Manufacturing Sector in Nigeria: Neglect of Professional Standards - By Dr. Olaniyi Opanuga, FNIPM, CPSCOMP.
Unprofessional production and operations managers cannot run manufacturing companies successfully. One of major challenges facing Nigerian Manufacturing Sector is shortage of high level professional production and operations manpower. Yes, we have a myriad of environmental challenges such as the infrastructural, energy and public policy issues but the lack of capacity for creative thinking, innovation, re-engineering and so on is the biggest albatross.

COMPANY DIRECTORS NEED PROFESSIONAL BODIES.
To the detriment of shareholder value many CEOs, COOs, Manufacturing Directors and General Factory/Plant Managers are too “busy” or feel too “big” to learn and share ideas/best practices in the professional network of Professional Production And Operations Management while most manufacturing and operations managers are not professionally qualified for the roles they are playing. Most of them are not professionally registered or certified. Yet they expect their subordinate managers to perform magic without sound professional leadership. Of course, they prefer to replicate policy, strategies, standards and procedures from overseas headquarters or copy competitors who themselves are not doing the right things or learn from their limited experience and apply hauch to serious problem solving and decision making.
