Machine tool industry needs to strengthen the development of high-grade machine tools

Although the development momentum of the Chinese machine tool industry has been strong for many years, the gap between it and the machine tool manufacturing powerhouses is still great. It takes great efforts and great efforts to close the gap.

First, only satisfied with "can do" and ignore "doing well"

With regard to the achievements made by China's machine tool industry, we acknowledge on the one hand that compared to the past, we can now do many things that we could not do in the past. Here we mainly refer to some high-end products. However, on the other hand, we must also recognize that the high-end products we have made are not very effective in achieving good application results among users. Even a certain market size is rare, and quite a few products still only remain There is a big gap between "doing well" and "making features" at this initial stage.

This situation is not a problem in itself, because it is a stage of development that we must go through. The problem is that we cannot just be satisfied with this stage, and even stop at this stage for a long time. The industry has learned many lessons in this area in the past and these performances are still quite a few. For example, doing a prototype may sometimes be unrealistically propaganda, breaking the monopoly, breaking the blockade, and reaching the international advanced level. The result was the identification of awards, the successful completion of the results, the shelving of preliminary results, and the eagerness to devote attention and resources to new and more “fashionable” projects.

For this status quo in the machine tool industry, it is necessary to realize the essential leap from “can do” to “do it well”. In fact, the difference between "can do" and "do a good job" is not the quantity difference but the essential difference. We must understand the problem in this way, because only in this way can we attract sufficient attention and invest enough attention and resources to realize this leap.

Second, we tend to “make the world” and break away from the reality. With the rapid development of industry and enterprises, the continuous expansion of economic scale and the improvement of innovation capabilities have also greatly enhanced the pride and self-confidence of industry enterprises. Therefore, “want to do everything.” There is a varying degree of performance to be able to do "this kind of "big world" tendency. Under the guidance of this ideological tendency, some industries and enterprises have adopted four-faced attacks, resulting in fragmented resources. Not only has the new direction not been successfully achieved, but the original advantages have also been weakened to some extent.

It should be said that this has always been a trend of positive development. However, the problem lies in grasping the degree of expansion, grasping the scope and speed of expansion, following the law, attaching importance to the foundation, and avoiding weaknesses, and must not be separated from reality. We must be clear that corporate resources are limited and their own advantages are also limited. Limited resources can only be used for limited goals, and they should be goals that have their own relative advantages.

Therefore, it is necessary to overcome the irritated feelings and make some achievements. We must learn from the successful experience that companies in the industry have already created, and on the basis of a rational analysis of our own strengths and development potentials, we must select the market direction that focuses on breakthroughs and focus on Resources, focus on goals, intensive cultivation, adhere to long-term unremitting efforts.

In short, the challenges facing the development of China's machine tool industry require companies to have the correct understanding, attitudes and methods, and to adapt to the new characteristics of market demand, structural upgrades, and new changes in the development environment, while accelerating the fundamental transformation of development methods, only Only in this way can we continue to enhance the overall quality of the company itself and the development path of a powerful machine tool industry in China.
