NIMU will monitor every stage of the Program on behalf of the Development Commissioner (MSME)
NPC & QCI are two national level organisations acting as NMIU

7. Implementation of the Scheme
Project will be implemented in 5 Phases/Milestones
Each milestone is validated by an Audit by NMIU
1st Milestone :
Complete Cluster specific Diagnostic Study Report (DSR) covering :
5S, Workplace safety, health, energy conservation, SMED, Total Productive Maintenance, Inventory, Organisation structure,, layout, Process of Manufacturing etc.
Phase Wise Action Plan For Each Member after Discussion
Qualitative, quantitative monetary benefits likely to be achieved at the end of the Project

8. 2nd/3rd/4th/5th/Milestones
Incremental Improvements to next stage on a Scale of
The LMC in close co-ordination with the Cluster will document before and after status of various parameters
Various Documents to be submitted to the Office of the Development Commissioner and MSME from time to time
The 1st, 3rd and the the 5th Milestone Based Reports (MBR), to be audited jointly by NMIU and the DC through field Officers
The implementation time of the Project will be a maximum of 18 months

9. Funding
The Scheme will be implemented through 500 MC’s during the 12th 5 year Plan with the total Project cost of Rs 240 Crs (Rs 204 Crs by GOI & Rs 36 Crs by the beneficiaries)
Payment to LMC will be up to a maximum of Rs 36 Lacs per Cluster
The payment to the Consultant by the SPV would be on a milestone basis in 5 tranches of 20% each
After MBR1, the SPV(Clusture Members) will pay its contribution of 20% Fee to the Consultant (LMC)
The subsequent four tranches will be paid to the LMC out of the Scheme Funds by NMIU through the SPV, representing 80% of the Governments contribution to the Scheme outlay.
