Automotive Black Technology Chapter 234: : The intersection of sweat and iron

Why do you say Li Fanyu is shameless?
Because he has something to do with Kang Tongcheng and Xue Yaoguo!
The upright Lao Li has been tricked by tricks, and now his mentality has changed very quickly. It is no exaggeration to say that he is now the biggest supporter of A4 platform technology in the R&D team of Guangqi Group.
As the chief engineer of Guangqi, Li Jun played a huge role in the entire project.
If Li Fanyu "accidentally" revealed the routine to Lao Li, what would he think and what would he do?
Well, Li Fanyu used this as a leverage to get people!
Although Kang Tongcheng knew that it was unlikely that he would do this, his shortcomings were pinched, so he had to bow to Li Fanyu, the "evil force", and obediently sent his main force to help move the production line.
After two days of preparatory work, Li Fanyu finally finalized the relocation plan with the cooperation of Li Jun and others.
A production line is a complicated thing, especially an automobile production line, which is different from those glamorous **** like those food and drug production lines.
This production line, originally owned by Mitsubishi, is a large-scale comprehensive production line that integrates welding, stamping, painting and final assembly. One of the welding workshops alone covers an area of nearly 3,000 square meters, including eight steel automatic lines. Others are similar to axle lines, body door lines, etc. There are more than 400 robots and robotic arms in the entire line.
Compared with the French one that Zhengxin is using now, it is much, much more advanced.
If nothing else, take the final assembly line as an example; Zhengxin currently relies too much on workers in French production, and the equipment on the line is lagging behind. Every time they install body accessories on the A4, workers need to climb up and down. Not only is the efficiency low, workers are also very tired. If it weren't for the X energy sonar buff, I don't know how much progress would be delayed in this link alone.
But the current Mitsubishi production line does not have this problem; its final assembly line has equipment similar to the gripper of a claw machine. The frame and body can be flipped up to fifty degrees. In this way, even without the cooperation of robots and robotic arms, workers can easily complete the attachment installation work, which saves time and effort!
Although in Li Fanyu's opinion there is still a considerable gap in automation between this production line and the X super production line, if it is put into production, it will undoubtedly increase Zhengxin Power's existing production capacity by a large level.
Li Fanyu looked at the huge production line in front of him, which was being dismantled and assembled, and he was filled with emotion; technology is really the primary productive force!
After the relocation plan was finalized, the accompanying technicians from the power company returned to Tiancheng ahead of Li Fanyu to plan the existing workshop so that the equipment could be installed immediately after it was shipped back.
Fortunately, the power company left room for upgrades when it was expanding. Otherwise, if the production line goes back now, it will face the dilemma of having nowhere to put it. Therefore, Li Fanyu felt very bad about his original decision, and silently praised himself over and over again in his heart - Brother Fan, you are so forward-thinking!
After nearly two weeks of moving in batches, the production lines were finally delivered to Tiancheng.
By the time Li Fanyu arrived at Zhengxin Power, Pan Qiang and Sun Guoyi had already begun the installation of the first batch of lines with the assistance of Guangqi technicians who arrived with the production line.
Looking at the forklifts and external professional installers coming and going in the factory, Li Fanyu suddenly felt heroic.
This intersection of sweat and iron can always give people unlimited imagination about the future. This is the charm of industry.
In this field, although there is no pride like thousands of troops marching to conquer the country, creating an industrial empire of one's own with a wave of the hand is definitely the most powerful drug that arouses the blood of the man Fang Gang.
Both Pan Qiang and Sun Guoyi are very capable leaders, and with the full cooperation of Li Jun and Guangqi technical staff, Li Fanyu is not worried at all about the installation and debugging of the production line.
After giving some instructions, he returned to the company.
The research and development progress of the A6 project has come to an end, and the test run has also been completed.
Originally, the situation was quite promising, but Li Fanyu frowned when he saw which part of the supplier's procurement progress was included in the progress report sent by Huang Qi.
According to the current platform development process, the process of the A6 project should be like this; the laboratory is responsible for conception, development, experimentation - and production of prototype cars for acceptance.
The project is then handed over to the company for planning, procurement, and preparation before mass production.
After these tasks are completed, they will be handed over to the power company for mass production. In order to ensure that the mistakes of the previous Zhangsu incident will not occur again, a final process of factory acceptance of the vehicle will be carried out, and sales will be carried out after everything is correct.
But the current report shows that the entire process is stuck in the procurement area!
The purchasing department of Zhengxin is a veteran who was trained when he was mainly engaged in the second-hand car business. He has been quite capable for such a long time. The previous purchase of the A4 took less than half a month, a speed that exceeded 90% of the country's automobile manufacturing companies.
But now, nearly half a month has passed since the planning was completed, and the procurement progress is less than 70% completed!
You know, quite a few spare parts of A4 and A6 are common. From this point of view, has the purchasing department been playing house in the past half month?
Li Fanyu hissed, picked up the phone, dialed the company's internal line, and called Wang Han, the manager of the purchasing department.
Seeing Li Fanyu's dissatisfied face, Wang Han was also full of irritation.
Since the suppliers resumed work after the end of the year, Wang Han has led the purchasing team below to communicate with them.
When most suppliers learned that Zhengxin's new products were about to be put into production, they sent representatives or bosses to discuss with them in person.
However, there are a few suppliers who are uncharacteristically different. Not only did he say that this cooperation was lukewarm, but he was even more vague and evasive when receiving Zhengxin's purchasing staff.
Among them, Huasheng Automotive Materials Factory and Jingzhi Automotive Electrical Appliances Company relied on their scale advantages to strangle Zhengxin.
These two companies are the largest domestic manufacturers of automotive sound and heat insulation parts, and automotive electrical equipment and electrical circuits.
Although the domestic automobile industry has stagnated in recent years, China is still the world's factory. For foreign automobile companies, these two companies have rapidly risen by virtue of the low technical content of these two parts and the low domestic labor costs, and have done very well in the industry market segments.
Zhengxin originally had good cooperation with them when the A4 was in mass production. But this time, I don’t know what happened, and my attitude suddenly took a 180-degree turn.
Wang Han didn't understand this.
Although in previous cooperation, Zhengxin bargained very hard. But in business, this is normal. You can raise the price from the ground up, and I can pay you back on the ground. Procurement by any large company has to be achieved through friction, and there's nothing wrong with that.
Everyone we cooperated with before was very good. It stands to reason that when new products come off the production line, using their accessories is equivalent to sending money to your doorstep. It shouldn't be like this now.
Li Fanyu was stunned after hearing Wang Han’s report; these two companies were a bit suspected of being high-profile.
{This chapter is particularly grateful to Lan Kou Zhong for his suggestions in the book review area, part of which quoted his comments. As an author who is not in the professional field but writes industrial articles, I hope to get suggestions and criticism from people in the industry. The supervision and encouragement of my friends are my greatest help in improving the depth of this article. Ling, the number of words in this paragraph is stuck, no charge...}(To be continued.)
