Keola (2010), ‘Upgrading and Diversification of Industrial Structure in Lao PDR: Prospect and Challenges’, in Banomyong, R. and M. Ishida (eds.), A Study on Upgrading Industrial Structure of CLMV Countries. ERIA Research Project Report 2009-7-3, Jakarta: ERIA. pp.285-314. CHAPTER 7 UPGRADING AND DIVERSIFICATION OF INDUSTRIAL STRUCTURE IN LAO PDR: PROSPECT AND CHALLENGES Leuam Nhongvongsithi and Souknilanh Keola Abstract This chapter examines the prospects and challenges in upgrading and diversifying the industrial, manufacturing in particular, structure in Lao PDR. We first identified major potential industries in Lao PDR and examined their historical developments up to the present. We then tried to find out the bottlenecks or requirements for diversifying as well as upgrading the existing industry, based on findings in investment climate surveys specifically conducted for this study. INTRODUCTION Lao PDR is the only landlocked country in mainland Southeast Asia, bordering Vietnam to the east, Thailand to the west, Cambodia to the south, China to the north and Myanmar to the northeast. Laos occupies a total land area of 236,800 square kilometers, about two-thirds the size of Vietnam. However, with a population of about 6.2 million in 2008, its average population density was just about 26 persons per square kilometers, by far the lowest in the region (National Statistical Center [2008]).

In this paper some insights regarding a literature review carried out about this main subjects analysed are presented and discussed. Moreover, a framework for integrated process planning and scheduling in networked manufacturing systems is proposed and briefly described, along with some main underlying issues, which are further discussed. Thus, the main purpose of this research consists on presenting a proposed methodology, based on the study conducted, to enable to further assist either academia or industry to develop new tools, techniques and approaches for integrated process planning in networked manufacturing environments. The findings and contributions of this research can help in the implementation and improvement in dis- tributed manufacturing environments, to be linked with small and medium enterprises, to further expand their potentialities through well suited integrated process planning and scheduling decision making processes.
