WHAT IS GOING ON AT MIT Tanzania SME sector is dominated by micro and small scale enterprises. The large part of Micro enterprises is informal. The enterprises ESPECIALLY IN MANUFACTURING are confronted with high cost of production due to disorganized working sites and layout of factories; Poor handling of material; poor control of waste & defects; insensitivity to environmental control; under- utilization of working space, machines and workers. The operators in this sub-sector are facing problem in business management, marketing and price control. They are also, weak in record keeping. All these made it necessary for the country to adopt KAIZEN IDEA The idea is articulating on continuous improvement of quality and productivity.

enterprises so that they become role model This is calling for collaborators to disseminate KAIZEN idea country –wide so that to improve productivity and competitiveness of business sector. We have started with manufacturing industries but later on the service sector will follow
