With the development of China’s machine tool industry gold eight years , the tool industry has been an unprecedented development, a substantial increase in production for many companies , but this increase did not have much to rely on technological progress , but mainly in our country cheap labor-based .

So, this cheap labor can not last? I remember years ago when he was vice president of Kennametal global CTO Xu Xing Yang had discussed this issue. He believes that the main purpose of the majority of people out of work , is to seek to live a better life . And to live a better life and improve labor remuneration of workers is indispensable . When the labor remuneration of workers increased, if the business does not improve labor productivity , then increase the manufacturing cost has become an inevitable result , the market competitiveness of products is relatively decreased .

“The results of this development should not be the way we want .” Xu Xing Yang pointed out that to control the labor remuneration of workers while improving good manufacturing costs and product margins , an optional way to increase manufacturing capacity, improve labor productivity, enable enterprises to sustainable development.

Of course, the transformation of economic development than just one aspect of improving labor productivity .

First, the transformation of economic development mode of the first basic requirement is to uphold the strategic adjustment of economic structure, accelerate the transformation of the main direction of economic development . For this ” proposal ” put forward to enhance the core competitiveness of the manufacturing sector , the development of strategic emerging industries, accelerate the development of services and other specific measures . So, how in the tool industry practice this measure? The answer is much easier said than done much that is provided from a single product model, to provide customers with technical solutions from prenatal to postpartum , economic analysis, research bottlenecks , optimize production processes and a series of solutions a full range of products plus services model transformation tool industry will fight the advanced manufacturing industry in both the second , third and modern service industry new industry model .

Secondly, the transformation of economic development mode of the second basic requirement is that adhere to scientific and technological progress and innovation to accelerate the transformation of economic development as an important support . ” Proposal” Implementing the Strategy and depth of this strategy , the first full play to science and technology resources, productivity and talent first role in enhancing the capability of independent innovation , strengthen innovation and talent , and promote the development of major scientific and technological progress , improving the quality of workers to innovation in management , accelerate the specific requirements of building an innovation -oriented country .

From the tool industry, improve the innovation ability is undoubtedly very necessary. Over the years, most of the cutting tool products or standard products consistent system for decades , such as the overwhelming standard HSS twist drill ; either copy the maturity of foreign products , such as lack of product innovation , and the lack of homogeneity of the characteristics , so competitiveness of their products are naturally more worse. However, the transformation of economic development industry to catch up and exceed international standards , the development of innovative products is an inevitable requirement. Without innovation, we can only become a market follower, but missed becoming the market leader. And to have this ability to innovate, improve the quality and level of our management staff , technicians and operators is also very necessary . For many practitioners lack of innovative ideas and innovative approaches features tool industry in recent years , industry associations began to organize the design and manufacture of modern training tool , and included in the national “professional engineering and technical personnel to update their knowledge ” ( ie, ” 653 Project ” ) , in order to cultivate a group of tool industry development needs in line with industry professionals .

Again, another basic requirement for the transformation of economic development mode is adhere to building a resource -saving and environment-friendly society to accelerate the transformation of economic development as an important focal point . The idea is to save resources and thoroughly implement the basic national policy of environmental protection , energy conservation and reduce greenhouse gas emissions intensity , the development of recycling economy , the promotion of low-carbon technologies , and actively respond to climate change , promote economic and social development and population, resources and the environment , the path of sustainable development road, while energy conservation is still an important part , and will continue as a quantitative binding targets . The tool industry, which is an important strategic direction. The tool is tungsten, cobalt, titanium and other resource consumption of a large industry , how to reduce the consumption of these resources throughout the life cycle of the tool in the tool to reduce carbon emissions throughout the life cycle , and how to build low-cost, high- capacity tool industry , is worth pondering.
