This will be achieved by addressing the constraints that impede the competitiveness of Small and Medium-sized Enterprises (SMEs).

In order to achieve the Activity’s goal (increasing exports in selected sectors), Palladium supports the following three Result areas:
1) Enhanced Export Capacity of SMEs, in particular New and Expanding Export-Ready Enterprises (NEEREs)in Selected Sectors
2) Strengthened Public and Private Trade-Support Institutions (e.g., Trade
Associations, Export Councils, etc.); and
3) Improved Trade and Investment Policy, Regulatory and Institutional Environments

***Primary Duties and Responsibilities**:
**3.1** **Assignment Purposes**:
The objective of this assignment is to recruit a consultant(s) for a selected number of SMEs in the Ready Made Garments Sector, in order to enhance their operational capacities and develop efficient production and managerial processes for the companies in the aforementioned sector, through the attainment of project quality and enhancing work efficiency, as well as improving the SMEs’ staff work through proper planning, strategies, and complete tracking of implementation. Thus, a tailored Lean Management program shall be delivered to the selected number of Ready-Made-Garments SMEs. The Qualified Lean management consultant(s) will work closely with these SMEs to provide them with the essential lean management techniques and knowledge and foster the necessary skills to effectively integrate lean principles in their project cycle. This initiative aims to elevate product quality, refine waste reduction methodologies, and uphold a financially prudent approach.

To optimize the impact of this assignment, the Lean management modules will be delivered through two implementation modalities.

Initially, all selected SMEs shall undergo a comprehensive training program spanning up to 7 days, encompassing core Lean management principles.

Afterwards, the consultant(s) shall conduct personalized gap assessments for each of the selected SME, drafting tailored made action plans based on their operational processes, and thus facilitating the practical implementation of Lean management principles within their respective facilities.

The expected number of participants in the training is around 25 SMEs.

Some of the essential benefits to be realized for the selected SMEs include the following:
