Second, benchmarking enterprises should take the lead in exploring and practicing
Since the British Industrial Revolution in the 17th century, modern industrial civilization has been promoting the process of world industry. The United States, Germany, Japan and other countries formed their own modern manufacturing civilization during this period.
For example, from church bells and brewing equipment a hundred years ago to Mercedes-Benz and BMW today, “Made in Germany” gives people a deep impression of “durable”, “safe” and “precision”. This reflects the spirit of “Made in Germany” culture: “focus”, “standard”, “precision”, “perfection” and “order”.
Jin Bei, a member of the Faculty of the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences, believes that the road and future of the transformation and development of China’s manufacturing industry will increasingly depend on whether we can gradually form the social psychology and industrial foundation of modern industrial civilization, and accumulate the essence of industry rooted in China’s local. In his view, the cornerstone of this spiritual building is the spirit of cooperation, the framework is the spirit of contract, the structure is the concept of efficiency, and the details are the awareness of quality.
In fact, from the spirit of iron man, the spirit of two bombs and one star to the spirit of manned space flight, the spirit of high-speed rail, and then to the concept of Gree, Huawei, ZTE and other companies committed to technological innovation, the pursuit of perfect quality, and the provision of professional services, China does not lack the spirit of independent innovation and the value pursuit of establishing Chinese brands.
In Shanghai, the sculpture in front of the COMAC “Ten” aircraft engraved with “never give up” four big words, a new generation of regional jet ARJ21-700 is about to be put into operation, and the domestic large aircraft C919 is striving for its first flight at the end of this year, but as the “crown jewel” of the manufacturing industry, China’s aircraft manufacturing level to compete with the world’s advanced, there is still a long way to go. The mission of the Aviator is “never give up”.
Business people suggest that benchmarking enterprises are the cornerstone and soil for the formation of a country’s manufacturing civilization, and Ford of the United States and Toyota of Japan have played such roles respectively. In contemporary China, benchmarking enterprises should take the lead in exploring and practicing, refining the essence of Chinese manufacturing civilization, and gradually forming common values and the spirit of The Times.
