Abstract :

This study is conducted to developed innovative production planning and control strategies to manufacturing industries so as to improve production performance and competitiveness of basic metal sectors Though the study was conducted through field observation and questioner used as primary data and literature review on research articles, books, and electronic-sources which used as secondary data. While the questioner and filed observation data collection were done from two selected Ethiopian basic metal industries. Since the collected data were employed by both using descriptive and empirical analysis. Waste in the production process, poor plant layout systems, defective products, improper material requirement planning, deficiency on control and monitoring systems, insufficient inventory control, poor workflow strategies, null warehouse management systems, problems in information systems and information management strategies were investigated as the main challenges of developing the nation basic metal industries. As a result of these challenges, the performance and global competitiveness of local basic metal industries are poor and weak. As well the literature’ finding endorse that production planning and controls have gradual advancement in developed manufacturing industries but it is found to be at its infant stage in developing manufacturing industries. Due to these challenges and weak performances on the developing firms, the entire production process on the industries was declining, and then they approach to die. Though the new product planning and controlling strategies can bridge the gap and birth will begin within proper implementations of the model to basic metal industries.
