There are 8 projects in this competition. Compared to the previous four phases, the depth and breadth have been greatly improved. All five elements of management objectives QCDSM (Quality, Costing, Deadline, Safety, Morale) were involved.

1. Shell seal improvement project of R&D Center: The material is changed from solid to liquid, and the production and assembly method is changed from manual to automatic, which improves the degree of automation, conforms to the characteristics of Industry 4.0 and applies the TRIZ theoretical knowledge. This project not only improves production efficiency, but also reduces costs while ensuring the quality.
