The equipment manufacturing industry is a strategic industry that provides technical equipment for various industries in the national economy. It has high industrial correlation, strong ability to absorb employment, and intensive technology funds. It is an important guarantee for industrial upgrading and technological advancement in various industries and a concentrated expression of national comprehensive strength.
   In the first quarter of this year, the lagging effect of the international financial crisis, such as the year-on-year decrease in new orders for equipment manufacturing enterprises in China, the signing of a single placement, and the lack of fund flow, are gradually being released. In order to actively and effectively respond to the crisis, the State Council released the "Adjustment and Revitalization Plan for Equipment Manufacturing Industry" (hereinafter referred to as the "Planning") in full text on May 12.
   From the "planning" content can be seen, the biggest bright spot is: while accelerating the development of a number of large-scale technology and equipment, at the same time for the first time put forward the concept of both primary and secondary development. "Planning" emphasizes that it is necessary to increase investment in technological transformation, enhance the ability of independent innovation of enterprises, and greatly increase the level of basic accessories and basic technology. Wu Yongbin, director of the China National Machinery Industry Federation’s major equipment office, interpreted: "This shows that China's equipment manufacturing industry has developed to a new stage where both host and auxiliary machines develop at the same time."
   Industry insiders believe that the publication of the “Plan†will not only help promote the development of major technical equipment and related parts and components industries, but also involve the implementation of revitalization plans for various industries such as electric power, petrochemicals, textile and non-ferrous metals, and development of related industries. Great advantage.
   Maintain growth and improve the structure of quality adjustment
   It is still a series of outstanding problems in view of the fact that China’s equipment manufacturing industry is large but not strong, its capacity for independent innovation is weak, its basic manufacturing level is lagging behind, its low-level redundant construction, and the promotion and application of its own innovative products are difficult. "Planning" proposes four basic principles: adherence to the combination of equipment autonomy and key construction projects, adherence to the combination of independent development and introduction of digestion and absorption, adherence to the development of the whole machine and improvement of the basic supporting level, and adherence to the development of enterprise groups and supporting professional a combination of companies.
   In addition to accelerating the development of a group of large enterprise groups with international competitiveness, the "Plan" proposes to develop a batch of specialized spare parts enterprises at the same time, that is, to encourage the host manufacturing enterprises to change from stand-alone manufacturing to system integration, and to guide the specialization of zero. Component manufacturers will develop in the direction of “specialty, refinement, and speciality†to form an industrial structure with complementary advantages and coordinated development. This is also a highlight of Planning.
   In the context of the financial crisis, how the equipment manufacturing industry has become bigger and stronger through mergers and reorganizations has always been the focus of intense debate in the industry. Experts believe that on the one hand, domestic enterprises should accelerate the pace of restructuring among their peers. Under the conditions permitting, they can also consider the integration of upstream and downstream industries; on the other hand, domestic companies should seize the opportunity of the financial crisis to test the water overseas. M & A, and this attempt is not blindly large-scale overseas bargain-hunting, but on the basis of full risk assessment, under the guidance of the existing strategic planning continue to explore.
   Under the guidance of the above principles, the “Planning†puts forward the main objectives of maintaining growth, expanding domestic demand, improving quality, and adjusting the structure: First, the industry achieves steady growth, providing guarantees for expanding domestic demand, transforming development methods, and ensuring stable growth of the national economy; The market share is gradually expanding, and the satisfaction rate of domestic equipment in the domestic market is stable at around 70%. Third, breakthroughs have been made in the development of major equipment, and a number of major equipment such as millions of kilowatts of nuclear power equipment have become autonomous; Fourth, the level of basic facilities has been improved, and special raw materials have been upgraded. Achieve key breakthroughs; Fifth, optimize and upgrade the organizational structure; Sixthly, the mode of growth has changed significantly. Strive for large-scale enterprise groups to account for more than 20% of the total sales revenue of modern manufacturing services.
   Relying on key projects to promote autonomy
   Focusing on the main objectives of maintaining growth, expanding domestic demand, improving quality, and adjusting structure, the “plan†proposes four main tasks, namely, relying on ten key areas of the project to revitalize the equipment manufacturing industry; seize the nine key industrial projects and implement equipment independence. Enhance the level of manufacturing of the four major supporting products and strengthen the foundation for industrial development; promote the seven key tasks and transform the mode of industrial development.
   The ten major areas mentioned here include: high-efficiency and clean power generation, UHV power transmission and transformation, coal and metal mining, natural gas pipeline transportation and liquefaction storage and transportation, high-speed railway construction, urban rail transit, agriculture and rural construction, and infrastructure. Construction, ecological environment and people's livelihood construction, major science and technology projects, etc.
   It can be seen that the major technical equipment market in related fields will undoubtedly be strongly driven. Some experts also worry that due to the relatively large number of projects involved, there will be sunshine and the problem of non-concentrating effects. The effective implementation of related projects also requires coordinated promotion among various departments.
   Compared with other industries, the adjustment and revitalization of the equipment manufacturing industry has its own advantages, that is, the implementation of other industry plans can drive the market demand and development of equipment.
   "Planning" clearly stated that it is necessary to seize the nine major industrial projects and implement equipment autonomy. First, relying on the steel industry to promote the autonomy of large-scale metallurgical complete sets of equipment. Second, relying on the automotive industry to realize the autonomy of the equipment needed for key components such as engines, transmissions, and new energy vehicles; Third, relying on the petrochemical industry to promote petrochemicals The independence of equipment; Fourth, relying on the shipbuilding industry to realize the autonomy of the equipment needed for the manufacture of marine diesel engines, crankshafts, thrusters, cabin equipment, deck machinery and other key components; Fifth, relying on light industry to advance the autonomy of light industrial machinery; Relying on the textile industry, promoting the autonomy of textile machinery; Seventh, relying on the non-ferrous metal industry to promote the autonomy of non-ferrous metallurgical equipment; Eighth, relying on the electronic information industry to advance the autonomy of electronic information equipment; Nineteen relying on the defense industry to promote the independence of defense military equipment We should give full play to the advantages of military technology and promote the integration of military and civilian.
   In addition, in enhancing the level of manufacturing of ancillary products and consolidating the basis for industrial development, the “Planning†proposes: To develop large-scale castings and forgings, basic components, processing aids and special raw materials. In advancing seven key tasks and transforming the mode of industrial development, the "Plan" mentioned: Accelerating the adjustment of industrial organization structure, enhancing the ability of independent innovation, increasing the level of specialized production, accelerating the improvement of product standards, using overseas resources and markets, and developing modern Manufacturing service industry, strengthen enterprise management and talent team building.
