PRODUCTION MANAGEMENT AS A CHALLENGES TO MANUFACTURING INDUSTRIES IN NIGERIA (A CASE STUDY NIGERIA BREWERIES UYO)

ABSTRACT

It is a fact that there are some factors that are responsible for the poor performance of the manufacturing industry in Nigeria.  The manufacturing industry play a vital role in the Nigerian economy and also in the lines of the people. The manufacturing industry is like an organization that is motivated by a number of tractors to utilize input like raw-materials, land and man-power in the production of physical or tangible products for their consumer satisfaction.  The primary objective of carryout this study, is to critically examine the factors responsible for the poor performance of manufacturing industry in Nigeria.  The various functions, achievements, etc. contributes to individuals as well as the sectors of the economy.

This study would examine the evolution of manufacturing industries from inception to date,to lay more emphasis on the importance and gains of the manufacturing industries in the rural area and take a look at the problems and suggestions to solve these problems.

This project is also needed, in order to see how the manufacturing industry can be of assistance t the rural sectors and to the country of large.

It is likewise needed to serve as a prerequisite for the establishment of more manufacture industries.  This study can be used to study the extent of program of the federal government and the manufacturing industries have made in their efforts to see equal distribution of manufacture industries in Nigeria.

CHAPTER ONE

1.0 INTRODUCTION

 1.1 BACKGROUND OF THE STUDY

Production management refers to those activities involving planning, organizing, directing, integrating, controlling and evaluating the entire process of manufacturing goods or providing services at the right cost and in its right time, quantity, quality the place. Production management is about the way organizations produces goods and services. For instance, everything you wear, eat, sit on, use, read of knock about on the sports field comes to you courtesy of the production managers who organized its production. Every book you borrow from the library, every treatment you receive at the hospital, ever service you expect in the shops and every lecture you attend at school all have been produced. While the people who supervised their production may not always be called production managers that is what they really are. And that is what this research is concerned with the tasks, issue and decisions of those production managers who have made he services and products on which we all depend. Production management is concerned with the organization of the use of the equipment and other resources. Production management is the utilization of the highest productive resources at the least cost.

      According to Dr. E.U.L. Imaga  the performance of the managerial activities entailed in selecting, designing, operating, controlling, and updating productive system”. Having defined production management it should be pointed out that production first like any other field of study has or many definitions as there are participants in the field.

Mayer (2004 pg2) defined production with reference to goods as the fabrication of a physical object through the use of labour, material and equipment, whereas, with reference to service, production is the discharge of a function, which has utility. In either case something is being produced which did not exist earlier. From the above explanation production is the transformation of resources into finished goods and services. He also pointed out that any organization, which transforms inputs to output, is engaged in production.

Buffa E.S (1973) Said that production is the process by which goods and services are created. He also stated further that production process are found in factories, offices and hospital. The primary aim of production management is to optimize the production system, the consequent result of optimization is production efficiency.

The dictionary  of business management defined production as any form of activity that adds value to goods and service including transportation and warehousing until used. Utility is the ultimate satisfaction derived from the consumption of a particular goods and services.

Devek Lobley (2007) said that the process of converting raw or base material originally extracted from the earth, sea or atmosphere into from which yield utility or satisfaction to consumers at a time and place convenient to the consumer the emphasis is still on the ultimate satisfaction of the consumer which is what production to bring about this transportation. In some circumstance, it is appropriate to produce goods by employed a high proportion of labour to the other factors of production.

Production capacity Jerry Rosenberg said that it is with available equipment, the maximum quantity of units that can be made on a stated period the fall capacity production is predetermined and installed before the commencement of production process adequate planning and forecast is made so to that effect.

The Dryden Press (2006) said that capacity is widely understood by many people can be as the ability of a unit to produce that which consumers require and clearly there must be some match between needs characterized by market forecast and abilities characterized by capacity. In this regard capacity can be differentiated into three levels and they are as follows:

i.      Potential capacity

ii.     Immediate capacity

iii.    Effective capacity

Potential capacity is that capacity which can be made available with the current budget period.

Immediate capacity is that which is used within the current budget period.

Effective capacity is that capacity which is used with the current budget period.

Therefore, production management modifies production policies and some times aids the production engineer to modify his design as well since production engineering is more concerned with the design of physical equipments.

1.2   STATEMENT OF PROBLEM

Productivity in this country Nigeria as a matter of fact is low and as such is described as a developing economy. In countries where productivity is high we say such countries have developed economy. In view of this, this research is set to examine the following problems:

i.      What are problem encounter when getting the raw materials used in the production process in Nigerian breweries Plc?

ii.     What are the problems of inventory management in Nigerian breweries and what are the problems of inventory management policies of the company?

iii.    What are the problems encountered in the utilization of the installed capacity in Nigerian breweries PLC?

iv.    What are the problems in production process of Nigerian breweries PLC?

1.3   OBJECTIVES OF THE STUDY

The objectives of the research works are as follows:

i.      To ascertain to what extent the installed production management of Nigerian breweries PLC.

ii.     To examine how the raw materials used in the production processes are sourced and substituted.

 iii.   To determine the processes of production of Nigerian breweries.

iv.    To find out how the Nigerian breweries cope with the production management challenges  of its inventories.

v.     To maker recommendations.

1.4   RESEARCH QUESTIONS

i.      To what extent is the installed production management of Nigerian breweries PLC.?

ii.     How are raw materials used in the production processes sourced and substituted?

iii.    How does the Nigerian breweries cope with the management of its inventories?

1.6   SIGNIFICANCE OF STUDY

The significance of this study this to analyze and  production management as a challenges to manufacturing industries in Nigeria (a case study Nigeria breweries uyo).The Nigerian breweries as its seeks to achieve a high degree of efficiency of product. This study also analysis various resources needed in production process and factors affecting its growth tends to attract the increasing interest of economist, industrialist and statisticians in research. Prior to the attempt to analyze was and methods by which efficiency or effectiveness of production are determined by and problems of its evaluation as mathematically concerned. It is important to give at least brief but well concerned concept applicable to the topic under review. There are many concept of efficiency. The term has practical significance not only in economics but also in sociology, ecology and other branches of science. The content of its study in a particular area of study.

A research into production and capacity utilization is necessary because man’s existence on earth cannot be assured with production. Effective utilization of resources leads to less wastage of resources and elimination of the facilities. The research consider it important to carry out an investigation on the processes of production and capacity utilization because of its importance in an organization.

1.7   SCOPE OF THE STUDY

The researcher intends to under study the (a case study production management as a challenges to manufacturing industries in  Nigeria breweries Uyo)

The Nigerian breweries is a very big company with network of branches in some part of the federation carrying out a study. In all the Nigerian breweries as a whole will be very time consuming and cumbersome that is it will entail traveling some parts to obtain facts about the Nigerian breweries. Hence the research tried to cover production processes and capacity utilization in the Nigerian breweries PLC Uyo.

1.8   LIMITATION OF THE STUDY

A study of this magnitude and scope could not be  carried out without encountering problems that tend to hinder the progress of the volume that would have been covered by the researcher. They are FINANCE and TIME. These problem ranges from personal to environmental constrains.

A look at these problems will only tell so  much about our levels of under development.

1.9   DEFINITION OF TERMS

Optimization-   Process of  achieving the best thinking and doing.

Capacity- This is the ability of an organization to contain or hold the needs and wants of its prospective customers.

Utilization-       This is ability of a firm to make use of its available resources to produce goods and services for the satisfaction of human needs and wants.

Productivity-    Is the rate of efficiency of work done that is the output per unit of a factor of production.

Installation-     This is the processes of position new product in an organization with the aim of making profit.

Integrate- This is the act of combine difference factors or parts to make a whole.

THE PROGRAMMES:      Another conspicuous interface between production and marketing are

the usual time tables setting down the delivery but it also effectively determines cash flow

which is the prime controller of organizational viability.

PRODUCTION PLANNING:      This is the process of having the necessary resources for

production whether you are producing physical objects or rendering services. Example raw

materials, manpower, money, machines etc. in other words production  planning begins with a

forecast of the future demand for an organization goods and services.
