MoU with IED, Odisha

The Hon’ble Prime Minister has announced the ZED (Zero Defects Zero Effects) Scheme, which will be effective from 1st April 2017, opens the gates to MSMEs for rising to the top, gaining recognition and renown, becoming brand leaders.

The ZED scheme is a management-led programme to eliminate defects in industrial production, a quality ensuring mechanism aimed at reducing the defects through prevention of their occurrence. It endeavours to motivate people to avoid mistakes by developing a constant, conscious desire to do their job right the first time.

The scheme seeks to directly reverse the ‘easy’ atitude towards inaccuracy and imprecision. It involves reconditioning the entrepreneurs/workers to take personal interest in everything they do by convincing them that the work of entrepreneurs and industry workers is as important and relevant as that of a surgeon’s. The zero defects theory broadly consists of a 14-step quality improvement programme based on four principles known as the Absolutes of Quality Management: 1. Quality is conformance to requirements. 2. Defect prevention is preferable to quality inspection and correction. 3. Zero defects is the quality standard. 4. Quality is measured in monetary terms, as the price of non-conformance (PONC).

The first principle is simple and self-explanatory. The second principle is a dictum of common sense: conforming to specifications with strict accuracy and precision saves a great deal of time and trouble (incurred in corrections and re-doing), which naturally culminates in elimination of anxiety and significant saving in cost. The third principle is rather normative: delineating ‘acceptable’ error/defect levels encourages imprecision and sloppiness. Therefore, ‘perfection’ should be the policy stipulation – no margins.

The fourth principle is the pivot on which hinges the entire ZED philosophy. Oftentimes the savings resulting from improvements in quality far exceed the costs. Thus translating quality conformance into monetary (cost) terms enables the measuring of progress, which provides an index for appropriately rewarding the workers. Further, making the goal measurable facilitates concrete actions and lends clarity to decisions.

As per the provisions of the ZED Scheme announced by the Government of India, any entrepreneur desiring to be evaluated and rated by the ZED Maturity Assessment Model will be assessed at the operational level on 50 parameters falling in four sets, as follows: enablers for product quality (17); enablers for emission, effluent and waste disposal activities (9); enablers for resource management (10); and outcomes (14).

The MSME applicant has to comply with 20 essential parameters (identified), and at least 10 other parameters, as per the unit’s domain competency, i.e., sector of operation and type of industry. Thus the MSMEs will be rated on a minimum of 30 parameters. However, they may seek ZED rating on more than 30 parameters as per the processes and systems available at their respective units.

Each parameter has five levels of rating, which will be based on a weighted average level. The rating starts at the level of 2.2, below which there is no rating. The five levels of rating are respectively named: Bronze (2.2 to 2.5); Silver (2.5 to 3.0); Gold (3.0 to 3.5); Diamond (3.5 to 4.0); and Platinum (4.0 to 5.0). The applicant unit will be encouraged, hand-held and trained to achieve a higher level for each parameter and thus elevate itself in the maturity model.

ni-msme will direct efforts towards creating awareness and motivate the entrepreneurs to opt for ZED rating their enterprises, by organising awareness campaigns, workshops, discussion forums, etc., and also incorporate modules in the training programmes, wherever relevant.

Capacity building for Providing

alternative livelihood oppotunites for

poor (CBALO) is one of the best

training programme. I have ever attended in my career this type of trainings. I have learned many

topics/subjects which are related to

livelihoods. Further I have visited

various important institutions and places related to MSME and Livelihood Sector. I have gained rich experience from this training by lectures, case studies, presentations & visits

etc. I thank to Ministry of External Affairs , Government of

India and Indian Embassy in Sri Lanka for providing this

golden opportunity to me.

Athula Kithsiri Liyanage, Assistant Director (Planning), Sri Lanka

“ H a v i n g d e a l t w i t h w o m e n entrepreneurs on a small scale in my day to day work, I realised that the problem of women wasn't just capital, but luck of confidence and knowledge. The opportunity to study abroad on women and entrepreneurship couldn't have come at a better time. The

Empowerment of Women through Enterprises program was a life changing one. Apart from the rich knowledge we were empowered with in the classroom setup, the program also exposed us to real women working on real things. The program schedule was well structured to allow for in-house lectures, guest speakers as well as field tours which in a whole gave us a great experience. I would like to thank the great Indian Government for giving me an opportunity to participate in such a life changing programme.”

About ni-msme - Wow! Terrific! India? It was such a mixed feeling when I was awarded the scholarship to

be part of the International Training Programme at NI-MSME in Hyderabad. I had always wondered what

India (a developing country) could offer but I have a different frame of mind now. I didn’t just come to India

but I came to an INCREDIBLE INDIA. I learnt that SMEs play a vital role in kindling entrepreneurship and

investments: providing massive employment opportunities; promoting creativity and innovation; and

developing new expertise. The NI-MSME milieu is very serene and magnificent. This includes the lecture

halls, dining hall complex, and the guest house. Indeed it’s a home away from home

Cultural Evening

t’s 27th October - the eve of the five-day grand festival of lights. The Sun had gone to sleep I

behind violet dark drape and the festive lights came out all around in resplendent glory competing with stars in the sky. And ni-msme campus is robed in gay frivolity of colour and sparkle, postured to sway on the tides of rhythms that the evening would unroll – it’s the international cultural nite at ni-msme!

Keeping fast to the Institute’s tradition, on the 27th of October ni-msme had organised a cultural evening for the recreation of foreign delegates, who would complete their 8-week long training at the Institute. The campus – especially the amphitheatre Kalangan – was dressed in graceful and pleasing light and colour. Hon’ble Union minister of state for MSME Mr. Haribhai Parthibhai Chaudhary lighted the lamp and inaugurated the festive event. Director General Mr. M. Chandrasekhar Reddy, members of faculty and international delegates followed the minister. His presence through the programme was a happy bonus to the gathering.

The delegates presented song and dance numbers of their countries and cultures, skits and items. Items of Indian music and dance were also presented from the side of the Institute to enthrall the foreign friends. The dances with firepots and roller skates rendered by Ms. Gauravi drew high applause. Spirit of fun ruled the mood and everybody crooned and glided under the spell of lilting tunes that permeated the campus atmosphere.

Ms. Juliet of Kenya, Communication Skills in English and Tourism and Hospitality Management (ETHM) and Ms. Ruth of Ghana, Innovative Strategies for SME Development (ISSD) donned the mantle of master of ceremonies throughout the event.
