As the main body of the national economy, manufacturing industry is the foundation of building a country, the instrument of rejuvenating the country and the foundation of strengthening the country. Since the founding of the people's Republic of China, China's manufacturing industry has made historic progress. In 2020, China's manufacturing industry achieved an added value of 26.6 trillion yuan, accounting for nearly 30% of the world's manufacturing industry. It has remained the world's largest manufacturing country for 11 consecutive years. According to the WTO's 2019 global value chain development report, China replaced Japan as the center of the Asian production network of the world's three major production networks in 2017 and became an important global supply chain hub.
Electric tools are one of the representatives of China's labor-intensive manufacturing industry and an important foundation of the real economy. After the continuous and rapid development since the reform and opening up, China's power tool industry has formed an independent and complete industrial system, and has become a real world power tool manufacturing and export trade champion. In 2020, the foreign trade export of hand-held electric tools made in China was nearly 320million, with an export volume of nearly 9.39 billion US dollars. Under the different division of labor of refinement, scale and specialization, China's electric tool industry relies on the mature division of labor supporting the regionalized organization of the Yangtze River Delta, which enables most enterprises to produce most of the world's electric tool products with the most economical cost structure and the most efficient, and has good performance and recognized brands. At present, the driving force and development mode of China's electric tool industry are undergoing profound adjustment and transformation, from the stage of high-speed growth to the stage of high-quality development.
In accordance with the requirements of the 19th CPC National Congress on cultivating a number of world-class advanced manufacturing industrial clusters, and giving full play to the fundamental role of the market and the leading role of the government, the power tool branch of China Electrical Appliance Industry Association has done a lot of work in strengthening the construction of power tool industrial clusters (industrial clusters / districts), aiming to build a reasonable spatial layout, strong scale, distinctive features, rich innovation elements, strong product competitiveness The development of upstream and downstream enterprises, networked cooperation and world-class advanced industrial clusters with a high level of opening to the outside world have promoted the whole series of products in the upstream and downstream of the electric tool industry chain from medium and low-end to medium and high-end. Among them, Yongkang City, Zhejiang Province, the "capital of China's electric tools", as one of the gathering places of China's electric tool industry, has done a lot of basic work in industry governance and quality control management in recent years, which has played a positive role in encouraging the regional electric tool industry to become bigger and stronger, and promoted the healthy growth of the regional characteristic economy of electric tools. Especially during the fight against the COVID-19, some leading enterprises that took the lead in realizing digital and intelligent transformation bucked the trend and turned crisis into opportunity.
The first national power tool industry quality conference and 2020 national spot check product quality analysis meeting of power tools were held in Yongkang, which is also the support and affirmation of industry organizations and colleagues for the industrial development in Yongkang.
Indeed, high-quality development is a major topic of common research in the whole society at present. Similarly, how to realize the transformation and upgrading in the electric tool industry and promote the overall high-quality development of the traditional manufacturing industry with the fire of salary is particularly important for the development of the industrial economy and even the national economy.
After the establishment of the power tool industry laboratory alliance in the Yangtze River Delta in 2019, key and characteristic laboratories in China's power tool industry have used their advantageous resources to jointly carry out research on common and key problems of industry testing technology and improve their joint research ability. The purpose is to better guide the industry to become a leader in quality and brand, and further promote the high-quality development of power tool manufacturing industry.
Focusing on building a "technology research base", "innovation practice base", "exchange and cooperation base" and "brand building base" in China's power tool testing industry, the laboratory alliance carries out research on power tool testing and certification technology, performance testing methods, leader comparison and evaluation methods, and capability verification technology, and develops common key testing technologies. Guided by the national power tool industry policy, pay attention to the quality and safety information of new power tool products, provide risk early warning and technical support, provide guidance and support for the industrialization development of power tool industry, actively explore and promote the innovation and practice of service methods among alliance units, and promote the development speed of industry industrialization.
With the 40 years of reform and opening up in China, the power tools made in China are showing their strength to the world with solid quality, and with their own strength, they are gradually moving forward to the power of power tool manufacturing in the world. Among them, the core is quality. What is quality? Quality is not equal to a single quality. The quality is the external evaluation and the standard of some objective standards. And quality is the internal pursuit of imagination, originality and vitality. The pursuit of quality requires the originality, independence, inheritance and openness of the enterprise and even the whole industry at the cultural level. Quality has two attributes. It is not only a high-end, high-quality, zero defect product, but also a high-quality enterprise. Around this goal, we should base ourselves on industry and win the respect and trust of the world and users through high-quality products and high-quality enterprises. The pursuit of quality is due to the needs of users and society; The needs of users and society are the biggest market of enterprises. Only when the quality philosophy of "zero defect" is deeply rooted in the cultural core of excellent enterprises and truly becomes the "chip" of enterprise business model, can quality leap into a brand.
China is the second largest economy in the world. As a country with a large population, it is also a developing country. Advanced manufacturing is the basic driving force for the prosperity of our country. The most prominent and important feature of advanced manufacturing is the high quality of products. However, we have to admit that there is still a gap between China's electric tool industry and the world's advanced countries in terms of brand building and innovation ability. Although the overall level continues to improve, some non-standard small and medium-sized enterprises cannot compete with formal enterprises because of their technical level, cost control and many other factors. In order to maximize profits, they do not hesitate to sacrifice their reputation to produce inferior tool products, and have not completely got rid of low quality At present, there are not many high-end and high-quality products in the industry.
The pursuit of profit and social responsibility of enterprises seem to be a pair of natural contradictions, but they are not. Within the range that the enterprise can bear, the more social responsibility it undertakes, the more respected it is, and the better its reputation is. A good product can make an enterprise establish a positive image. An enterprise with a positive image can naturally add confidence to the take-off of China's manufacturing industry again. Therefore, quality has become a solid foundation of industrial economy.
Therefore, how to realize the upgrading of tool products, the upgrading and development of the overall industrial chain and the pursuit of excellent quality from the structural change of the supply side is a major event that industry entrepreneurs need to face, think, act and realize.
At present, China's economy is gradually entering the "new normal", and consumer behavior is changing towards product refinement, intelligence, quality reliability and ultimate experience. With the continuous development of the international power tool market, electronic technology, control technology and artificial intelligence technology have been directly or indirectly connected to tool products. The integration of these high and new technologies involves the intersection of electronics, machinery, materials, computers, networks and other disciplines, which is very different from the previous simplified equipment. Under the layout of many new technologies, new elements and new characteristics, more manufacturing enterprises in the industry need to have the spirit of perseverance, then non-stop, and remove impetuousness and self challenge.
In the list of "power tool leaders" released during the first quality improvement conference, a number of excellent representatives of China's power tool manufacturing emerged. They continue to gather and promote China's power tool manufacturing to the middle and high-end, which brings far-reaching power for leadership, breakthrough and development. The power tools branch of China Electrical Appliance Industry Association has carried out a series of activities in four major industrial clusters, including Yongkang, Wuyi, Yuyao and Qidong, to promote the industrial characteristics and distribution of various regions to be more balanced and reasonable. Through a variety of carriers, it has achieved practical effects such as theoretical research of product display, competition and evaluation, and achievement transformation. Its purpose is also to take the road of "organization, standardization, and systematization" to promote the benign development of the industry, so that more capable and advantageous enterprises in the industry can provide high-quality products for the whole society and bear more and more effective social responsibilities at the same time. Of course, these works need multi-party coordination, which requires both government promotion and association guidance, as well as enterprise self-discipline and social supervision.
  Our strategic choice is to continue to do a good job in the manufacturing industry ". It can be said that this is an encouragement and spur for everyone in our real economy and manufacturing industry. I wish China's power tool manufacturing industry to do better and better with the active efforts and support of colleagues in the industry, realize the magnificent transformation from a power tool manufacturing country to a manufacturing power as soon as possible, and make unremitting efforts to realize the Chinese dream and the dream of a powerful country as soon as possible.
