Highlights of the ZED certification scheme
- Zero Defect Zero Effect (ZED) is an indigenous, integrated & holistic maturity assessment model that aims at enhancing the global competitiveness of MSMEs by gauging the manufacturer’s maturity in several disciplines viz. Quality, Production, Safety, Design, Environment, Energy, IPR etc. and gradually building their capabilities to become world class.
- MSMEs adopting ZED would be driven towards responsible manufacturing, and will not only benefit in terms of enhanced profit, strengthened processes & systems but also by being identified as MSMEs with difference.
Process involved in ZED certification scheme
- The Free Online Registration of the applicant MSME where a ZED ID is generated.
- The next stage is a Free Online Self-Assessment (OSA) on parameters relevant to the enterprise. This stage is intended to make the MSME understand the level of its own systems and processes.
- In the next step of Desktop Assessment (DA), the applicant MSME uploads relevant photos/documents as evidence supporting self-assessment done earlier.
- Following this step, a Site Assessment (SA) of the applicant’s manufacturing unit is done. The ZED certified assessors carry out a physical assessment of the enterprise and the entire process is carried out with the help of a mobile/tab application ensuring ‘ZERO USE OF PAPER’.
- The applicant MSME may also opt for a ZED qualified Consultant for handholding.
