About ZED

ZED (Zero Defect – Zero Effect) is a Manufacturing Excellence Maturity Model developed and implemented by Quality Council of India (QCI). 

 ZED Model has been introduced by Govt of India for Micro Small and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) with a view to improving Manufacturing Competitiveness among MSME Units in the country.

ZED Certification is intended to help organizations assess their current Manufacturing Maturity Levels and identify Gaps to further enhance their Manufacturing Competitiveness. ZED Rating comprises of 5 Levels – Bronze, Silver, Gold, Diamond and Platinum. 

ZED Model
