雖是隆冬季節(jié),諸暨浣東街道——中國電腦機繡之鄉(xiāng),依舊流光溢彩,春意盎然。
2006年對于電腦繡花機企業(yè)來說是豐收的一年。無論是國內(nèi)市場還是國際市場,對電腦繡花機的需求量仿佛一夜之間全都暴漲,根據(jù)協(xié)會對行業(yè)主要電腦繡花機生產(chǎn)企業(yè)的統(tǒng)計,2005年多頭繡花機產(chǎn)量與去年同期相比增長了43.31%。從2004年到2006年底,諸暨的電腦刺繡機生產(chǎn)企業(yè)從原來的30家發(fā)展到250余家,繡花機產(chǎn)量占全國總產(chǎn)量的45%左右,如今,諸暨一躍成為我國繡花機產(chǎn)業(yè)的重要生產(chǎn)基地,在國內(nèi)已是三分天下有其一。
強化研發(fā):突圍的“殺手锏”
盡快掌握產(chǎn)業(yè)的核心技術(shù)和提高系統(tǒng)集成的能力,形成一批擁有自主知識產(chǎn)權(quán)的技術(shù)、產(chǎn)品和標(biāo)準(zhǔn),這是企業(yè)決勝市場的利器,也是電腦刺繡機產(chǎn)業(yè)得以青春長駐的秘方,強化研發(fā)是實現(xiàn)這一目標(biāo)的最佳途徑。
諸暨市委、市政府和浣東街道及時出臺了一系列扶持政策。在園區(qū)建設(shè)、土地使用、資金支持等方面,重點支持電腦刺繡機產(chǎn)業(yè)的科技攻關(guān)、新產(chǎn)品開發(fā)、引進、轉(zhuǎn)化和推廣科技成果,扶持基地科技創(chuàng)新體系和市電腦刺繡機協(xié)會及科創(chuàng)服務(wù)中心建設(shè)。諸暨力嘉計算機有限公司在諸暨市政府的支持下已經(jīng)著手研制電腦控制系統(tǒng),同時有數(shù)家企業(yè)設(shè)立了研發(fā)機構(gòu),并已初見成效。
諸暨的企業(yè)可以和國內(nèi)的科研單位、大專院校加強科研協(xié)作,使制造優(yōu)勢與他們電腦控制的研發(fā)優(yōu)勢很好地融合起來,同時把企業(yè)自己的科研機構(gòu)建起來和強起來,探索與世界上電腦繡花機制造最先進的企業(yè)合資合作的可能性。這是電腦刺繡機產(chǎn)業(yè)向中國轉(zhuǎn)移的大勢所趨,也是他們自身實力能夠吸引他們來的魅力所在。
機械質(zhì)量:突圍的著力點
諸暨市的電腦刺繡機品質(zhì)關(guān)鍵在機械部分,機械部分的重點在于零件的質(zhì)量和裝配的精度。
目前刺繡機企業(yè)的大部分零部件均為外部購進,而一些零部件的生產(chǎn)廠家面對市場的低利競爭,在經(jīng)濟利益的驅(qū)使下,或以次充好,或偷工減料,這對諸暨電腦刺繡機的整體品牌是一種嚴重傷害。為此,諸暨刺繡企業(yè)著眼長遠,以品牌形象為重,建立嚴格而可核查的零部件采購制度,從源頭上保證零部件進廠的質(zhì)量。其次,選擇典型示范,并輔之以必要的檢查手段,促使零部件生產(chǎn)企業(yè)整體質(zhì)量得到改善。
裝配的精度直接關(guān)系到刺繡機的穩(wěn)定、使用壽命、刺繡產(chǎn)品的質(zhì)量。如今諸暨電腦刺繡產(chǎn)業(yè)有一大批熟練的裝配工,立了一套培養(yǎng)、管理熟練裝配工的制度機制,建立和完善了裝配精度的檢測設(shè)施、檢測程度,提升裝配精度。
售后服務(wù):突圍的大文章
售后服務(wù)是諸暨電腦刺繡機產(chǎn)業(yè)鏈上不可或缺的一環(huán),不少企業(yè)在產(chǎn)品使用、技術(shù)指導(dǎo)、人員培訓(xùn)、設(shè)立維修點、技術(shù)員上門服務(wù)等方面做了大量工作,在為用戶帶來諸多使得的同時,也給企業(yè)贏得了聲譽和效益。售后服務(wù)同其他產(chǎn)業(yè)一樣,產(chǎn)品的銷售模式眼下正在從“產(chǎn)品營銷”向“服務(wù)營銷”轉(zhuǎn)化,這是市場逐漸成熟和人們理性消費的必然結(jié)果,故企業(yè)不僅要打造產(chǎn)品品牌,更要打造服務(wù)品牌,從大服務(wù)營銷理念入手,把技術(shù)服務(wù)、親近服務(wù)、快捷式服務(wù)、保姆式服務(wù)、電腦刺繡設(shè)備專家式服務(wù)等形式自然地融合在一起,使服務(wù)無所不在、無時不有,真正使售后服務(wù)成為企業(yè)決勝市場、贏得用戶的一大法寶。
行業(yè)標(biāo)準(zhǔn):突圍的話語權(quán)
諸暨電腦刺繡產(chǎn)業(yè)的定位是打造國內(nèi)電腦刺繡產(chǎn)業(yè)基地。要真正成為全國性的基地,沒有行業(yè)標(biāo)準(zhǔn)制定的發(fā)言權(quán)、參與權(quán),產(chǎn)業(yè)影響力就會大打折扣,企業(yè)會處于更加被動的地位。行業(yè)標(biāo)準(zhǔn)的制訂,規(guī)范企業(yè)生產(chǎn)行為,保證產(chǎn)品的質(zhì)量和技術(shù)性能,保護行業(yè)骨干企業(yè),遏制假冒偽劣產(chǎn)品,促進行業(yè)技術(shù)進步和整體質(zhì)量水平的提高上下大力氣。為此,諸暨刺繡企業(yè)參與制訂或起草行業(yè)標(biāo)準(zhǔn),并通過邀請行業(yè)協(xié)會的領(lǐng)導(dǎo)前來考察指導(dǎo),主動參加或主辦各種縫制設(shè)備展覽會和服裝設(shè)備展覽會,通過產(chǎn)品和企業(yè)形象展示,逐步確立自身在行業(yè)中的獨特地位和風(fēng)采魅力。
如今浣東街道在建技改項目有23只,其中千萬元以上項目17只。在改投入強勢推進的同時,浣東街道的自營出口也是一路高歌,尤其是電腦刺繡機行業(yè),挑起了2006年自營出口的大梁。目前,街道共有自營出口企業(yè)23家,其中有3家企業(yè)在國外設(shè)立窗口5個。2006年前十月,街道電腦刺繡機行業(yè)實現(xiàn)自營出口達4200萬美元,同比增長70%。
Powerhouse of Computerized Embroidery Machines
By Wang Guochan
Huandong Neighborhood in Zhuji, Zhejiang Province is the powerhouse of China’s computerized embroidery machines, accounting for 45% of the national total in 2006. Now the booming neighborhood is home to 250 manufacturers, a sharp increase from 30 in 2004. The overnight takeoff of the manufacturing industry of embroidery machines has been a fast response to the robust market demand both at home and abroad.
The local government has adopted favorable policies and the local industry itself has taken measures to boost quality, sales and services. These actions have contributed to the booming of the industry and will continue to play a crucial part in the continuation of the flourishing development.
The core technology and system integration are two crucial factors to boost the market share of the embroidery machines made in Zhuji. In order to boost the industry technologically, a complete range of policies has been released for technological innovation, business startup, capital, land use, facility construction, and collaboration with research institutions.
The key element in maintaining and raising the quality of embroidery machines lies in the quality of mechanical components and the precision of installation. In order to assure the quality of outsourced components, local manufacturers have established a quality inspection system and conduct rigorous inspections. The manufacturers have also developed a sound system to maintain a steady taskforce for machine installation, and a quality system to assure installation quality.
After-sale service is an important and indispensable factor for boosting the local industry. Many manufacturers have devoted resources to post-sale services. They provide training courses, set up maintenance outlets, provide door-to-door technical support, technical guidance, etc.
In order to further consolidate their market share and have a say in the industry, the manufacturers in Huandong Neighborhood are trying to make themselves heard and felt. They want to participate in formulating industrial standards, standardizing manufacturersiexcl;macr; production conducts, assuring quality and technical specifications, maintaining a favorable environment so that the manufactures have a better opportunity to survive and flourish, crack down on fake products, promote technological advances, and maintain the overall quality of the local manufacturing. To realize all these objectives, the embroidery-machine manufacturing industry in Zhuji has participated in formulating regulations and standards, invited leaders of professional organizations to inspect the local industry, and take part in exhibitions and sales promotions. They hope that this full exposure will enhance the standing of the industry.
So far, three manufacturers have set up sales outlets abroad. And 23 manufacturers are engaged in exporting their embroidery machines. By October 2006, the export volume had amounted to 42 million US dollars, a 70% increase year on year.
