Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) are the pillar of India’s economy, contributing significantly to economic growth through manufacturing, exports, innovation, and employment generation. However, MSMEs often lack access to advanced technologies, quality tools, and management practices that can help improve productivity and competitiveness.
WHAT IS ZED CERTIFICATION?
The Zed (Zero Defect Zero Effect) scheme, launched by the Government of India, aims to rate MSMEs on quality and environmental compliance. The goal is to assist MSMEs in manufacturing quality products with no defects using clean technology that has zero adverse environmental or ecological effects. By adopting Zed certification standards and methodology, MSMEs can target national and global markets more effectively.
Benefits of Zed Excellence for MSMEs
Achieving Zed excellence can provide several benefits for MSMEs:
- Improved product quality and fewer defects leading to enhanced customer satisfaction
- Reduction in wastage and cost of poor quality
- Better workplace safety, health & hygiene standards
- Savings in energy, water consumption, and waste generation
- Higher resource efficiency and lower environmental impact
- Competitive edge due to process improvements
- Trust and recognition as quality-conscious enterprises
- Steps for MSMEs to Achieve Zed Excellence
HOW TO GET ZED CERTIFICATION?
To obtain ZED certification, you need to follow the guidelines and requirements set by the ZED (Zero Defect Zero Effect) certification program. This may involve implementing sustainable and environmentally friendly practices in your business operations, ensuring zero defects in your products or services, and meeting the specific criteria outlined by the ZED certification body. You will need to undergo an assessment process to demonstrate your compliance with the ZED standards and may need to make changes to your processes or systems to meet the certification requirements. Once you have successfully met the criteria, you can apply for ZED certification through the designated certification body or authority.
