A relatively large used tire, through remanufacturing processes, can be used on some small and medium-sized agricultural machinery that often operates in muddy fields. As an advanced form of "reuse" in the circular economy, the remanufacturing industry has become an important strategic emerging industry in China.

    Entering Crane Remanufacturing, Achieving 45% High Growth 

    The Outline of the 12th Five-Year Plan explicitly proposed vigorously developing the remanufacturing industry. As one of China's first batch of remanufacturing pilot units, XCMG Group upholds social responsibility and adheres to a green development path. At the beginning of the year, it established a crane repair and remanufacturing branch factory, beginning to tap this attractive "gold mine" in the crane aftermarket. Changing thinking, changing concepts, changing positioning, adjusting structure, seizing opportunities and increasing efficiency, it has held multiple special meetings in succession to implement responsibilities and go all out to promote the transformation and upgrading of repair and remanufacturing.

    To shorten customer waiting time and improve process response speed, the Crane Machinery Business Division has comprehensively overturned and re-engineered the original repair process. Advanced remanufacturing equipment and large tooling fixtures for cleaning, testing and other processes are being procured intensively, the spare parts management system is being fully improved, and refined management is being implemented. With strengthened human resource allocation and internal decision-making authorization, businesses under multi-department responsibility have been consolidated into the repair and remanufacturing branch factory, and an independent operating unit fully equipped with personnel and resources has begun to take shape.

    According to the analysis in the "2013-2017 China Remanufacturing Industry Development Prospects and Investment Forecast Analysis Report" released by Qianzhan Industry Research Institute, the Crane Machinery Business Division is customer-demand-oriented, purposefully cultivating interdisciplinary talent integrating mechanical, electrical and hydraulic expertise, and building the repair and remanufacturing branch factory into a scientific research base for institutes of components, control technology and other fields, as well as a base for exporting relevant technology, quality and management standards. As a "hospital" that serves as a gathering point for various product "illnesses," it is also a regular destination for technical personnel, who can obtain first-hand information on product improvements here and drive the improvement of product full-life-cycle design.

    Qianzhan.com's remanufacturing industry research report analysis: this huge "gold mine" of remanufacturing still faces challenges such as policy and market issues, but its development trend is positive. The creation of the crane repair and remanufacturing center will effectively link with marketing, leasing and other platforms, leverage full-value-chain value-added services, meet customer needs, accelerate the pace of exploring and improving the remanufacturing industry, fully capture aftermarket value, and build a highly competitive aftermarket industry chain.
