In recent years, the industrial design in China has rapid development, because of the needs of industrial transformation and upgrading, and policy emphasis. One of the important policies to promote the development of industrial design, is carrying out the industrial design centers and other carriers actively for all regions. Recently, the ministry of industry and information technology has revised the “Management Measures for the Recognition of National Industrial Design Centers”. In the management measures, it proposes to strengthen the establishment and improvement of gradient cultivation system for industrial design center , and push on the sustained promotion of the main market player of industrial design. Based on this background, it is necessary to establish a standardized evaluation process and method to carry out the cultivation and selection of provincial or municipal industrial design centers more efficiently. Starting from the mechanism of innovative ability evaluation, and based on the data analysis of Beijing sophisticated industrial design centers in previous years, an evaluation index system is established with “quantitative analysis as the main focus, qualitative analysis as the auxiliary” to promote the construction of gradient cultivation of industrial design centers.
