Recently, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology and other five departments jointly issued the “Manufacturing Reliability Improvement Implementation Opinions” (Ministry of Industry and Information Technology Joint Section (2023) No. 77, hereinafter referred to as the “Implementation Opinions”). In order to better understand and implement the Implementation Opinions, it is interpreted as follows:

What is the background of the Implementation Opinions?

Reliability, as the core index reflecting the level of product quality, is an important reflection of the development level of manufacturing industry. The Party Central Committee and The State Council attach great importance to the work of quality development. The report of the 20th National Congress of the Party proposed to accelerate the construction of a manufacturing power and a quality power, and promote the high-end, intelligent and green development of the manufacturing industry. The Outline for the construction of a quality Power pointed out that the implementation of the quality and reliability improvement plan will improve the reliability level of machinery, electronics, automobiles and other products and their basic parts and components, and promote quality upgrading. After years of exploration and development, the reliability of China’s manufacturing industry has achieved remarkable results, the reliability engineering technology system has been basically established, the application field has continued to expand, and the reliability of some products has reached the international advanced level. However, in general, the reliability of China’s manufacturing industry still lags behind the advanced level of foreign countries, there are many weaknesses in the industrial base, the reliability indicators of key core products need to be improved, and the lack of management and professional personnel security capabilities hinder China’s manufacturing industry from moving toward the middle and high-end.

It lays a solid quality foundation for improving the core competitiveness and brand influence of enterprises, building a modern industrial system, and achieving high-quality development of manufacturing industry.

What is the connotation and extension of reliability?

Reliability is the ability of the product to complete the specified function under the specified conditions and within the specified time, and is the core indicator to reflect the quality level of the product, which runs through the whole process of product research and development, design, manufacturing and use. With the deep integration of the new generation of information technology and the manufacturing industry, the digital, networked, intelligent and green development of China’s manufacturing industry has accelerated, and the concept of reliability has been further expanded. First, the reliability of modern products needs to be comprehensively considered from multiple dimensions such as product and human-machine interaction, safety, environmental protection, and economy. Second, the reliability index requirements are more comprehensive, not only the pursuit of absolute high reliability, long life, but also pay more attention to the optimal reliability level under economic costs and ecological constraints. The third is from the “reliability of the use stage of the product” to “the reliability of the whole life cycle of the product and the whole chain”, which runs through the development, production, use, scrap and other stages of the product, covering raw materials, components, parts, whole machines and systems, involving a wider range of dimensions.

How to promote the implementation of the main objectives of the Implementation Opinions?

The “Implementation Opinions” put forward the “two-step” goal: The first stage to 2025, focus on strengthening the weak board, strong and weak items, in accordance with the ideas of consolidating the foundation, excellent service and promoting improvement, through carrying out technical research, establishing a standard system, improving public services and other measures, and strive to form more than 100 typical demonstrations of reliability improvement, promote more than 1,000 enterprises to implement reliability improvement, and lay a solid foundation for achieving the second stage goals; The second stage to 2030, focus on forging long board, promote results, in accordance with the tree benchmark, strong drive, promote the transformation of the idea, give full play to the reliability standard leading role, promote the reliability of 10 types of key core products to reach the international advanced level, cultivate a number of competitive and influential reliability public service institutions and reliability professionals, Promote the overall level of reliability of China’s manufacturing industry to a new level, and become an important engine to support the high-quality development of manufacturing industry.
