Impact of Industrial Metrology on Manufacturing Upgrading:Examination based on Three Dimensions of Quality,Cost and Technological Innovation
Metrology is one of the five important elements of industrial technology infrastructure in the"four foundations"of industry,and is an important component of the improvement of industrial basic capabilities.Under the background of the current era of quantization in the current metrology development,it is of extraordinary significance to deeply interpret the impact mechanism of industrial metrology on the upgrading of manufacturing industry and conduct practical tests on it,in order to accelerate the construction of a modern industrial system.This paper innovatively examines the importance of the improvement of industrial basic capabilities,represented by industrial metrology,for the upgrading of manufacturing industries from an economic perspective.It constructs a micro and macro theoretical framework of the impact of industrial metrology on the upgrading of the manufacturing industry,and introduces the corresponding research hypotheses.Then,a combination of empirical and interpretive analysis methods is used to conduct a practical test.Firstly,based on a questionnaire survey of the manufacturing enterprises from multiple industries and various regions in China,400 survey data are obtained,and a structural equation model is constructed based on the survey.The research hypotheses were quantitatively tested.To overcome the drawback that the research data comes from only the micro level enterprises and cannot test the impact mechanism of industrial metrology on the upgrading of manufacturing industry from the macro level,this paper further selects two typical representative enterprises in the field of industrial metrology(one is the leading company of the industry and the other is the company that sets the industry standard)to conduct case studies.On the one hand,the structural equation model constructed by the quantitative research institute is tested qualitatively,and on the other hand,the impact of industrial metrology on the upgrading of the manufacturing industry can also be verified from the macro level.The research results indicate that:at the micro level,industrial metrology can positively affect the economic benefits of enterprises through the improvement of product quality and the reduction of production costs.At the same time,industrial metrology can also directly affect the technological innovation of enterprises,and the technological innovation of enterprises will further affect economic benefits by affecting product quality and production costs,and promote the upgrading of the manufacturing industry with higher added value and higher comprehensive efficiency;At the macro level,industrial metrology can lead the technological progress of the manufacturing industry and produce a positive feedback effect on the measurement activities of enterprises at the micro level,forming a multiple and circular influence mechanism of industrial metrology on the upgrading of the manufacturing industry.From a theoretical perspective,this study provides an economic theoretical basis for revealing the mechanism by which industrial metrology promotes the upgrading of the manufacturing industry.It innovatively explores the economic value of industrial metrology,a traditional concept in the field of engineering,and constructs measurable economic indicators for it,which is the first time in both the field of industrial metrology and economics;From a practical perspective,as China's economy enters a new stage of high-quality development,the construction of a modern industrial system driven by the enhancement of industrial basic capabilities becomes an urgent practical problem that needs to be solved.This study explores the upgrading path of China's manufacturing industry by taking industrial metrology as the entry point,which provides a direction for thinking in response to the above questions.Especially in the current time point that industrial metrology enters into the era of quantum metrology,the transformation of technological paradigms provides a rare opportunity for China to win the strategic advantage of development in the new round of technology and industry competition.It is of great significance to fully leverage the supporting and guiding role of industrial metrology in China's intelligent manufacturing development.
