The Government's national program to support enterprises to improve productivity and product and goods quality in the 2021-2030 period has set a target of increasing the number of enterprises supported with solutions to improve productivity and quality annually by 10-15%. Seizing this opportunity, enterprises in Thanh Hoa are proactively investing in modern machinery and technology in the production process, while actively researching and applying solutions to improve product quality, in order to increase competitiveness and expand the market.
The Department of Science and Technology of Thanh Hoa province has implemented many projects to support enterprises in improving productivity and quality, closely connecting scientific and technological activities with production and life. Thanks to that, the awareness of state management agencies, especially enterprises, about the role of productivity and quality has had positive changes.
Many enterprises in the area have actively invested in innovating management and operation methods, applying quality management systems according to international standards, using modern innovative management tools, and at the same time announcing products that meet standards and regulations. These efforts not only help reduce waste in production activities but also ensure product quality, meet customer needs and reduce the rate of defective products. Typically, units such as Bim Son Cement Joint Stock Company are not only pioneers in applying advanced rotary kiln technology, but also invest in environmental management systems according to ISO 14001 standards, thereby reducing emissions and improving resource efficiency. This helps the company not only improve productivity but also fulfill its social responsibility, contributing to environmental protection. In the processing sector, with a strategy of investing in clean sugar production technology and a modern supply chain management system, Lam Son Sugar Joint Stock Company not only improves product quality but also creates added value from by-products such as molasses and organic fertilizers. This is an important step forward, helping the company expand its export market and enhance its position in the agricultural processing industry. Meanwhile, Delta Sports Equipment Joint Stock Company has promoted the application of automation technology and improvement tools such as Kaizen and Lean Six Sigma in the production process. As a result, the company's products not only meet international quality standards but also quickly meet large orders from demanding partners in Europe and the US, creating sustainable development for the company.
The goal of improving productivity and quality does not stop at improving the production process but also helps enterprises create sustainable competitiveness in the market. Thanh Hoa enterprises have focused on building brands and increasing product value. Many enterprises have registered trademarks and geographical indications for local specialties such as Ba Lang shrimp paste, Thanh Hoa fermented pork rolls or bamboo products. Effectively exploiting e-commerce platforms has opened a new era for enterprises in reaching customers. Presence on major trading floors such as Amazon or Alibaba not only helps enterprises expand their consumption channels but also brings opportunities to promote Thanh Hoa products to many potential markets around the world. These efforts show a strong change in business thinking, from depending on traditional distribution channels to taking advantage of modern tools to increase presence and improve competitiveness.
However, according to the Department of Science and Technology, despite many positive results, productivity and quality improvement programs and projects still face many difficulties. One of the main limitations is that the team of managers and consultants on productivity and quality is still very small, not meeting the increasing needs of enterprises. In addition, the funding source mainly depends on the local budget, which is still limited, leading to the implementation of projects not achieving optimal efficiency.
In addition, most enterprises in the province are small and medium-sized with limited resources in both finance and human resources. Awareness and interest in improving productivity and quality in some enterprises are still not deep enough, leading to the implementation of solutions that are mainly broad-based rather than in-depth. This makes the movement to improve productivity and quality unable to develop strongly and sustainably. The biggest challenge is still creating and maintaining a culture of productivity in the business community. This not only requires support from policies but also requires strong commitment and efforts from enterprises themselves in changing their mindset, improving processes and building long-term development strategies.
Faced with this situation, Thanh Hoa province has proactively implemented many solutions to overcome difficulties and promote productivity and quality improvement in enterprises. One of the important solutions is to strengthen training and fostering of management staff and consultants on productivity and quality. The province has coordinated with specialized agencies and organizations to implement training courses and seminars to improve the capacity of enterprises, helping enterprises easily access tools to improve productivity and quality, especially tools to support smart production and smart services in enterprises. In addition, efforts are being made to attract investment capital from the Central Government's support programs to ensure funding for projects to improve productivity and product quality. Enterprises, especially small and medium enterprises, are encouraged to participate in these projects to receive financial, technical and in-depth consulting support. To address the issue of awareness and initiative in improvement, the province also promotes propaganda activities, popularizing the benefits of improving productivity and product quality; encouraging enterprises to continuously improve through emulation and reward programs...
In addition to the State’s support policies, each enterprise needs to raise awareness of the importance of improving productivity and product quality, considering it a decisive factor for sustainable development. Only when this is clearly recognized can appropriate solutions be selected and applied to help improve competitiveness and ensure sustainable development.
