High-quality, reliable and worry-free products.
Meet the needs of mass high-end market, niche market and customization. |
Provide products with reliable quality and reasonable price.
Products are manufactured for the mass mid-range market. |
The understanding of the brand is limited to the design of words and graphics, without the concept of brand positioning. Products are unable to enter the high-end and mid-range markets.
|
Brand Mission
|
Resolutely maintain the brand image of users and provide products with worry-free quality.
|
Meet the rational needs of users and moderately reduce the cost of customers purchasing and using gas equipment.
|
There is no concept of brand mission. Believe in the creed of "low price is competitive". Other producers cannot understand why the prices of inferior brands are always lower than the manufacturing costs.
|
Brand Concept
|
Produce with high standard and strict requirement.
Respect life. Do a good job in product and service research and development. Meet the high standards and high reliability requirements of the market. |
Products meet standards requirement.

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. |
Operation Staffing And Training
|
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. |
Production Safety Status
|
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.
|
Quality Control System, Personnel And Equipment Configuration
|
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.

Have established a sound quality control system with complete personnel and equipment. Strictly follow the standard requirements for production and testing.
|
The quality control system is imperfect, some quality control systems remain only in documents, quality control staff are insufficient, and testing equipment is often idle. For example, customers often find that valves or accessories on the product are not installed and tightened.
|
Whether To Sell Semi-Finished Or Untested Products?
|
Responsible for quality and do not sell semi-finished and untested products.
|
Responsible for quality and do not sell semi-finished and untested products.
|
Semi-finished and untested products are sold for profit.
|
After-sales Service
|
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.
