Electronics component manufacturers will need to establish in-house design teams and achieve Six Sigma quality standards<\/a> to benefit from the government\u2019s Electronics Components Manufacturing Scheme<\/a> (ECMS), Union Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw<\/a> said on Saturday.
Speaking at the launch of the ECMS guidelines portal, Vaishnaw emphasized that while these requirements are not part of the formal approval criteria, they will play a key role in the evaluation of applications.\u201cWe have not included that as a formal criteria of approval, but I am saying in front of you that it will be like an informal criteria,\u201d he said.
The minister stressed the importance of design capabilities<\/a>, noting that some companies have already set up design teams with up to 5,000 engineers. \u201cIf you don\u2019t have a design team and even if you are fulfilling all your parameters, we will not approve you. Design teams have to be set up,\u201d he added.
Vaishnaw also urged manufacturers to maintain the highest quality standards, calling for adherence to Six Sigma \u2014 a methodology aimed at minimizing defects and ensuring near-perfect output, as reported news agency PTI. \u201cNothing less than Six Sigma will be tolerated. We will be evaluating your progress, not just on manufacturing volume, but also on the quality that you produce,\u201d he said.
He further noted that some companies have already begun producing dyes and tools required for manufacturing finished electronics components, a step he welcomed as part of India\u2019s growing electronics ecosystem.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
