Three weaknesses in China's manufacturing industry in the big data age

With China's manufacturing industry playing a more and more important role in the global manufacturing industry, how to maintain the sustainable development of China's manufacturing industry, how to make rational resource allocation and use on a global scale, how to design, purchase, manufacture, sell and provide services, so as to maximize profit? It has become an urgent issue to find the globalization strategy and operation mode suitable for the development of enterprises.

The reporter was informed that the second Global Operations Summit, held on October 17 on the theme "The future of China's intellectual industry", host Infante invited from enterprises and academics, on the intelligent logistics, the large data age of manufacturing opportunities and challenges, the upgrading of enterprise operations strategy, supply chain service innovation and other aspects of discussions and exchanges.

Three weaknesses of China's manufacturing industry

While most local companies are pursuing economies of scale and technology worship, management can easily be overlooked, and the problem becomes particularly acute as corporate growth slows.

"The problem with manufacturing in China is big and not strong. "Professor Lu Wei, deputy Dean of Aetna School of Economics and Management, Shanghai Jiaotong University," said some leaders of the world's manufacturing industry reflect that China's manufacturing industry has three major weaknesses: one is that the core technology relies on foreign countries, the other is the lack of global integration of resources and operation capacity, the third is the Access system and service system is still weak. These fall to a point, is the problem of operation. ”

In this respect, Lu Wei stressed that "at present, China's manufacturing industry is facing transformation, the urgent need to solve is the technology upgrade and management upgrade." In addition to the lack of core technical personnel, but also lack of familiar with the global business operations and management personnel. ”

As the transformation and upgrading of manufacturing industry is a long-term process, in this process, emerging technologies and new industries will always play a leading role in the transformation and upgrading of traditional industries as an important engine. Looking to the future, the important trend of technology development is the fusion and collaborative innovation of High-tech and new technology, novel process and material. With the rise of 3D printing technology, artificial intelligence, industrial robots combined with digital manufacturing technology and intelligent technology, the global consensus that these technologies are an important opportunity to promote a new round of industrial revolution.

A number of experts have told reporters that the future of China needs to firmly grasp the direction of technological progress and innovation, through the establishment of a number of technical cooperation and innovation of the new mechanism to enhance the overall development of the manufacturing industry and quality, and for the future development of manufacturing industry to plan a new technology path and operating mode.

Special education makes up for the vacancy of talents

In the background of China's technological progress, the innovation of entrepreneurial environment, innovation mechanism system and the cultivation of creative talents are also undergoing positive changes, highlighting the important role of talent strategy in the long-term strategy of industrial transformation and upgrading.

In the 80 's, a group of manufacturing enterprises, represented by Japanese automobiles, brought unprecedented pressure to the American domestic manufacturing industry. In the 1998, large U.S. manufacturing companies, led by Motorola, General Motors (Motors), Boeing (Boeing), United Technology Group (UTC) and Hewlett-Packard (HP), joined together to fund the MIT ( MIT) seeks educational cooperation in engineering and management. Soon, the MIT Sloan School of Business teamed up with the Engineering Academy's 8 majors to set up a manufacturing leadership project (leadersformanufacturing, abbreviated as LFM). 2009, the LFM Project was renamed LGO (leadersforglobaloperations) project.

Since the founding of the LGO project, more than 1000 talented people have been trained in American manufacturing, including executives of global leaders such as Patshanahan, global vice president of Boeing Commercial Aircraft division, and Apple Global research and development President Dongfield.

In the Asian market, China has increasingly highlighted its global role as a "world factory" around 2000. "More and more multinational companies entering the Chinese market, whether production or sales, are in urgent need of a large number of ' understand China ', ' understand technology ', ' understand the management ' of the local high-end talent. "Chen Xiaorong, an associate professor of Clgo program at the Aetna School of Management, Shanghai Jiaotong University, said that, as in the United States, China desperately needed high-end local manufacturing and operating talent to provide solutions to multinational companies and even local companies entering China."

Therefore, 2006 Shanghai Jiao Tong University and MIT to establish China's Manufacturing Leadership Project (chinaleadersformanufacturing, referred to as CLFM) emerged. 2010, in compliance with the Mitlgo project reform, the CLFM project was renamed Clgo Project. As the first interdisciplinary, dual Master's degree project (MBA and Engineering Master), the Clgo project uses the MITLGO project model to get through the barriers between management discipline and engineering disciplines, and to unite multinational companies and industry leading companies to develop local high-end talent focused on manufacturing and operations management.

Opportunities and challenges in the age of large data

Science and technology are progressing and the times are changing, and the 21st century China and the United States of the last century are not fully replicated. With the rise of the internet, supply chain, logistics, operation is more and more attention of enterprises. Large data (Bigdata) is undoubtedly one of the most high-profile technologies that will affect the development of various industries in the future. IDC's research shows that by 2015, the outlook for large data markets will reach $16.9 billion trillion.

In the interview, industry experts told reporters that the strategic significance of large data technology is not in the grasp of large data information, but in these meaningful data for specialization. In other words, if the big data is compared to an industry, then the key to profitability is to improve the "processing capacity" of the data, "processing" to achieve the "value-added" of the data. Therefore, Aetna International senior management training courses from large data, standing in the forefront of large data, make full use of mobile Internet tools, and integrate large data supply chain to meet the needs of innovative enterprises.
