Taking the path of specialization, refinement, specialization, and novelty is an inevitable choice for small and medium-sized enterprises to achieve high-quality development. As the backbone of economic development, such enterprises have become an important engine for promoting industrial upgrading with their unique innovation capabilities and market competitiveness.
Recently, under the leadership of Lu Ming, the founder and chairman of Qunxiangdao, more than 20 entrepreneurs visited Chicheng Electric for a visit and exchange, and talked with Mr. Shi Baojing, co-founder, director, and general manager of Chicheng Electric, to jointly explore the development path and new directions for lean development.
Visit and Exchange
Specialization, refinement, specialization, and novelty are important strategic directions proposed by the country to promote the high-quality development of small and medium-sized enterprises. As a national “little giant” enterprise, Chicheng Electric has been deeply involved in the field of gas detection for 21 years, continuously expanding its R&D strength and core competitiveness, and escorting the global gas environment safety.
Accompanied by Mr. Shi, the Qunxiangdao delegation visited Chicheng Electric’s R&D center, production center, etc., and fully understood the development history, corporate culture, core technology advantages, and intelligent industrial chain of Chicheng Electric.
Mr. Shi introduced that Chicheng Electric was established in 2004 and specializes in the research and development, production and sales of gas environment safety monitoring products. Its main products are intelligent instruments, alarm control systems and supporting equipment, intelligent sensors, etc. in the field of gas environment safety monitoring. They are mainly used in many industrial fields such as petroleum, chemical industry, gas, metallurgy, electricity, medicine, food, and urban public places, household civil use, underground integrated pipe corridors, etc.
During the visit, the members of the inspection team learned in detail about the whole process of gas detectors from research and development, production to quality inspection, and expressed that they were shocked by Chicheng Electric’s investment in intelligence and automation. By introducing advanced production equipment and management systems, Chicheng Electric has not only improved production efficiency, but also effectively reduced costs and improved market competitiveness. This is a vivid embodiment of the “specialization and refinement” pursued by specialized and new enterprises.
Interpreting industrial aesthetics with concentration and ingenuity
After the visit, the inspection team had an in-depth exchange with Mr. Shi.
Mr. Shi pointed out: “Specialization, refinement, characteristics and novelty are not only the expectations of the country for small and medium-sized enterprises, but also the internal needs of Chicheng Electric’s own development. Chicheng insists on intensive cultivation in the field of gas detection and has formed unique technical advantages; in terms of product design, production process and customer service, it pursues perfection; at the same time, it increases R&D innovation and masters “gas sensing, gas monitoring, Internet of Things platform” and other monitoring technologies, forming differentiated competitive advantages and promoting the continuous high-quality development of enterprises.”
Afterwards, Mr. Shi shared the company’s practical experience in lean development. In terms of lean R&D, Chicheng Electric insists on promoting project implementation from four dimensions: product development process optimization, review management and design quality improvement, demand management and progress management, and design standardization improvement, so as to continuously improve the efficiency and benefits of R&D, promote product innovation and technological innovation, and enhance R&D value and product quality.
In terms of lean management, Chicheng Electric strictly implements visualization and standardization principles, and uses advanced management tools such as lean production and 5S to comprehensively optimize the production process. By eliminating waste, continuous improvement and full participation, the company not only reduces production costs, but also improves product quality and customer satisfaction. In addition, Chicheng Electric has also established a complete quality management system and after-sales service system to ensure that every product can be delivered to customers with the best quality.
At the same time, Chicheng Electric has also implemented projects such as lean production, PLM, lean promotion, and excellent performance management. Through the coordinated operation of these management systems, the company’s quality control, safety, environmental protection, and energy management levels are continuously strengthened, and the company’s management system is fully guaranteed to be sound.
Technological innovation is the core driving force for the development of enterprises. Chicheng Electric has continuously invested in R&D resources to deeply integrate advanced technologies such as 5G, artificial intelligence, the Internet of Things, and big data with industrial production, breaking through the surging waves of the digital era and moving forward towards high-end and intelligent directions!
Actively discuss and explore new directions for lean development
After the meeting, the members of the inspection team had a heated discussion on the model of lean development of Chicheng Electric. The guests at the meeting spoke actively, combined with their own corporate conditions and visit feelings, and shared the company’s initiatives and suggestions for taking a new path. Everyone agreed that specialization, refinement, specialization and novelty are the only way for small and medium-sized enterprises to achieve high-quality development, and lean R&D and lean management are the key means to achieve this goal.
“The successful experience of Chicheng Electric is very inspiring to us. In future development, we must focus on the main business, do it in depth; continue to give play to our own advantages and create differentiated competitiveness. At the same time, we must continue to innovate, strengthen lean development, and provide guarantees for the development of enterprises at a higher level.” A visiting entrepreneur said.
“Specialization, refinement, specialization, and novelty” are important paths to enhance independent innovation capabilities and core competitiveness and continuously improve the quality and level of development of small and medium-sized enterprises. As a national “little giant” enterprise, in the future, Chicheng Electric will continue to play a role model, actively share management experience and development results, and work with various enterprises to jointly promote enterprise transformation and upgrading and high-quality development!
