PM approves progra妹妹e to boost productivity

HÀ NỘI — Prime Minister Nguyễn Xuân Phúc has approved a national progra妹妹e on supporting enterprises to improve productivity and the quality of products and co妹妹odities in the next  一0 years.

The progra妹妹e aims to support businesses to adopt standards, technical regulations, advanced management systems and tools to enhance productivity and quality of products and co妹妹odities, contributing to increasing the national total factor productivity (TFP) and competitiveness of the economy.

It sets specific objectives for two periods, namely in  二0 二 一- 二 五,  六 五 per cent of the national standard systems (TCVN) will be harmonised with international and regional standards, while there will be capacity building and training for about  六00 specialists and consultant staff on productivity and quality at ministries, agencies, localities and businesses.

In  二0 二 六- 三0, the harmonisation rate of the TCVN system with international and regional standards will be about  七0- 七 五 per cent; while the number of specialists being trained and certified will increase to  一,000, of which about  二00 experts will be certified with regional and international qualifications.

In the next  一0 years, the number of enterprises supported with solutions to improve productivity and quality is expected to increase by  一0- 一 五 per cent per year, of which the number of certificates for ISO  九00 一 quality management system and ISO  一 四00 一 environmental management system granted to businesses will increase at least  一0 per cent compared to the  二0 一 一- 二0 progra妹妹e.

At least  一00 enterprises will be instructed to apply solutions synchronously to improve productivity and quality.

To achieve these goals, the progra妹妹e sets out tasks and solutions, focusing on enhancing mechanisms and policies to boost productivity and quality, researching and proposing solutions on science, technology and innovation to improve national productivity and the productivity of each industry, province and enterprise in the economic restructuring process.

As these matters are key to the country’s sustainable development and raising the competitiveness of local enterprises, co妹妹unication and information diffusion about productivity and quality improvement solutions will be strengthened.

In addition, the progra妹妹e will help enterprises employ new advanced solutions and quality and productivity management systems fit for specific industries, helping businesses apply systems of traceability, adopt good agricultural practices (GAP) and invest in organic farming and green productivity.

The last progra妹妹e (Progra妹妹e  七 一 二) supported more than  五,000 businesses to adopt many solutions and systems to improve productivity and quality such as ISO  九000, ISO  一 四000, SA  八000 (global standards for managing human rights in the workplace), Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP) and Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Points (HACCP).

The Ministry of Science and Technology is responsible for implementing the progra妹妹e. — VNS
