There are three possible ways for China's manufacturing industry to overtake the United States, Japan, and Germany (1)Enterprise management:Implementing lean production management and ERP management information systems in factories, and striving to improve the level of enterprise management (2) Industry 4.0: relying on the "Made in China 2025 Strategy", implement Industry 4.0 to realize industrial upgrading and transformation (3) "Internet +": through the "Internet + " and "mass entrepreneurship, innovation", the implementation of business interconnection and resource integration, to enhance the level of management and competitiveness

① kind of way enterprise management in this regard, the last decade or so entrepreneurs are very important to this piece, but now there is not too much potential to be tapped. Enterprise management is mainly lean production and enterprise management information technology, lean production we can not win Japan, enterprise management information technology we can not win the United States, enterprise management is now Japan's strongest, followed by the United States. So business management is still very important, but China's future manufacturing hopes than the United States and Japan are not in the business management of this road

② the second way Industry 4.0 This, Germany, the United States, Japan, China are rushing forward, but playing Industry 4.0 is the need for capital and foundation, the starting line must be Industry 3.0, China only a small number of enterprises in this starting line, most of the enterprises from the starting line is still many years away, and the majority of the company has a lot of time. Most enterprises are still many years away from the starting line. Therefore, Industry 4.0 this piece of Germany ran in the forefront, China's recent 10 years not to be Germany, the United States dumped farther away from the lucky, talk about a lot of opportunities to go beyond

③The third way of "Internet + Manufacturing", the relative "short and fast! ", China does not have a huge historical burden, and after a few years of consumer Internet development, a variety of infrastructure and environment in the world is also a leader, compared to Germany's Internet market is too small, Japan's entrepreneurial awareness of the conservative and other inherent shortcomings of China's Internet has been in a very good runway, although it seems that the United States has now been running in the Internet Although it seems that the United States has been running in the Internet position, but because of China's inherent advantages and the government's vigorous promotion, in the industrial Internet this piece beyond the United States, leading the world is entirely possible.

(ii) the Internet can really help factories to significantly improve the management level of enterprise people, machines and things

So, the Internet is very magical and powerful, can help Chinese enterprises "shorten the downtime of the equipment, the level of on-site management to rise, the quality of the bad to reduce the elimination of safety hazards, the cost of production to decline " 呢？ Factory management of several basic objects, nothing more than "people, machines, materials", the role of the Internet on the management of the machine is beyond doubt (Industry 4.0 and Industrial Internet has a lot to do with the management of the machine), I'll be from the management of the material and the management of the person from two perspectives, respectively, to give two examples to illustrate how China's enterprise management through the "Internet +" to realize the curved road to overtake

(1) First of all, from the management of materials, to give a specific example of "how to reduce the enterprise maintenance spare parts inventory?" , according to statistics, the factory maintenance costs more than a trillion dollars a year spent, of which the cost of maintenance spare parts accounted for more than about 60%, so the inventory of maintenance spare parts for many enterprises is a large amount of capital consumption, due to the maintenance spare parts in the enterprise's utilization efficiency is very low, a lot of factories have a large number of years of unused backlog of spare parts, spare parts management in the factory is a comparative headache. We can look at the three ideas of "Japan's Lean Manufacturing", "Industry 4.0" and "Internet + Manufacturing" to see if that program is better?

①The idea of lean production: according to the Japanese thinking, spare parts inventory reduction, belongs to the category of lean production, so do a good job of TPM management, do a good job of daily and regular inspection of the equipment, in advance to know when the spare parts need to be replaced is very necessary. Various TPM activities and fine management of spare parts accounts are very important, which requires a large amount of management manpower and good employee quality (accurate record keeping and careful inspection). Because this approach is human-dependent, the effect is limited, and the successful implementation of this approach may be able to reduce the factory's spare parts inventory by 10-15% at most

②Industry 4.0 thinking: For the Japanese TPM thinking that relies on human beings mentioned above, the Americans or the Germans may prefer to adopt the thinking of relying on the machine, and so, install a lot of sensors on the machine to track the life of spare parts, and buy the expensive machine, and then install a lot of sensors on the machine. As a result, many sensors are installed on machines to track the service life of spare parts, expensive IBM Intelligent Maintenance System is purchased, and many so-called big data are used to predict the replacement time of spare parts to control the inventory of spare parts. Because the spare parts life and equipment failure prediction itself is not too, therefore, the effect will not be too ideal, invest a lot of money, at most, can only be the factory's spare parts inventory down 15-20%

③ "Internet + Manufacturing" thinking: the Internet to solve the problem of spare parts inventory, Japan, Germany, the United States, there is no good experience, fortunately, China is in the process of developing a new system to control spare parts inventory. experience, fortunately, China is carrying out "mass entrepreneurship, mass innovation", some people are using the Internet thinking to figure out this matter. The Internet startup company "Jinku" came up with a solution: "To engage in TPM, our workers and maintenance personnel are not qualified enough; to engage in intelligent maintenance, our factories do not have the money. ok, we use the Internet thinking to engage in spare parts management, you can use the method of connecting even to solve the spare parts inventory problem. You can use the Internet to connect the factory's spare parts warehouse", with Uber *** enjoy the economy of ideas to make the factory *** enjoy the spare parts inventory, any enterprise equipment failure, if there is no spare parts in the library, we can through the "Jieku" system like a drop car as very convenient to the surrounding We can easily deliver the same spare parts to the surrounding factories in 2 hours through the logistics of the "Pooling" system like a dropshipping. As the delivery time is greatly shortened, so the factory does not need a lot of spare parts inventory. This method, the enterprise does not have too much investment ("Jinku" software is free), for the management quality of personnel is not too high requirements, with the "Jinku" idea, you can make the factory spare parts inventory reduction of 30-40%, the effect of Japan and Europe and the United States enterprise The effect is 2 times that of Japanese and European and American companies.

(2) Next, we will talk about how to use the "Internet +" method to improve the management level of the factory to the people in the management of the enterprise

In the past few years, I have been thinking about how Chinese factories can surpass the level of management of Japanese factories. It is widely believed that the poor quality of Chinese workers, who do not comply with rules and regulations, and the low management level of grassroots managers are the major reasons why it is difficult to improve the management level of Chinese factories. However, the advent of the Internet era, we use some of the Internet technology, so that China's manufacturing management level beyond Japan has a chance to bend the curve

Japanese factory management is more bull B's strengths are two: one is the site of the "visualization management", the other is the first-line shift supervisor's higher skills

①You go to the site of Japanese enterprises can see a large number of Kanban, a lot of morning meetings every day, most of the managers walk around the site to supervise and inspect (Chinese managers can not do), this is the Japanese people often hanging on the lips of the "visualization management" "visible management" rely on human supervision, visualization can only cover a part of the mobile Internet visualization can cover the whole process, and is intelligent)

I have been observing the factory site for more than two years, I think a lot of management problems in enterprise management (equipment is not serious inspection, quality is not according to the requirements of the record, sleep on the night shift, talking while working, IE improvement skills are insufficient, etc.) can be improved using some mobile Internet tools Such as wearable, Bluetooth, beancon, QR code and other relatively low-cost management improvement

Assuming that we give the front-line employees of the overalls, helmets, shoes, gloves and work tools are with wearable intelligent hardware, as can record every employee's behavior, then employees do not abide by the rules and regulations of the behavior can be controlled better than the most powerful Japanese lean production companies;; for example, on-site workers in specific work occasions, such as the work of the workers in the workplace, the quality of the equipment, talk while working, IE improvement skills are not enough. For example, on-site workers need to wear helmets, protective goggles in specific work occasions, many factory operators are leaders in the previous time to wear, the leader left when not wearing, if helmets, protective gloves can be recorded employee use records and timely reminder of the employees and managers, then the employee's safety behavior will be easy to manage

② For example, the Japanese factory is another B of the cattle place, is the first-line shift supervisors are skilled IE improvement skills (skills no less than Chinese IE engineers), very skillful measurement of the beat and engineering improvement, but it does not matter, in the era of the mobile Internet, if the workers wear wearable work shoes with pedometer function and can sense the wrist movement of the overall work clothes, with the appropriate App calculation, all of the process of intelligent analysis of the action of the App can be put to the Japanese enterprises for many years to accumulate the advantage of the shift supervisor skills.

Whether it's human management, material management, or machine management, if China can apply the results of mobile Internet technology to factory management as soon as possible, it's possible that China's manufacturing management level can be raised to a level that doesn't require significant investment (because some wearable work items and apps aren't that expensive, perhaps less than a few thousand dollars per capita, which every small and medium-sized enterprise can afford). Small and medium-sized enterprises can afford), to catch up with foreign advanced management level. Now most people in China put their hopes on Industry 4.0 to improve the competitiveness of the manufacturing industry, and I personally believe that enterprises with a high level of internationalization, such as Haier and Gree, can take the road of Industry 4.0, and for most of the manufacturing enterprises that are currently in operational difficulties, applying the scientific and technological achievements of the mobile Internet to the management of factories as soon as possible is a realistic road to effectively reduce the cost of manufacturing and improve the level of enterprise management. " is coming

China can use its advantage in the Internet to improve China's manufacturing management up to realize the bend, but need the whole society to participate

①Business management experts: in addition to research focus on "lean production" "6 Sigma" in addition to the new era should also consider studying the "Internet + enterprise management" new management ideas, under the new ideas will produce epoch-making enterprise management theory beyond lean production

② factory operators and professional managers: to try and support the "library" "factory wearable" Internet startups products, the use of appropriate, or even do an angel investor to support such projects, enjoy the development of the Internet's economic results

③ Local government : Especially Wuxi, Suzhou, such areas with certain industrial advantages, the development of "Internet +" can not only focus on "intelligent manufacturing" and "intelligent hardware", the development of intelligent manufacturing than the The development of smart manufacturing in Shanghai Lingang, the development of smart hardware than Shenzhen, facing the factory "production, quality, cost" and other management of "Internet + Manufacturing" innovation project is these areas may rise in the Internet industry is an important breakthrough

4 entrepreneurs VCs are mostly inexperienced in the manufacturing industry, and most VCs don't know about the Internet entrepreneurial opportunities in the manufacturing industry (the ones that VCs can understand may be in SAAS, e-commerce, etc.) As long as they have a deeper understanding of the needs of the manufacturing industry, more entrepreneurial opportunities will be in front of them

5VC Venture Capitalists: In the "mass entrepreneurship, national innovation" innovation project, these areas may be an important breakthrough for the rise of the Internet industry. In this movement of "mass entrepreneurship, innovation for all", VC plays a key role as a wind vane. In the future, shouldn't we consider how to utilize our own resources to focus on supporting those Internet projects that are beneficial to the manufacturing industry, so as to turn the enthusiasm of the whole population for entrepreneurship into the competitiveness enhancement of the country's manufacturing industry?
