In performing its assigned functions and tasks, the Science and Technology sector has coordinated with other sectors and People's Committees of districts and cities to integrate the contents of the Program to support enterprises in improving productivity and product quality and has achieved remarkable results in many fields.

| Son Nam Textile Joint Stock Company ( Nam Dinh city) is one of the units actively innovating management and operation methods to improve productivity and quality of business operations. |
The Science and Technology sector has implemented projects to support businesses in improving productivity and quality, linking science and technology activities with production and life. The awareness of state management agencies and especially businesses about productivity and quality activities has changed in a positive direction. Many businesses have paid attention to investing in innovative management and operation methods; applying standard quality management systems, improved management tools, declaring products that meet standards and regulations, etc., thereby reducing waste in production activities, ensuring product quality that satisfies customer needs, and minimizing defective and poor quality products. Typically, after applying the 5S management tool, labor productivity has increased by an average of over 20%; Nam Ha Garment Joint Stock Company (Nam Dinh city) applies ISO 9000, Lean, Six Sigma management tools to increase overall productivity by 23%; Minh Tu Joint Stock Company (Truc Ninh), Cong Phuong Company Limited (Hai Hau) apply VietGAHP standard production process so products ensure safety and quality, trusted by consumers...
However, according to the Department of Science and Technology, despite many efforts, programs and projects to improve productivity and quality have encountered many difficulties in recent times due to the lack of management staff and consultants on productivity and quality; funding sources mainly from the local budget are limited. On the other hand, most enterprises in the province are small and medium-sized enterprises, so awareness, interest and proactive implementation of improvements are still inadequate. Therefore, the productivity and quality movement has only been widely implemented; maintaining, developing and creating a culture of productivity is still a big challenge for enterprises.
On March 9, 2023, the Provincial People's Committee issued Plan No. 40/KH-UBND on "Improving productivity based on science and technology and innovation in Nam Dinh province by 2030" with the goal of making productivity an important driving force for development in industries and fields through the application of new achievements of science and technology. Apply advanced management systems and productivity improvement tools, combined with research, training and human resource development, in line with the trend of the fourth industrial revolution and the trend of developing a green economy and a circular economy. Implement science and technology tasks; support businesses in research, innovation, technology transfer and application to improve productivity and quality of products and goods, contributing to increasing the contribution of total factor productivity (TFP) to economic growth; improve productivity, quality, efficiency and competitiveness of the local economy. To support and promote productivity and quality improvement, in the coming time, the province will continue to improve mechanisms and policies in the direction of creating favorable conditions for businesses to access and share information on databases, productivity improvement activities, incentive and support policies, etc.
Faced with the reality that most of the province's enterprises are small and medium-sized, so their commitment to participating in productivity improvement activities is still limited, the province has directed the selection and implementation of support for 30 units to certify products and goods, certify safety management systems, environment, energy, occupational health and safety, traceability and apply productivity improvement tools; 3 pilot models on applying advanced management systems and productivity improvement tools. Human resources for productivity improvement activities are extremely necessary to support, guide enterprises and implement them at enterprises, so the province will focus on training and developing a team of productivity experts who meet national standards; training, coaching, and fostering knowledge and skills on productivity and quality for relevant officials, civil servants and public employees to effectively support the productivity and quality movement in the locality; Equip leaders, managers and employees of the enterprise with knowledge to proactively implement productivity improvement solutions at the unit. Coordinate the implementation of training and development programs on productivity, career guidance programs at 2-5 universities and vocational training institutions to form a network of organizations supporting productivity and quality activities in the enterprise. Diversify forms of communication; organize workshops to share experiences, honor and reward collectives and individuals with achievements in productivity and quality improvement activities; encourage and support enterprises to participate in the National Quality Award, cooperative research activities on productivity improvement solutions.
In recent times, the Department of Science and Technology has implemented a number of activities in the field of productivity and quality such as participating in conferences, seminars and organizing training courses on productivity and quality for civil servants of specialized management departments, People's Committees of districts and cities; businesses and students of universities and colleges in the province. In August 2024, the Department of Science and Technology organized a training conference on "Solutions to promote productivity and quality improvement in enterprises for sustainable development". The conference provided solutions to help enterprises improve productivity, quality and reduce production costs to compete sustainably on the basis of applying new, advanced management systems, models and productivity improvement tools suitable for the unit.
In addition to the support policies of the State, each enterprise must also raise awareness of the need to improve productivity and product quality as a matter of survival and must originate from the enterprise to ensure sustainable development. From there, appropriate solutions can be selected to effectively implement the enterprise, helping to improve its competitiveness for sustainable development.
