At Zhangjiagang Zhongtian Precision Molding Co, a measurement center deals with 200 products across 50 categories and produces tens of thousands of data points on a daily basis.

According to Chen Ming, chief quality officer at the company, the data collected by the measurement center is accessible to quality engineers and quality control managers, who can use the information to determine the quality of the company's products. Additionally, modifications can be made to the manufacturing process based on the data.

As a result, the injection cycle has been shortened from 86 to 54 seconds. Additionally, the pass rate of water pumps manufactured by the company has increased from 88 percent to 95 percent, while the development cycle of molds has been shortened by 14 days. These improvements have significantly increased the company's competitiveness in the market.

In recent years, the Zhangjiagang municipal administration for market regulation has been encouraging companies to hire chief quality officers. In total, 4,455 companies in the city have used a CQO.
