies, and a wide variety of other metal parts as well as equipment’s.

2.2.1. Importance of metalwork

Mankind is born with an instinctive desire to design and create things, not only for
practical purposes, but also for aesthetic value. Ancient cups and bowls reveal an interest
in design, and allow us to see some of the natural stages and progression of art. Seeing
this artistic development throughout history allows us to appreciate the ability of mankind
to develop the creative mind and translate that into tangible creations. This observation
helps us understand the importance of metalwork and how it plays a critical role in
anthropological studies.
Fortunately for us, certain metal handle the test of time quite well and maintain their
original brilliance for thousands of years. As metal work evolved to more design-centric
and decorative in nature, metal artists began to create statues, bracelets, necklaces and
other forms of gold and bronze decor discovered from various ancient civilizations.

10
2.2.2. Importance ofmetal industries

Basic Metal Industries are industries engaged in production of metal from ore, scrap and
conversion of billet, slab etc., into primary metal products, while Engineering Industries
manufacture fabricated metal products. Franziska (2006) says there is competitiveness for
the company, industry and country. For the company, competitiveness is the ability to
provide products and services as or more effectively and efficiently than the relevant
competitors. In the traded sector, this means sustained success in international markets
without protection or subsidies. Although logistics costs might allow firms from a nation
to compete successfully in their home market or in adjacent markets, competitiveness
usually refers to advantage obtained through superior productivity.

Metal Fabrication is one of the oldest elemental skills known to man. Metal
Manufacturing Companies have played a very important role in human civilizations for
centuries. This can be learned by visiting any natural history museums. You can find its
evidence in the history around 8700 BC in the Middle East when metal jewelry was
found from underground. And in America, copper found to be heated and hammered
since 5000 BC. And it is the creation of metal structures by cutting, bending, and
assembling processes. It is a value-added process involving the creation of machines,
parts, and structures from various raw materials.

2.3. Overview of Chinese metal production

China’s manufacturing capabilities have developed rapidly over recent years and Chinese
value chains have become increasingly sophisticated. The Metals and Engineering
Industry (M&E Industry) plays an important role in the economic development of the
country. The industry, comprised of small, independent firms, cuts across various
industries and caters to different sectors. Although it remained small in size, contributing

11
a very small fraction in the country’s GDP, the industry has survived many
transformations and challenges in the country and in the entire Asia as well.

Throughout the transformation, the rise of the manufacturing sector in china has changed
the pace of the economic development of the country. Manufacturing opportunities
indirectly drive the small and medium industries. Changing global trends provide a
source for developing countries to join the value chain by filling gaps as players move up.
Bombarded with challenges that have been plaguing firms over the years, the M&E
industry remained standing, offering new opportunities as it grows or slows down
together with the manufacturing industry and global economy. It was on this backdrop
that a study was conducted to highlight the status of the industry.

2.4. Overview of Ethiopia Metal Industries

Over the years, the success of Ethiopian basic metals industries to achieve these
objectives was limited. The country has benefited little and turned out to be net drains on
its resources. However, in the last few years, the metal and engineering sector in Ethiopia
has been growing relatively good, following the consistent economic growth of the nation
(Asmamaw, 2010). Metal working is the process of working with metal to create
individual parts, assembling or large Scale structures. Modern metal working process
though diverse and specialized can be categorized as forming, cutting or joining process.
Today's machine shop includes a number of machine tools capable of creating a prices
useful workplace Metals are the manufacturing processes by which they are shaped into
products have been developed and refined metal fabrication process such as: - Casting,
Forging, Measuring, Cutting, Turning, Milling, Drilling Welding, Grinding, Bending, and
Assembling. Numerous post-processes fall under the general term “finishing” and
sometimes several of them are used to achieve the final component quality. Competitive
technology use, effective use of resources, management and institutional set up are,
however, required to make the products competent internationally as well as locally
(Girum, 2012).

12
2.5. Empirical Studies on Metal Works in Ethiopia
There is a dearth of empirical work in Ethiopia on competitiveness of metal and metal
products industry. Few studies conducted so far focused on basic metal industries
entitled with technical efficiency of the industry sector, technology transfer as a vehicle
for industrial development case of basic metals and engineering industries and ownership,
management practices, upgrading, and productivity in the metalworking sector (Melaku,
2013). It used Stochastic Frontier Model to examine the technical efficiency and total
factor productivity (TFP) growth in the Ethiopian manufacturing sector over the period
1996–2009. The sector has shown better progress after 2001/2 and the growth is largely
explained by technical change which is a shift in production frontier.
Girum (2012) used longitudinal data to explore why foreign operated enterprises
performed better and whether the observed differences in enterprise performance were
due to differences in ownership or whether they can be explained by other confounders.
He found that foreign-owned enterprises were endowed with better quality managers. The
researcher proposed various solutions that would enable technology transfer to Basic
Metal Engineering Industries in particular and to the country at large. The proposed
solutions mainly focus on technology policy, technical development of institutions of
higher learning, practical-oriented science and technology education, coordinated
participation of the stakeholders, applied R&D, University-Industry linkage,
establishment of Basic Metals and Engineering Industries Technology Transfer and
Innovation Centre and Technology Incubation Centre. Gebremedhine (2009) in his paper
on “Competition regime: capacity building on competition policy in selected countries of
eastern and southern Africa” concluded that state-owned enterprises have been negatively
affecting trade, competition and competitiveness in the country.

CHAPTER THREE

METHODOLOGY

3.1. Description of the study area

The study of metal productvalue chain analysis is undertaken in
Webaari,Debubari ,HamerbenaWereda and Jinka city administration of South
omozonerof South Nation Nationality and people Regional State. The selection of the
Zones would be based on their potential of metal manufacturing enterprises.

Data collection particularly focused on Questioners and focus group discussions at

Zone level from Jinka town selected. I started doing interviews, document collection
and observations in Southern Omo on favorer 10. In the first two days (favorer 10 -
11)interviewed officials and metal work enterprise in Jinka. The South Omo Cluster
includes parts of South Omo Zone1 in Southern Nations, Nationalities and Peoples
(SNNP) regional state of Ethiopia. It forms part of the bigger Karamoja Cluster of the
Intergovernmental Authority on Development (IGAD), and is predominantly inhabited
by agro pastoralists. The area of South Omo Zone amounts to 24,249 km2. The Zone
has eight Woredas and the Jinka town administration (the Zone Capital). Sixteen ethnic
groups are considered indigenous to the Zone, while a good number of Ethiopians from
other parts of the country also live there. According to the population projections for
2016/17 based on the population and housing census conducted in 2007 (Central
Statistical Agency, 2008), the Zone has a total population of 767,915 most of the
Zone’s Woredas are sparsely populated and most of the population lives in rural areas.
The densely populated Woredas are inhabited by the Ari and Maa.le ethnic groups.
This is explained by the settled form of agrarian livelihood followed by members of
these ethnic groups. The remaining five Woredas (BenaTsemay, Dassenech,
Hamer,Nyangatom, and Salamago) are inhabited by ethnic groups practicing agro-
pastoralism. Rain-fed agriculture contributes significantly towards the annual
consumption in the BenaTsemayWoreda. The same could be said for some parts of
HamerWoreda, in higher altitude area near Dimeka, the Woreda capital. Flood retreat

14
 agriculture is practiced in the remaining Woredas in areas close to the Omo,Mago and
Woyto Rivers Population density figures do not necessarily reflect resource abundance.
DassenechWoreda which is among the most resource strapped is the one with the
highest population density from the agro-pastoralist Wereda, whileSalamagoWereda
which receives bimodal rain in some parts is the least dense.

3.3. Value Chain Selection

The manufacturing value chain is selected for analysis based on the selecting criteria set
by Jinka polytechnic college. Metal value chain the GTP-2 priority sectors were listed
among them the main economic activity in the case area was identified which is
manufacturing. In the study area metal product manufacturing importance for
employment creation, GDP share, market share, the share of export, growth potential,
market potential, product diversification, & women empowerment. Table 3.2 below
shows the growth and transformation plan (GTP) priority sectors from which the metal
product finishing value chain is selected.
The selection of products is made on the basis of an analysis of a set of specific criteria
mentioned above which is categorized in four specific areas: market and economics,

15
 environment and biodiversity, social and political aspects, and technology and
infrastructure.

Based on above value chain selection criteria metal value chain analysis would be
selected.

3.4. Target Population

The target populations for this study were micro and small enterprises those are
participated in metal product fabrication in the study area are the main actors. Also metal
goods or product users or consumers, polytechnic college, metal product suppliers, OMO
microfinance, and Trade and Industry bureau are the target population for metal products
value chain analysis.

3.5. Sample Size Determination

3.5.1, Sample size and sampling techniques

Sampling and sample size are crucial issues in pieces of qualitative and quantitative value
metal chain analysis; which seek to make statistically based generalizations from the
study results to the population.

Each study area or town are selected by purposely and from each zonal town we would
select five enterprises (2small-scale and 3medium-scale enterprises) total fifteen (15)
enterprises are selected randomly from both small and medium level enterprises; hence a
total of 45 individual’s enterprises (6 individuals from small-scale and9individuals from
medium enterprises) were involved in this study by simple random sampling techniques.

Also Three (3) polytechnic collage, Three (3) Omomicrofinance, Three (3) Trade and
Industry bureau from each zone would be selected by censes sampling techniques; and
six(6) metal product suppliers and six (6) metal product users household would be
selected by purposive sampling techniques would be selected from study area

17
3.6. Data Collecting Tools and Methods

Both qualitative and quantity types of data would be used for metal value chain analysis
and primary and secondary sources of data would be collected. The source of primary
data would be collected from small and micro enterprises, users or consumers of the
metal product, polytechnic college, metal product suppliers, OMO microfinance, and
Trade and Industry bureau at zonal level.

In able to collect all the information needed for metal value chain analysis, a set of
gathering tools must be developed. A composition of qualitative and quantitative
questions to identify primary and support activities needed to do the mapping of the AS -
IS, which define as the existing activities and practices of product/service providers. A
variety of tools (questionnaires, interviews, literature reviews, observations FOG etc.) are
used to assist in the data gathering process.

Each type of tool provides alternative means to illustrate, explain and specify exactly
what must be delivered to meet the intended goals. The gathering tool should be covered
the name of the product and services selected, the background and information of the
selected enterprise, the inputs or initial resources to start an enterprise, the main chain or
the sequence of the main process and also the sub chain or the activities supporting the
main chain. The tool also includes the statement of the real problems and solutions
existing within the enterprise and finally the interventions given by the governmental and
non-governmental organizations.

Secondary data would be obtained from various sources such as reports of bureau of at
different levels, internets, published and unpublished materials’ previous value chain
analysis findings, which would be relevant to the study.

18
3.7. Methods of Data Analysis

Both qualitative & quantitative data collected through various methods were analyzed by
using descriptive method of data analysis. The collected data from both sources were
analyzed by using value chain analysis approach. Value chain map was used to depict the
metal value chain. After collection of data from interview and FGD, the analysis is done
by value chain analysis. Chain mapping is used to show the value chain of metal finishing
product in the country. In addition, a comparative analysis of the AS-IS value chain and
the benchmark value chain of value chain had been undertaken.

3.7.1. Descriptive methods

This method of data analysis refers to the use of, percentages, means, frequencies and
standard deviations in the process of examining and describing metal value chain analysis

3.7.2 Value chain mapping

The main purpose of mapping the value chain is to summarize, in a clear pictorial format,
the value chain structure. There are many different ways to diagram value chains –
horizontal, vertical, and circular. Value chain maps demonstrate how a product in an
industry moves from raw material through production, processing, and other steps, until it
eventually winds up with the final consumer. The map highlights the range of activities
that occur within the value chain. The map would be also outline transformation steps or
functions, actors, relationships and support services. The level of detail in a value chain
map can vary, ranging from noting the basic essentials to highly comprehensive. At the
end of the design process, a second version of the map can be developed to detail the
future vision of the market that the program would create.
The components that are generally needed in order to map the value chain include the
following:
1. Transformation Steps,
2. Value chain end markets (consumers or users),
3. Value chain actors & customers and

19
 4. Support services.
Each of the inputs the program designer would be need during the physical mapping of
the value chain is detailed below.
1. Transformation Steps: -Transformation steps are the stages a given product goes
through along the supply chain. For example if the product is unprocessed
metalproductthe first transformation step is “ suppliers(wholesalers, retailers,)” and
would be include other components needed to make metal products. The last
transformation step for metal product finishing would be “for final consumption.” Here
we have listed several examples of steps a product transforms through:
 Suppliers
 Producing
 Wholesaling
 Retailing
 Consumption
2. Value Chain End Markets (Consumers or users):- Value chain actors are those
participate in a value chain. The people or entities who are actors in value chain End
Markets are primary markets to which the product of the value chain is sold. In terms of
structure, typically the markets are placed in order of their value, from left to right (lower
value markets on the left, higher value markets on the left).

3. Value Chain Actors Value chain actors are those who participate in a value chain.
The people or entities who are actors in our product include:
 Regional metal product suppliers
 Local metal product suppliers
 Small scale enterprises
 medium scale enterprises
(Value chain consumers are not considered „actors,‟ and so the potential customers who
would consume the product in the value chain should be listed across the top of the value
chain map. Actors differ from consumers in that they do not use the product but instead
process or move the product through the chain.)

20
4. Support Services Critical support services can come from actors internal to and
independent of the value chain. Internal actors and the support services they provide
should be linked with an arrow (use a different style for each different service) and
labeled with a dollar sign. Actors who are independent of the value chain can be listed on
the far right side of the map vertically. Examples of support services include:
 Microfinance institution (MFI)
An alternate form of bank, this type of financial institution is typically found in
developing countries and provides microcredit lending to those in poverty. Microcredit
Lending is the extension of small loans, designed to spur entrepreneurship. Microloans,
as the name implies, are generally very small and are given to the very poor, who tend to
lack the minimum requirements (i.e. collateral, steady employment, credit history, etc.),
for access to traditional credit.
 Non-Governmental Organizations (NGOs)

Those associations created by people or groups that operate independently from any
government. The distinction of NGO is usually limited to organizations that seek to
impact a social issue. Sometimes called „civil society organizations‟ The main purpose
for mapping the value chain is to summarize graphically the value chain structure. There
are several ways to go about charting the value chain: Horizontally, Vertically, or
Circular. Whichever style the program designer chooses, the components remain the
same. The procedure for mapping the value chain is as follows:
1) Collect Market Research
Collect all the market research that’s been compiled to date. The program designer should
have data from several sources, including:
 Key informant / in-depth interviews
The best information is likely to be found through direct conversations and interviews
with “key informants” within the country/region. Key informants can be found in a
variety of places, for example – governmental departments, private sector academic
institutions, other NGOs, etc.
 Focus group discussions
Conducting focus group discussions is another great way to get important information.

21
  Market observations
Review existing industry and market research.
2) Analyze the findings and study the implications
a) Evaluate the market research and the other information the program designer has
collected so far to determine what the unique characteristics of the value chain are.
b) Consider the relationships between the value chain actors, and determine the linkages.
 In which industries/economic activities is there good potential for linkages for
micro and small enterprises?

3.7.3. Drawing the Value Chain Map

Now the program designer would be begin to actually draw the map of the value chain
based on the comprehensive analysis. The program designer would use the lists made in
the raw materials section.
i. Write out each step in the Transformation Process
o Start with the transformation steps the program designer came up with when
gathering products, and begin listing those steps vertically along the left side of
the map
o The program designer should choose a shape for these functions to differentiate
them from other parts of the value chain later on once the map becomes more
complicated. In our example, we have chosen to identify transformation process
steps by surrounding each term with square/rectangle
ii. Identify the various End Markets (Consumers) in the Value Chain
o Use the list of End Markets (Consumers) – the primary consumers to which the
product of the value chain is sold.
o Arrange the list of market segments in order from lowest to highest value,
beginning with low value markets on the left, and moving to the right as the
markets reach a higher level.
iii. Identify the different Actors in the Value Chain

22
 o Here, use the next set of inputs – the list of identified key Actors in the Value
Chain
o Starting at the bottom of the value chain map, begin placing each actor on the
map, according to the relevant value chain activity (the boxes on the left side of
the map) and the relevant market (the circles across the top of the map).
o Continue to place each actor according to their value chain activity and the
markets themselves for the remaining levels of the value chain.
o Expand the actor’s box to reflect involvement in multiple levels of the value
chain.
iv. Depicting Relationships
o Construct key linkages between all the actors in the value chain based on the data
from the research study.
- Connect their relationships with any support services that help link producers to the end
market
- Identify the relationships between the producers & the key actors that help link the
producers to the end market
o Arrows are the most commonly used symbols for depicting relationships on a
value chain map, which should flow vertically from top to bottom and
horizontally from left to right – as if writing a letter. Use a different style line to
illustrate each unique relationship, so they are clearly defined.
o Draw arrows pointing up to represent product flow (from input suppliers up to
end markets)

v. Representing Support Services

o If developing a detailed map, it might be a good idea to include support services
as an overlay. Use arrows to show the flow of services from one actor to another
in the transformation flow.
Services from actors outside the value chain can also be included on the map. It is
important that these services are placed at the far side of the map (and not in the value
chain). Shading the box differentiates these actors from those within the value chain.
o These should include the range of service providers.

23
3.7.4. Value Analysis
Value Analysis is analyzing value of each activities and how it is undertaken in existing
situation (AS IS) with respect benchmark. A value analysis, providing both qualitative
and quantitative background information for activities to be analyzed; Sources of
information for this analysis was secondary data, published or unpublished literature,
surveys, focus groups, and rapid appraisal. A major goal of analyzing is to identify any
“bottlenecks” in the value chain. The identification of the factors that the customer’s
value in the way of the conduct of each activity and then work out on the changes that are
needed.

3.7.5. Method of Comparative Analysis

All data and information gathered in Value chain is analyzed using the Four Parameters
(Quantity, Quality, Cost, and Time)
Four Parameters (Quantity, Quality, Cost, Time)
The process of analyzing the Value chain activities was according to the four parameters
(Yield, Quality, Cost and Time) to identify the Gaps between AS IS compared to the
Benchmark. The four parameters defined as flows:
Quantity – refers to level or number of output acquired
Quality – refers to the level of standard applied
Cost – refers to the amount of money allotted in a specific activities
Time – refers to the specific duration, time limitation in performing the activities
The following is the way done to analyze the value chain in metal production and
processing. The main Chain and Sub Chain is listed to use the four parameters, which are
the yield, quality, cost and time, so as to compare already the benchmark versus the AS
IS. Since using this approach we can clearly see the difference between the two elements.

3.7.6. Gap analysis

The purpose of a value chain gap analysis is to measure the differences between the
current situation and the desired situation. It compares “what is” with “what ought to
be”. When gaps are identified, you can work to close them.

24
3.7.7. Tabulation and graphical representation of data

It is cumbersome to study or interpret large data without grouping it, even if it is arranged
sequentially. For this, the data are usually organized into groups called classes and
presented in a table which gives the frequency in each group. Such a frequency table
gives a better overall view of the distribution of data and enables a person to rapidly
comprehend important characteristics of the data. The data which has been shown in the
tabular form may be displayed in pictorial form by using a graph. A well-constructed
graphical presentation is the easiest way to depict a given set of data.

3.7.8. Cause and Effect Analysis

It’s a diagram that demonstrates the relationship between effects and the categories of
their causes. The arrangement of the diagram looks like a fishbone it is therefore also
called fish-bone diagram. Cause and Effect Analysis enables you to identify the possible
cause affecting or creating a project or problem. A cause and effect diagram is a quick
and visually effective way of exploring a problem or opportunity with some vigor. We
can use a cause and effect analysis when we need:
 Root Cause Analysis
 Problem Exploration
 Defining a problem
 Identifying possible data requirements
 Developing objectives for solutions
 Narrowing down causes
Hence, after reviewing related literatures, for the best outcome of the study, mapping the
AS-IS value chain, mapping the bench mark value chain, Value analysis, identifying gaps
and analysis, and cause and effect analysis tool were applied as a method of data analysis.

CHAPTER 4

Result and Discussion

The following section discusses the analysis of the data collected from different Metal
product manufacturing micro and small enterprises, metal product suppliers, Polytechnic
collage and stakeholders. After over viewing, it will focus on metal value chain analysis
and to analyze the problems in detail. Questionnaire was developed to assess the value
chain analysis and level through collecting qualitative and quantitative primary data
regarding the current metal fabrication process and improvement practices in metal
production process in the study area.

4.1 Descriptive Analysis

In this part the collected data from the respondent’s analysis by using, percentages,
means, frequencies and standard deviations for to assess the existing metal product
fabrication process and root problems in metal product process in the study area in the
process of examining and describing metal value chain analysis.

The result in Table 4.1 shows those 13(34.2%) of the respondents

26
after the sell you got feedback from your customersand 25 (65.7%) of the respondents
has no asked any information about your sale product or not get any feedback
information from your customers. The result of the chi-square test indicates that feedback
from your customers to be significant at10% significant level ;Therefore MSE who
participated in metal fabrication process they must get feedback from your customers are
essential for your future actions and to increase productive as well as qualities of the
products.

Good design implementation was importance for increasing market share as well as
customer handling; hence the results shows that 5(13.7%) of the respondents got training
on metal design processand 33 (86.2%) of the respondents has no any training on metal
design process. The result of the chi-square results indicates that training on production
on metal design processto be significant at10% significant level; Therefor the concerned
body gives training on especially how to read and design metal products new products
from imported or manufactured by other MSE.

The result in Table 4.1 shows those 9(23.6%) of the respondents flow the scientific steps
for manufacturing process to produce metal items and29 (76.3%) of the respondents has
no flow the formal manufacturing process to produce metal items. The result of the chi-
square test indicates that flows of manufacturing process to be significant at10%
significant level ;Therefore MSE who participated in metal fabrication process they must
use manufacturing production steps that area are essential resources utilization as well as
to increase qualities of manufacturing items. Hence to use manufacturing process helps
for to increase productive as well as qualities of the products delivered to the customers.

Flow quality control procedures for manufactured product operation was importance for
increasing competitive and market share as well as customer satisfaction; hence the
results shows that 13(34.2%) of the respondents flow quality control procedures for
manufactured product and 25 (68.2%) of the respondents has no any flow quality control
procedures for manufactured product. The result of the chi-square results indicates that
training on flow quality control procedures for manufactured product process to be

27
significant at10% significant level; therefore the concerned body gives training on quality
control procedures how to maintain quality in metal manufacturing process .

The above table 4.2, shows that availabilities of raw materials. Raw materials are
materials or substances used in the primary production or manufacturing of goods. Raw
materials are commodities that are bought and sold on commodities exchanges local
markets. Traders buy and sell raw materials in what is called the factor market because
raw materials are factors of production as are labor and capital. From above tables
indicted that almost all enterprises 37 (97.3%) you got raw materials for manufacturing
get from suppliers. This shows that there is easily availability of materials for
manufacturing of metal products; this may be reducing transportation cost.

The analysis showed that all almost 84.2 %of the respondents get their finished products
sale to at local market and only 15.8 % the final manufactured product delivered to
regional market. This shows that there is less market share and the product is not
computes with at regional level, at the same time advertisement activities also less.
Therefore the concerned body must be work with marketing strategist and to increase
advertisement opportunities at different mechanizes to shows the finished products.

30
Figure 4. 1Selling final products

It is said that good marketing is a study about what customers want to buy and then them help
them do so. Selling the finished products is actual both a science and an art and very
important to the success of any business. We will take a look at the functions of marketing.
Let us get started.From the above figure 4.1. Shows that 10 (26.3%), 4(10.5) and 24(63.8)
Selling of your final manufacturing products to consumers, government and NGO
respectively. This shows that there is lack of market penetration.

Figure 4. 2From where to get design to manufacturing the ordered product

31
Understanding and to draw drawing for manufacturing products are very essential for
quality control as well as resource utilizations. Using design in business can bring about
many benefits. It can improve your performance, your efficiencies, and the value of your
products and services. It can also reduce costs and risks to your business. From above
figures shows that 27(71%), 6(15.7%) and 5(13.1%) of the respondents you got item
designs by prepared designs, prepared sketch and assumption respectively. Therefore the
concerned body give training on how to designs the product for manufacturing metal
items. Effective design can encourage customers to buy from you and not from your
competitors. It can help your product, service or business stand out

Figure 4. 3Advertisement your manufactured product seal to your customers.

One of the most essential parts of running a successful business is building loyal base of
customers who periodically purchase your goods and services. Even if a company offers
high-quality goods and services at low prices, owners won't will make sales if consumers
are not aware of its offerings. A strong advertising campaign can have numerous benefits
for a small business. From the above figures shows that 8(21%),8(21%) 6(17%)
13(34.2%)and 3(7.8%) of the respondents advertisement your manufactured product seal
to your customers by side of the customers side, organizational banner,redo,exabishions
and other mechanisms to promote the products.

4.2. Value Chain Mapping

Mapping a chain means creating a visual representation or a flow diagram of the

connections between activities in value chains as well as other market players. It helps to
illustrate and understand the process by which a product goes through several stages until
it reaches the final customer. A value chain map illustrates the way the product flows
from raw material to end markets and presents how the industry functions. It is a
compressed visual diagram of the data collected at different stages of the value chain
analysis and supports the narrative description of the chain. By using the information
gathered from questionnaire and during interviews, questioner, observation as well as
secondary research, the value chain analysis team develops the map of the metal product
finishing manufacturing in Jinka city administration, Debubari,Webaari and
HamerbenaWeredas. Value chain mapping enables the analysis team to visualize the flow
of the product from beginning to end consumer through various actors, as well as the
supporting markets and enabling environment affecting the value chain.
Mapping a chain means creating a visual representation or a flow diagram of the
connections between activities in value chains as well as other market players. It helps to
illustrate and understand the process by which a product goes through several stages until
it reaches the final customer.
Activity Analysis, The identification of the activities undertaken by the enterprise that
contributed to the delivery of the product or service. After the identification the survey
team would do the brainstorming with the activities identified which are the Main Chain
and the Sub Chain.
The purpose of mapping the value chain is to translate the findings of the gathering of
data into a Value Chain. The Value Chain map is a simple tool, which visualizes complex
things we find in reality.

 4.3.3 Characteristics of Inputs and Supplies

The inputs (raw materials) mostly used for metal production by the micro and small
enterprises in the study area are different types and thickness of Mild steel, Sheet metal,
aluminum sheet metal , mild steel, round bars and etc.. Additionally, manufacturing
enterprises use semi-finished metal products like; standardized aluminum metal, casted
iron, metals hinges ,Flowers, tendons with different shape , diamond shapes, zigzags,
wheat shape, leaf shapes, strawberry shapes, and circular shapes are few among many
types of semi-finished metal products. The analysis showed that all almost 97.3%of the
respondents get their inputs from local suppliers. The questionnaires also distributed to
these suppliers in order to get the reason why the suppliers works in this field of trading.
The analysis showed that75% of the respondents gave a reason that “there is a high
demand of metal in the market”. On the other hand, all the enterprises think and give
reasons as there is high customer demand in the market. The market condition is also
necessary to analyze the value chain and to interpret forecast the demand of metal
fabricating products of market. From the distributed questioners, 100% of the supplier
shows there is a strong demand and it is increasing. The other investigated actors
(enterprises) 100% responded that the market demand is increasing.85% the respondent

4.6.1 Technology Identification

The process of technology identification gains high importance in Technology Management.
By identifying the appropriate technology, organizations cope with development in
technologies, are able to offer the latest and up-to-date technology and services and will
produce a high quality and enhanced services with a high quality and competitive prices.
Technology identification is the process of identifying technologies from the benchmark.
If the technology in the benchmark is somehow complicated and sophisticated with
respect to the country`s potential and focus, it is possible to look for other additional
alternative Technology Identification, Categorization and Prioritizationtechnologies
(equivalent technology from other best practices) without compromising the quality and
efficiency.

In order to mitigate the above constraints, adoptions of different technologies are very important.
So we recommend the following technologies to mitigate constraints metal production as shown
in table 4.7 below.

4.6.2 Technology Categorization

The process of segregating identified technologies in to four categories of technologies
namely Techno ware, Human ware, Info ware and Orga ware. So the above technologies
that we have recommended to mitigate metal production constraints are grouped in to
four categories as shown below in table 4.8

the cross-sectional data collected 38 individual’s enterprises were involved in this study
by simple random sampling techniques and Three polytechnic collage, ThreeOmo
microfinance, ThreeTrade and Industry department from each zone would be selected by
censes sampling techniques; and Three metal product suppliers and three metal product
users household would be selected by purposive sampling techniques would be selected
from this study.The purpose of metal Value chain study was to assess metal products
fabrication area in selected three Cities and identify potential products within the metal
fabrication sectors which could be improvement enhancing. Based on the value chain
selection criteria; there are four types of products are selected from those metal product
value chain were identified as potential product.

The study was additionally aimed at identifying issues which constrain the development
of the metal products. Finally, it assesses the possible role of actors, stakeholders and
technology interventions wherever necessary to increase the metal fabrication production.

Manyproblems looks in the study area, metal product manufacturing were identified in
this paper and the key findings are marketing and demand forecasting, material request

79
planning, identification of different production processes, product handling and storage,
and display and supply which in turn affects the productivity and competitiveness in a
market.

To alleviate constraints facing in metal manufacturing and to propose the best bench
mark, a number of related literature reviews have been carried out. As a result, Chinese
metal product manufacturers were reviewed and compared with selected study area AS-
IS metal product manufactures. In order to carry out the value chain analysis, a number of
data analysis methods were implemented. To mention few: mapping the AS-IS value
chain, mapping the bench mark value chain (To Be), Cause and effect analysis are the
major ones. Generally, following the analysis result, the study figured out that the bench
mark (To Be) has depicted a lot of gaps/constraints with its possible solutions and the
corresponding actors and stakeholders.

80
 5.2. Recommendations

On the basis of the findings, the following suggestions and recommendations are given to
government, stakeholders and actors to tackle the identified gaps and constraints in the
value chain:
 TVET college gives job-related training related to value chain analysis should be given to
those who participates technology production.
 Trade and Industry departmentshould facilitate Proper assistance in the promotion and
marketing of metal products.
 Polytechnic College shouldProvide appropriate design technology,marketing, training
and education on development of high end products.
 Government should facilitate better facilities for this sector such as shed, road, electricity
and storage to manufacturing sites; workshops to promote the local producers.
 MSE should open their doors for TVET instructors, researchers and expertise; they
should also focus on quality product production system and continuous improvement.
 Universitiesshould focus on industries linkages for giving quality manpower train and
practical research works; it helps to improve of MSEs.
 SNNPR technical and vocational training institutionshould coordinate effective value
chain analysis for technology innovation, adaption and transfer to TVET colleges.
 SNNPR technical and vocational training institution shouldgive capacity building
 training in research, community service and etc… for TVET colleges.
 TVET officeshould give quality training to trainees in metal product manufacturing. The
training will produce a lot of qualified manpower.
 Enterprise and Industry developmentdepartmentsshouldfacilitate working and displaying
areasfor the MSEs so that they would enhance their production capabilities in order to
substitute the imported products and make capability to competitive in export market.
