“制造强国的主要指标研究”是中国工程院“制造强国战略研究”重大咨询项目中的一个课题，于2013年1月启动， 一年多来，课题组围绕指标体系构建、制造强国指数评价、战略路径等方面多次召开课题组会和专家研讨会。课题组在充分研究国内外指标体系、工业发达国家强国之路的基础上，详细分析了我国制造业现状，提出了制造强国的内涵和特征，构建了制造强国评价指标体系，并对国际上公认已是制造强国的典型国家进行了研究、也对我国制造强国的进程进行了预测。同时结合指标体系的构建和评价结果，提出推进制造强国的战略路径。

“The main index of manufacturing power” is one task in a major consulting project called “manufacturing power strategy” in the Chinese Academy of Engineering , started in January 2013. The research group has held several seminars on the index system construction, the manufacturing power index evaluation, strategic paths. Based on the comprehensive study on the abroad index system and on the paths of the industrialized countries from weak to powerful, the research has analyzed the present situation of China Manufacturing in details, has proposed contents and features of manufacturing power, has constructed manufacturing power evaluation system, and has predicted the progress of manufacturing power in China. Combined with the results of the index system construction and evaluation, the research has also proposed strategic path to promote manufacturing power.
