Talking about the Development Strategy of Japanese Machine Tool

Toyo is the third country in the world behind the United States and Germany to start a third machine tool industry, manufacturing and industrialization.

In 1889, the establishment of the Toyo Iron and Steel Iron Works in the Toyo region started the production of the first machine tool, which was the embryonic stage of its machine tool industry. At this time, the government took the initiative to support the machine tool industry, and adopted the machine tool industry as a manufacturing industry in terms of guidelines and policies, as well as the focus of national economic development. In terms of strategy, it has successively proposed that the country is established through science and technology, and the country is established based on trade; in terms of tactics, it is based on the machine tool industry and progresses in the iron and steel industry, automobile industry, electric power industry, shipbuilding industry, electronics, and nuclear power generation industry. Since 1982, the strength of Toyo Machine Tool Industry has long been ranked first in the world. It has become a world-renowned machine tool industry, manufacturing and industrialization power.

In the 122 years from the establishment of Chiba in 1889, Dongyang Machine Tool Industry Co., Ltd. has undergone three major stages of technological progress: the first stage (1889-1955), which mainly produces manual ordinary machine tools. The second phase (from 1956 to 1976) is mainly the joint operation, such as the development of automobiles, bearings, and motors, and the production of a large number of highly efficient semi-automatic machine tools and semi-automatic lines. In 1974, the country had surpassed the United States with 6,700 semi-automatic lines. The third phase (1977-2011) mainly produces small and medium-sized semi-automatic digital control machine tools. Because of the high flexibility, the large semi-automatic line, and its wide range of applications, the need for a global digital control airport has skyrocketed. Its production exceeded that of the United States in 1978 (7,342 units for Toyo and 5,688 units for the United States).

Because the output of Toyo Digital Controlled Machine Tool leads the world, the output value of its machine tools began to rank first in the world in 1982 with US$3.79 billion exceeding West Germany (3.748 billion US dollars) and the United States (3.745 billion US dollars). Subsequently, the output of Toyo digitally controlled machine tools has grown rapidly. The output value of machine tools has risen every year, and it has remained until 2007, the year before the world economic crisis in 2008. Its airport output value has been ranked high in the world in 26 places.

In the above three major stages of Toyo, the machine tool industry has fluctuate with the momentum of changes at home and abroad, experienced many agitation, from which we can see that good policies, policies, strategies and tactics are of great importance to accelerate the progress of the machine tool industry.

The first stage:

(1) After the start of production of machine tools in 1889, Chibei started the Japanese and Russian wars in 1904. There are a large number of military-demand products that are in urgent need of machine tool production and supply, which has greatly stimulated the progress of the machine tool industry, manufacturing operations and industry in the East.

(2) The World War II (1914-1918) continued to break out. Europe and the United States were busy participating in the war. Toyo took the opportunity to progress the machine tool industry, and the order was busy. The number of factories surged and the strength of the machine tool industry increased. From 1914 to 1917, the number of workers and machine makers at Toyo Machine Tools doubled (from 2,160 to 4,695). Technically, it has been able to produce large-scale machine tools, semi-automatic lathes, and gear machines.

(3) In May 1934, the “Toyo Machine Tool Industry Association” was initiated by large companies such as Chiba, Niigata, Otsuka, and Karatsu, and mutual assistance was technically implemented. The government’s request and proposal were proposed. In April 1938, the Toyo government issued the "Machine Tool Manufacturing Business Act," which incorporated the machine tool industry into its policy and vigorously supported it. Preferential funds and taxes, and grant necessary financial subsidies. The number of machine tool companies progressed from 397 in 1932 to 1978 in 1938, and the total number of employees increased from 4100 to 63,000. Annual output of machine tools increased from 5,000 to 67,300 units. Because of the expansion of machine tool industry and manufacturing operations, Toyo launched the war of aggression against China (1937-1945). During the war of aggression against China, the machine tool industry produced military products and the number of employees surged to 126,000.

second stage:

In 1945, when the Toyo War broke out in China, there were 750,000 Taiwanese machine tools, half of which were used as compensation materials, and the production of post-war machine tools was limited to no more than 10,000 units. Because of the shortage of materials and materials, only a few thousand small machine tools were produced each year from 1945 to 1950. Then there are a few turning points.

(1) The Korean War broke out in 1950. Under the strong support of the United States, Toyo accepted orders from the United States for military supplies. Its machine tool industry took advantage of double the speed of progress. The machine tool output was 4,000 in 1950 and 18,000 in 1955, and it soared to 1 in 1960. Million units reached 256,000 units in 1970. In 1982, the machine tool output value ranked first in the world.

(2) During this period and later, the Toyo government further strengthened the upper tier and gang for the machine tool industry and used it as a key point in the progress of the machinery industry. It has also issued and issued three major decrees: the “machine vibration method”, the “electromechanical method”, and the “machine letter method”. To accelerate the progress of the machine tool industry, provide technical standards for machine tools, and enhance international competitiveness, it has reached a major, voting effect.

(3) The Toyo Government and 1958 clearly stipulated that from then on, the national machine tool ownership survey will be conducted once every five years, and an analysis will be carried out on the machine tool age (0 to 4, 5 to 9, 10 to 19, and 20 years or more). Detailed examination of the sub-file. Therefore, it is of great significance to understand the existing machine tool production capacity from top to bottom and from left to right, so as to understand the needs of the market, optimize the composition ratio of various types of machine tools, and increase the production capacity and industrial production capacity.

(4) Strengthen the "quality" control system, and lay a good foundation for the semi-automation of large-volume production in the second phase, and the progress of semi-automated digital control of the machine tools in the middle and small batches in the third phase. At the beginning of 1937, Toyo had the bottom line of industrial production and quality, and the remaining toss of “Toyo Goods”. In view of this, from 1940 to 1944, on the basis of studying the German Industrial Standard (DIN), the Toyo Industry Standard (JIS) was established. Beginning in 1940, the "Machine Tool Inspection Book" developed by Dr. Schlesinger of Germany was gradually adopted. With the advancement of technology, it is not only possible to check the static precision of machine tools, but also to check the operating precision. Because the government can afford quality and care, factory workers also consciously form a quality team to ensure the quality of the processes.

The third phase:

(1) The vision of 3C and the selection of talented personnel are implemented to greatly increase the progress of the machine tool industry, manufacturing operations and industry. In 1956, the Fujitsu company foresaw the advent of 3C (Communication Communication, Computer Computer, and Control System), selected rice leaves as the responsible person for the development of progress, and Ikeda as the head of computer development, and the two were responsible for their professional career for the rest of their lives. , started a world-class enterprise. The FANUC (FANUC) company, which is located on the top of rice leaves, is known for its digital control system. It has occupied 50 percent in the world market and 70 percent in the domestic market. It has made remarkable contributions to the progress of digital control machines worldwide. .

(2) FANUC's enterprise progress digital control system has good strategy and tactics. It has been leading in technology and has occupied the largest market share in the world. The upper level of rice leaf FANUC has its own concept of care and strategic tactics: 1 companies in the strong (research and development and financial strength) is not large; 2 sightings, decisive decision. From 1956 to 1974, during the past 18 years, Inaba had been working on the top technology team to solve the key technologies in the digital control of machine tools. At the hearing of the new US company Gette, the electrical servomotor was distributed and it was determined that this was a new trend in the future. First self-development, chance of defeat. Within three days, they voted to introduce American technology and complete the formalities. Since then, production and development, and continuous innovation have always been one of the technological trends in digital control systems. FANUC is always the world leader in technology. 3 FANUC has always been able to look at basic theoretical research and applied technology research and office, and its emergency joint, fully display the scientific research, development, innovation and utility, so that its digital control system technology has been leading the world. The company has a basic technology research institute, and will discuss and develop new technologies in the next 5 years and 10 years. Experts will gather talents, regardless of country, gender, or age, and will only use it, so that “three don’t ask” will be asked. "Results." Another strong commodity development workshop. Members account for 30 percent of the company's total staff. The main tasks are to investigate market needs, to accept research results from basic technology research institutes, and to develop new products. Requires three points, as everyone knows, strictly enforced. That is, new products have the fewest parts, the lowest cost, and the most reliable office. In the late 1980s, FANUC launched several semi-automated factories, which can use robots and digital control machine tools to implement digital control systems, robots, main beam motors, servo motors, turret digital control machines, and electric machine tools. Semi-automated production, all ranked in the world Chuanping. Because the production is semi-automated, the quality and productivity are greatly increased, and its digital control system technology is advanced, which has been leading the world technology trend.

(3) Toyo is not the same as the United States and Germany in the development of the strategy and tactics of digitally controlled machine tools. U.S. and Germany take the lead in the automotive, aviation industry, and first-class, high-end advanced digital control machine tools, with advanced technology and more expensive prices. Toyo, on the other hand, focuses on large-scale, medium-sized, and small-sized enterprises requiring high-quality, large-scale, digitally-controlled, digitally-controlled machine tools. It can capture the majority of the market, attract profits, and rank first in quality.

(4) Toyo is able to look at product development and innovation, but also can see the quality of production, quality of care, more than the United States, Germany, ranking first in the world. In addition to the long-term marketing strategy vision, Dongyang companies are also making micro-decisions. Daily attention should be paid to changes in international momentum, accumulating scientific research data, and depending on the market's direction and needs, investing quickly to advance technology, transforming technology into commodities, and taking the lead in broadening the occupation of the market.

(5) The supporting technology and basic components required by Toyo Digital Control Machine Tool Co., Ltd. are of excellent quality and first-class technology. The speed of product development at the market exceeds that of the United States and Germany. Its microelectronics, computer technology, communications network technology, digital control and control technology (3C), all rank first in the world. Surprisingly, it is the necessary components, hardware and software required for digital control, excellent technology, complete sets, and strong basic technology. Digital control system, various functional devices, electromechanical, liquid gas optical components, advanced cutting tools, surveying, and accessories. Precision bearings, axles, servo motors, etc. are all available. This is Toyo's farsightedness, strategy and tactics in the development of the world's future digital control machine tools, robot flexible manufacturing system (FMS), and semi-automated factory (FA). In 2010, at the JIMTOF, Dongyang's digital control machine tool exhibits were innovative, intelligent, and environmentally friendly, surpassing the United States and Germany, and ranking first in the world.

In general, Toyo can be among the top three in the world in terms of machine tool technology in the short term, 20 years behind machine tool technology, and tied with the U.S. and Germany as the three major powerhouses in the machine tool industry, manufacturing operations, and industrialization under the heavens. The key lies in its good strategy and tactics. To solve the three major elements of the progress in the production of human social patterns - people, tools, and resources. Toyo has advanced the development of cutting-edge advanced machine tools as a production tool, making the machine tool industry powerful and making progress in manufacturing operations and industry. Toyo is a small country with limited resources, making full use of the world's resources and doing everything possible to purchase from abroad, to meet the needs of progress. Throughout the process of solving energy problems, making full and reasonable use of resources, we have effectively demonstrated the effectiveness of the hero’s invention of tools and rational use of resources. Toyo can afford education, and the children foster "team spirits and spirits". The majority of companies practice the "tenure of life" for employees, nurture talents, accumulate skills, increase technology, and increase their strength. The government, enterprises, and units are all staffed by experts. They possess visionary insights, guide trends, solve all kinds of difficulties, overcome various kinds of difficulties, and make technical practices, production chains, and supply and sales links in social forms carefully. The fundamentals of industrial, manufacturing, industrialized countries. Modern advanced digital control machine tools consist of hardware and software. Hardware is the crystallization of materials, processes, and quality. Software is the crystallization of knowledge, logic, and wisdom. In the knowledge economy of the 21st century today, software and hardware must be world-class, relying solely on "knowledge." The people of Dongyang persist in studying hard, innovating constantly, using for enterprising, fighting fiercely, adopting good policies and strategic decisions, which is the key to their success.
