THE TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS FOR PURCHASE OF EQUIPMENT AND SUPPLIES 1. General Background Information The Trade Related Technical Assistance (TRTA II) Programme is a project funded by the European Union (EU) which aims at strengthening the capacity of Pakistan to participate in international trade. The Financing Agreement was signed by the European Commission on 30 June 2009 and countersigned by the Government of Pakistan on 28 August 2009. Total programme value is €10,045,000, made up of funding of € 9,545,000 by the EC and €500,000 contribution from UNIDO, which will manage the overall programme implementation.
The overall objective of the programme is to contribute to poverty reduction and sustainable development in Pakistan. The specific purpose is to support economic integration of Pakistan into the global and regional economy and to stimulate decent work and employment creation by increasing exports and enhancing the enabling climate for international trade. The programme activities are to be implemented through three components:
Component 1: Trade policy capacity building; the expected result is increased relevance and effectiveness of trade policy
Component 2: Export development through improvement of quality infrastructure; the expected result is improved compliance of export products with market requirements
Component 3: Strengthening of the intellectual property rights system; the expected result is a modernized IP system that facilitates increased investment and trade in IP protected goods and services
1.1 As a result of the benchmarking exercise conducted under the TRTA II programme in the cutlery sector it was identified that to improve productivity and

environmental condition on workspace new technology is required at the polishing stage i-e rolling polish machines. Further investigation has informed that roller machines work best for the knife and dagger industry, whereas, the vibrator ones will work well with tableware and cutlery.
Under the current practices it takes almost a week to prepare a batch of knives, or cutlery. Polishing has been identified as the key bottleneck in the process. Replacing this with a faster technology can bring down the batch production to one day instead of a week. This will considerably reduce the need for inventory investment and also improve quality, environment and employment.
The roller polishing machine, proposed to be installed in a proportion of 3, will sextuple the process by polishing 6 cutlery pieces per minute. Below is the process which the cutlery products have to undergo. Evident from the graph is the break preceding polishing. Thus, focusing on expediting the post-break portion of the process, the roller polishing machine can successfully shorten the polishing time of the full daily output from the preceding steps i.e. 220 dozens of cutlery pieces, from 7 working days to 1 working day.
Within the roller polishing process, there are three processes undertaken by either three separate machines or by one machine with three different rollers sequentially, facilitated by conveyor belts in between. Each step can take up different capacities of cutlery pieces, ranging from 5 to 30 pieces at a time. A sample process is illustrated below with each step taking 5 dozens of cutlery pieces at a time.
5 dozen=10 min 5 dozen=10 min 5 dozen=10 min 5 dozen=10 min 10 dozen=20 min 10 dozen=20 min 10 dozen=20 min 10 dozen=20 min 20 dozen= 40 min 20 dozen= 40 min 20 dozen= 40 min 20 dozen= 40 min
Based on simulations which have been presented below, it can be inferred that the optimal capacity for a machine to take up at a time is the median i.e.: 10 dozens, Page 2 of 6 TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS Trade Related Technical Assistance (TRTA) Programme-Pakistan given that it exhibits a manageable number of batches and also has an adequate time lag between each machine.
Polishing: Step 1 Step 2 Step 3 Finishing Total # Initial Time of Lag Batches 5 dozens 8am – 8.10am- 8.20am-430 8.30am- 45 10 min 4pm 4.10pm pm 4.30pm
10 dozens 8am- 8.20am- 8.40am- 9.00-5.00pm 24 20 min 4pm 4.20pm 4.40pm 20 dozens 8am- 8.40am- 9.20am- 9.40am-6pm 14 40 in 4pm 4.40pm 5.20pm
Additionally, such roller polishing machines have inbuilt exhausts and dust absorbers, hence from an environmental aspect, they are more friendly in terms of air pollution and worker health concerns.
