The ‘Tamil Nadu Technology Development & Promotion Centre’ (TNTDPC)
- a joint initiative of the Government of Tamil Nadu and the Confederation of
Indian Industry, recently conducted a study on Resource Use Management of Small
Scale Industries in Adoption of Recommended Technologies supported by Department
of Scientific & Industrial Research (DSIR), Government of India.
This research study on analysis of resource use management of
small scale industries in adoption of recommended technologies has been carried
out for select sectors. The Textile, Food Processing, Leather and Auto
Components Sectors in and around Chennai have been studied in the report.
Most SMEs, particularly the smaller ones, lack the necessary
resources to commit to long-term strategies and investments. Their management is
largely involved in daily operational practice, and there is no time or money
available for activities not directly related to the primary process. There is
lack of awareness on the added value of resource use management as a powerful
tool to meet their business objectives and may not be aware of the benefits that
accrue from implementation of the system.
The report mainly concentrates on integrated resource management
for maximization of returns from available expertise and inputs. It assesses
the status of management of available resources by SMEs and it recommends
solutions to overcome encountered barriers. The conclusions and recommendations
of the report have been arrived at through an interactive process as well as
through statistical research tools, however, the final position may not be
reflected fully.
A documentary film made for the four selected sectors that shows
the technological progress right from the production till marketing, recommended
manufacturing practices, recent technologies/techniques adapted for each sector.
In addition to technical information on each sector, the objective is to
disseminate information about modern technology/ techniques through mass media
(print and electronic) for transfer of technology to the industry. Please click
