UNIDO SSAB

Since 2012, Ghana has promoted Kaizen practices – a Japanese methodology and philosophy to sustainably and continually improve the quality and productivity of businesses. Hundreds of Ghanaian enterprises have introduced and applied Kaizen practices and improved their quality and productivity. In a bid to support Ghana in scaling up its national Kaizen initiative, UNIDO launched the project “Expanding the Kaizen initiative by enhancing sustainable agribusiness”. The project will introduce the UNIDO digital dashboard system “Smart and Sustainable Agri-Business (SSAB)”, enabling Ghanaian MSMEs to visualize and hence better manage their enterprise performance through a smart and digital platform. By collecting key performance indicators from the production site, SSAB will not only address productivity issues but will also improve resource efficiency, food safety compliance as well as the performance of the MSMEs from a social perspective.
