Riding the wind of rebirth

Chapter 1872 New System

This is the power of the Internet. Every upgrade of a small terminal will bring about the superposition of these small upgrades to the entire system, and the effect will be enormous.

Although many people may not realize this now, Zhou Zhi, who has experienced two lives, understands this power very well.

This control system will bring Blue Sky Sunshine Group's business capabilities multiple or even tenfold growth, and the Blue Sky Sunshine Group will also gain strong competitiveness in the international market.

"Congratulations to you, Mr. Lu, and Mr. Deng." Zhou Zhi expressed his congratulations: "With this added capability, we can also expand into the international market."

Deng Guangrong smiled and said, "We want to apply for an international patent for this system, but no one is too familiar with how to operate it. Clover Group is very familiar with this aspect, and no one is an outsider. So, I have to ask Mr. Zhou for help."

"Brother Deng is too polite. Just call me brother." Zhou Zhi said, "I will ask Professor Lu from the Legal Department to contact you directly. In addition, we may need the assistance of the Intellectual Property Management Team of the Intelligence Department to organize your achievements into IP packages. Has your group introduced the ISO9001 system now?"

"what?"

As soon as I saw Deng Guangrong's thoughtful expression, I knew it was definitely not the case.

So I had to explain to Deng Guangrong: "ISO9001 is derived from BS5750, the world's first quality management system standard. The latest version 94 was launched last year. It is the most mature quality framework system in the world so far, and it is also the quality management system recognized by the most countries and organizations in the world."

"If we want our products to go abroad, in addition to protecting ourselves with patents, we also need to make sure our products meet the uniform quality standards of international certification."

"Foreigners are often very rigid. They not only have requirements for the final quality of the product, but also for your management methods during the production process, because the latter is the fundamental element for continuous quality assurance in industrial production."

"By passing this certification system, we obtain the 'green card' for international trade with most countries, thus eliminating the barriers to international trade."

"The means of competition in international trade are mainly price competition and quality competition. In order to protect their own interests, many countries will set up many barriers to trade, such as relying on high added taxes to eliminate the price advantage of imported products. Such barriers are called tariff barriers."

"Among various non-tariff barriers, the two most important ones are restrictions on product quality certification and restrictions on quality management system certification. Such barriers are called technical barriers."

"Tariff barriers can only be eliminated by joining economic and trade cooperation organizations and implementing preferential tariff policies among member countries, while the two most important technical barriers related to quality can only be eliminated by obtaining ISO9001, a third-party certification."

"The small-scale exports we made previously don't count. If we want our products to enter the international market in large quantities and gain a full advantage in the product quality competition, we must adopt international standards to hold ourselves to account."

"In addition, according to the practice of international economic cooperation and technological exchange, the two parties must generally have a common language, unified understanding and common standards in terms of product and service quality before they can cooperate and communicate. ISO9001 quality management system certification provides such trust, which is conducive to the two parties reaching an agreement quickly." "At the same time, it is also a necessary measure to strengthen internal management of enterprises, stabilize business operations, reduce technical or quality fluctuations caused by employee resignations, improve corporate image, and even avoid legal risks."

"International standards are generally revised every five years or so. The last version was the ISO1987 standard revised in 9000, seven years after the first revision last year. Although it is overly oriented towards the hardware manufacturing industry, resulting in other industries not applying it, and there are many unreasonable and inconvenient aspects, it is a perfect international standard for the Blue Sky Sunshine Group, which is based in the hardware manufacturing industry."

"This set of standards is actually not too complicated. You can think of it as not only stipulating product quality, but also a set of specifications on how to produce quality-assured products. It is equivalent to the various production rules and regulations and process systems in our factory, but it is much more detailed and strict."

"The main task of introducing this system is to change the current working ideas and strictly follow all the steps from project design to product launch. If the output can be provided to the third-party qualification certification unit for verification at each stage, it can be considered completed."

After hearing what Zhou Zhi said, Deng Guangrong seemed to feel that this international standard was not so confusing anymore.

But he also knew that things would not be so simple, otherwise wouldn't the whole country implement it? So he asked carefully: "Has the Clover Group also implemented this new standard?"

Zhou Zhi smiled: "The implementation standards of Clover Group are actually much stricter than ISO9001. We are an information industry group. ISO9001 currently only guarantees the ability of enterprises to provide qualified products, but does not clearly stipulate measures to meet customer needs and expectations; it is limited to maintaining the prescribed quality assurance capabilities, but does not clearly emphasize continuous improvement and continuous improvement of corporate management level; although a documented management system has been formed to make all quality work knowable, visible and traceable, it does not emphasize employee training, nor does it emphasize the construction of a convenient training platform and system database so that employees can better understand the importance of quality and the requirements for their work..."

After saying that, he shook his head and said, "I hope that one day, this standard can be improved to catch up with Clover's internal quality management system."

Deng Guangrong was suddenly at a loss whether to laugh or cry. This little brother was implying that the internal management system of his unit was much more advanced than the international standard ISO9001, and he didn't think highly of it at all!
However, just because he looks down on me doesn't mean I don't either. As long as I make my company meet the latest international standards of ISO9001, I can show off in front of other entrepreneurs just like Zhou Zhi is showing off in front of me now!
Many units in the province have come to care for my company and said very nice things to me, encouraging me to be proactive, innovative, introduce advanced management systems and go international. However, no unit has been able to teach me step by step where to introduce advanced systems and how to go international.

Previously, Blue Sky Sunshine had also tried to carry out several small projects in Africa and Mongolia, which was considered the first step towards going abroad.

But going abroad like that is actually similar to poverty alleviation, which is more about hype than profit. If you really want to make money from big international companies like Clover, your previous idea that you can conquer the world with quality and price is too simplistic.

It can even be understood that many of the so-called "rules" in the international community are actually tailor-made to trap "newbies" like me!

Do you think that the quality of your products is good enough? NO!

They will also look at the outputs of your management process, including your requirements, design, process steps, process standards, parts materials, processing methods, processing accuracy, and other parts to see if they meet their country's import standards. As long as one item does not meet the requirements, it may not pass customs and may even lead to a breach of contract lawsuit!
Even if the product meets all the requirements, people still have good reasons to reject you - without these process outputs, how can you guarantee that your next batch of products will be of exactly the same quality as this batch? !

By the time Zhou Zhi had explained all these key points to Deng Guangrong, Deng Guangrong couldn't help but break out in cold sweat.
