The DOST-NCR conducted series of on-site orientations on the Manufacturing Productivity Consultancy Program (MPCP) for twelve (12) micro, small and medium enterprises (MSMEs) in Metro Manila from January 4 to 16, 2023.
DOST-NCR Assistant Regional Director for Technical Support Services (TSS) Dr. Elvin B. Almazar and technical experts from AJV Management Consultancy led the needs assessment of the MSMEs. The Team also provided recommendations for improvement of the firms’ overall operations and processes to increase productivity and efficiency.
Interventions under the MPCP include plant lay-out, production planning and control, occupational health and safety, training in Good Manufacturing Practices, food safety, productivity tools and concepts, assistance on FDA requirements and application, and product design and labeling.
On the other hand, MSMEs who are already well-equipped in managing their daily operational processes will be provided with higher level of assistance.
Said consultancy program will run until February 2023.
