14 February 2014
www.chinabuses.org: Speaking of quality of an enterprise, lots of people would think it as product quality. However, operational team of Higer thinks that product quality is only a part of enterprise quality. An enterprise should provide customers with high-quality product as well as ensure high quality in all manufacturing process and the whole enterprise operation.

To achieve the goal mentioned above, Higer Bus started excellent performance management in 2009, which is a successful management mode of world-class enterprise. In late 1980s, U.S.A created this mode and it gradually got popular around the world. The core of this mode is to strengthen enterprise’ awareness of customer satisfaction and innovative activities, and to pursue excellent operational performance. It is not a goal but a kind of an evaluation method provided by this mode.
Qi Shuyao told us, “Quality Management System only needs enterprise quality to be qualified. But excellent performance management needs enterprise as a benchmark.” In the process of promoting excellent performance management, Higer finds respective benchmarking enterprises in seven parts of management, such as our domestic Huawei and Swedish Scania.
By applying excellent performance management, Higer Bus expands interested parties to the whole society from original shareholders, customer, employees and suppliers and improves quality concept to operational quality from product quality.

Thus, Higer Bus became one of six enterprises and the only one enterprise of Suzhou Industrial Park getting this honor.
Qi Shuyao said, “Instead of the award, excellent performance management enlightens and helps us a lot. We cared much more about product benchmarking in the past and now it’s management benchmarking that we care much more. It’s all because that excellence is a result of excellent process.”
Of course, operational quality is not only profiting level of an enterprise but also its contributions to the society, i.e., social responsibility. Higer Bus takes the lead in quality management of this level.
