Resolving Servicemembers' Difficulties with Closed-Loop Implementation: Online Service Platform Bridges the 'Last Mile' of Grassroots Service
A Naval Aviation Unit Headquarters Builds an Online Service Platform — Requests Submitted Instantly, Difficulties Resolved with Closed-Loop Implementation
PLA Daily Report by Yang Shenglong and special correspondent Hao Yongfei: Recently, a flight-crew cadre (空勤干部) in a certain Naval Aviation unit submitted a report through the unit's newly established online service platform reflecting difficulties his dependents faced in finding employment after relocating to follow him on assignment. The following day, headquarters cadres verified the situation with him and proactively coordinated with relevant local departments to understand applicable policies, resolving the problem satisfactorily.
The unit's leadership explained that in recent years they have required the headquarters to continuously improve its work style (工作作风), treating the enhancement of grassroots service capacity as an important lever for breaking through difficulties in grassroots development. In response to conditions identified through research — including delayed feedback on servicemembers' requests and low processing efficiency — the unit built an online service platform, assigned dedicated personnel to track and supervise cases throughout the entire process and provide real-time progress updates, and achieved "instant submission, full-process tracking, and closed-loop implementation" (即时提交、全程跟踪、闭环落实) of servicemembers' requests. To bridge the "last mile" of grassroots service, while continuously optimizing the platform's functions, they have also normalized "inspection and visit days" (巡访日), organizing headquarters cadres to meet face-to-face with grassroots servicemembers to answer questions and resolve concerns — resolving on the spot those issues that can be immediately addressed, and for those that cannot be immediately resolved, recording them, setting clear deadlines, and following up on outcomes. At the same time, the unit has optimized its feedback mechanism: by leveraging occasions such as the two-way review meetings between headquarters and grassroots units (机关基层双向讲评会) and servicemember forums (官兵恳谈会), it regularly organizes grassroots servicemembers to evaluate headquarters service quality, creating reverse pressure (倒逼) on the headquarters to continuously improve its work style and strengthen its service consciousness.
Not long ago, a ground-crew cadre (地勤干部) in the unit submitted a report on the online service platform reflecting that organizing, inspecting, and stowing equipment and tools during training was taking an excessive amount of time, affecting efficiency. Upon receiving the request, the headquarters immediately organized a working group to conduct an on-site assessment and solicit broad opinions and suggestions. The working group, taking into account the realities of ground-crew operations, resolved the problem by optimizing equipment storage layouts and adding tool storage facilities, earning commendation from the servicemembers.
Requests submitted instantly, difficulties resolved with closed-loop implementation. Since the beginning of this year, the unit's headquarters has accepted dozens of servicemember requests, with the case-completion rate and servicemember satisfaction both rising steadily.
