Focusing on the theme of "High-quality Development of Service-oriented Manufacturing", the Service-oriented Manufacturing Innovation and Research Conference 2022 jointly sponsored by Shanghai Municipal Commission of Economy and Informatization, Tongji University and China Management Science Society (CMSS) was held in Tongji University on December 21st. Lu Peiming, Executive Vice President of Tongji University, Xiang Jinwu, Academician of Chinese Academy of Engineering and President of China Management Science Society, and Liu Shangwen, President of the Service-oriented Manufacturing Research Institute of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, delivered speeches respectively. Xu Qingrui and Yang Shanlin, Academicians of Chinese Academy of Engineering, sent messaged. Chen Xiaohong, Academician of Chinese Academy of Engineering, gave a keynote speech entitled "Digital Technology Piloting the Road of Service-oriented Manufacturing Innovation". Ruan Li, Vice Chairman of Shanghai Municipal Commission of Economy and Informatization, delivered a video speech.
Mr. Ruan mentioned that service-oriented manufacturing is an important direction for the transformation and upgrading of manufacturing industry, and a new manufacturing mode and industrial form for the integration of manufacturing and service. This Conference is one of the powerful measures to implement the spirit of the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China. He put forward three suggestions on how to pool the efforts of government, industries, universities and research to promote the development of service-oriented manufacturing, build an ecological integration of industry and service, and help key industries to a new level: First, dig deep, incubate and cultivate more service-oriented manufacturing demonstration benchmarks. The Service-oriented Manufacturing Innovation and Research Center, together with Shanghai Producer Services Promotion Association and with the support of relevant leading enterprises, launched the "Service-oriented Manufacturing Seed-search Plan", hoping to explore the promising stars of service-oriented manufacturing around the "3+6" key industries in Shanghai, cultivate more benchmarks for service-oriented manufacturing transformation, and lead more enterprises to take the road of service-oriented manufacturing. Second, help regional economic development and further promote the development of service-oriented manufacturing. In the past two years, Pudong New Area and Songjiang District have successively won the service-oriented manufacturing demonstration towns of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology. It is hoped that these two demonstration towns will combine their respective industrial development endowments, take model innovation as the guide and service supply as the guarantee, further strengthen policy guidance, deepen model innovation, make every effort to build a new highland for service-oriented manufacturing development, and help enterprises take off the road of innovation and development with service-oriented manufacturing to achieve the overall goal of regional economic development. And third, form a joint force to create a new ecosystem for the development of service-oriented manufacturing. The development of the industry cannot be separated from a warm and friendly ecosystem. The Service-oriented Manufacturing Innovation and Research Conference 2022 will become an important milestone in the development of service-oriented manufacturing in Shanghai, and a new starting point for the integration of government, industries, universities and research, and the combination of theoretical research and industry practice.
The Conference held the Unveiling Ceremony of the Service-oriented Manufacturing Innovation and Research Center and the Service-oriented Manufacturing Management Professional Committee of China Management Science Society, released the “Service-oriented Manufacturing Seed-search Plan”, and awarded the fourth batch of service-oriented manufacturing demonstrations in Shanghai. Guests from universities and enterprises discussed the promotion of service-oriented manufacturing concepts and the exploration of service-oriented manufacturing practices in the sub-forums.
