NATIONAL MANUFACTURING COMPETIVENESS PROGRAMME SCHEMES

5.1 Lean Manufacturing Competitiveness Scheme:-

The Lean Manufacturing Scheme is basically a business initiative to reduce “waste” in manufacturing process. The objective of the Scheme is to enhance the manufacturing competitiveness of MSMEs through application of various Lean Manufacturing Techniques (e.g. Total Productive Maintenance (TPM), 5S, Visual control, Standard Operation Procedures, Just in Time, Kanban System, Cellular Layout, Poka Yoke, TPM, etc.). National Productivity Council (NPC) and Quality Council of India (QCI) have been selected as National Monitoring and Implementing Units (NMIUs) for the up-scaled scheme. Awareness programmes and workshops are being organized in order to create awareness among the entrepreneurs and further they are motivated to form mini cluster comprising of 6 to 10 units (ideally 10 units) for availing the scheme. Lean Manufacturing (LM) consultants are deployed to help the Special Purpose Vehicle (SPV)/Distinct Product Group (DPG) for LM Interventions for a period of 18 months. 80% of the cost of hiring the lean manufacturing consultant (LMC) is reimbursed through NMIUs to SPVs/Units and 20% of the cost is borne by the SPVs/units. Around 47 LMCS Cluster was formed through QCI and NPC and as of now in Tamil Nadu.

5.2 Bar Coding Scheme:-

The Ministry of Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises (MSME), Govt. of India recognizes the contribution of Micro & Small Enterprises (MSEs) in growth of Indian economy, export promotion and employment generation. In order to enhance the marketing competitiveness of MSEs in domestic as well as international market, Office of Development Commissioner (MSME), Ministry of MSME, provides the financial assistance for reimbursement of 75% of one-time registration fee (Under SSI-MDA Scheme) w.e.f. 1st January,2002 and 75% of annual recurring fee for first three years (Under NMCP Scheme) w.e.f. 1st June,2007 paid by MSEs to GS1 India for using of Bar Coding. The work of reimbursement has been decentralised and transferred to field offices i.e. MSME-DIs w.e.f. 1st April,2009 with a view to ensure speedy & timely and extensive implementation of the scheme.

Bar Coding not only facilitates the exchange of information between buyers and sellers, but also provides the potential for better visibility and sharing of information across an entire Supply Chain. Other benefits are- (i) Automated data capture with 100% accuracy

24

(ii) Real time stock management of raw materials and finished goods (iii) Fast and error free data recording on product/ consignment movement (iv) Easy integration with existing software, if any In compliance with growing requirements of leading national markets (vi) In line with requirements of international retailers (vii) Also gives international look and feel.

5.3 Intellectual Property Rights (IPR):-

Intellectual Property is something produced using human intellect which has commercial value. Protecting the value of the product or service is most important in these competitive markets. Especially in the world of Micro Small entrepreneurs, they are the one man army looking after, right from purchase of raw material, production, marketing, working towards receiving the payment. MSEs are so busy on their daily routine looking after production, debtors and receivables, to expand their market these SMEs must be creative; otherwise these units will slowly shutdown. To provoke and make them aware about creativity and protecting them, MSME-DI Chennai organized two awareness programmes in Chennai and Tiruppur.

5.4 International Trade Fairs:-

To give encouragement to micro, small and medium enterprises in marketing their products in the International Markets, O/o DC-MSME participates in about 10 or more no of trade fairs every year. The MSME Development Institutes invite applications from suitable Micro, Small units under this scheme. The scheme supports a reimbursement of 100% air travel on an economy class for 1 person per unit and limited to the expenses of a total 1.25 lakhs.

5.6 Business Incubators:-

The Aim of the scheme is to promote emerging technological and knowledge based innovative ventures that seek the nurturing of ideas from professionals, to promote and support untapped creativity of individual innovators and also to assist Individual innovators to become technology based entrepreneurs and to promote networking and forging of linkages with other constituents of the innovation chain for commercialization of their developments. The Scheme support each incubates on an average of 6.25 lakhs for a new business. For this financial year 2019-20, 87 incubation applications were approved for the state of Tamil Nadu.

25

5.7 ZED Scheme:- The scheme is an extensive drive to create proper awareness in MSMEs about ZED manufacturing and motivate them for assessment of their enterprise for ZED and support them. After ZED assessment, MSMEs can reduce wastages substantially, increase productivity, expand their market as IOPs, become vendors to CPSUs, have more IPRs, develop new products and processes etc. Total 04 programmes were completed all over the Tamilnadu.
