Positioning is very important for both an organization and an individual. Accurate positioning allows one to move toward established goals; otherwise, development will be blind and lead astray. To strengthen the macro-guidance of the eight major life service industries and accurately grasp industry development trends, the Service Trade Department of the Ministry of Commerce organized an 8-day training seminar from May 9 to 16 for staff from eight associations including laundry, cooking, bathing, and hotels. The seminar was titled "Key Personnel Training on Life Service Industry Statistics and Industry Analysis Report Writing." Deputy Inspector Wang Huiying, Director Peng Kequan, Researcher Liang Zhaoshan, and 20 people from the eight associations participated in the training. I represented the Laundry Professional Committee of the China General Chamber of Commerce in this training seminar.
This closed training seminar had three tasks: first, specialized training on "How to Do Industry Statistics Well," "Statistical Data Accounting Methods," "Life Service Industry Data Aggregation and Estimation Methods," and "Local Industry Reports and Summary Data Review Methods"; second, conducting review of industry reports and summary data as well as aggregation and estimation of life service industry data; third, writing industry statistical analysis reports. Despite the tight schedule, heavy tasks, and high difficulty, requiring simultaneous learning, summarizing, and application, under the full guidance of the Ministry of Commerce's Service Trade Department and the joint efforts of participants, the tasks were successfully completed.
Regarding my participation in drafting the laundry industry statistical analysis report, I have the following main impressions: first, there is a gap between the industry association's estimates and actual calculations for indicators such as the number of enterprises, number of employees, and enterprise operating income. My understanding of this scientific statistical calculation method went through several stages: disbelief — suspicion — half belief — basic trust. Second, in the laundry industry, from local governments to enterprises overall, there is a general practice of integrity guidance, honest operation, and truthful filling and reporting of forms and data. Among the more than a thousand forms reviewed this time, only two were returned. Third, compared with other industries, the laundry industry has certain gaps in scale regarding operating income, number of enterprises, and number of employees. Especially in the strong strength of brand enterprises and the overall industry development speed, the laundry industry needs scientific layout and scale development. Efforts must be made to strengthen large-scale brand enterprises, specialize and refine smaller enterprises, and manage industry associations meticulously and effectively. The laundry industry, based on integrity, rich and diverse excellence competitions, and a relatively standardized standard system, combined with the united and hardworking industry personnel, will surely forge a healthy development path for the laundry industry with Chinese characteristics.
Relevant statistical data and quantitative analysis reports must not be disclosed; the Ministry of Commerce will release them uniformly at an appropriate time.
