DST Technology Localisation Programme-Stakeholder

Engagement

Rhythm Meeting26 July 2012

TLP: Historical Overview• 2007: CSDP approved by Cabinet

• 2008: TLP strategy developed– Main emphasis on Eskom and Transnet opportunities (~R450b)

• 2010: Increasing no. of projects – Acknowledge technology development is also required (UBRD)– Initiated Foundry TAP programme

• 2011-12: Public procurement & Infrastructure development increasingly becoming a central pillar in our industrialisation strategy

TLP Objectives

• Increase the capability and scope of local production(reduced imports, create and save local jobs)– Assist local firms to improve their competitiveness

(quality, cost, uniqueness, etc.) through provision of:

• Technology Assistance Packages (TAPs)

• Focussed sector intervention (Foundries)

– Support focussed technology development

• Technology/Product Development Grants

Institutional Arrangements

• UNIDO SPX – Supplier Benchmarking & Training• Technology Localisation Implementation Unit (TLIU) hosted at

CSIR• Implementation of DST TAPs

• TLIU - Established with intention to migrate it to most appropriate agency

• Governance & Operations designed by DST• Oversight - Management Committee• TAP delivery processes – designed by DST• TAP approval – DST ExCo• MIS - to be integrated into dti’s database

Developed TAPs

Increased local production & competitiveness

Foundry TAP Programme summaryOutcomes• 24 foundry firms received TAPs.• 14 firms currently have contracts directly or indirectly to SOCs.• 5 firms secured new contracts during or after TAP programme.

Highlights• RIFT Human Capital Development – Group composed of all young female engineers are at

Freiberg University in Germany for their Masters Programme (Advanced Foundry Technologies). CPUT group of students will depart in October 2012 for Rwth Aachen and Rzeszow University, Poland .Internship Programme through Mintek for foundries.

• Technical Expertise - Lean manufacturing principles implementation.• Yield estimation tool & Costing tool – Assist firms to cost products efficiently.• RPT Test Equipment – Is a tool or equipment that determines melt quality prior to pouring.

(Enhanced during the TAP Programme to use compressed air).
