China's gear industry: standard backwardness restricts industry development

The development process of China from a gear manufacturing country to a gear manufacturing powerhouse is a process of rapidly improving gear product standards. It is an inevitable trend for enterprises to become the main body of standard setting.

"To promote the standardization work of China's gear industry, we must break the thinking mode under the planned economy and take the road of standardized development of the market economy." Wang Shengtang, secretary general of the Gear Professional Association, called for an interview with reporters.

He pointed out that under the conditions of a market economy, it is often those enterprises whose innovation is at the forefront, leading the development of standards. It is under their impetus that corporate standards are gradually rising to industry standards, national standards and even international standards. "This is the basic feature of gear standardization in a market economy environment and an inevitable trend in the standardization of market economy development."

The planned economy standard model is to be changed
Referring to the standards of China's gear industry, Wang Shengtang believes that it can be traced back to the early days of China's full-scale study of Soviet experience. In the 1960s and 1970s, the industry began to implement the Gear 60 standard by the government.

"In the 1980s, in order to change the backward appearance of the gear industry, China began to refer to the ISO standard and implement the gear 88 standard. However, because it is a reference, there is still a big gap between the design, process and equipment of gears and international standards." Wang Shengtang said.

In the 1990s, the market economy developed greatly in China, and the state decided to adopt the ISO standard. However, due to controversy over the issue of equivalence or equivalence, the Chinese gear industry has delayed the best period of implementing the ISO1995 standard. It has been implemented nominally but has not changed its thinking. As a result, the standard concepts of the manual, textbook, design and equipment of the gear are backward. So far, many companies have remained at the level of understanding of the Gear 88 standard, which has affected the process of gear products catching up with the international level.

"China has been taking the development path of the market economy for 30 years, but the standardization work of the gear industry is still continuing to plan the economic thinking mode." In the interview, Wang Shengtang repeatedly emphasized.

He told reporters that the standards under the planned economic system are promoted by the government, and the government is the main body of standardization. "The result of decades of planned economy has formed a diminishing model in which international standards are higher than national standards, national standards are higher than industry standards, and industry standards are higher than corporate standards. Enterprises lack the incentive to improve standards, the gap between gear products and international products. Pulling up, eventually leading to repeated introductions in the industry, it is difficult to stop."

"At present, the standard thinking and organizational model of the planned economy in the Chinese gear industry must be changed." Wang Shengtang repeatedly called on many occasions.

In the market economy environment, standards are updated fast, product replacement is fast, and technology innovation is fast. The reason is that the driving force for the development of market economy standards is fierce market competition. "Enterprises are the main body of competition, that is, the main body of standards. Market competition promotes technological innovation, and innovation promotes standards, thus forming a standard development model for enterprises and markets." Wang Shengtang came together for reporters.

Innovation standards drive market development
In the market economy, enterprise standards are the hallmark of the company's product level. Advanced gear companies lead product standards through independent innovation, and then occupy the market with advanced products. Standards have become a weapon for profit creation. Therefore, the product standard of independent innovation is the “locomotive” that drives the development of the gear market.

"Because of this, in recent years, the Gear Association has been entrusted by leading companies in the industry to actively organize key enterprises to formulate and revise industry association standards, lead the market with standards, regulate markets with market access conditions, curb vicious competition, and support superiority and inferiority. It is said that the enterprise is the main body of the standard, and the association is the organizer of the standard.” Wang Shengtang said that the vehicle gear steel procurement standard, the motorcycle gear standard and the industrial universal gearbox four standards are all promoted by the Gear Association. We will reach the international supporting level, curb the vicious competition of low quality and low price, and take the market access conditions as the main content to promote the gradual upgrading of gear products.

According to him, in some developed countries in Europe and the United States, if the market standard is implemented after two or three years of implementation, the standard will be upgraded to national standards, and national standards will be used to support enterprises in a favorable position to participate in international competition.

"National standards are a kind of weapon to defend the national market as a threshold, and international standards are the product of international trade. They are the standards led by the gear associations of the gear-powered countries and are the product of the negotiation between the National Gear Associations." Wang Shengtang told reporters.

“In summary, the independent innovation of enterprises in the market economy is the basis for the birth of advanced standards.” He concluded that advanced enterprises use innovative standards to open up markets, occupy markets, and lead the market, so corporate standards are higher than industry association standards, industry association standards. Higher than national standards, advanced national standards are higher than international standards. "And the reason why we now regard international standards as sacred is that because of lack of innovation, we are far behind foreign countries in terms of concepts and standards."

Independent innovation promotes industry development
“After stopping innovation, enterprises will become 'wage earners', and we must use independent innovation to promote China's gear products to reach the international advanced level.” Wang Shengtang said that this is the basic view of the Gear Professional Association. For this reason, since 2005, the Gear Association has been promoting the independent innovation of enterprises with great fanfare. The Gear Association has been promoting the development of gear standardization in China for more than ten years with reference to the experience of the standardization work of the American Gear Association.

"In order to participate in international competition, enterprises must first catch up with and implement the new ISO gear (current) standards, so that the basic standards of precision and strength of gear manufacturing are consistent with the international standards, and obtain a passport to enter the international market." He said that this is Gear products keep up with the basic conditions for the development of the international market and the world.

Secondly, when formulating various types of gear product standards, we should set the standards of international advanced companies, set the technical conditions of the products based on the basic parameters of international supporting gears, and create gears that can participate in international matching through innovative design and innovative processes. Products, domestic and foreign trade services for gear products.

Finally, Wang Shengtang also said that for the domestic backbone enterprises to temporarily fail to meet the international supporting level of products, the Gear Association can set different market access conditions when formulating standards, and the products will be divided into three categories, such as A, B and C. . “Where, Class A represents the international leading level, that is, our efforts; Class B represents the international supporting level, that is, the target achieved in the deadline; Class C represents products that are temporarily difficult to eliminate but are clearly backward and will be phased out in batches.”

"In short, China's process from gear manufacturing to power generation is a process of rapidly improving gear product standards." Wang Shengtang said.
