In a major\u00a0reform\u00a0towards\u00a0\u2018Ease of Doing Business\u2019\u00a0and to achieve Aatmnirbharta in Defence,\u00a0the\u00a0Department of Defence\u00a0Production\u00a0under\u00a0the\u00a0Ministry of Defence\u00a0has issued notification for\u00a0re-organisation of\u00a0Directorate General of Quality Assurance\u00a0(DGQA)\u00a0which\u00a0is aimed at speeding up\u00a0Quality Assurance\u00a0processes\u00a0and trials and reducing layers of decision-making. This re-organisation also factors change in the Quality Assurance methodology and revised role of DGQA post\u00a0corporatization\u00a0of OFB.<\/p>\n
With the corporatisation of Ordnance Factories into new DPSUs, increased participation of private defence industry and impetus by the Government towards indigenisation, a need was felt to re-organise DGQA for an effective and efficient support to emerging defence manufacturing industry. DGQA has already been steering various organizational and functional reforms after active discussions with all stakeholders in the defence manufacturing ecosystem.<\/p>\n
The new structure under implementation will enable single point technical support for complete equipment\/ weapon platform at all levels and also ensure uniformity in product-based QA. The new structure also provides for a separate Directorate of Defence Testing and Evaluation Promotion to facilitate transparent allocation of Proof Ranges and testing facilities.<\/p>\n
This arrangement coupled with automation and digitization of standardized QA processes is likely to significantly improve the engagement of Defence Industry with DGQA. The re-organised structure and ongoing functional reforms will give an impetus to indigenization drive under \u2018Aatmanirbhar Bharat\u2019 with availability of Indian standards\/ equivalent to guide manufacturers within the country and this will also boost export of high Quality qualified defence products.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
