O’r coronafeirws i Brexit a datgarboneiddio – mae gweithgynhyrchu yn mynd drwy un o’r cyfnodau mwyaf dwys a heriol mewn hanes.


Y llynedd, yng Nghymru yn unig, roedd dros 150,000 o bobl wedi’u cyflogi yn y sector, ond mae cyfres o ffactorau allanol gan gynnwys y pandemig a cholli swyddi amlwg yn mynd i olygu gostyngiad yn y ffigur hwnnw dros y misoedd nesaf.


Bydd y Gweinidog yn lansio ymgynghoriad dros bedair wythnos wedi ei anelu at gefnogi a sicrhau bod y sector yn barod ar gyfer y dyfodol mewn Uwchgynhadledd Weithgynhyrchu o bell, ledled Cymru heddidw.


Bydd y cynllun, Dyfodol Gweithgynhyrchu i Gymru – Fframwaith Gweithredu, yn cael ei ddatblygu i edrych ar sut y gall Llywodraeth Cymru, diwydiant, academia a’r Undebau Llafur gydweithio i sicrhau dyfodol y sector gweithgynhyrchu yng Nghymru.


Meddai Ken Skates, Gweinidog yr Economi:



> “Daw yr ymgynghoriad hwn wrth inni wynebu argyfwng economaidd na welsom ei debyg – un sy’n bygwth bodolaeth cwmnïau gweithgynhyrchu ledled y DU.
> 
> 
> “Mae gan weithgynhyrchu hanes maith a balch yng Nghymru ac mae yn parhau i chwarae rhan hynod bwysig yn ein heconomi a bywoliaeth ein pobl a’n cymunedau.
> 
> 
> “Mae sicrhau bod y sector yn barod at y dyfodol yn hollol hanfodol er mwyn adfer o’r heriau presennol ac wynebu y rhai a ddaw.
> 
> 
> “Bydd y cynllun newydd yn hanfodol er mwyn rhoi ffocws i sicrhau dyfodol ein gallu i weithgynhyrchu a nodi’r camau sydd eu hangen i ddatblygu sector gweithgynhyrchu cadarn, uwch.


Roedd Llywodraeth Cymru wedi dechrau gwaith ar gynllun newydd ar gyfer gweithgynhyrchu cyn y coronafeirws.


Cafwyd trafodaethau gyda cymdeithasau’r diwydiant a’r undebau llafur ar y camau sydd angen eu cymryd i ddatblygu sector gweithgynhyrchu cadarn â gwerth uchel.


Yr ymgynghoriad, fydd yn fyw ar wefan Llywodraeth Cymru heddiw, yw’r cam nesaf i ddatblygu’r cynllun a fydd ar agor tan 19 Hydref er mwyn i bobl rannu eu barn.


Ychwanegodd y Gweiniodg:



> “Mae’n rhaid inni newid ein cymuned weithgynhyrchu – gan gynnwys ei chadwyni cyflenwi – i un sy’n fwy o ran gweithgareddau ‘gwerth uchel’ ac sy’n cael effaith bositif ar gymunedau lleol.
> 
> 
> “Mae angen inni hefyd weld gweithlu sydd â sgiliau cryf, modern sy’n gallu cyflawni’r cynnyrch a’r technolegau ar gyfer economi y dyfodol.
> 
> 
> “Bydd cydweithio yn allweddol wrth gyflawni hyn a bydd y cynllun yn bwysig i ddangos sut y mae Llywodraeth Cymru, diwydiant, academia a’r Undebau Llafur yn cydweithio’n effeithiol er budd dyfodol y sector.
> 
> 
> “Byddwn yn mynd ymlaen â’r gwaith hwn ar fyrder ac yn bwrpasol, ac rwy’n annog unrhyw un sydd â diddordeb i leisio eu barn yn ystod y cyfnod ymgynghori hwn.


Mae Llywodraeth Cymru yn bwriadu cyhoeddi’r cynllun terfynol cyn diwedd y flwyddyn.

From coronavirus to Brexit and decarbonisation – manufacturing is going through one of the most intense and challenging periods in its history.

Last year, in Wales alone there were more than 150,000 people employed in the sector but a range of external factors including the pandemic and high profile redundancies are set to drive a reduction in that figure over the coming months.

The Minister will launch the four\-week consultation aimed at supporting and future\-proofing the sector at a remotely\-held, Wales wide Manufacturing Summit today.

The plan, A Manufacturing Future for Wales – A Framework for Action, is being developed to look at how the Welsh Government, industry, academia and the Trade Unions can work together to secure the future of the manufacturing sector in Wales.

Economy Minister Ken Skates said:


> “This consultation comes as we face an economic crisis like no other \- one that threatens the very existence of manufacturing companies across the UK.
> 
> “Manufacturing has a long proud history in Wales and continues to play an incredibly important role in our economy and the livelihoods of our people and communities.
> 
> “Ensuring the sector is future\-proof is absolutely essential in recovering from current challenges and facing those to come.
> 
> “The new plan will be crucial in providing a focus for securing the future of our manufacturing capability and identifying the steps needed to develop a resilient, advanced manufacturing sector.

The Welsh Government had begun work on a new plan for manufacturing prior to the coronavirus pandemic.

Discussions had taken place with industry associations and the trade unions on the steps needed to develop a resilient and high value manufacturing sector.

The consultation which goes live on the Welsh Government website today is the next phase of developing the plan and will be open until 19 October for people to provide their views.

The Minister added:


> “We have to transition our manufacturing community \- including its supply chains \- to one, which is increasingly involved in ‘high value’ activities and makes a positive impact on local communities.
> 
> “We also need to see a workforce with strong, up to date skills able to deliver the products and technologies for the future economy.
> 
> “Collaboration will be key in delivering this and the plan will be important in showing how Welsh Government, industry, academia and the Trade Unions can work together effectively for the benefit of the sector’s future.
> 
> “We will take this work forward with pace and purpose, and I encourage anyone with an interest to make their views known during this consultation period.

The Welsh Government intends to publish the final plan before the end of the year.
