Meanwhile, the factory operates the non-permanent scientific and technological evaluation committee every week to carefully review and evaluate the creation results of employees according to individuals, thereby encouraging them to develop more than 50 new products every month without fail.
Researchers of the design studio of the industrial technology institute grasped the consumers’ demand for products through the commercial network and developed new and specific hosiery designs on the basis of contrastive analysis of hosiery produced by the factory.
