<h1>National quality sprint to align MSMEs with global value chains through cluster programmes and industry led quality courses.</h1> A national quality sprint was proposed to align MSMEs with global value chains through cluster based interventions targeting measurable operational improvements within 12 months. IFQM paired this agenda with industry led, actionable mechanisms: cluster development, a Quality Excellence Prize with a multi stage assessment, a Leadership Development Course, a Zero Defect Manufacturing course, and an Excellence in Manufacturing Engineering course to build capacity, benchmark quality systems, and enable export competitiveness.
