iAbrasive: Enterprise’s Transformation and Upgrading Are Imperative

As we know, things around the world are evolving at any moment and only the stronger ones can survive longer. This philosophy also applies to the growth of manufacturing industries, that is, only by reforming and upgrading continuously can enterprises develop in a lasting and healthy way.

"abrasives belongs to the traditional manufacturing industry. With the progress of society and prevalence of automation, conventional production structure and techniques will be sifted out gradually. If enterprises can not make adjustments accordingly, what awaits them is being knocked out from the market." said by Lei, the founder of iAbrasive.

Suggestions listed below are given by Lei with an intent to give abrasives manufacturers some directions about how to realize enterprise’s transformation and upgrading effectively.

1. Transforming low value-added products to high value-added ones.

For instance, improve product technology content. Generally, it is easier for high-end products to win the global market competition.

2. Transforming labor-intensive ones to technology intensive

Automation will finally replace the labor forces. What's more, the costs of labor in abrasives industry keep raising. Entrepreneurs should make more efforts on the research of new techniques.

3. Transforming extensive management style to intensive one

Abrasives belongs to high energy-consuming industry. During the manufacturing, it will not only consume large energies but cause much pollution to the environment. Entrepreneurs should take the responsibility of protecting the mutual planet by transforming the conventional extensive management style to an intensive one.

4. Transforming from OEM to OBM

In China, many enterprises accept OEM. To some extent, it will bring companies profits in a short time. However, it is bad for enterprises to establish their own brands in a long run.

5. Replacing vicious competition with differentiating production

Some manufacturers attempt to seize market share by lowering the product price or the cost by cheating on workmanship and materials. As a result, they'll be replaced by those who insist in developing differentiating products.

Apart from enterprises' internal transformation, iAbrasive also suggests abrasives manufacturers expand sales channels with the aids of outside powers, such as joining in some professional online trading platform. "after all, network sales is the trend today." Lei indicates at the end.
