In China's mechanical parts processing industry, small and medium-sized precision machinery parts processing plants account for more than 90% of the number of enterprises. However, most of them are faced with an uncertain development environment. Whether it is from external demand or their own situation, small and medium-sized mechanical parts processing plants have been particularly uncomfortable this year. Internal and external difficulties are the true portrayal of most small and medium-sized mechanical parts processing enterprises. However, for many small and medium-sized precision machine parts manufacturers, the fate of the company has indeed reached a moment of being forced to transform.
On the one hand, the export growth caused by Sino-US trade friction has slowed down, and the pressure on small and medium-sized mechanical parts processing enterprises that are mainly engaged in domestic exports has surged. This pressure is not only reflected in the increase in tariffs, but also includes the originally limited gross margin of mechanical parts processing and increasing labor costs. From January to October 2018, China's consumer goods industry export delivery value fell 2.1 percentage points compared with the same period of last year, the growth rate reported 4.5% year-on-year, and the growth rate was lower than 4.1% of all industries. On the other hand, domestic demand is also slowing down. In the past six months, the manufacturing PMI index has continued to decline.
However, the global economic slowdown, Sino-US trade frictions and domestic macroeconomics are not the main reasons for the difficulties faced by small and medium-sized precision machinery parts processing plants. More problems are in themselves. The times are on the side, these companies are still waiting for some original orders to live. If you visit some small and medium-sized mechanical parts processing enterprises located in the Pearl River Delta, you find that these precision mechanical parts processing plants have inherent defects in the operation process.
These mechanical parts processing companies generally lack talents. China's mechanical parts processing industry has only developed for 30 to 40 years. Whether it is in the accumulation of CNC parts processing technology or talent training, there is a gap compared with Western countries. There is a set of data to see the problem. In the manufacturing industry, the proportion of senior technicians in the Japanese workforce is 40%, Germany is as high as 50%, and China is only 5%. In the reality that the mechanical parts processing industry as a whole lacks talents, small and medium-sized precision mechanical parts processing plants are more affected, and this influence directly leads to the lack of innovation ability.
Secondly, it is not strict to control the production process of CNC parts. China's machinery parts processing enterprises have been developing in a mode of extensive growth for many years. In the industry's upward cycle, simply increasing investment, expanding factories and increasing labor input to increase production and income. However, in recent years, the external environment has begun to change, and the barriers to technology and models brought about by the scale effect of mechanical parts processing have become more apparent, while the small and medium-sized precision machine parts processing enterprises are becoming more and more strict environmental protection policies and increasing manpower. Under the influence of cost, the living conditions are worrying.
