Yes.
The employee benefits are good.

No. Employee benefits are average.
The wage system is mainly piece-rate. If product sales are poor, employees are given holidays. It is also common for the wages paid to be lower than the minimum wage stipulated by law, especially for new employees.
A considerable number of employees are not insured by the company in accordance with the law, including new employees. And try to pay as little insurance premium as possible for each insured employee.

The operating staff is adequate, their salaries are relatively high, and the workforce is stable. In order to achieve safe production and quality control, the operating staff corresponds to the operating process one by one (one person is responsible for only one process, or multiple people are responsible for one process but the division of labor and responsibilities are clear), and has received standardized and strict safety operation training.

The staffing is relatively sufficient, the workforce is appropriately streamlined, and the workforce is relatively stable. Workers can only start work after passing the training.

The staffing is insufficient, and the workers only receive simple training, and even no training for unimportant tasks.
The workers are paid by piecework, and their salary income is very unstable. One person needs to work in multiple positions to keep the workshops running. The workforce is unstable, and the recruitment of workers needs to be carried out continuously.

A sound safety production system has been established, the safety production responsibility system has been implemented, safety production management personnel are fully equipped, and safety production requirements are strict.
Enterprises are ashamed of safety production accidents, and relevant personnel, especially the top leaders, must be held accountable.

A relatively complete production safety system has been established and the production safety responsibility system has been implemented.
After a production safety accident occurs, the relevant personnel will be held accountable.

The safety production system and responsibility system remain only on paper. Small safety accidents occur frequently, and claims for compensation due to safety production accidents are very common.

Have established a sound quality control system with complete personnel and equipment. Strictly follow the standard requirements for production and testing. The production and testing requirements for products are higher than the standards.

Equipped with a professional after-sales service team. Proactively track and solve the problems faced by customers after customers have provided feedback on their after-sales service needs. Excellent product quality, mature management system, standardized after-sales service, so the after-sales cost is low.

Provide after-sales service. Proactively solve the problems faced by customers after customers have provided feedback on their after-sales service needs.

After-sales service personnel are not provided for the purpose of reducing costs. After-sales service is mainly coordinated and completed by individual sales personnel with little power and authority. There is no standardized process, and the after-sales results depend only on the individual person in charge of the company. After-sales costs are high. In order to reduce costs, reducing the number of customer claims and feedback on quality issues is used as the performance evaluation content of individual sales personnel, rather than systematically and fundamentally solving problems. Sales personnel are often forced to "sacrifice" their own personal interests to make up for the losses of customers.

Consider the cost-effectiveness and choose valves and accessories with good quality and durability.
The thread parameters of valves and accessories meet the standard requirements.

In order to reduce the selling price and improve competitiveness, cheap, fragile and non-durable valves and accessories are used.
It is often the case that the thread parameters of valves or accessories do not meet the standard requirements.

The filling and use of gas cause disturbance of the gas in the cylinder, which can easily cause rust and debris in the cylinder to block valves and accessories, making the cylinder unusable (There is pressure in the cylinder. In order to avoid impact damage, valves and accessories cannot be loosened at will, nor can be removed and disassembled at will). In addition, rust or debris in the cylinder will affect the quality and flow of filled gas. So inner shot blasting is very important.
The inner wall of each cylinder must be shot blasted at least twice with corresponding operating specifications (such as inner shot blasting time, etc.). The inner wall of the cylinder is bright and has no rust spots.

Attach great importance to inner shot blasting. Inner wall of every cylinder is shot blasted. The inner wall is bright and has no rust spots. The time or frequency of inner shot blasting can be increased according to customer requirements.

Whether to perform inner shot blasting depends on customer requirements and is charged at a high cost. The inner shot blasting time is short, and rust spots can be seen everywhere on the inner wall after shot blasting.
The rust and oxide scale on the inner wall of the cylinder which is not internally shot blasted is be removed by knocking the cylinder upside down and inserting a pressurized air gun into the cylinder to impact and discharge the water in the cylinder after the water pressure test.

Have established a complete quality control system with complete personnel and equipment. The inner surface of each cylinder is tested strictly in accordance with standard requirements.
