Indian scheme trials lean manufacturing measuresLean manufacturing techniques are being trialled in a new scheme taking place in India.

According to the country's Ministry of Micro,Small & Medium Enterprises, the aims of the initiative will include boosting productivity, reducing waste, enhancing productivity and creating effective management systems.

Aimed at micro, small and medium-sized enterprises (MSMEs), the project is intended to increase the competitiveness of firms in the sector, minister of state for MSMEs Shri Dinsha Patel has revealed.

"Imbibing a culture of continuous improvement" has also been cited as a goal of the programme, which will enhance awareness of lean manufacturing among Indian MSMEs and share the costs of consultants between organisations.
