The Scheme:-
Design Clinic is a
tested strategic model of design intervention, where
a solution to an existing design problem is diagnosed
and remedial steps suggested by a multi-disciplinary
team of design experts. In this scheme, the value
additions to an idea or a concept are imparted through
interaction at a lesser cost to a specific industry/sector.
It applies to a sector that requires intervention,
like manufacturing etc, as the existing conventional
models of design consultancy and training are not
viable. These models bring design exposure to the
door-step of industry clusters for design improvement,
evaluation, analysis and adopting even long-term
consultancy/design related intervention
Objectives:-
The main objective
of the Design Clinic is to bring the MSME sector
and design expertise into a common platform, to
provide expert advice and solutions on real time
design problems, resulting in continuous improvement
and value addition for existing products. It also
aims at value added cost effective solutions. These
Design Clinics in clusters of the country are to
usher in a continuous competitive advantage to the
MSMEs.
Activities:-
The broad activities
planned under the scheme include creation of Design
Clinics Centre along with four regional centres
for intervention on the design needs of the MSME
Sector. Further these centres will have linkages
with engineering, management, design institutes
of the country.
