Defense industries: ‘Outsmart’ limitations
Diandra Megaputri and Al Araf, Jakarta | Fri, 10/14/2011 8:08 AM
The government’s will to modernize Indonesia’s weapons system was again highlighted by President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono at the 66th anniversary of the Indonesian Military (TNI) last week.
However, limited defense budgets have always hampered the realization of such an agenda. Indonesia enjoyed 6.5 percent economic growth during the second quarter, reflected in a whopping 35 percent increase in the defense budget for 2012 to Rp 64.4 trillion (US$7.23 billion).
Along with supporting economic conditions, a wider space has been created to improve the government’s commitment to modernizing weapons systems. To maximize utilization of the defense budget, the government should integrate its acquisition strategy and manage its measures carefully.
As a country, Indonesia has two options to boost its defense. The first is to purchase of off-the-shelf military equipment; the second is to develop an indigenous defense industry. Taking the 1998-2005 weapons embargo as a lesson learned, the second option seems more pressing to avoid another dramatic degradation of the nation’s military capability, which is dependent on foreign suppliers.
However, Indonesia’s state-owned defense companies are still facing both financial problems and a lack commitment from their stakeholders, which are the government, the TNI and the National Police.
The worst conditions have been experienced by shipbuilder PT PAL and aircraft maker PT DI. Both require direct cash injections from the government to remain operational. Meanwhile, arms producer PT PINDAD has not received approval to produce its BT-250 bomb — a breakthrough for the industry.
To make matters worse, regulations on defense industries have been interpreted in multiple ways, as evident in the controversy surrounding the initial public offering of PT Krakatau Steel.
It is obvious that financial support of the nation’s defense industries is needed. Nevertheless, the challenge lies in how to allocate a “limited” budget. Without an integrated strategy, consistency and formal regulation, the funds might be spent in vain.
The purpose of strategies and regulations are not to protect national defense industries from competition in the international arms marketplace, but to boost their capabilities. For instance, the cash injection given to PT PAL in 2009 saved the company, but was not sufficient to rebuild it.
To meet the operational needs of state-owned defense industries, the government should adopt the concept of minimum essential force (MEF). For state defense industries, a minimum essential procurement (MEP) would be made to guarantee an industry’s continuity and to avoid additional direct cash injections that might increase its dependency on the government.
The two concepts support each other, given that supporting state-defense industries would reduce the risk of international political tensions, such as embargoes.
In line with a MEF, a MEP would also solve the budgetary constraints dilemma. In response, the Indonesian government could adopt a marketing strategy for state defense industry products, either through international cooperation or offset agreements.
Although many products made by the Indonesian defense industry are still not of the best quality, surprisingly there are several products that have captured international market attention. For instance, Malaysia has planned to purchase Indonesian-made Panser armored personnel vehicles and US has already purchased sport ammunition made by PT PINDAD.
The strategy would allow state defense industries to reduce their dependency on local security institutions, which currently buy about 80 percent of their output.
In order to achieve the MEP, development requirements should be fulfilled. One alternative is for the government to allocate financial assistance to improve the quality of arms producers with a large market potential.
For example, PT PINDAD has already received a great demand for its bullets, domestically and overseas. Nevertheless, this industry has been unable to meet market demands due to its limited capacity or obsolete machinery. This is the point where government support is needed.
Besides increasing production capacity, this strategy would also add value to the product. As Josse and Pier note, the governments of semi-industrial countries tend to support high-tech weapons at significant cost, although the products are not a military necessity. Therefore, the government should be cautious about its ambitious agenda.
Further, financial assistance is also needed for research and development activities (R&D), especially for high-demand weapons that state defense industries have not been able to produce.
Considering the vast budget needed for R&D, the government could solve its problems by improving access to international cooperation. By its nature, international cooperation will increase the production capacity of state defense industries, improve human resources, access to technology and curb dependency on government assistance.
International cooperation is more effective than the transfer of technology, which relies heavily on the absorption capability of human resources and infrastructure — and often failing due to the unreadiness of both.
On the other hand, international cooperation provides more advantages through the involvement of foreign partners in the process of enhancing industrial capacity.
However, it should be noted that the challenge of international cooperation lies on the level of state sovereignty, which cannot be compromised. Therefore, clear regulations are needed to determine how far international cooperation can be applied to state defense industries. A similar strategy has been implemented and worked well in Russia.
“Strategy before structure” is the mantra of success for state defense industries. It is obvious that the industries cannot survive without government financial support.
Nevertheless, it will take a further government commitment to prepare state defense industries for self-reliance.
With 21 to 27 percent of the budget allocated to defense, the government should be careful about maintaining its defense industry policies. Otherwise, this golden momentum will be gone with the wind.

Textile industry
The textile industry is primarily concerned with the
production of yarn, and cloth and the subsequent design or manufacture of clothing
and their distribution. The raw material may be natural, or synthetic
using products of the chemical industry.
In Roman times, wool, linen and leather had clothed the European population and silk, imported along the Silk Road from China, was an extravagant luxury. The use of flax fibre in the manufacturing of cloth in Northern Europe dates back to Neolithic times.
The main steps are: Producing the fibre, preparing it, converting it to yarn, converting yarn to grey cloth and then finishing the cloth. The cloth is then taken to the manufacturer of garments. The preparation of the fibers differs the most depending on the fiber used. Flax requires retting and dressing, while wool requires carding and washing. The spinning and weaving processes are very similar between fibers though.
Spinning evolved from twisting the fibers by hand using a drop spindle, to using a spinning wheel. Spindles or parts of them have been found in archaeological sites and may represent one of the fist pieces of technology available. They were invented in India between 500 and 1000 AD[2]
Weaving, done on a loom has been around for as long as spinning. There are some indications that weaving was already known in the Palaeolithic. An indistinct textile impression has been found at Pavlov, Moravia. Neolithic textiles are well known from finds in pile dwellings in Switzerland. One extant fragment from the Neolithic was found in Fayum at a site which dates to about 5000 BCE.
The key British industry at the beginning of the 18th century was the production of textiles made with wool from the large sheep-farming areas in the Midlands and across the country (created as a result of land-clearance and enclosure).This was a labour-intensive activity providing employment throughout Britain, with major centres being the West Country; Norwich and environs; and the West Riding of Yorkshire. The export trade in woolen goods accounted for more than a quarter of British exports during most of the 18th century, doubling between 1701 and 1770 [2]. Exports of the cotton industry – centered in Lancashire – had grown tenfold during this time, but still accounted for only a tenth of the value of the woolen trade.
The textile industry grew out of the industrial revolution in the 18th Century as mass production of yarn and cloth became a mainstream industry.ref>Hammond, J.L.; Hammond, Barbara (1919) (pdf), The Skilled Labourer 1760-1832, London: Longmans, Green and co., p. 51, http://www.archive.org/details/skilledlabourer00hammiala
In 1734 in Bury, Lancashire, John Kay invented the flying shuttle — one of the first of a series of inventions associated with the cotton industry. The flying shuttle increased the width of cotton cloth and speed of production of a single weaver at a loom.[3] Resistance by workers to the perceived threat to jobs delayed the widespread introduction of this technology, even though the higher rate of production generated an increased demand for spun cotton.
In 1761, the Duke of Bridgewater's canal connected Manchester to the coal fields of Worsley and in 1762, Matthew Boulton opened the Soho Foundry engineering works in Handsworth, Birmingham. His partnership with Scottish engineer James Watt resulted, in 1775, in the commercial production of the more efficient Watt steam engine which used a separate condensor.
In 1764, James Hargreaves is credited as inventor of the spinning jenny which multiplied the spun thread production capacity of a single worker — initially eightfold and subsequently much further. Others [4] credit the original invention to Thomas Highs. Industrial unrest and a failure to patent the invention until 1770 forced Hargreaves from Blackburn, but his lack of protection of the idea allowed the concept to be exploited by others. As a result, there were over 20,000 Spinning Jennies in use by the time of his death. Again in 1764, Thorp Mill, the first water-powered cotton mill in the world was constructed at Royton, Lancashire, England. It was used for carding cotton. With the spinning and weaving process now mechanized, cotton mills cropped up all over the North West of England.
Firstly, he use of water power to drive mills was supplemented by steam driven water pumps, and then superseded completely by the steam engines. For example Samuel Greg joined his uncle's firm of textile merchants, and, on taking over the company in 1782, he sought out a site to establish a mill.Quarry Bank Mill was built on the River Bollin at Styal in Cheshire. It was initially powered by a water wheel, but installed steam engines in 1810.Quarry Bank Mill in Cheshire still exists as a well preserved museum, having been in use from its construction in 1784 until 1959. It also illustrates how the mill owners exploited child labour, taking orphans from nearby Manchester to work the cotton. It shows that these children were housed, clothed, fed and provided with some education. In 1830, the average power of a mill engine was 48 hp, but Quarry Bank mill installed an new 100 hp water wheel.[5] William Fairbairn addressed the problem of line-shafting and was responsible for improving the efficiency of the mill. In 1815 he replaced the wooden turning shafts that drove the machines at 50rpm, to wrought iron shafting working at 250 rpm, these were a third of the weight of the previous ones and absorbed less power.[5]
Secondly, in 1830, using a 1822 patent, Richard Roberts manufactured the first loom with a cast iron frame, the Roberts Loom.[3] In 1842 James Bullough and William Kenworthy, made the Lancashire Loom . It is a semi automatic power loom. Although it is self-acting, it has to be stopped to recharge empty shuttles. It was the mainstay of the Lancashire cotton industry for a century, when the [ Originally, power looms were shuttle-operated but in the early part of the 20th century the faster and more efficient shuttleless loom came into use. Today, advances in technology have produced a variety of looms designed to maximize production for specific types of material. The most common of these are air-jet looms and water-jet looms. Industrial looms can weave at speeds of six rows per second and faster.
Thirdly, also in 1830, Richard Roberts patented the first self-acting mule. Stalybridge mule spinners strike was in 1824,this stimulated research into the problem of applying power to the winding stroke of the mule.[6] The draw while spinning had been assisted by power, but the push of the wind had been done manually by the spinner, the mule could be operated by semiskilled labour. Before 1830, the spinner would operate a partially-powered mule with a maximum of 400 spindles after, self-acting mules with up to 1300 spindles could be built.[7]
The industrial revolution changed the nature of work and society The three key drivers in these changes were textile manufacturing, iron founding and steam power.[8][9] [10][11] The geographical focus of textile manufacture in Britain was Manchester, England and the small towns of the Pennines and southern Lancashire.
Textile production in England peaked in 1926, and as mills were decommissioned, many of the scrapped mules and looms were bought up and reinstated in India. The demographic change made by the Great European War, had made the labour-intensive industry un-profitable in England, but in India and later China it was an aid to development.
There are five stages[13]
Natural fibres are either from animals (sheep, goat, rabbit, silk-worm) mineral (asbestos) or from plants (cotton, flax, sisal). These vegetable fibres can come from the seed (cotton), the stem (known as bast fibres: flax,Hemp,Jute) or the leaf (sisal).[15] Without exception, many processes are needed before a clean even staple is obtained- each with a specific name. With the exception of silk, each of these fibres is short being only centimetres in length, and each has a rough surface that enables it to bond with similar staples.[16]
Arificial fibres can be processed as long fibres or batched and cut so they can be processed like a natural fibre.
The MFA was introduced in 1974 as a short-term measure intended to allow developed countries to adjust to imports from the developing world. Developing countries have a natural advantage in textile production because it is labor intensive and they have low labor costs. According to a World Bank/International Monetary Fund (IMF) study, the system has cost the developing world 27 million jobs and $40 billion a year in lost exports. [17]
However, the Arrangement was not negative for all developing countries. For example the European Union (EU) imposed no restrictions or duties on imports from the very poorest countries, such as Bangladesh, leading to a massive expansion of the industry there.
At the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade (GATT) Uruguay Round, it was decided to bring the textile trade under the jurisdiction of the World Trade Organization. The Agreement on Textiles and Clothing provided for the gradual dismantling of the quotas that existed under the MFA. This process was completed on 1 January 2005. However, large tariffs remain in place on many textile products.
Bangladesh was expected to suffer the most from the ending of the MFA, as it was expected to face more competition, particularly from China. However, this was not the case. It turns out that even in the face of other economic giants, Bangladesh’s labor is “cheaper than anywhere else in the world.” While some smaller factories were documented making pay cuts and layoffs, most downsizing was essentially speculative – the orders for goods kept coming even after the MFA expired. In fact, Bangladesh's exports increased in value by about $500 million in 2006.[18]

History
[edit] Cottage stage
Main article: Textile
manufacturing by pre-industrial methods
Prior to the 17th century, the manufacture of goods was performed on a
limited scale by individual workers. This was usually on their own
premises (such as weavers' cottages) – and goods were transported around the
country clothiers visited the village with their
trains of pack-horses. Some of the cloth was made into clothes for
people living in the same area and a large amount of cloth was exported.
Rivers
navigations were constructed, and some contour following canals. In
the early 18th century, artisans were inventing ways to become more
productive. Silk,
Wool, Fustian,
and Linen
were being eclipsed by Cotton which was becoming the most important textile.
This set the foundations for the changes. .[1]
It was during the late medieval period, cotton
became imported into northern Europe,
without any knowledge of what it came from other than that it was a plant;
noting its similarities to wool, people in the region could only imagine
that cotton must be produced by plant-borne sheep. John Mandeville, writing in 1350, stated as fact the
now-preposterous belief: "There grew there [India] a wonderful tree
which bore tiny lambs on the endes of its branches. These branches were
so pliable that they bent down to allow the lambs to feed when they are
hungry." This aspect is retained in the name for cotton in many European
languages, such as German Baumwolle, which translates as "tree wool".
By the end of the 16th century, cotton was cultivated throughout the
warmer regions of Asia and the Americas.In Roman times, wool, linen and leather had clothed the European population and silk, imported along the Silk Road from China, was an extravagant luxury. The use of flax fibre in the manufacturing of cloth in Northern Europe dates back to Neolithic times.
The main steps are: Producing the fibre, preparing it, converting it to yarn, converting yarn to grey cloth and then finishing the cloth. The cloth is then taken to the manufacturer of garments.

looms, see Power loom.
For further details of the operation and history of
spinning mules, see Spinning
mule.
With the Cartwright Loom, the Spinning Mule and the Boulton &
Watt steam engine, the pieces were in place to build a mechanised
textile industry. From this point there were no new inventions, but a
continuous improvement in technology as the mill-owner strove to reduce
cost and improve quality. Developments in the transport infrastructure;
that is the canals and after 1831 the railways facilitated the import of
raw materials and export of finished cloth.Firstly, he use of water power to drive mills was supplemented by steam driven water pumps, and then superseded completely by the steam engines.

[edit] Fibres
Artificial fibres can be are made by extruding a polymer, through a spinneret into a medium where it hardens. Wet spinning (rayon) uses a coagulating medium In dry spinning (acetate and triacetate), the polymer is contained in a solvent that evaporates in the heated exit chamber. In melt spinning (nylons and polyesters) the extruded polymer is cooled in gas or air and then sets.[14] . All these fibres will be of great length, often kilometers log.Natural fibres are either from animals (sheep, goat, rabbit, silk-worm) mineral (asbestos) or from plants (cotton, flax, sisal). These vegetable fibres can come from the seed (cotton), the stem (known as bast fibres: flax,Hemp,Jute) or the leaf (sisal).[15] Without exception, many processes are needed before a clean even staple is obtained- each with a specific name.

Arificial fibres can be processed as long fibres or batched and cut so they can be processed like a natural fibre.
[edit] Commerce and Regulation
The Multi Fibre Arrangement (MFA) governed the world trade in textiles and garments from 1974 through 2004, imposing quotas on the amount developing countries could export to developed countries. It expired on 1 January 2005.The MFA was introduced in 1974 as a short-term measure intended to allow developed countries to adjust to imports from the developing world.

It turns out that even in the face of other economic giants, Bangladesh’s labor is “cheaper than anywhere else in the world.” While some smaller factories were documented making pay cuts and layoffs, most downsizing was essentially speculative – the orders for goods kept coming even after the MFA expired. In fact, Bangladesh's exports increased in value by about $500 million in 2006.[18]
