The Ryongaksan Soap Factory developed various kinds of new products including shampoo, rinse and liquid soap by putting insam extracts in them and men’s shampoo by adding peppermint and aloe extracts. The products have different functions: they improve the nutrition of hair, make users feel refreshed and remove dandruff.
“What do the people demand and how do they assess things—this is the yardstick of creation our factory uses in the development and production of new products and the improvement of their quality,” said Jong Myong Hwa, head of the technical department.
According to her, factory employees actively present various ideas for improving quality from the standpoint of consumers, not producers, on different occasions. And they introduce them into production if they have any actual possibilities.
In particular, they frequent commercial networks to keep abreast of consumers’ appraisal and demand concerning products.
Most of the products of the factory were appreciated at the 13th Pyongyang Department Store No. 1 commodity exhibition last year. But some products failed to be favourably commented on by consumers.
The factory pooled the creative wisdom of employees in order to produce a variety of high-quality products from the standpoint of consumers.
In the course of this, it improved the quality of products by researching and introducing various analysis methods including a method of measuring the washing ability and washing load mass of liquid laundry soap, that of analysing the content of anionic surface active agent and that of analysing effective substances.
The factory’s liquid soap is winning popularity with users as it has great washing power even though a small amount of it is used, is convenient to use and has diverse functions.
Vessel detergents for removing smell developed by extracting the natural materials from sea water caltrop and others are favoured by housewives as they remove oily and impure smells and one or two rounds of washing of the vessel with water is enough to remove the cleaning components.
