Under the epidemic situation, medical protection supplies were in short supply, and many companies switched to production, including some clothing companies. From the production of clothing to the production of isolation clothing, it seems that there is not much difference, but the actual difference is very different. Equipment, qualifications, raw materials, funds, employment, and epidemic prevention must be resolved one by one, and every second counts.

On February 18, after cutting, sorting, sewing and other processes, the first batch of single-use isolation gowns in Shengyu Clothing Production Line, Huangchuan County, Xinyang City, Henan Province went offline.

This small garment factory in the mountain area was converted into a medical supplies manufacturing enterprise in less than 12 days. At present, the company has a daily production capacity of 3,000 disposable gowns, and a mask production line is also being prepared.

Over the past few days, Huang Jiusheng, a national model worker and part-time vice chairman of the Henan Federation of Trade Unions, who stands by the production line, bluntly said: "It's hard, it's hard to come!"

Cannot produce without qualifications and equipment

Nearly 100,000 people returned home from Hubei and 80,000 people returned from Wuhan. Medical protection supplies are in short supply. The situation of Xinyang New Coronary Pneumonia in Henan, separated by a mountain in Wuhan, is severe.

"At present, the stocks of N95 masks and comprehensive respiratory protectors in Xinyang Central Hospital are 88 and 39, respectively. It is urgent!" "The inventory of medical protective clothing, goggles and gowns in the city is not enough for two days. The amount of money, please the capable fellow outside the country to find ways to help "... In the local media and circle of friends in Xinyang, all kinds of information for medical supplies were forwarded.

This also makes Huang Jiusheng, who is concerned about the epidemic situation in his hometown, feel at ease. From the beginning of the New Year's Day, Huang Jiusheng bought around and donated the protective materials to his hometown and Wuhan.

On the evening of February 6, the staff responsible for purchasing medical supplies issued a record sheet to Huang Jiusheng's manufacturer of isolation clothing. Huang Jiusheng accidentally discovered that there was a clothing factory on the watch. He flashed a flash of light and thought of the garment factory in his hometown.

Huang Jiusheng immediately called Ma Dengyun, manager of Shengyu Garment Factory in Huangchuan County, Xinyang. The other side told him that the production of isolation clothing requires medical equipment production qualifications, and that he not only has no qualifications, the existing facilities and equipment do not meet the relevant production regulations.

Every part of the transition must be counted against every second

On February 7th, there was news of a rapid transformation of the production line of a foreign clothing factory to switch to production of isolation garments. This made Huang Jiusheng and Ma Dengyun make up their minds: switch production!

From the production of clothing to the production of isolation clothing, it seems that there is not much difference, but the actual difference is very different. Because it is an emergency production change, transforming the production line, adjusting equipment, finding surface materials, coordinating printing resources, and the arrival of workers, each link must be resolved one by one, every second counts.

Ma Dengyun convened the company's technical backbone, set up a working group for the production of isolation garments, formulated a transformation plan, and transformed the clothing production line into a single-use isolation garment production line; purchased 20 professional production machinery and installed it.

The equipment must be qualified, and the workers must be qualified. Ma Dengyun filed an application for business license expansion project with the market supervision department. The Huangchuan County Market Supervision Bureau set up a professional guidance group for the record at the first time, and activated the “fast-track” registration fast track. On the one hand, it guides enterprises to improve the audit filing materials for various business scope changes, and on the other hand, conducts on-site audits of the transformation situation, helps organize employee training, and approves and issues the "Class I Medical Device Recording Certificate" in the shortest time.

At the same time, Ma Dengyun contacted the workers to return to work. With the help of relevant local authorities, he arranged the contact history of the workers, checked their health status, and issued a return to work certificate. 30 skilled workers returned to work quickly. As of February 18, 52 workers have reached the production line after undergoing a health check. Shengyu Garment Factory was put into mass production quickly while producing and inspecting.

Doing a good job of epidemic prevention in the specific production process is also a realistic problem that Ma Dengyun needs to face.

"With the help of the relevant departments in the county, the factory area was killed and quarantined by professionals to meet the production standards under epidemic prevention and control; workers eat and live in the factory, a restaurant that originally accommodated 100 people, and 10 employees eat in batches. ; Take body temperature twice a day at regular intervals; wear isolation gowns and masks to enter the production line on the factory floor. "Ma Dengyun said.

Shengyu Garment Factory was able to smoothly switch production, also benefited from Huang Jiusheng's commitment to Ma Dengyun: "I pay for the raw materials, and I underwrite the products. During this period, I paid all the equipment, electricity, staff salaries, profits and other expenses in advance. "At present, Huang Jiusheng has invested 2 million yuan in Shengyu Garment Factory. All 18 tons of first-class composite non-woven materials and zippers required for isolation clothing purchased in batches are all in place.

Multi-party joint efforts to help convert

On February 19, the reporter walked into the isolation clothing production line of Shengyu Garment Factory and saw that the “armed” workers were nervous and busy. In the cutting area, two people control an imported cutting machine and enter data to automatically cut and shape. In the packaging workshop, the workers packed the finished isolation clothing into bags according to the model, packed, packed and shipped. On each of the isolation garments, the eye-catching words of "Committed to the city and fight against the epidemic" were printed.

"With the help of workers and government support, there is nothing to be done!" Looking at the workshop that has already begun production, Huang Jiusheng said that from his own idea to the successful conversion, it took less than two weeks to achieve this. The mask machine purchased by the garment factory will also be in place, and the daily output of civilian masks can reach 50,000 to 70,000 after it is put into production.

It is reported that in order to ensure the supply of preventive and control materials, relevant government departments in Henan have provided convenience for enterprises, helping them to expand production capacity, increase production, support related enterprises to convert medical materials, and help enterprises solve the labor, raw materials, capital, and transportation problems encountered during production And other difficulties and problems, and announced that the key medical protective materials produced by the enterprise will be purchased and stored by the government.

In addition, the Henan Provincial Clothing Association and Zhengzhou Clothing Association have put forward initiatives to call on qualified apparel companies to invest in the production of protective clothing and masks and other epidemic prevention materials. At present, a group of well-known clothing enterprises such as Zhengzhou Yalida Clothing, Yiyang Clothing, and Lingxiu Clothing have actively responded to the initiative and applied for the conversion of medical protective clothing.
