Quality
Certification
Quality certification has
become extremely important in competitive markets and especially in gaining
foothold in exports. To avail the certification of ISO-9000, a unit has to
undertake significant costs; the small scale industries have been found wanting
mainly on account of resource crunch to implement quality systems to obtain
this certification. However, as a paradigm shift, SSI must make 'Quality' a way
of life.
It has been decided to push the quality upgradation
programme in the SSI Sector in a big way.
A scheme has been launched to give financial incentive to
those SSI units who acquire ISO-9000 certification, by reimbursing 75% of their
costs of obtaining certification, subject to a maximum of Rs. 0.75 lacs per
unit.
In order to promote modernisation and technology
upgradation in SSI, the units are assisted in improving the quality of their
products.
A new scheme has been launched to assist SSI units in
obtaining ISO-9000 or an equivalent international quality standard. Subject to
an upper ceiling of Rs. 075 lacs, each unit is given financial assistance equal
to 75% of the costs incurred in acquiring the quality standard.
The SSI units are also encouraged to participate in
quality awareness and learning programmes organised specially for their
benefit.
