Machine Tool Association: Coping with the new changes in the operation of China's machine tool industry

**Abstract** With the continuous support of member companies and chapters, the China Machine Tool Industry Association (CMTIA) has been conducting industry statistics and operational analysis for nearly two decades. Over this period, the business has evolved from a basic framework to a comprehensive system that now offers in-depth insights with strong industry relevance. Whether it's government agencies, foreign industry associations, or enterprises seeking to understand the development of China’s machine tool sector, they often turn to the CMTIA for reliable data and analysis. The association’s reports on key enterprises are among the most credible sources used by stakeholders worldwide. **Summary of Preliminary Work** As economic models evolve both domestically and internationally, and under the influence of market-driven mechanisms, industry enterprises have begun to transform and upgrade. This shift has brought new and higher demands on the CMTIA’s statistical and analytical services. These requirements can be summarized into four main areas: 1. **Depth of Analysis**: Previously, the focus was on summarizing data and simple analysis. Moving forward, the goal is to conduct in-depth data mining and forecasting. 2. **Content Relevance**: While historical data was once the main focus, future needs require trend-based predictions and forward-looking insights. 3. **Timeliness**: Data release used to lag behind real-time, but now there is a push toward near-real-time reporting so that companies can receive analysis as soon as they submit their data. 4. **Technology Integration**: Traditional manual methods are no longer sufficient. The association must rely more on information technology and digital platforms to improve accuracy, speed, and data richness. To meet these evolving demands, the CMTIA has prioritized the modernization of its information systems as one of its core business initiatives. This effort aims to enhance service quality and provide valuable insights to industry players. We extend our sincere gratitude to all members, chapters, and staff who have long supported the association’s statistical work. Their dedication has laid a solid foundation for this progress. We also pay tribute to the leaders and colleagues who established and developed the industry statistics program. Looking ahead, we hope to continue working together under the new structure to elevate the standards of industry statistics and analysis. **The Upgrade Program** 1. **Work Progress** The upgrade initiative was carried out through five major stages: - In early November 2013, the association established an Information Management Department to organize and prepare for the upgrade. - On November 18, 2013, a survey was conducted to assess industry needs, and the findings were shared through the association’s website and publications. - On February 13, 2014, the upgrade plan was finalized and communicated with branches and member companies. - In March 2014, the implementation phase began, including collaboration with branches to expand enterprise recommendations and data collection. - On May 30, 2014, the official launch of the upgrade took place, with policy plans released to all members. 2. **Key Features of the Upgrade Program** This upgrade is characterized by two main aspects: - **Systematic and Process-Oriented Approach** The program is not just a minor improvement but a full-scale transformation based on demand and problem-solving. It consists of three levels: the information product system, the network service structure, and the underlying IT platform. The product system includes reports such as the “China Machine Tool Industry Operation and Market Analysis Report” and the “China Machine Tool Industry Listed Company Operation Analysis Report.” The network system is being enhanced to ensure broader coverage and scientific management. The IT platform supports real-time data processing and automated analysis. - **New Developments in the Industry** With the market reversal mechanism, new demands have emerged, prompting changes in how data is collected, processed, and shared. The process has shifted from informal contacts to structured cooperation agreements. Data is now classified and released in a tiered manner, with deeper analysis moving from enterprise-level summaries to industry-wide product trends. 3. **Principles of the Upgrade Work** To ensure the success of the upgrade, four guiding principles were established: - **Overall Planning and Step-by-Step Implementation** The upgrade is a comprehensive process that requires careful planning and gradual execution. Each stage should be mature before moving forward, ensuring a smooth transition without abrupt changes. - **Balancing Transparency and Protection** As an industry association, the CMTIA must protect member data while promoting information sharing. By classifying products and analyzing data, the benefits of the upgrade can be maximized for each company. - **Responsibility and Development** A balanced approach between responsibility and power is essential. Key enterprises will have greater access to data, and emerging companies with strong industry representation will be included in key statistics to enrich the data pool. - **Extension, Standardization, Optimization, and Upgrading** By expanding data samples and optimizing structures, the association aims to create a more efficient and inclusive system that allows more representative companies to participate. In conclusion, the CMTIA remains committed to a pragmatic and steady approach in its upgrade efforts. Providing high-quality services to industry players is the ultimate goal. With the continued support of its members, chapters, and key contacts, the association is confident in achieving its objectives and driving the industry forward.
