Cost-effective or can become a breakthrough in manufacturing in China

The high added value is mainly due to the high stability and high quality of the product. In China, many products are excellent in laboratory and trial production. Once they enter the stage of large-scale industrialization, the quality of products becomes unstable and the reliability is low. This is a big Chinese manufacturing. problem.

High value-added success secret

German technicians try to make every product as a craft, so even if one product needs to be completed by the machine and the other part is done manually, the stability is still very high. In the Germans' view, once the mechanical products are shut down due to quality problems, it will affect the production efficiency of the whole factory. For this reason, the German-made products are basically durable and durable. There is no problem in working 24 hours a day, and the product life is also good. very long.

If the customer is faced with a cheap but only three-year product and a German product that can be used without interruption or error for 10 years, even if the latter is expensive, it is likely to still be selected.

Germany's sound intellectual property protection regulations also encourage German companies to continuously invest in new product development and design. The consensus of German companies is that they must continue to invest and accumulate processes, and maintain the tradition of doing business diligently.

Seeing the development of workers from the perspective of process management

Looking at the comparison of Sino-German process management from the example of the machine tool industry, you will find many details. The machine tool manufacturing company in Germany is a production line, and the machine tool is moving. Machine tools are custom-made products. There is usually a manufacturing process sheet in the company, which is placed on the machine tool in a conspicuous place to clarify the work tasks of each person. The production site is very neat and clean, and the responsible workers will place the parts that need to be used the next day on the first night. The tools are placed in a sorted manner, and a special person checks the usage of the parts.

In China, in addition to large enterprises, there are still many small and medium-sized enterprises that cannot do assembly line production, and the machine tools are not moving. The production methods of many Chinese manufacturing companies are still workshop-style. The description of the operating instructions is also unclear. When a machine tool leaves the factory and how much work time is required, it is not completely planned. When the parts were needed, they were taken at the time, and the tools were not standardized. Sometimes the division of finished and semi-finished warehouses was not very clear. The gap between these details is currently present in all major, medium and small enterprises.

Even small German family businesses, such as doors and windows and hinges, are highly automated. China's small manufacturing companies still use more labor to replace machines, and it is not surprising that product quality and quality stability are not up to high standards.

Chinese manufacturing also has advantages

German companies are mainly engaged in high-quality products, so they are weak in research and development of cost-effective products. And this is what China is good at, so in some emerging market countries, when German companies compete with Chinese companies, they will expose this weakness. German companies themselves think this is a challenge. They want to make some changes but it is difficult, because the cost structure and design concept determine the final price of the product, so now they basically adopt the acquisition method to be the second brand, such as Schneider's acquisition of Delixi.

Chinese companies can take this opportunity to start with cost-effective products and find their own sunshine in the huge shadow of German manufacturing. Taking the road of "high value-added" is of course the ultimate goal, so Chinese companies must also recognize their own advantages and seek opportunities to consolidate and enhance them from the market.

Finally, the complete industrial chain is also a successful experience in manufacturing in Germany. Many of China's enterprises have serious hollow core components and can only be assembled factories. Nowadays, many companies have begun to enter Europe, and they all hope to complete the industrial chain through the platform of European companies. This is also the next step in China's manufacturing.
