On February 11, the Ministry of industry and information technology held a teleconference, the theme of which is to deploy the steady and orderly restoration of normal production of industrial communication enterprises, and effectively reduce the impact of the epidemic on the real economy. Of course, the premise is to do a good job in scientific prevention and control of the epidemic.

At present, with the development of the epidemic situation, the negative impact on the industrial communication industry is gradually emerging. "Some economic activities have stopped, resulting in insufficient effective demand, difficult factor guarantee, and more difficulties in production and operation of some small and medium-sized enterprises with weak risk tolerance; affected by the epidemic, some industry enterprises are expected to become weak, and their capacity to expand production is restricted." Xin Guobin, Vice Minister of industry and information technology, said frankly.
What are the difficulties and pain points for enterprises to return to work?

First, it is difficult for workers to rework. Since the outbreak of the epidemic, all provinces and cities have generally taken restrictive measures such as isolation and observation on the floating population and migrant workers returning home, resulting in many difficulties for the return of employees from other places, especially for the labor-intensive enterprises, which face serious recruitment problems.

Secondly, it is difficult for logistics and transportation. Some areas have strictly controlled the transportation, focusing on the transportation of medical materials and relevant personnel. After the enterprise returns to work, it may face difficulties in the transportation of raw materials and products, which may affect the process of returning to work.
Thirdly, the supply chain is not running smoothly. Different regions and different types of enterprises have different time to return to work, which causes the supply chain operation of enterprises to be blocked and affects normal production.
Fourthly, the enterprise's capital chain is tight. Enterprises cannot return to work without revenue, but they still need to pay wages, rent, interest and other fixed expenses, and some enterprises have cash flow difficulties.

Fifth, there is a shortage of epidemic prevention materials. At present, the supply of basic epidemic prevention materials such as masks and disinfection supplies is still in a tight balance. Enterprises not only want to return to work as soon as possible to reduce losses, but also worry about the spread of the epidemic, facing a dilemma.
In response to these difficulties and problems, Xin Guobin said that the Ministry of industry and information technology will take targeted measures to promote the steady and orderly resumption of production.

The first is to promote the return to work and production of enterprises in categories and batches.
Specifically, the areas with serious epidemic situation, especially Hubei Province, should still put the prevention and control of epidemic situation in the first place. While other areas do well in prevention and control, they should speed up the promotion of enterprises to return to work, refine and clarify the plan of return to work in batches.

To drive the upstream and downstream of the industrial chain to work together.
    two is to ensure the normal operation of the transport chain.

Thirdly, give full play to the leading role of large enterprises.
   Support central enterprises, local state-owned enterprises and large enterprises to improve the supply and demand docking mechanism, organize industrial chain cooperation, and ensure the production of key materials. Actively promote the construction and production of major projects and major projects, and drive the upstream and downstream enterprises of the industrial chain to resume production.
Fourthly, we will increase our support to small and medium-sized enterprises.
   small and medium-sized enterprises are the most affected by the epidemic. Supporting the development of small and medium-sized enterprises plays an important role in stabilizing social expectations and alleviating social anxiety. We should make good use of all the policies and measures of the five departments' emergency notice on winning the prevention and control of epidemic situation, strengthening the prevention and control of epidemic situation and ensuring the financial support of enterprises, and increase the financial support for small and medium-sized enterprises.

We should establish and improve the working mechanism, form a working force, and make it an important political task to promote the resumption of production.
