Industry 4.0 has set off waves in the world. This wave is considered to be a disruptive technological revolution that will completely change the world.
Industry 4.0, big data, cloud, artificial intelligence and other high-tech will change the world, and the manufacturing industry has also introduced Industry 4.0, hoping to realize the advantages of manufacturing core technology, become the first batch of people who eat crabs, and have the right to speak in the industry.
Why did Germany take the lead in proposing Industry 4.0
Germany is located in the middle continent of Europe, with a population of only 80 million. It participated in the Second World War, and many male laborers died in battle. The labor force does not have inherent advantages. In addition, German employees have excellent benefits, and the number of working days in a year is less than 200 days. The quality of the population High, but the aging population is the second largest in the world. Industrial growth must be achieved through labor saving. Automation and intelligence are an urgent need for development.
Germany's strong industrial base - winners of the Second Industrial Revolution
The first industrial revolution broke out in Britain marked by the steam engine, and Britain quickly became an empire on which the sun never sets. Germany, stimulated by threats, also worked hard to develop industry, and then accumulated science and technology.
By the time of the second industrial revolution, German industry was already at the forefront of the world. The second industrial revolution was marked by electromagnetism. The German Siemens invented the generator, and then quickly became the winner of the second industrial revolution. A veritable industrial powerhouse.
German technicians are of high quality - bred the kingdom of craftsmen
The German government attaches great importance to the training of skilled workers. The government system leads the training of talents, includes the training of technicians in the law, and improves the major links of talent training. A large number of high-quality talents are invested in industrial research and innovation, and more importantly, in ancient Europe, craftsmen came out in large numbers. Germany has inherited and developed this craftsman spirit of excellence and excellent quality requirements, creating batches of craftsmen talents to provide industrial innovation and creation. Strong intellectual support.
Made in Germany is a high-end manufacturing industry
Germans are keen on technology, and the manufacturing industry has a huge volume. The added value of manufacturing industry accounted for 22.3% of the total value added in all economic fields in Germany (2014). 80 million workers own more than 2,300 world brands. The automobile manufacturing industry is a model of high value-added manufacturing in Germany. Whether it is Audi, Mercedes-Benz, BMW, or Porsche, German cars are of high quality and high added value. Germany has a small population and does not have enough labor force to engage in low-end manufacturing, so high-end manufacturing is an inevitable choice.
Made in China VS Made in Germany: Germany is not advanced in China, but Germany has problems in China
It's just that China doesn't have these. The industry started late, there is a shortage of high-end talents engaged in manufacturing, and the industrial development is still in the 1.0 or 2.0 stage. At the same time, there are problems of labor shortage and aging, similar to Germany. We don't have the advanced industrial development in Germany, and we have the aging population and labor shortage in Germany.
Ren Zhengfei: Industry 4.0 is too early for Huawei..."
Ren Zhengfei's evaluation of Industry 4.0 Ren Zhengfei said in an internal meeting, "At present, we mainly do a solid job in 2.0, and then find a way to do a good job in 3.0. 4.0 is too early for Huawei...".
Lean production consulting company: Weak manufacturing management foundation, so ambitious
In the process of engaging in business consulting services, I found that most Chinese manufacturing companies need to do the basic homework well, such as on-site 5S, material matching, quality abnormalities, employee skill education, etc... ".
Telling most Chinese enterprises, especially small and medium-sized enterprises, about Industry 4.0 is as ridiculous as telling a toddler how to fly a plane to the sky. Moreover, most of the "experts" who talk about Industry 4.0 are drawing cakes for enterprises. As for how to realize this cake, it seems that they have nothing to do with him. (How to land, what to do in the first step, how much the company needs to spend)
How to develop the manufacturing industry: do a good job of the foundation, otherwise the manipulator and conveyor belt are toys
If Ren Zhengfei believes that it is still too early for Huawei to achieve 4.0, then other companies should honestly do a good job of basic skills in internal management. Otherwise, Industry 4.0 will become a game of installing a few robots, a few conveyor belts, an ERP and a scanning system. Not only will it be impossible for the enterprise to fly, but it will only be a shackle for the enterprise.
picture
The biggest problem in the management of Chinese private enterprises is that they never want to put in the effort to do the basic homework well, and always want to take shortcuts in management and achieve it overnight. In fact, it is not difficult for small and medium-sized enterprises to manage well and operate efficiently. They only need to determine the functional responsibilities of each person, do what they should do every day, and do the basic work on site to the extreme. Toyota Japan It is just an example. The equipment has been used for decades, and it can continue to maintain profitability for 60 years, and it has become the most profitable in the automotive industry. It is worth learning.
Let go of petty profits, stick to it pragmatically and steadfastly, do it well, do it well, do it thoroughly, start from the basics, step by step is the way to development and sustainable management, cheer for China's manufacturing, and work hard for the realization of a manufacturing power.
