Four obstacles must be overcome before the head industry moves forward
With the continuous development of the national economy, the demand for heads in various industries has increased year by year. Domestic head products are not only used in general pressure vessels such as oil refining, chemical industry, transportation, food, environmental protection, household appliances, general purpose, but also have entered special fields such as nuclear power, aerospace, microelectronics, medicine, and began to enter the international market.
Driven by the market economy, all regions have established professional head manufacturing factories, and head manufacturing enterprises cover the whole country. In economically developed regions, professional head manufacturing centers have also been formed. However, most enterprises are still attached to the machinery manufacturing plant, which is a section or a workshop (branch). About 40% of the professional head manufacturing enterprises in China are state-owned and 60% are private.
With the development of the market, users have put forward higher requirements for the quality of the head products, and the market competition has become increasingly fierce. Some problems in the head industry have also been exposed:
Disordered market competition
Although the head industry has begun to enter the path of specialization, most of the head professional enterprises are private enterprises, and the reform is relatively lagging behind. The unsound market environment and inadequate supervision and management have led to a very few enterprises often resorting to unfair means of competition to fight a price war. This kind of competition makes it difficult to guarantee the quality, which not only harms users, but also sacrifices the interests of manufacturers and peers, and disturbs the market order.
Low efficiency of enterprises
At present, there are thousands of enterprises capable of producing head in the country, and nearly 200 professional head production plants. They are scattered in small scale and have simple equipment. Some enterprises even have more than 20 people. One oil press and one coal heating furnace can press head in a shed. In some areas, factories have been built repeatedly. For example, there are 5 to 6 head plants in Xinxiang area of Henan Province alone, and more than 30 head plants in East China. The concentration is only 30%, which can not form an economic scale. It is difficult to use high-level equipment, and the quality cannot be guaranteed. The production efficiency and economic benefits of head enterprises also differ greatly.
Unstable product quality
After the development in recent years, the quality of head products has been greatly improved, but due to the weak technical foundation, the concept that quality is the life of the enterprise has not been fully established, and the product quality is unstable, especially the internal quality is difficult to guarantee. Some enterprises also have poor production environment, serious soot pollution and high labor intensity, which have affected the image of enterprises.
Staff quality is not high
People are the most important component of social productivity. The optimization of enterprise organization, the establishment of advanced management system, the innovation of technology and products, and the improvement of product quality all depend on talents. At present, the quality of employees in the head manufacturing industry is generally not high, and a few enterprises even use some untrained migrant workers for stamping operations.
In addition, the enterprise management lags behind, the quality system is not sound enough, the production and operation network is not perfect enough, and the level of marketization is not high, all of which are urgent problems to be solved in the current head industry.
To change this situation, industry experts believe that more efforts must be made in the following aspects:
Specialization and innovation.
Only by specialization and forming a certain amount of batches can there be specialized personnel to study and conditions to adopt some high-level equipment, which is conducive to the continuous accumulation and innovation of process technology. While taking the road of specialization, we should also develop and innovate, become bigger and stronger, create brands and create highlights. Don't compete on the price of general carbon steel head, but work hard from special steel types, from chairs, special and different shapes, from non-standard products such as composite plates and improving quality, to develop new products and break new paths.
