“To make an Aatmanirbhar Bharat, our MSMEs have an important role to play and that is why we have launched the ZED Certification Scheme to improve their quality, productivity and also exports.”

“Our MSMEs’ contribution is second only to agriculture and they have an important role to play in the country’s economic development. ZED Scheme has been launched to boost the competitiveness of our MSMEs.”

“ZED certification is dedicated to the Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises of India and it has been designed keeping in mind the intricacies of the MSME sector.”

“Zero Defect Zero Defect (ZED) has the potential to become a movement to bring about a revolution in the MSME segment to enhance their global competitiveness.”

“We have tried to inculcate concept of quality vs cost of doing business and that is perhaps one of the most important point of this upscale zed scheme.”

“The adoption of ZED principles will bring in credibility & recognition, sustainability & competitiveness in the MSME fibre. It will lead to superior quality & reduced rejections and most importantly increase in social benefits.”

“The ZED Scheme has been divided in 2 phases; first phase is for manufacturing MSMEs and the second phase will include MSMEs from service sector also.”

“I am happy to see that lot of changes have been done in the upscaled ZED Scheme, and this will help improve our suppliers’ capability”

“I am pleased to see that the ZED scheme has captured all the good points of best practices like lean manufacturing, waste reduction, 5-S, Swachh Bharat, social responsibilities etc.”

"As part of implementation of ZED, we carried out Kaizen on our ETP plant and saved - 1.39 Lakhs worth of electricity, annually. Also, ZED enhanced our productivity and efficiency multi-fold. I am extremely thankful to the ZED system."

"ZED certificate has various different certificates combined together in one place which otherwise we have to get from different agencies and different certificates. If we take ZED certificate then we won't need to go for various multiple certificates and there are many processes which are not available in other certificates but are available in ZED."

"Awareness is the highlight of this program. There were a lot of techniques that we didn't know existed and if implemented correctly, these will give you huge profits. We got to know this because of ZED. I highly recommend ZED certification to all MSMEs."
