Quality is a central part of Huawei's strategy and we insist on succeeding through quality.

In 2024, we achieved many breakthroughs in quality.

• We continued setting clear quality objectives and providing quality-related incentives, and strengthened quality backtracking.
• We implemented multiple quality initiatives to improve quality leadership and awareness, foster a culture of quality among all staff, and encourage employees to pursue quality every day. These initiatives included the formulation of new quality policies, and quality conferences, audits, and training for employees.

• We have built up significant experience and capabilities in quality management over the past 30-plus years, and we are adapting this experience to address the unique characteristics of different business domains. This is achieved by embedding quality requirements into every process of our business domains.
• We have maintained a firm grip on quality by design for products and systems, and strengthened the management of incoming quality control and high-quality delivery.
• We have ensured stable and secure network operations and prevented systematic quality risks.
• We have extended our quality requirements and management to our suppliers and partners (including channel partners) so that we can jointly drive the entire industry forward.

Together, we deliver quality products and services to keep earning customer loyalty and trust.

• We strengthened staffing and upskilling for quality-related positions and created a robust quality team. Our 10-plus quality engineering committees took on the responsibility of nurturing key quality-related capabilities and cultivating seeded players.
• We made full use of quality systems engineering methods, such as the Huawei hardware innovation and optimization approach (HINA), theory of inventive problem solving (TRIZ), and failure mode and effects analysis (FMEA), to help address real-world challenges facing our businesses.
• Our quality organizations worked alongside business teams on delivery to reinforce and refine quality.
• We've doubled down on efforts to manage knowledge gained during operations and after-project retrospection.

Combined, these improvements have helped us develop digital and intelligent quality management capabilities and succeed through quality, giving us an advantage in insights, decision making, and action.

• We stayed focused on our valued customers and core products throughout the year while embracing this great time. We have continued efforts to use survey assessments and closed-loop improvement for ongoing improvement. We also refined the model for assessing the health of our partner ecosystem. This has helped us create more channels through which we can collect more feedback from customers and partners.
• Business management teams have also been tasked with improving customer stickiness and achieving shared success with partners by determining key areas for improvement through an analysis of key issues and taking concrete improvement measures.

These future-focused mechanisms create an upward spiral of ongoing improvement.
