The main objective of this scheme is to bring the manufacturing competitiveness in the MSME Sector. Lean Manufacturing involves applying Lean Techniques (e.g. Total Productive Maintenance (TPM), 5S, Visual control, Standard Operation Procedures, Just in Time, Kanban System, Cellular Layout, Poka Yoke, TPM, etc.) to identify and eliminate waste and streamlines a system. The focus is on making the entire process flow, not improving only a few operations. Worker empowerment is also emphasized throughout the effort.

A financial support by the Government of India up to a maximum of 80% of the Consultant fees for each Mini Cluster will be provided. Remaining 20% is to be borne by the beneficiaries MSME units.

The scheme requires any 10 manufacturing companies belonging to MSME sector to come together, form a SPV, raise 20% of the consulting fee on their own and apply to GOI, MSME using the forms in the following document:

Guidelines For the Implementation of Lean Manufacturing Competitiveness Scheme under National Manufacturing Competitiveness Programme

As the scheme requires identification of nine other companies apart from yours, LMII either will be able to help if such companies have already contacted us, or are in touch with your company with the idea of forming a cluster. As of now, LMII has faculty at Mumbai, Bangalore and Delhi, but is in a position to quickly add faculty as required under this programme.
