Sing the main melody of "quality", deeply cultivate the main business of lean manufacturing

The report of the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China put forward requirements such as "adhering to the focus of economic development on the real economy" and "accelerating the construction of a strong manufacturing and quality country", which have built a solid firewall to prevent the economy from shifting from reality to falsehood. There is great potential for the manufacturing industry in the new era. Since the reform and opening up, the Party and the state have created favorable conditions for the development of private enterprises and the growth of entrepreneurs. Shangshang Cable has taken advantage of good policies and focused on cable manufacturing, achieving a series of achievements. For decades, Shangshang Cable has always adhered to the principle of "quality drives the enterprise", viewing product quality as "the life of the enterprise and the rice bowl of employees", and focusing on "quality first" to ensure quality. Upward introduction of excellent performance management model, ensuring product quality through scientific means, closely linking quality with the immediate interests of each employee, and promoting employees from "I want to do well" to "I want to do well". For its commitment to high-quality products, Shangshang Cable has also been recognized by society and the government. It has been nominated for the China Quality Award for three consecutive years in 2016, 2018, and 2021. Besides focus, there is also professionalism. Taking the path of specialization, each workshop produces only one type of product, mass production, forming economies of scale, and relying on continuous investment to update equipment and transform technology - this becomes the "key" for Shangshang Cable to strengthen its core competitiveness. Investment is not blindly taking risks or simply expanding capacity, but rather to have more professional and large-scale production capabilities, meet user needs to a greater extent, and better serve users. Shangshang Cable has never deliberately pursued scale, and its development to this day is entirely the result of market pull. In the future, Shangshang will also adhere to the development purpose of "not seeking the largest scale, but the best comprehensive quality", adhere to green development, and promote high-quality development of enterprises with "sincerity" and "excellent quality".

Winning the Long Lasting War of "Innovation" and Fulfilling the Glorious Mission of the Times

The report of the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China proposes to accelerate the implementation of the innovation driven development strategy and achieve high-level technological self-reliance and self-improvement. Technology is the primary productive force, talent is the primary resource, and innovation is the primary driving force. The core of Shangshang Cable's development strategy of "precision, specialization, uniqueness, and novelty" is continuous innovation. All along, Shangshang Cable has been tirelessly pursuing research and innovation, constantly overcoming difficulties, and demonstrating its vigorous and upward innovative power. In 1984, Shangshang Cable independently developed mining communication signal cables. In an environment where there was strong market demand, high development difficulty, and high risks, large enterprises were unwilling to do it, and small enterprises were hesitant to do it, the new product went viral and tasted the sweetness of technological innovation. Afterwards, Shangshang Cable has maintained a trend and determination of innovation and victory, dedicating more than 20 years of research on nuclear cables. It has successively developed second-generation and second-generation semi nuclear cables to fill the domestic gap, and third-generation nuclear power AP1000 shell cables to fill the world gap. With advanced research and development hardware facilities and a high-quality R&D talent team, Shangshang Cable has built an innovation system closely centered around the "One Station and Three Centers (National Postdoctoral Research Workstation, National Recognized Enterprise Technology Center, Jiangsu Special Wire and Cable Engineering Technology Research Center, Jiangsu New Energy Special Cable Engineering Research Center)" innovation platform. It has been awarded the "National Technology Innovation Demonstration Enterprise" and "National Intellectual Property Advantage Enterprise". The independently developed cables for nuclear power plants and port machinery have won the "National Manufacturing Single Champion Product" in 2020 and 2022, respectively.

Although the road is far, the journey is approaching. Shangshang Cable will adhere to technological innovation and progress, with the goal of developing new generation cables for national key areas such as new energy, rail transit, ships, marine engineering, and ports. We will continuously increase research and development investment, strengthen the construction of technical personnel teams, actively promote technological progress in the cable industry, and strive to contribute more "Shangshang solutions" to the bottleneck technology and import substitution of the online cable industry.

Exploring the Deepening Transformation of the "Two Modernizations" Concerto

The report of the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China proposes to accelerate the construction of a digital China. Without informatization, there can be no modernization. As early as 2001, Shangshang Cable was the first in the industry to explore and introduce OA and ERP information systems, achieving refined and flat management. For seven consecutive years, it was rated as one of the "Top 500 Enterprises in Informatization" and won the "Best ERP Application Award". In 2011, Shangshang Cable established the world's first modern integrated manufacturing system for the cable industry - the Ultra High Voltage CIMS Central Control Center, which achieved quality control, analysis, and traceability throughout the entire production process of ultra-high voltage cables. The manufacturing of ultra-high voltage cables can be "live streamed online", allowing customers to see their order production status from home, while ensuring that "each cable has its own electronic file". For this reason, the ultra-high pressure workshop has been awarded the titles of "Jiangsu Province Intelligent Workshop" and "China Benchmark Intelligent Factory". In 2019, the enterprise was also selected as one of the first batch of "Jiangsu Province Five Star Cloud Enterprise".

Nowadays, with the deepening of the integration of the two modernizations and the promotion of "intelligent transformation and digital transformation", making every effort to build a modern intelligent management factory (transparent factory) has become the trend of upward development. Processes such as "small, light, and thin" have been replaced by mechanical arms, AGV cars, etc. With the application of a large number of "foolproof and error proof" technologies, the process flow will be more efficient and accurate; Real time data collection, analysis, and application, combined with the creation of a collaborative innovation ecosystem, will transform "high-quality" management from a goal to a reality. "Intelligent transformation and digital transformation" is not only a "must answer" question given to enterprises by the times, but also a "big test" question given to traditional manufacturing industry. In this regard, Shangshang Cable adheres to the principle of "early transformation and early benefit", actively transforms and strives to answer questions, aiming to ignite a new engine of high-quality development in the new track of "intelligent transformation and digital transformation", and achieve innovation and breakthroughs in enterprise research and development, manufacturing, management, and marketing models.

The blueprint for the new era has been drawn, and the horn for a new journey has been sounded. Shangshang Cable will comprehensively and accurately learn and understand the spirit of the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, guide all employees to make contributions based on their positions, fulfill their duties and strive for excellence, truly arm their minds and guide practice with the spirit of the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, promote the development of enterprises with "high quality, high efficiency, and high efficiency", and contribute to the realization of the "Chinese Dream".
