SEDF signs MoU with BUET

South Asia Enterprise Development Facility (SEDF) recently signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) with BUET's IPE department to implement productivity improvement training programme for ready made garment sector in Bangladesh, says a press release.

As a first step to implementing a training programme for the RMG sector, SEDF will be involved in supporting an extensive industrial engineering training programme, in collaboration with BUET/IPE department and an internationally recognised consulting firm, Kurt Solman Associates, Technopak of India.

This would be the launch of a new programme by BUET/IPE Dept., catering for the first time to the RMG sector, where there is a lack of innovative training programmes of international standard focusing of productivity improvement.

Existing technical staff members from RMG companies, as well as industrial engineering students may participate in the 6-week training course at BUET/IPE to learn to set up or manage an industrial engineering cell within factories.
