Important Prerequisite

Ethiopia has been one of the world’s fastest-growing economies since 2003. This success has been achieved largely through public investment in infrastructure and agricultural productivity. Building on these accomplishments, the country has embarked on an ambitious programme of export-led industrialization anchored in the manufacturing sector. An important prerequisite for success is the ability of countries and their firms to engage in constant technological learning and to acquire new technologies—technologies essential to the production and export of high-quality products. This chapter reviews the process of technological learning and upgrading in Ethiopia and assesses whether the country is accumulating the technological capability needed for export-led growth. It argues that while recent growth has generated momentum for knowledge accumulation, the gap with competitor countries remains wide. It also identifies the main channels and drivers of technology transfer and technological learning in Ethiopia. Trade and FDI are singled out as crucial.

Capacity Cost

The Electrical & Electronic (E&E) company is one of Malaysia’s leading industries that has 24.5% in manufacturing sector production. With a continuous innovation of E&E company, the current costing being used is hardly to access the complete activities with variations required for each workstation to measure the un-used capacity in term of resources and cost. The objective of this work is to develop a new costing structure using time-driven activity-based costing (TDABC) at . This data collection was obtained at E&E company located at Kuantan, Pahang that focusing on magnetic component. The historical data was considered in 2018. TDABC is used to measure the un-used capacity by constructing the time equation and capacity cost rate. This work found three conditions of un-used capacity. Type I is pessimistic situation whereby according to winding toroid core, the un-used capacity of time and cost are -14820 hours and -MYR2.60 respectively. It means the system must sacrifice the time and cost more than actual apportionment. Type II is most likely situation whereby according to assembly process, the un-used capacity of time and cost are 7400 hours and MYR201575.45 respectively. It means the system minimize the time and cost which close to fully utilize from the actual apportionment. Type III is optimistic situation whereby according to alignment process, the un-used capacity of time and cost are 4120 hours and MYR289217.15 respectively. It means the system used small amount of cost and time from the actual apportionment.
