In late October, I was invited by the Beijing Representative Office of the Taiwan Trade Center. I visited eight machine tool companies in Taichung and Taoyuan with the International Press Group. Their products involved gold cutting machine tools, forming machine tools, electric machine tools, abrasive tools. Wait.

Look at the leopard in the tube. Although there are not many companies visiting this time, and the scale, strength and product categories of the companies are different, we can still feel some characteristics of Taiwan's machine tool industry through visits and exchanges, and get some useful inspiration from them. The following summarizes, perhaps for domestic enterprises in the transformation and upgrading can learn from.

Industry chain complete professional division of labor and cooperation
It is understood that there are about 200 machine tool host enterprises in Taiwan, and there are said that there are nearly 10,000 supporting enterprises around these mainframe factories. All along, production area concentration, complete industrial chain, and professional division of labor have always been the advantage of Taiwan's machine tool industry. With high cost performance, Taiwan machine tools have a good reputation among users. As early as the mid-to-late 1990s, it was a clear test that Taiwan's machine tools were sold in the mainland market.

Through the exchange visit, the completeness of the Taiwan machine tool industry chain has left a deep impression. According to reports, in Taiwan, for the OEM, from the machine bed castings to a small hydraulic component, there are corresponding enterprises to provide supporting services, and even a certain key processing process has a corresponding professional factory. Collaboration is complete. At the scene of the visit, Gao Li Industrial Co., Ltd. pointed out that the thread of the mechanical spindle told the reporter that in order to ensure the quality of the thread, they had to invite professional processing enterprises to process, so as to ensure the high quality of the spindle to the utmost.

On the other hand, even in the second half of 2011, when the market began to decline, some enterprises are still pursuing large, complete, small and complete, still expanding their production facilities, expanding production scale and expanding product series. In a few years, the total market demand is obvious. The harsh reality of reducing and accelerating the upgrading of demand structure has given these companies a heavy blow and the business situation has become even worse.

Specialized division of labor and cooperation can greatly reduce management costs and internal consumption, and maximize the resistance to market risks. Taiwan's peer experience is worth learning.

Focus on core business to build core competitiveness of enterprises
Different from some companies in mainland China, the scale of Taiwanese enterprises is generally small, mostly family-owned enterprises. In terms of products, they usually focus on product development of two or three varieties, develop related products for target market demand, and continuously improve and improve. Product quality, some companies stand out from the crowd, in the current market environment, the business still maintains a good momentum of development. The Chengtai Machinery and Baide Machinery in the Taichung area visited this time are very representative in this respect.

Chengtai Machinery has long been committed to the research and development of turning-milling machine tools, and has its own unique technology in the development of NC intelligent, power turret and full-composite functions. The company has focused on key areas and deepened customer needs. Up to now, it has developed 30 series of 500-size turning and milling machine tools. The products have successfully entered the processing line of well-known automobile manufacturers such as Toyota in Japan, showing the strength of the company. .

Founded in 1991, Baide Machinery Co., Ltd. mainly produces Lijia, Lijia and five-axis machining centers. With its excellent quality, 60~70% of its products are sold to Europe, and there are currently 5 months in hand. Order, full of tasks. The company always puts quality, service and continuous design innovation in the first place, focusing its main focus on design, assembly, quality inspection and service, and the manufacturing process is more complete through supporting enterprises.

The strength of R&D strength determines the strength of the machine tool enterprise's competitiveness. According to reports, the proportion of R&D personnel of both Chengtai and Baide has reached more than 20%, and the R&D strength is strong. They rely on the numerous natural advantages of supporting enterprises in Taichung. Through continuous innovation, excellent core technology and strict quality assurance system, the products have finally won the recognition of users and fully embodies the product characteristics of “specialized special”.

Competition for the cooperation of M-Team Alliance to promote enterprise transformation and upgrading
There are many machine tool enterprises in Taiwan, and their group advantages are obvious. However, in the face of fierce competition from external international counterparts and the adverse factors such as rising internal raw materials and operating costs, some irrational competition will inevitably occur.

How to avoid low-end, homogenization competition, and price competition as value competition has long been a difficult problem for Taiwanese machine tool enterprises. The emergence of the M-Team Alliance gives the answer to some extent.

In 2006, with the assistance of the Taiwan Zhongwei Development Center, the “A-Team” operation mode of Taiwan's bicycle industry was followed, with Taichung Seiki and Yongjin Machinery as the core main engines, plus more than 20 cooperative factories, and jointly established Taiwan. A machine tool industry dual core team - M-Team. On April 22, 2011, the Alliance once again accepted three mainframe factories in Dongtai, Lichi and Baide, and expanded into five core teams and more than 40 cooperative factories (including: functional component manufacturers, spare parts manufacturers, processing enterprises). The official establishment of the "Taiwan Machine Tool M-Team Alliance".

It is understood that the M-Team Alliance is mainly to learn the spirit and connotation of TPS (Toyota Production System), to build a competitive product quality, delivery time, cost business model, through the release of regular internal OEM results The supporting research and development, collective education and training, and observation and learning of supporting factories will exchange experiences with each other, and encourage the members of the alliance to improve their ability to find and solve problems and achieve the goal of common improvement and development.

By promoting Lean Production and lean management, the M-Team Alliance achieved good results in “high quality, short delivery time” and attracted many peers to observe and learn. According to reports, the Taiwan M-Team Alliance not only attracted the interest of other Taiwanese manufacturers, but also established alliances of the same nature, and also attracted Japanese related industries to learn from them, to improve their processes, quality, reduce costs and increase product competitiveness.

Xie Ruimu, chairman of Paterson Machinery, once said: "The 'M-Team' alliance, this term and action is a pioneering work in the global machinery industry. It breaks the gap between peers and creates new ideas for mutual learning and learning. All benefit."

Returning to the source can go further
Today, China's economy has entered a new normal, and economic growth has slowed down. This slowdown is structural and not cyclical. The just-concluded Fifth Plenary Session of the 18th Central Committee will lower the economic growth target for the 13th Five-Year Plan period to 6.5%. From one aspect, it also illustrates the arduous and long-term nature of China's economic structural adjustment. In this context, the successful transformation of machine tool industry enterprises is also destined to be a difficult and long-term process. We need to calm down and return to the origin of machine tool manufacturing, and carefully sort out the road of future transformation and development.

The machine tool is a typical technology-intensive industry, which is difficult to copy and difficult to transfer, and requires long-term persistence and accumulation. As an industrial machine, machine tool manufacturing is different from general machine manufacturing, and it requires a "artisan" spirit to create a good machine tool. Machine tool workers must have a spirit of unremitting pursuit of quality, reliability, efficiency and other qualities.

The successful experience of some machine tool companies in Europe, America and Taiwan and Taiwan has provided a good reference for our transformation. In the face of the current severe economic situation, domestic enterprises should shift from the past thinking mode of manufacturing as the center of thinking, to the service-centered thinking mode, and adhere to the development path of “specialization, precision and speciality”. Market positioning and services to differentiate products, provide customers with a range of services to meet their needs, thereby increasing customer loyalty and trust, and ultimately create higher product added value. It is necessary to put people and funds in the right place by grasping management; to know how to slim down in time and to streamline their product chain; to fully mobilize employees' innovative spirit and sense of ownership through institutional reform; to set the standard direction, do not blindly follow. Only in this way can we go higher and go further!
