Facing with various uncertain factors, each project teams still complete their tasks successfully.The projects have formed more than 80 solidified measures, added or revised 62 document standards, implemented 6 promotion results, formed 4 invention patents,1 new utility patent, and published 4 papers.
With the continuous improvement of the Lean Six Sigma management,the level of project is improved gradually.
