Apprenticeship For Young Chinese Buyers To Promote Market Modernization

Britain has occupied the highest value chain, and this platform has become the bridgehead, accelerating the pformation of technological innovation achievements, increasing investment in talents and intangible assets, and making innovation the real competitiveness of P. This is probably the deep reason why the UK can succeed in "counterattack" manufacturing industry.

< /p >

< p > "I am glad that the factory is starting to recruit new workers again."

Rod, 69, a retired worker from Jaguar Land Rover Motor Company (Jaguar Land Rover), said excitedly, "this has not happened for several years."

< /p >

< p > the factory recruited new workers is natural, but the United Kingdom, which once walked ahead of the wave of industrialization, is now hard to mention "made in Britain".

Under the development thought of "going to industry and strengthening finance", manufacturing industry in Britain was once neglected to the freezing point of history.

British aristocrats would not have thought: when they began to realize that only the manufacturing industry could make the British economy really fail, it was China's new demand that pulled at the critical moment and helped them achieve the "counterattack" of the British manufacturing industry.

Of course, there are more high added value, technology and talent factors in new British manufacturing.

< p > "7 years ago, the Chinese market only accounted for 1% of the global sales share of Jaguar Land Rover, but sales figures in the first half of this year show that the Chinese market has accounted for 20% and has become the largest single market in the world."

Bo Han, global sales director of Jaguar Land Rover, has provided such a group of figures, which means that Chinese demand has also added a lot of jobs to its SOLIHULL factory in the UK.

Jeo is the production manager of the factory. He said, "from 2011 to 2012, a total of 1100 new employees will be added, and 800 employees will be added from 2012 to 2013."

According to the data released by British Market Research Institute in July, the UK manufacturing purchasing managers' index (PMI) rose to 52.5 in June this year, reaching a 25 month high. This is the three consecutive month in which the index is located above 50 of the industrial activity expansion and contraction line 50.

This means that the British manufacturing industry continues to maintain an upward trend in economic activity, and manufacturing enterprises are also more active.

< /p >

< p > in today's manufacturing recession, Jaguar Land Rover, which relied on British manufacturing and completed 11 billion of its exports, is a "decisive factor" in British manufacturing.

"In the UK, there are currently 26 thousand employees working directly for Jaguar Land Rover, but it creates 190 thousand indirect employment opportunities."

Mark Stanton, automotive engineering director, told reporters: "recently, the working team for the Chinese market has also been gradually expanding. For example, the research team targeting the Chinese market is developing rapidly in response to the needs of customers in the Chinese market."

< /p >

< p > Bo Han emphasized that buyers in China are over ten years old from British buyers to teenagers.

These young Chinese upstarts are the most powerful promoters of Jaguar Land Rover's performance.

< /p >

< p > it can be said that the automobile industry has promoted the recovery of the British manufacturing industry, and behind this recovery is China's demand pull.

With strong Chinese demand, British motor produced about 1 million 570 thousand cars last year, an increase of 7.7% over the same period last year, 2 percentage points more than that of the previous year, and the total volume of vehicle exports also exceeded 1 million 270 thousand vehicles, a record high.

Another case is that Rolls-Royce, the oldest car manufacturer in the UK, sold 3575 cars worldwide in 2012, and Chinese new buyers bought more than 1000 cars.

< p > strong > high added value support new British manufacturing < /strong > /p >

Less than ten years in the European economy, it is hard for P to make authentic products in Britain.

Take Jaguar Land Rover, though it is a big British manufacturing industry with a long history, it has been acquired by Tata Motors in India.

Rolls-Royce was also accepted by BMW, Germany.

But no matter who is bought by these companies, the determination of the British to leave the product design and manufacture in Britain is very firm.

< /p >

< p > "it is certain that the future of Jaguar Land Rover will focus on the UK."

Bo Han said that Jaguar Land Rover, which exports 85% of its products, plays an important role in the UK manufacturing industry. Although Jaguar Land Rover has already set up factories in China, its products will only focus on the local market, and it is possible to build factories in emerging market countries in the future, but the focus of production will not change.

< /p >

< p > in Britain, where the labor cost is high, it is not easy to maintain the superiority in the manufacturing industry and stick to it.

Jeo told reporters that the average annual income of the Jaguar Land Rover factory is around 30 thousand pounds, which does not include related benefits.

"The salary level is very good locally.

When the factory recruited 1100 employees, it received 25 thousand resumes.

However, such a high labor cost without high added value support is unthinkable.

< /p >

< p > before Jaguar Land Rover CEO applied to Wade, the premise of ensuring high added value is high R & D investment.

"Jaguar Land Rover's annual investment in research and development is 14%~16% of annual revenue.

This year's investment in research and development will reach 2 billion 750 million pounds.

Mark Stanton told reporters that an important part of these R & D investment will be on the introduction of advanced technology and the improvement of new materials, such as huge investment in Virtual R & D. "It seems to cost a lot of money, but virtual technology can better help design pformation in the early stage, greatly reducing the waste in later design."

< /p >

< p > docking between virtual technology and real products is easier because of 3D printing technology.

This amazing technology has revolutionized the research and development of the automobile industry.

"Anything that can be designed in a computer can be typed out by a printer."

Jaguar Land Rover 3D laboratory official told reporters that the 3D R & D laboratory was established in 2009, mainly used for R & D, which made many parts and components R & D take a lot of detours.

"At present, we use 3D printers to produce 50 thousand parts every year."

< p > < strong > modernized apprenticeship < /strong > /p >

< p > "I was a new worker when I entered Jaguar Land Rover in 1960. After five years of training, I was officially put on duty."

Rod told reporters that the comprehensive training of new recruits is the tradition of Jaguar Land Rover, but stopped in the past few years. "150 of the 800 new employees this year have no basis for production, and they will be trained for 4 years."

In Rod's view, factory training is one of his most proud experiences, and the apprenticeship is the most important factor in training.

Unlike Rod's generation of workers, the apprenticeship now incorporates more modern elements.

< /p >

< p > "Germany's manufacturing industry performs well, a very important factor is that they have a perfect apprenticeship."

An engineer who worked for many years in German automobile companies declassified that the advantage of apprenticeship is to focus on subtle words, teaching and understanding, respecting tradition.

The modern apprenticeship emphasizes more on how people integrate with modern machines and cooperate more tacit.

After completing the training, the employee is actually a technical engineer.

< /p >

< p > paying attention to the training of technical engineers is actually part of the competitiveness of the national manufacturing industry.

Now the salaries of technical engineers in the global manufacturing industry are rising.

The average annual salary of a senior mechanical engineer in the United States increased from $84 thousand in 2011 to $88 thousand in 2012. The annual salary of an engineer in a German production department was between 45 thousand and 65 thousand euros.

The British government has realized the importance of training technical engineers.

< /p >

< p > public information shows that the British government has invested 1 billion 500 million pounds to increase the chances of apprenticeship.

It also strengthened the entry of graduates into the curriculum of training programs. "The government has encouraged everyone to enter the manufacturing industry."

The technical engineer's income is actually quite good. Now many people have realized this, which is one reason why Jaguar Land Rover can receive 25 thousand resumes.

< /p >

< p > an example of the British government's great satisfaction is that GM's investment in Europe has caused losses. Many people think that GM will turn off the factories in the UK. But last May, GM announced that it will produce the next generation of its Astra models from the factory of Ayers Port, Ellesmere, from 2014.

Behind this, on the one hand, is because GM has reached agreement with the workers in the factory in terms of wages, working hours and so on. On the other hand, it is the training of technical engineers in the UK to promote labor productivity, and of course, the support of the government can not be overlooked.

< /p >

< p > a lot of non original British manufacturing, though not proprietary in Britain, has occupied the highest value chain in the UK. Taking this platform as a bridgehead, speeding up the pformation of technological innovation achievements, increasing investment in talents and intangible assets, and making innovation become its real competitiveness, this is probably the deep reason why the UK can succeed in "counterattack" manufacturing.
