The China Press and Publications published an article titled "The 16th National Book Fair Book Printing Quality Inspection Results Announcement" and allotted the secretaries. The report pointed out that about 20% of the 3010 kinds of books selected in this book market have different levels of defects in print quality, of which 39 have serious quality defects, and books with serious quality defects account for 1.3% of the total number of books detected. ". This result is much higher than the 0.19% and 0.15% respectively of the unqualified varieties tested by the previous two book fairs, which has also caused great concern in the industry. People can not help but ask: What is the reason why the current book market test results compared with the previous two, the proportion of non-conforming products did not fall instead of falling? After careful and careful analysis, the conclusion is: This has changed from the previous sample book inspection to the expert's random sampling inspection in the exhibition and sales fields.
It is the adoption of a more objective detection method that makes the test results of this book market more credible and persuasive. The publication of the test results of the current book market is not a negation of the overall improvement of the quality of book printing, but a kind of “sublation” and “horizontal”. It is the government-led inspection of the quality of book printing, and the quality inspection department of books. As a bold and helpful attempt, it is worthy of full affirmation. The positive effects and changes brought about by the spot inspection method are as follows: First, due to objective and fair operation science, it can guarantee the coverage rate of sample inspection units, and can also take into account the diversity and diversity of book varieties, and reduce many human factors. Highly representative. Second, because the principle of “most sample books are drawn from the stores and a small number of sample books are drawn from the exhibition hall” is adopted this time, this test result is closer to the status quo of book quality on the market, and is more conducive to finding outstanding problems and with The universal foundation is also the most important purpose of book printing inspection.
Again, induction and analysis are the basis for the quality inspection of books. The discovery of book test results is not a simple digital publication. Instead, it is necessary to find out the problems with universality, regularity, and representativeness in a large number of data to generalize, and to come up with an overall relationship of internality and regularity. The conclusions provide the basis for decision makers at all levels to improve their work.
Finally, mechanism innovation is the driving force of book quality inspection work. As with any work, it is “changing and connecting”. This year's book fair has received undeniable results due to the attention given to it by the Press and Publication Administration and the meticulous organization of the quality inspection center and the use of sampling methods to detect the quality of book printing. It is a strong proof that mechanism innovation is a powerful driving force for quality inspection to a new level.
The announcement of the test results of this bookstore brought us many thoughts and put forward many new topics for the quality inspection of books. For example, how can the government better play a leading role in the implementation of the book boutique strategy and more effectively implement supervision; how the quality inspection departments at all levels can organize quality inspections in a more efficient manner and improve the publishing units and printing companies to catch products? The enthusiasm of printing quality; how to form a good atmosphere and evaluation system, and form an effective mechanism for the books to produce quality products and create famous brands. In short, how does the quality inspection of book printing play its due role in the news publishing industry? I think that at present and for a period to come, we must strive to do a good job in four areas:
First, we must work hard to build the authority of the quality inspection of books and give better guidance and supervision. It is necessary to vigorously publicize and implement the "Book Quality Management Regulations," "Interim Measures for the Supervision and Administration of Print Quality of Books and Periodicals," and "Book Quality Guarantee System" as the key points for all publishing companies and printing companies to create quality projects to raise awareness and unify ideas; Activities such as "Creating Excellence Standards", "Excellent Selection of Directorates", etc., have guided publishing and printing units to improve quality for their own development; through regular announcements of "Quality Inspection Announcements," they have established "needs" and provided solutions to these problems. A lot of first-hand information and data; Third, the government authorities and the book quality inspection departments have relatively clear understanding of the current status and problems of book printing quality. Some quality defects, such as loose pages, pages flipped Basically, the inspection was invisible, and among the products with serious quality defects found in this sampling inspection, printing defects accounted for 13%, and binding defects accounted for 69%. To many excellent products that are beautifully printed, and there are few books that can achieve high-quality products after this time sampling; fourth, the current book After the results were announced, the inspected units were convinced and established an authoritative image of the quality inspection department, which promoted the urgency of book publishers and printing companies rushing down to catch up with the quality of book printing and played a good guiding role. The use of book printing quality testing methods and the publication of the results of the edition of the book of books have made us further aware of the purpose of book quality inspection work.
First of all, objectiveness and truth are the fundamentals of book quality inspection work. The quality inspection of book printing is to objectively and truly reflect the current status of the industry, that is, "panoramic display", which can neither be applied nor discredited.
Second, the problem is found in the quality inspection of books. Through the publication of quality inspection results of printed books, we must affirm the highlights, and we must also find shortcomings; we must report good news and pay attention to worry. Because "bright spots" and "happiness" do not exist, and "disadvantages" and "worry" are not exposed, they will evolve from quantitative changes to qualitative changes over time, and accumulating small illnesses will become a major problem, eventually causing a disaster. In this sense, finding problems and exposing hidden dangers are the preconditions for solving the problems of book printing quality, and the quality inspection work of basic printing systems is outside the industry and blank spots emerge.
Second, work hard to build the timeliness of the work of quality inspection of books, and carry out special inspections to provide services for building a harmonious society. The timeliness of book quality inspection work is not only reflected in the coverage and breadth of quality inspection products, but more importantly reflected in the audience and influence of book products. At present, the effectiveness of book quality inspection work is very important. It is very important to concentrate time, manpower, financial resources, and material resources, and to increase social attention, concern of the masses, wide readership, and a large proportion of book production and sales structure. The inspection and improvement of the printing quality of some products. For example, primary and secondary school textbooks, primary and secondary school supplementary books, and various types of activity books related to elementary and middle school students, especially primary and secondary school supplementary books, due to strong timeliness, wide coverage, large print, high social attention, and Inadequate supervision and other issues are the hard-hit areas in which books have severely printed quality defects. The masses have responded strongly and even attracted the attention of CCTV’s “Focus Interview”, which has seriously affected the image of the public in the press and publishing industry. Therefore, great efforts should be made. By carrying out special inspection methods, grasping key points, focusing on key issues, selecting favorable opportunities, and conducting spot inspections in workshops and warehouses, it is difficult for unqualified products to flow into society, protecting consumers' rights and interests, and maintaining the image of news and publishing work.
Third, efforts are made to build the usefulness of book quality inspection work, and building the quality of books is the first priority for publishing and printing units. The department of book testing shall use its own effective work and services, such as education, training, and training of quality professionals for publishing units and printing companies, and through the exchange of experience through the training of representatives of the organization, the organization of technical contests and business knowledge will be exposed to product exposure platforms." Such methods will create a strong atmosphere for public opinion supervision; through methods that do not engage in special zones and leave no corners, all publishers will adopt random inspections, mutual inspections, and other methods, conduct universal inspections, and form a system to achieve 100% coverage and 100% inspections. We will not engage in book competitions of publishers in a certain area or region, assess quality and technical inspectors, and examiners, and increase the importance attached to the work of publishing companies and printing companies in grasping the quality of product printing, so that they can truly realize in practice that The improvement of the quality of product printing is the improvement of its own core competitiveness, and doing a good job in this work not only has good social, human, and good economic benefits, but also seriously treats books and quality inspections for publishing houses and printing companies. It’s a good thing to use, to get in, to get it, to be good. Capital, is not an option, but can not leave even for a moment. Only in this way will really work book quality have vitality.
Fourth, efforts to build the openness of book quality inspection work is an important aspect of creating a good atmosphere for brand-name products. It is necessary to take effective measures to adhere to expert inspections and create conditions for the wide participation of the society and the enthusiastic participation of readers in the open pattern of book quality inspection. The market is a barometer of quality. The customer's eyes are bright. Through media surveys in large and medium-sized shops and supermarkets, the media launches activities such as "My Heart's Excellent Book Selection" and other activities to increase the degree of social participation by modifying the current defective product exchange. The mechanism will universally identify the ability of unqualified products among readers and protect the legitimate rights and interests of consumers. For example, most publishers can adopt such measures as: “If there is a problem with the quality of product printing, please contact us at the exchange”. Change to “If there is a problem with the quality of product printing, please exchange at the bookstore.” "The book quality inspection work will be closer to the readers, and the people-oriented thinking will surely play an active role in promoting and improving the quality of book printing."
