  1. About SCORE

Enhancing the global competitiveness of the small and medium manufacturers in the value chain of high-growth sectors such as automobiles, food processing, textiles, readymade garments (RMG) etc. is a priority for ILO and FICCI for creation of more and better quality jobs in India. In this regard, since 2012, ILO-FICCI have been delivering a modular management training, ‘SCORE’ (or Sustaining Competitive and Responsible Enterprise), to themanufacturing units (with 30-250 employees) in India (visit: for further details on SCORE).

SCORE is a global enterprise management tool designed by ILO, especiallyfor the small and medium manufacturers to improve their market adaptability, responsiveness as well as ability to cope with the productivity and working condition challenges uniquely associated with this sector.

SCORE training portfolio comprises of 5 modules with each module resonating around a key productivity and cost bleeding factor- workplace cooperation, quality management, clean production, human resource management, and occupational health and safety. Training on each module includes a two-day classroom joint training for managers and workers followed by on-site coaching visits by ILO trained SCORE trainers to the manufacturing unit. SCORE Module 1 on Workplace Cooperation is a mandatory module whereas the other modules are optional which a manufacturing unit may enrol for depending upon its need. Shop-floor implementation of each SCORE module in a manufacturing unit takes 2.5 - 3 months.
