Chinese tool companies must take the road of "small specialization"

Editor's Note: Since the beginning of the new century, the domestic manufacturing industry has accelerated the pace of technological transformation, so domestic CNC machine tools have begun to enter the manufacturing field. A sharp contradiction quickly surfaced, and advanced CNC machine tools, but not equipped with advanced domestic tools, had to be equipped with imported tools. The product structure of China's tool industry for decades, when the international financial crisis hit, finally exposed serious defects, dragging the hind legs of manufacturing modernization.

Since the beginning of the new century, the Chinese tool industry has begun to accelerate the process of structural adjustment and industrial upgrading, but the pace of progress is slow. In the face of the financial turmoil, many companies have a strong sense of crisis.
So how can we adjust the industrial structure as soon as possible and give full play to the huge advantages of China's tool industry? First of all, we must give full play to the unique resource advantages and human resources advantages of our tool materials, conscientiously change the management concepts of tool companies, strengthen services, and put the needs of satisfying the manufacturing industry in the first place. Secondly, we must also give play to the characteristics of China's tool enterprises, foster strengths and avoid weaknesses, and take a small, specialized, small and refined road.
Utilizing Advantages Compared with advanced multinational tool companies, Chinese tool companies have large gaps in terms of capital, technology, equipment and management level. It seems that they cannot find any advantages. However, at least two major advantages are valuable resources for the development of China's tool industry. That is: natural resources and human resources.
Then, how can we give full play to China's resource and manpower advantages and push the development of the tool industry to a new level? First of all, we must start from the concept of strengthening services. Tool companies must completely lose the stereotypes that have been developed over the past decades, and have the old habit of selling them, putting the needs of the manufacturing industry first. This kind of guiding ideology and development policy has been established. Even without a large amount of modern equipment, it can produce good products that users welcome. With this kind of guiding ideology, the waste of resources is shoddy, and the waste of talents will be greatly reduced. In recent years, China's tool industry has begun to emerge a number of scientific and technological private enterprises, which is the way to develop. Its growth rate exceeds the strength of state-owned enterprises, which deserves attention.
To solve the modernization problem, the tool industry is the most important thing to strengthen service awareness and improve service level. Its urgency far exceeds the improvement of equipment. We have had a lot of painful lessons. Some companies have introduced foreign advanced equipment at a big price, but the old concept has not changed. They still produce the same standard knives. The result is not welcomed by the market, and they lose the wife and the soldiers.
Promoting strengths and avoiding shortcomings Modern tool manufacturing industry in developed countries has undergone mergers, reorganizations and improvements since the 1980s, and has shown the characteristics of “high starting point, large investment, large-scale, internationalization” and centralized trend. The ten largest multinational tool groups, accounting for two-thirds of the international tool market. Compared with China's tool companies, there are big gaps in product development capability, process development capability, equipment development capability and marketing service level. It must be admitted that this gap cannot be caught up overnight. After all, the tool industry is a traditional industry, and the law of high-tech development is different. A lot of technology and experience depends on a long-term accumulation process. It took 20 years to create one or two companies in China that can compete with multinational tool groups. It is already the best expectation. The vast number of tool companies must seek truth from facts, and do not all use multinational groups as a model for development. The modernization path of most Chinese tool companies must set the development goals realistically. The development model of “big and complete” and “small but complete” will certainly not work. We must make up our minds to lose some areas, develop our characteristics, develop our strengths and avoid weaknesses, and take a small, specialized, small and refined road.
From the international experience, small and specialized are equally promising. In the international arena, apart from the top ten multinational tool companies, there are more than tens of thousands of companies engaged in the tool industry. They have found their own living space in development. It should be pointed out that the service field of tool technology is very broad, it can penetrate into all areas of manufacturing, and there is no obvious industry boundary. This creates a good development environment for small businesses with service characteristics. In the reform and development of China's tool industry in recent years, it has also begun to notice the problem of accurately positioning and selecting a reasonable development model according to its own conditions. Many large and medium-sized enterprises have abandoned the "big and complete" and "small but complete" development models and began to present their own characteristics. This is a very gratifying phenomenon. However, the proportion of featured products and services is not large enough, and the transformation speed is not fast enough. It shows that the sense of urgency is not strong and has not completely shaken off the influence of the traditional system, so the pace of reform must be accelerated.
Creating an orderly market environment Under the conditions of a market economy, an enterprise is the main body of competition, and it must be responsible for its own survival and development. Therefore, the current development of China's tool industry cannot meet the needs of the manufacturing industry. First, we must find the reasons from the enterprises themselves and come up with solutions. On the other hand, it must be noted that the development history of China's market economy is still very short. There are still many places in the market that are not standardized and imperfect, which affects the healthy development of enterprises. Sometimes this effect is still very serious. It is necessary to communicate with government and enterprises, reach a consensus, and the government will come forward to solve it. For example, for many years, it has hindered the healthy development of the tool industry, “vicious competition for inferior low-priced products” and “unfair investment orientation”. These two major issues are directly related to government behavior.
As mentioned earlier, China produces 40% of the world's tool materials, but the sales of manufactured goods are less than 6% of the world. This amazing waste of resources will be shocking to anyone. The waste of resources also creates vicious competition for inferior and low-priced products.
In the tool industry for many years, it has long been subject to “unfair investment orientation”. The phenomenon of "heavy mainframe, light supporting" is an institutional problem and should be corrected as soon as possible. The corrective solution is not to ask the government to reverse the "heavy accessories, light hosts", which is also a problem. Instead, I hope that the government will return the investment decision-making power to the enterprise, let the market determine the rational allocation of resources, and create a fair and competitive investment environment for the development of the parts industry including the tool industry.
