Firstly, the Secretary of the Quality Management Committee, Liao Yan, gave a brief overview of this year's Quality Month activity plan, including the purpose, theme, culture, branding, and main activities of the quality campaign.
Wang Jianguang, Deputy Manager of the Quality Assurance Department and representative of the company's third-tier quality management system, emphasized the vital importance of quality as the lifeblood of the company. He highlighted that quality is not only related to a company's profits but also to its survival and development. Under the company's strategic guidance of "two wings flying together," top management has increasingly emphasized the significance of quality, stating that "quality is competitiveness." The company has prioritized "quality as the foundation" as the first among its "three foundations," underscoring the senior management's commitment to quality. Leveraging the "Quality Month" initiative, the Quality Assurance Department aims to unite and coordinate various departments, enhance employees' awareness of "quality as the foundation," guide them to become "quality advocates," shift from passive service to active management, diligently pursue better quality, consider quality issues as assets, deeply investigate and address issues, strive to get things right the first time, and consistently make customer satisfaction the ultimate goal, earning customer reputation and trust.
Representative from a client company, Director Chen, also attended the Quality Month launch ceremony. Director Chen expressed his honor to participate in the launch of the Quality Month at CIMC South China. Through recent on-site quality inspections of CMA production processes, he noticed significant improvements in container quality compared to the previous year. Notable improvements were observed in areas such as sealing construction, floor and lock assembly, uniformity of paint thickness, control of floor nail leaks and deviations, and longitudinal welding of roof panels. He hoped that good quality performance could be consistently maintained, areas for improvement would be effectively addressed and improved, and that the Quality Month activities would focus on continuous improvement of weak points.
The General Manager of the company, Liu Xiaoxu, summarized the launch of the Quality Month activity. He mentioned that "Striving for Better—Our Eternal Goal" is the company's quality culture. From producing one container per shift in Shekou to 55 containers per hour now, CIMC South China has steadfastly navigated challenges, demonstrating unwavering dedication characterized by "having ideals and taking responsibility" and determined perseverance characterized by "daring to strive, daring to venture, daring to act." It is also a relentless pursuit of creating value for customers through wholehearted and meticulous efforts. All of this is a continuation and embodiment of the Shekou corporate culture's genetic legacy, adhering to the principles of maintaining product quality through standardized production processes, holding the concept of "quality first" and "customer is God" unwaveringly. This Quality Month has planned a series of quality-enhancing activities, including the Quality Corridor, Container Spot-the-Difference, Quality Feedback into Work Teams, Quality Knowledge Quiz, Equipment Failure Rate Competition, and Hidden Welding Improvement. The launch ceremony of this event is just the beginning, and as the saying goes, "Though the road is long, we will reach the destination." Our philosophy determines our height, our attitude determines our success or failure, our methods determine our effectiveness. The market may change, but we must remain sober, pragmatic, and committed to our craftsmanship, which will achieve quality, brand, customer, and ourselves.
Finally, under the guidance of Li Tianpeng, Manager of the Production and Manufacturing Department, all personnel made a quality commitment pledge and signed it.
Through this launch of the Quality Month activity, everyone gained a clearer understanding of the company's emphasis on quality management and its requirements.
