विस्तृत सारांश
Objective
The scheme aims to enhance the manufacturing competitiveness of Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) by facilitating the adoption of Lean Manufacturing techniques. It focuses on reducing waste, improving quality, and increasing productivity through structured consultancy and training interventions.
Implementation Framework
The scheme is implemented through a cluster-based approach. A Special Purpose Vehicle (SPV) is formed comprising a minimum of 6 and a maximum of 10 Udyam-registered manufacturing MSMEs. The SPV engages an empanelled Lean Manufacturing Consultant (LMC) to implement lean tools such as 5S, Kaizen, Value Stream Mapping, Total Productive Maintenance (TPM), and Kanban over a defined project period.
Funding Pattern
The Government of India provides financial assistance up to 80% of the consultant fees for the first three interventions (Awareness Programme, Training, and Implementation). The remaining 20% is contributed by the beneficiary MSMEs. For subsequent interventions, the government share reduces to 60%. The maximum government assistance per cluster is capped as per prevailing guidelines.
