give any two problems faced by SSI
Answers
Problems faced by Small Scale Industries:-
1. Poor capacity utilization
In many of the Small Scale Industries, the capacity utilization is not even 50% of the installed capacity. Nearly half of the machinery remains idle. Capital is unnecessarily locked up and idle machinery also occupies space and needs to be serviced resulting in increased costs.
2. Incompetent management
Many Small Scale Industries are run in an incompetent manner by poorly qualified entrepreneurs without much skill or experience. Very little thought has gone into matters such as demand, production level and techniques, financial availability, plant location, future prospects etc. According to one official study, the major reason for SSI sickness is deficiency in project Management i.e., inexperience of promoters in the basic processes of production, cash flow etc.
