Transform the model and lay the foundation for multi-effect development
The first is to eliminate pollution ills and shift to green development. Starting from product materials, we will gradually complete the transition from traditional materials to green materials. Strictly limit the lead content in plumbing valve products, accelerate the application and promotion of new environmentally friendly materials, especially increase the production and processing technology development of lead-free copper rods, promote the certification management of "lead-free copper" products, and drive the entire plumbing valve industry. Lead free, green and healthy.
The second is to reduce population dependence and shift to intelligent development. Vigorously develop "machine substitution", introduce modern and automated equipment, upgrade the traditional plumbing valve industry, use robots, automated control equipment, automated assembly lines, etc. to carry out intelligent technological transformation of enterprises, and eliminate the development shortcomings of enterprises 'labor shortage and limited resources.
The third is to improve traditional thinking and turn to information development. Based on the existing water heating valve industry conditions, actively explore the integration of enterprise resource planning (ERP) systems with other systems such as product data management, product life cycle management, and manufacturing execution systems to strengthen the full life cycle management of products and projects, and promote Information-based integrated application promotes the deep integration of the two modernizations.
Streamlining and efficient, diversified improvements and strong guarantees
The first is to achieve "personalization" in lean production. Promote assembly line operations in the field of plumbing valves, encourage adjustment of system structures, keep up with market supply and demand, accelerate adaptation to changes in user needs, and form a "lean production" model featuring "multiple varieties" and "small batches".
Secondly, precise management is implemented to achieve “intensification”. Gradually, the economy based on small-scale enterprises with low product value added and weak platform support is transitioning into modern industrial clusters. There is a clear trend of industrial integration: production of valves and faucets is expanding to include products like bathroom ceramics. The integration of waterborne plumbing and sanitary ware products is accelerating. The industrial chain is becoming more complete, with specialized divisions and cooperation in seven key areas: copper rod processing, forging, electroplating, sanding, assembly, and packaging. Corporate mergers and reorganizations are increasing. Industrial parks, economic development zones, and industrial functional areas serve as important platforms for enhancing production concentration, resulting in larger and more competitive enterprises and groups. In 2014, there were two companies with an output value of over 500 million yuan. Yihuan Holdings Group invested 1.5 billion yuan to build the China Yihuan International Valve City within the Yuhuan Economic Development Zone. This project includes five major functional areas: product display and trading center, e-commerce center, product research and development center, headquarters business office center, and industrial creative design center. This project changes the traditional direct sales model, creating opportunities for both export and domestic sales. It fills the gap in the waterborne plumbing industry, where there is only manufacturing but no professional sales market. It also accelerates the transformation of waterborne plumbing from “single-manufacturing” to “branded manufacturing,” thereby enhancing brand influence. In 2014, “Yihuan Waterborne Plumbing Valves” was recognized as a famous brand in Zhejiang region.
Innovation leads, multi-dimensional drives tap potential
The first is to create an innovative medium with a technological platform. Develop a public service platform for scientific and technological innovation, strengthen ties with domestic and foreign universities and scientific research institutions, establish an information communication mechanism for industry-university-research cooperation, and promote the industry-university-research docking of plumbing valve projects. Give full play to the advantages of industry associations in organizing talent training and carrying out technology promotion, serve as intermediaries for innovation guidance, and play a bridge role in promoting multi-directional interaction between industry, academia and research. In 2015, a cross-border e-commerce B2B business training meeting for enterprises in the plumbing valve industry was successfully held.
The second is to introduce innovative talents through intellectual engineering. Directly absorb or flexibly introduce innovative talents from universities and scientific research institutes to engage in research and development in the plumbing valve industry. With the help of Zhejiang Province's "Thousand Talents Plan" and Taizhou City's "500 Elite" talent entrepreneurship project, we have introduced high-level professional talents in plumbing valves. Give full play to the advantages of plumbing valve industry associations, talent intermediaries and other channels, and encourage talent exchanges and docking with advanced domestic and foreign companies and multinational companies. Implement talent protection policies, improve supporting facilities such as talent apartments, children's education, and family employment, and open up green channels for the introduction of high-end talents.
The third is to optimize the innovation mechanism with financial guarantees. Increase policy support for technological innovation in the plumbing valve industry, encourage enterprises to improve their independent research and development systems, establish special funds for independent innovation, and carry out original innovation, integrated innovation, and introduction, digestion, absorption and re-innovation step by step.
