Chapter 160 Standardization and Quality Management
After Eriksson participated in the management, he proposed the concept of product standardization to the Chinese management and insisted on implementation. At the same time, he also proposed the quality management system of automobile parts. According to his ideas, the automobile group must speed up the implementation of these two management measures. If successful, the group will also enter the correct development track!
The pre-job training of Coma Company reveals a little bit of the standardized management system required for modern large-scale production. The leading cadres of the automobile factory have also studied hard behind Italians and carefully recorded the little things about foreigners managing enterprises. However, they are only responsible for the pre-job training of workers and do not mean to teach modern enterprise management knowledge. Chinese personnel have to explore on their own, which is of course a very regrettable thing!
Therefore, even if the leaders of automobile factories work hard to remember what they see in their minds during the day and work overtime to discuss at night, there is no good effect. Because the Chinese people have never experienced modern large-scale production at all, and all experience comes from the experience of having a large number of people, large-scale movements, large-scale construction, and people's war. They do not know what modern production is. With fewer people, they do not know how to perform it, and they feel that they are always short of manpower.
So after the Italians left, they not only did not learn about standardized management, but they were a little uncomfortable with such a large factory and so few people. Even if they wanted to pick up the Italians' set, they didn't know where to start.
A while ago, the factory leadership team had a fierce quarrel over whether to recruit more people. Lin Xiangrong, Chang Yuanting and others from the former factory were not willing to recruit more people because they adapted to a large factory from the beginning, while a group of managers brought by Li Gang believed that in order to develop the factory, they must recruit more employees.
The arrival of Eriksson, the foreign manager, actually forced the smell of gunpowder on both sides.
As a foreign manager, Eriksson first taught a lesson to the Chinese management, introducing the West's path to standardization.
He gave an example. An American woman needed to install a nail on the wall. In fact, she really installed it. She would use a barrel tool to hold the nails, then pull the handle behind the barrel, and then hit the nails into the wall after a few snaps. Then she used special glue to fill the gap, and it was impossible to see how the nails were put in. The nails were wiped flat.
Factory in European and American countries have implemented standardization thoroughly, and even have to use special tools to knock nails on the wall. Their workers dare not and do not know how to make things without standards.
Even in some daily life, this standardized life can be seen everywhere. For example, the door number of blocks in the United States, no matter how many numbers it reaches after one row is finished, the door number of the other row will start to mark again, which greatly facilitates passers-by.
In the decoration industry in Europe and the United States, even such standardized equipment and standardized construction can be seen everywhere. Decorators in the United States use professional tools to do their jobs well and quickly, and their decorations reflect the taste of industrialization everywhere. These professional equipment can even actively help workers do their jobs well. They are designed by professionals, and workers only need to follow the instructions.
Chinese decorators often do not use these special tools when they arrive at other people's places. They will only do their own experience. The result will not only be half the result with twice the effort, but may also be complained by owners due to quality problems or disturbing the public.?
This shows that Westerners have made very detailed standards. They have penetrated into their production and life, and even trivial matters are formulated. Every trivial details are summarized based on a large number of experiments, so as long as you do it strictly according to the standards, a fool can make that product.
Their advantage lies in the overall industrial level, and they strictly control quality from material production, ensuring deformation, stress, internal consumption, etc. during subsequent processing. They are all within the control range, and they are indeed changed according to the parameters given in the product instructions.
For many special-shaped components, they all have specially designed molds, and even if they don’t have to be used once for hundreds of years, they have to spend time making one.
The entire industrial manufacturing system of developed Western countries is based on the fact that they do not believe in people, and do not expect to use workers' experience and cleverness to solve technical problems. All problems are solved according to standardized steps written literally.
Just be smart and take shortcuts. Just be almost the same. If you want to rely on this kind of thinking to solve problems, you will be expelled. This kind of behavior is definitely not encouraged.
Perhaps some people think that they will also use hammers to modify the shape and use files to change the size, which is definitely a big mistake. Maybe this is the case during verification, but it will never happen during mass production.
If the offline board cannot be put together, it is either a problem of worker processing, then replace it; or a problem of design, then redesign it; or a problem of materials, and people who work on the materials will solve it. Manual knocking is absolutely not allowed.
Once such an accident occurs, it must be a major accident, it must receive the attention of the management party, and the crux of the problem must be found. It is absolutely not allowed to fool it!
In addition, domestic workers still have many traditional "good habits". They will take the initiative to consider the factory. Saving materials for the factory is also a habit they have developed as an apprentice.
On the contrary, after Westerners formulate regulations, which tools should be used and what time limit should be implemented completely according to the standards. For example, the special drill bits and drill tools during the processing process must be replaced and scrapped for a certain period of time. No matter how intact it looks, the workers will never dare not throw them away after making holes. There is no such thing as savings here, because according to the standards, 100% of drill bits can be used safely for so long, and even if 80% can be used several times, they must be thrown away. Because once a drill bit breaks during processing, causing a hole to have some problems, the entire workpiece will be invalidated, and the cost is even greater. This strict management has penetrated into the mind of every worker, so that he will not dare not change it.
Standardization is an important feature of industrialization. Domestic workers are accustomed to the practice of small workshops and are not yet adapted to modern large-scale production. Some workers with excellent skills can make good products, but they cannot guarantee that every worker in the factory has superb skills. Every product is a good product and is uniform. It is not necessary to prevent a skilled worker from concentrating all the advantages of him. The factory relies entirely on individual workers with high skills to make a living. This is a particularly taboo in large-scale industrial production!
Although we have Level 8 technicians, we cannot expect that the products produced by everyone can be at the same level as Level 8 technicians!
Faced with the large number of employees who lack culture and technology recruited by automobile factories, the factory must adopt a standardized production system to ensure the reliability of the product quality and the continuity of brand development!
Everyone, including Li Gang, was well educated by Eriksson. After fully understanding the standardized production system in the West, everyone recalled the problems of domestic factories and found that there was a big gap between them and abroad. For example, there are many domestic factories that rely too much on high-tech workers. Of course, it is not possible without level 8 workers, but relying on these level 8 workers in everything, then a company as big as Bincheng Automobile Group cannot develop!
Eriksson's opinions were unanimously agreed by the factory leaders and implemented them in accordance with the standard management measures formulated by the Swedes.
Originally, Italians’ training was trained according to this standardized system. Now that China can continue this management method, the factory leaders naturally cannot find it. This is to fill in an important part of modern company management. Italians can train your workers, but they will not teach you how to survive the company!
At present, the leadership team of the automobile factory is basically fully equipped. The country has sent a chief engineer Qiao Jiahua, two deputy general managers Yu Chengli, Geng Zhaojie, and Chen Shihuang, all cadres who were drawn from FAW-2 Automobile to learn. They also led a cadre team of more than ten people, which has already filled various workshop positions in the automobile factory.
The above means that these people can learn from this modern automobile factory the operating model and management methods of advanced factories to expand to other state-owned automobile factories in China.
Lin Johnson also accepted this situation calmly. In his heart, he also felt that his father's current position is OK and he could not always rely on a new force to emerge. He rose too quickly and fell quickly. He had to have a long accumulation process, otherwise, no one would be convinced even if he was not solid in the foundation.
No matter what, my father is an old man who builds a car factory. Moreover, his father is only 45 years old and he can't even rank in front of his superiors, especially in front of these car professionals, he is even younger!
Besides, there are too many benefits and temptations in state-owned enterprises. Lin Qiangsheng doesn’t want his father to be involved in it too deeply, go too far, and go to places where he doesn’t even care about it!
………………………………………
In addition to the standardized management system, the quality management system was also proposed at the same time. At the beginning, Lin Johnson contacted Coma to purchase a complete set of inspection equipment for automobile production, but Coma really couldn't help in this regard. These inspection equipment are widely used with high-precision technology equipment such as laser positioning and flaw detection analysis, and Coma couldn't hide it from others.
There are always negligence and uncertainty in the human inspection. When Eriksson mentioned quality management, Li Gang and others directly asked him to list the relevant equipment. After getting the equipment list, they contacted the machinery department to find a way to solve the problem.
Of course, there is not without advanced testing equipment in the factory, but there is only a lack of high-end technology. Things like laser positioning equipment are not something that Lin Johnson-John can get.
Lin Johnson can still buy technical testing equipment such as thermal machine testing bench, dynamometer, valve leakage detection instrument, etc.
After Li Gang and others reported to the upward report, the Ministry of Machinery attached great importance to this product quality management system, and the requirements of foreign managers were also respected quite well.
The Ministry of Machinery immediately contacted several major domestic research institutes, BJ Optoelectronics Research Institute, BJ11 Institute, Changchun Optoelectronics Institute, and Si*chuan Optoelectronics Research Institute, Shangguang, Xiguang and other scientific research units to establish project research and public relations for laser positioning detection equipment. For flaw detection and detection equipment, the Ministry of Machinery contacted BJ Metal Physics Research Institute, Shenyi Metal Research Institute and other scientific research units for development.
The so-called flaw detection is to detect cracks or defects inside metal materials or components. Common flaw detection methods include: light-ray flaw detection, ultrasonic flaw detection, magnetic powder flaw detection, penetration flaw detection, etc.
This method can directly detect whether the physical properties of metal parts meet the standards. It plays an important role in automobile manufacturing and is also a high-quality and sophisticated equipment with relatively strict control in foreign countries.
Equipment like this must be developed by some domestic key and confidentiality level. Military research units must participate in the development. From this point of view, we can see that Li Gang and others are worthy of being able to reach Tianting directly. The energy is huge, and Lin Xiangrong is far behind them.
Of course, the higher the status, the greater the responsibility! At present, Lin Xiangrong's position is very satisfied and contented!
After the entire quality management system is formulated, it is not difficult to find that inspection has become a high-frequency word, which shows how important product quality control is!
Foreign manufacturing concepts are no longer just about making the product, but also really going into the details of the product. From the start of manufacturing the first component of the product, manufacturers should predict its future use situation and estimate the product service life and limit.
Accompanied by the factory leaders, Eriksson carefully observed one workshop and summarized management methods, and implemented standardized construction. His management model and opinions and requirements were actively cooperated by the leadership team of the entire factory. Everyone hoped that the factory could develop better. With a good wish, we learned from foreigners' experience, and then became our own things.
As the highest leader of the entire factory, Li Gang, at the ministerial level, has absolute authority. During discipline meetings and various meetings, he repeatedly emphasized the need to learn and master advanced management techniques from foreigners and grasp the spirit without relaxing. The cadres below also knew that this was a critical moment for the development of automobile factories and should not have any slackness.
Gradually, a spirit of striving for progress in Bincheng Automobile Group is forming! (To be continued)
