Rebirth 99 to become a car giant

The whole factory of Nanshan Auto Parts Factory is in full swing now.

The orders of Santana and Jetta made everyone full of confidence.

Cao Yang also has to go to the production site every day, and then give training on PRG mold-related technologies to the people in the technical department.

At the same time, 5S management and Toyota's lean management methods are also promoted in the factory.

Today, after he finished training everyone, Zhang Fugui immediately blocked him.

"Sad face, what's the matter?"

"Director, I have something to report to you. I'm not sure how to deal with it."

It's rare that Zhang Fugui didn't have a hippie smile today, "It's just that the orders sent to me by Spring City Stamping in the past two days are a bit strange, and the quantity has increased immediately."

"I feel like they made a mistake, but this is a good thing for us. I don't know if we should remind them."

Hearing what Zhang Fugui said, Cao Yang also felt a little strange.

The production orders issued by automobile manufacturers to suppliers are all according to the plan, and most of the time the plan is set one month in advance.

If there are major changes, the other party should be in touch.

"Did you call and ask why?"

"I'm not sure if I should ask, what if someone makes a wrong decision? The factory is relatively tight on funds now, so we can produce a batch of parts and send them over, and we can get an extra amount of money back. Even if it's really a wrong decision , the big deal is to reduce some orders later.”

Zhang Fugui explained the reason for his entanglement.

"Have they approached you lately to investigate nut plate capacity or something?"

"There is no special investigation, but Minister Wang from Spring City Stamping once called to ask about it."

"Call Xu Liang directly to find out. Although we are short of funds, if it is true that Chuncheng Stamping placed the wrong order, we don't need to take advantage of it."

Cao Yang is not the kind of person with a small belly.

Nanshan Auto Parts Factory aspires to become the largest parts supplier in China and even the world. What is this matter now?

"Okay, then I understand."

After being told by Cao Yang, Zhang Fugui also felt that he had entered a dead end.

Without any hesitation, he immediately took out his PHS and called Xu Liang.

"Huh? Really?"

After talking for less than two minutes, a surprised expression appeared on Zhang Fugui's face.

Soon, his attitude on the phone got better.

After exchanging pleasantries with the other party for about ten minutes, I hung up the phone.

"How about it?"

Cao Yang's curiosity was also aroused by Zhang Fugui's performance just now.

"Factory manager, the nut plate is a quasi-standard part in Volkswagen. The nut plate in the same part of different models generally has the same specifications. Even the nut plate in different parts should be minimized as much as possible."

"This time our nut plate was first used on the Jetta, and now they are ready to use it on the Audi A6."

"At the same time, I heard that Spring City Stamping is on the side of Modu Volkswagen, and it is also promoting a similar proposal to expand the application of nut plates, so I ordered some more parts."

When Zhang Fugui said this, Cao Yang understood.

1999 was really a special year for Huaxia Automobile Industry.

First, in terms of regulations at the beginning of the year, the "Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) Management Rules" was promulgated, and VIN became the unique identification code of vehicles. This indicates that my country has been in line with international standards in terms of motor vehicle management, and the market has developed more orderly.

Immediately afterwards, the "Implementation Rules for the Implementation of the "Notice on the Prohibition of Illegal Assembly (Assembly) of Automobiles and Motorcycles"" was released, so that those small workshop-style automobile and motorcycle assembly companies had to withdraw from the market, which was conducive to industrial concentration. Increase productivity.

Then there is the crash test that everyone is familiar with in later generations. This year, the first requirement was promulgated: "Design Rules for Occupant Protection in Frontal Collision".

At the same time, classic models such as Spring City Volkswagen’s Audi A6, Shanghai Volkswagen’s Passat, Shanghai General Motors’ Buick GL8 and Yangcheng Honda’s Accord all rolled off the production line this year.

In the next few years, more international auto companies will enter China, bringing more opportunities to various parts manufacturers.

"In addition to the door hinge reinforced nut plate, we have also sent quotations to Chuncheng Stamping Factory for other nut plates. We must follow up the progress as soon as possible and strive to implement the fixed point information."

"Factory Manager, if the nut plates for all models of Shanghai Volkswagen and Spring City Volkswagen are produced by us, then our production capacity will basically not be redundant."

Zhang Fugui felt that it was necessary for him to remind him, lest he would bring back a bunch of orders but fail to deliver them, and his reputation would be ruined.

"Haven't you been asked to discuss the purchase of equipment with various stamping equipment manufacturers? How is the situation?"

Hearing Cao Yang's question, Zhang Fugui couldn't help looking at Zeng Tingting.

"Factory manager, it's like this. During this period of time, we have completed the remortgage of the existing equipment, and the bank should release the loan next week. They also sent the quotation for the Schuler press. At the same time, We also asked several other press manufacturers for prices.”

Obviously, Zeng Tingting, the secretary of the factory director and head of the finance department, still has a high degree of participation in the purchase of presses.

"When will the equipment arrive at the earliest?"

The next few years will be very critical, and Cao Yang naturally does not want to delay the development speed due to equipment problems.

"Schuler's presses are all imported from Germany, and it will take half a year at the fastest."

When Zeng Tingting said this, she also felt a little guilty.

After all, she knew that Cao Yang hoped to buy the equipment back this year.

"Half a year? Coupled with equipment installation and commissioning, won't it be officially put into production in the second half of next year?"

Cao Yang frowned, apparently dissatisfied with the progress.

As for how to promote the nut plate, he still has a lot of tricks that have not been used.

If the equipment is not in place yet, it will be a little passive when communicating with other OEMs.

"Director, the delivery time of Schuler's stamping machine is actually quite normal, and they didn't delay it on purpose."

Zhang Fugui also had a good understanding of the situation of the press, so he helped Zeng Tingting to say a word.

"Half a year is too long, let's see if other press manufacturers can make it earlier? If the price difference is not too big, we will buy whoever delivers the goods faster. And you tell the other party, our After one purchase, we will definitely continue to purchase equipment and expand production next year."

The factory is owned by the company, so it can do bidding, price comparison, etc., as long as Cao Yang thinks there is no problem.

In this regard, the flexibility of private enterprises is obviously much higher.
