As the beginning of the “Twelfth Five-Year Plan”, what should the tool industry practitioners do and how to do it? Of course, this problem can be roughly found in the “Twelfth Five-Year Plan” of the machine tool industry that will be announced by the industry association. As the National Development and Reform Commission is still seeking the national’s recommendations for the “Twelfth Five-Year Plan”, it is necessary to develop the tool. It is still a long time before the planning of the sub-industry is made public and made public.

However, the Party Central Committee’s “Proposal for Formulating the Twelfth Five-Year Plan for National Economic and Social Development” has been announced. This “Guideline” is the general guideline for the formulation of the “Twelfth Five-Year Plan” for all walks of life including the cutting tool industry. There is no doubt. Therefore, according to this framework, it is worthwhile to look forward to the future development of the tool industry.

During the "12th Five-Year Plan" period, changing the mode of economic development will become the top priority for the development of various industries (including the tool industry). In recent years, the domestic tool industry is generally located in low-level, stereotyped mass production of standardized products, which has become a major obstacle to the rapid increase in the level of the tool industry.

With the eight-year golden development period of the Chinese machine tool industry, the cutting tool industry has achieved unprecedented development, and the output of many companies has greatly increased. However, this increase has not depended so much on technological progress, but mainly on the cheapness of our country. Labor based.

So, can such cheap labor be lasting? I recall that Xu Yangxing, the vice president and chief technology officer of Kennametal Metals many years ago, once discussed this issue. He believes that the main purpose of most people to work out is to seek a better life. In order to lead a good life, the increase in labor remuneration of workers is indispensable. When the laborer’s labor remuneration increases, if the labor productivity of the enterprise does not increase, the increase in the manufacturing cost becomes an inevitable result, and the market competitiveness of the product decreases.

“This road of development should not be the result we want.” Xu Yangxing pointed out that in order to control the manufacturing cost and product profit while the laborer’s labor remuneration is increasing, an alternative way is to increase manufacturing capacity and increase labor productivity. Make the company sustainable development.
