Profile SK 21 Project
SK 21 Project
The founder of the Shinkong Group, Mr. Ho-Su Wu, advanced the motto that "MAINTAINING THE STATUS QUO MEANS LAGGING BEHIND: PROGRESS STEMS FROM RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT" as ShinKong's guiding light. Today, given the huge environmental challenges of the 21st century, Shinkong Synthetic Fibers Corp. aims to pursue a feasible research program designed to push the envelope on existing chemical fiber knowledge within a green framework. The next three years are to be focused on what,SSFC visionaries have named the "SK 21 Project". The final goal of this project is to establish the SK 21 Foundation as the basis for Shinkong’s development into the 21st Century.
The main directions of "SK 21 Project" include:
1. To aesthetically enhance and substantially improve working environments and strengthen SSFC CIS.
2. Revamp the organization by encouraging youth-oriented initiatives as well as education in new technologies for advanced personnel.
3. Streamline the rewards and treatment system to achieve greater integration between employee income company goals.
4. Identify new strategies for marketing, production and R&D.
5. Strengthen the core principles of "pragmatism & realism", "a methodical approach", "fairness & transparency", and "team spirit".
 
The SK 21 project will push for a communications platform centered around the internet with satellite symposiums and a streamlined proposal system. As to organizational restructuring, we plan to divide longitudinal organizations into four business groups based on the maturity difference of individual products in the market. The first business group is earmarked to manage Staple Fibers & PET divisions and so on SBU. The second business group will manage the Filament Yarn & Industrial Yarn divisions, the Huachun business division and so on SBU. The third business group will handle the Film division, Engineering Plastics, Shinkong Industry (Hangzhou) Ltd. And so on SBU. The final new business group will manage the project investment division, UBright Optronics Corp, Shinpont Industry Inc. and potential new businesses. Together, these four business groups will not only reflect the management of longitudinal direction but will also strengthen the coordination of crosswise organizations. As each business group's exclusive SUB will be expected to actively plan and implement competitive strategies specific to its own products and market characteristics, SSFC will give each SBU more autonomy of decision at the policy level while expecting each individual SBU to reach higher goals assume greater portion of risk and responsibiliuty for profit and loss.

In addition, SSFC will combine the former R&D division and the new product extension division under the unified direction of a new "R&D Committee", and establish organizational mechanisms for crosswise contact that will enhance contact between marketing and R&D. This new committee forms the main axis of SSFC’s thrust to extend itself deeper into high-tech industries: the General Manager will sit as Chairman while the Managers of each business group will serve as members sitting on the R&D Committee. Under the framework of the Committee, the corporation will collaborate horizontally, respond to market demand fully, transform client demands into coherent R&D strategies, and enable R&D Department and New Product Promotion Department to act more proactively to capture the essentials for success.

SSFC's short-term goal is to exploit existing value chains and establish a stable foundation in the downstream industries. Once this foundation has settled, the scope will be extend to upstream industries, leading to the construction of a complete production system. Future projections call for the budget and speed of R&D to increase accordingly. Above all, the direction of R&D needs to be aligned with market demands to respond to the challenges of rapidly shortened product lifecycles.

SSFC possesses an excellent corporate culture, a mature R&D foundation and a stable capital-raising ability. These factors combine to form a dynamic synergy that promises continued success. On this basis, SSFC will realized its vision for the future: to become a technologically advanced polyester enterprise devoted to sustainable growth. Over the next three years, SK 21 will become the common language for SSFC’s restructuring. I sincerely hope that we will all join together in this historic transitional moment and contribute to making Shinkong one of the great’s in its field.
