"Improving the National Quality Infrastructure" is written into the 14th Five-Year Plan proposal——

Quality Infrastructure "Take the Pulse" of Enterprise Development

  "Improve national quality infrastructure, strengthen standards, metrology, patents and other systems and capacity building".

In the "Recommendations of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China on Formulating the Fourteenth Five-Year Plan for National Economic and Social Development and Long-Term Goals for 2035", the slightly unpopular term "national quality infrastructure" appeared.

  The State Administration for Market Regulation recently issued the "Opinions on Vigorously Developing "One-Stop" Services for Quality Infrastructure", proposing to carry out a full range of "quality medical examination" services to "diagnose the pulse" for enterprises.

  What is quality infrastructure?

How to help high-quality development of enterprises?

What is quality infrastructure?

——Integrate elements such as measurement, standards, quality management, etc., to "diagnose the pulse" for the enterprise

  When it comes to infrastructure, people often think of engineering projects such as railways, highways, bridges, and power grids.

So, what is quality infrastructure?

  "Quality infrastructure is a system formed by organic integration of measurement, standards, certification and accreditation, inspection and testing, quality management and other elements. It is a technical support to promote high-quality development and an important measure to build a modern economic system." State Administration for Market Regulation is responsible According to people, the concept of "national quality infrastructure" was jointly proposed by the United Nations Industrial Development Organization (UNIDO), the World Trade Organization (WTO), and the International Organization for Standardization (ISO). It is committed to promoting the improvement of quality infrastructure management structures in countries around the world.

  Recently, the State Administration for Market Regulation issued the "Opinions on Vigorously Developing Quality Infrastructure "One-Stop" Services", proposing to develop quality infrastructure "one-stop" services in accordance with economic laws, and strive to further improve the quality policy system by 2025 , The layout of quality infrastructure is more reasonable, and the efficiency evaluation index system of quality infrastructure is basically established.

  How can quality infrastructure promote high-quality industrial development?

  Look at measurement-measurement is the basic guarantee of product quality and quality advantages.

Metrology is vividly called the “eyes” of industry. In every aspect of the whole production process, the improvement of quality control level depends on stable metrology inspection and management.

Without scientific and accurate measurement, quality cannot be guaranteed.

  Look at standards-standards are the summary of science, technology and practical experience, and standards lead quality.

Advanced standards can provide a roadmap for quality improvement, thereby increasing the added value of products and services, and optimizing the industrial structure; it can drive quality improvement from basic components and basic materials to key processes, major equipment and the entire final product industrial chain.

  Look at the inspection, testing, certification and accreditation service—the inspection, testing, certification, and accreditation service industry can provide strong technical support to build an international market access service platform and a localized testing platform for the international and domestic markets for Chinese manufacturing, and build "one standard, one test, global The "pass" testing and certification system will help China's manufacturing industry successfully enter the global market.

  Liu Xiangdong, deputy director of the Economic Research Department of the China International Economic Exchange Center, said that China is currently entering a stage of high-quality development, and improving the quality and efficiency of economic development is the main direction.

Regardless of whether it is production, supply or consumer services, the improvement of quality requires the establishment of corresponding standards and regulations. The unification of high-quality standards and the improvement of quality infrastructure have important practical significance.

  The relevant person in charge of the General Administration of Market Supervision pointed out that the Fifth Plenary Session of the 19th Central Committee of the Party further clarified the goal of building a strong country with quality, and made relevant arrangements to promote the advancement of the industrial foundation and the modernization of the industrial chain. It is particularly important and critical to improve the quality infrastructure.

"In recent years, China's quality infrastructure construction has made great progress, but the quality basic support capacity in some areas needs to be enhanced. Especially compared with large enterprises, small, medium and micro enterprises are subject to capital, technology and other factors. Important core components and infrastructure Quality and technical support such as process needs to be further strengthened." The person in charge said.

SMEs are the focus of support

  ——Quality management system helps companies standardize process management and optimize quality

  According to data from the State Administration for Market Regulation, as of the end of September, the number of market entities in the country has grown steadily, with a total of 134 million registered market entities, of which 42 million are enterprises.

Among them, the quality management of SMEs is the key support object.

  Liu Xiangdong pointed out that small and medium-sized enterprises have flexible mechanisms, quick responses, and strong vitality. However, in terms of quality management, there have been many problems such as insufficient standard compliance, lax quality management, and low brand reputation.

"This year's Central Economic Work Conference pointed out that it is necessary to implement quality improvement actions in depth, which reflects China's determination to continue to do a good job in quality improvement work, and also releases the signal that the following quality improvement actions will be promoted in a deeper and more effective direction." Liu Xiangdong said.

  The reporter learned that in the continuous three-year quality improvement action of the General Administration of Market Supervision, many small and medium-sized enterprises have tasted the sweetness of providing development levels through the quality management system——

  Jiangmen Youju New Material Co., Ltd. is a global supplier integrating R&D, production, application and sales services.

The company breaks the international monopoly by relying on technological development with independent intellectual property rights to become the world's third largest supplier of polyaryl ether sulfone products.

  "The quality management system is a passport to the international market." The person in charge of Jiangmen Youju Company was deeply moved.

  In this company, by strengthening formula management, formulating and technological innovation in accordance with the requirements of product design and development according to standards, production efficiency has been improved, production costs have been reduced, and it has become more competitive in the market.

Now, the production management procedures of the enterprise are more standardized. In the fourth quarter of 2019 and the first quarter of 2020, the product quality qualification rate was 100%, and the product quality reached the international advanced level.

  Moreover, enterprises have overcome many years of problems that have affected development through standardized process management and achieved a leap in quality level——

  Tianjin CNNC Yongtai Technology Co., Ltd. is a company specializing in medical radiation protection projects, radiation protection fume hoods and other products.

For many years, in the production process of anti-radiation equipment products, the first pass rate of welded parts has been hovering at around 85%, which has become a bottleneck for the development of enterprises.

  According to the person in charge of Tianjin CNNC Yongtai Technology Company, in the quality improvement activities, the company combined with the quality problems existing in the welding process, sorted out the "Quality Manual", "Procedural Documents", "Management System Compilation", "Operation Instructions" and other rules and regulations to connect with high Standards, improve processes.

Through a series of management system construction and special training implementation for the welding process, the company has solved the difficult problems in the welding process. The first pass rate of welded parts has increased to 90%, and the final product production has increased from the original pass rate of 96% to 96%. 97%, this alone reduces the cost by more than 100,000 yuan.

  Only when the enterprise is strong can the industry be strong.

The relevant person in charge of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology stated that "Made in China" improves quality and efficiency, not only supporting large enterprises to integrate innovative resources and elements, but also guiding small and medium-sized enterprises to focus on intensive cultivation in industry segments.

To achieve this goal, it is necessary to strengthen the quality foundation, improve the quality system, and comprehensively improve the quality level of a large number of small and medium-sized enterprises.

Where do you start?

  ——Improve quality infrastructure in terms of top-level design, digital information technology, and strengthening innovation

  "Compared with some developed countries, China's quality infrastructure construction started late and still faces many problems." said Zhou Qingjie, a professor at the School of Economics of Beijing Technology and Business University. "The management functions of China's quality infrastructure have long been scattered in many different departments. Intersection and fragmentation lead to weaker system and overall planning of quality infrastructure construction. Secondly, there is also a structural imbalance of'heavy industry manufacturing and light service industries', and the quality infrastructure construction in the service industry is obviously behind the industry.

  In addition, some quality infrastructure is out of touch with the actual needs of economic development.

"The quality standards, operating specifications, and market supervision systems in emerging industries are slow to update, and they do not match the speed of technological and industrial changes, making it difficult for relevant departments to effectively evaluate and supervise the quality of products and services." Zhou Qingjie said.

  In the future, to do a good job in the construction of quality infrastructure, it is necessary to design a complete set of high-quality development-oriented infrastructure systems in terms of industry management, professional certification, and standard compliance, so as to comprehensively improve the quality of infrastructure capabilities, and create high-quality infrastructure for building a modern economic system. The scientific basis of standard regulation.

  It is important to do a good job in quality infrastructure construction and strengthen top-level design.

  Liu Xiangdong believes that laws and regulations are a powerful force to promote the development of national quality infrastructure.

"We must implement strict intellectual property protection to ensure that real innovation leads development; we must crack down on counterfeit and inferior goods, and resolutely prevent bad money from expelling good money; we must ensure a fair competitive market environment and create a good business environment." Liu Xiangdong said, " Only by establishing a complete system of laws and regulations can we provide institutional guarantees for consolidating the national quality infrastructure and promoting the quality improvement of China's manufacturing industry."

  To do a good job in quality infrastructure, it is also necessary to "embrace" the digital economy.

  Experts pointed out that modern information technology such as the Internet, big data, and artificial intelligence should be fully utilized to strengthen the national quality infrastructure, so that measurement, standards, inspection and testing, etc., can be more convenient to serve enterprises, so that enterprises can easily obtain and master. Put into practice for a while.

  To do a good job in quality infrastructure, we must also strengthen innovation leadership.

Develop a new generation of inspection and testing and high-end measurement equipment, improve public technical service platforms, and support small and medium-sized enterprises to improve product consistency, reliability and stability.
