Abstract
It is important that factories can produce safe toys and keep their business to run in an effective way. A technical model for small and medium sized toy factories in China to deal with European and US toy safety requirements has been proposed after literature survey. The technical model was proposed by considering Toy Safety Assessment; Web based product compliance platforms; the Quality Management System ISO 9001:2015; Cost and resources optimization, the Compliance Management Systems -Guidelines ISO 19600:2014 and Industry 4.0. The factory quality management system based on ISO 9001:2015 is the mediator of this model. Four factories have been selected to evaluate this model. Also, an internet questionnaire survey has been performed to evaluate the constructs of this model. It is found that all the feedbacks from the 4 factories and the findings from the internet questionnaire survey supported the model and the relationships among the constructs.
