On April 08, 2014, the Ministry of Science and Technology issued the Circular No. 04/2014/TT-BKHCN guiding on the production technology level’s evaluation. Sectors in the application of contents and process of evaluation of technology level in manufacturing industries includes processing, fabrication, assembly and supporting industries.
In accordance with the guidance of this Circular, production technology is divided into four groups of basic component: group of technological equipment represented in the machinery, tools and means abbreviated as T (Technoware); group of human resources represented in the capacity to absorb the engineering and technology for production abbreviated as H (Humanware); group of information represented in documents and information data abbreviated as I (Infoware); group of organization and management represented in the work of organization and management abbreviated as O (Orgaware). The evaluation of production technology level of enterprises or sectors is done on the basis of level achieved of criteria of four groups of basic component T, H, I, O.
The group of criteria on technological equipment include 4 criteria such as level of depreciation of equipment and technology; capital intensity of equipment and technology; degree of innovation of equipment and technology and origin of equipment and technology. Basing on the
The evaluation of production technology level in quantitative terms, using the common scale (100 points) to make the same level of evaluation. The classification of technology level depends on the total points achieved of criteria with 04 levels: advanced, advanced average, average and backward.
This Circular takes effect on June 01, 2014.
