Enterprise entities, improve quality and efficiency, accelerate transformation
Industry quality improvement work involves It covers a wide range of areas, among which enterprises are the main body and the core.
As my country’s reform and opening up deepens and it further integrates with international standards, key enterprises in the industry are constantly improving the supporting systems while doing a good job in ISO9001 and other certification systems. management mechanism. Jiangsu Tanghuang Group has solved the problem of “two skins” between system documents and actual operation documents with the enterprise quality management model of “standard guidance + system first + process escort”.

During the “Thirteenth Five-Year Plan” period, the integration of informatization and informatization in the home textile industry has accelerated, and intelligent manufacturing has become a general trend for the quality improvement of home textile companies. In response to the problem of yarn stripping and thread running after fabric is cut, Shanghai Starfish Home Textiles Co., Ltd. has developed and customized an automatic cutting bed specifically for kit products, which not only ensures product quality, but also greatly saves labor and promotes efficiency improvement. This equipment upgrade case was selected as a typical case of quality improvement in the home textile industry in 2021.

In recent years, the China Home Textile Industry Association has conducted a survey of 28 domestic home textile industry clusters and found that home textile clusters have great challenges in government promotion, platform building, and talent introduction. Highlights of measures emerge frequently. Accordingly, Zhu Xiaohong proposed that building clusters is still the focus of industrial upgrading in the next stage. We should strengthen policy research and explore cooperation models according to local conditions; combine industrial advantages to make up for weaknesses; promote regional digital manufacturing and service capabilities; adhere to the principle of “government guidance, enterprise The main tone is “responsibility and association assistance”, integrating both integration and innovation.
