Chapter 1833 Auto Mechanic

After discussing with Wu Disheng some specific details of Tianyin Automobile R&D Center's establishment in Shenyang, the two had another lunch in the cafeteria together.

In the afternoon, Duan Yun drove directly to Jinbei Automobile Factory to inspect the current production situation of the factory.

Factory director Zhao Xiyou was also very happy with Duan Yun's arrival. He first led him to the production workshop for a tour, and then reported the current production situation.

"...Mr. Duan, to put it bluntly, our factory is short of orders. If we operate at full capacity according to the current situation, we can produce at least 300 to 500 units per month. If the supply of parts and components in the later period can keep up, monthly There is no problem in producing 1000 units." Walking in the aisle of the workshop, Zhao Xiyou said to Duan Yun: "The production and sales targets have two legs, and there are no orders. For cost considerations, I can only temporarily reduce production capacity. You left this place. For more than two months, the production line has been running at full capacity for less than 1/3 of the time. Most of the time, the workers can only do some equipment maintenance and cleaning work for the time being. If this is the case for a long time, this year will definitely lose money... "

"I know this, everything is difficult at the beginning, and now I am trying to find a way." Duan Yun pondered for a while, and then said: "I estimate that the problem of sales will take at least three months to half a year to improve, but during this time We can't be idle either, I have a few tasks to assign to you..."

"What mission?"

"In fact, it is to strengthen the training of technicians, not only the training of production workers, but also a large number of maintenance workers. In the future, they may be stationed all over the country." Duan Yun said.

In fact, Duan Yun is well aware of the current situation of Jinbei Factory even if he does not come to visit, because before the sales volume is opened, the stalls are now so large, and the workers and factory equipment must be in an idle state. is inevitable.

If it is some old car companies, this situation will definitely not happen, because even if the sales of new models cannot be opened, they can still rely on the old models to make money. As long as there is a model that sells well in China, workers and equipment will Will not be idle.

But the current situation of Jinbei Automobile Factory is very embarrassing. The previous Jinbei Automobile Factory mainly produced 130 trucks and Sea Lion vans.

Now it is still a van because it is actually a shell car imported from Japan. Almost all the key parts are imported from abroad, which consumes too much foreign exchange. Now it has been basically stopped. As for the 130 trucks of Jinbei, the market competition It is too intense. It can be said that it is being manufactured all over the country, including BJ130, Shenyang 130, Tianjin 130, Shanxi 130, Chengdu 130, Guangzhou 130, Jianghuai 130 and dozens of models. In order to lower the price, Shenyang Jinbei had to cut prices one after another. So much so that now it is selling one to lose one, so now Jinbei 130 trucks are also in a state of stagnation in production.

Originally, Jinbei Automobile Factory thought that the Volvo project was a cash cow, and hoped that the stars and moons would finally realize mass production. However, the reality gave them a sap, so that the morale of the factory is relatively low now, which also brought a lot of trouble to Zhao Xiyou's management work. some difficulties.

Therefore, in the face of such a situation, in order to improve the work of workers and avoid idleness of various equipment resources, training excellent and high-level auto production technicians and maintenance workers has become an option for Duan Yun.

Although the automation level of the Volvo production line introduced at present is relatively high in China, there are still many products that require manual processing and assembly by workers. The domestic cars produced by the former Jinbei Automobile Factory and the assembly of Sea Lion vans are not of high technical level. Some excellent old workers, but the number of these excellent craftsmen is still very small.

So after the start of the Volvo project, most of the current workers in the factory are new workers who entered the factory through various channels. Although these young people are basically motivated and eager to learn, for modern car production like Volvo, they are Many of the technologies are simply not up to standard.

Therefore, it is also very important to train skilled workers during this period. Duan Yun also worked in state-owned enterprises before, and the importance of guiding technicians to a company is very important. If a company wants to be really strong, it must have a large number of technical backbones.

As for training a large number of maintenance workers, the main purpose is to meet the maintenance needs of after-sales cars nationwide after Volvo 4S stores are rolled out across the country in the future.

At present, domestic auto repair workers are very popular, and their income is basically several times that of ordinary workers. Skilled workers can easily earn hundreds or even thousands of yuan a month, which is far higher than the average income level in China.

However, it is not easy to enter the auto repair industry, because there are very few domestic auto repair shops, except for some first- and second-tier cities and provincial capitals, other cities even have only one or two auto repair shops. The reason for this situation is on the one hand It is because there are not many car users in China, and the people who can afford cars are either rich or expensive, or they are public cars purchased by the government and departments, so the number of auto repair shops cannot be too many.

From another point of view, there are no professional auto repair schools in China. Some auto companies’ factory-run technical schools also provide car repair training, but this kind of training is very limited, and almost all of them focus on domestic models. Let them repair imported and joint venture brands of cars. On the one hand, they do not have this technology, and at the same time they do not have the corresponding maintenance equipment.

Therefore, from the perspective of car after-sales maintenance, Duan Yun needs to train a group of skilled auto mechanics to be stationed in Volvo 4S stores across the country in the future.

However, in order to prevent these auto mechanics from changing jobs or opening their own repair shops in the future, Duan Yun intends to let them only learn the technology of specializing in Volvo cars and trucks, and all related parts of the car will not be easily sold to other repair shops. Although somewhat selfish, it is the best solution for safeguarding Tianyin Group's interests.

"How many auto mechanics do you need to train?" Zhao Xiyou asked.

"I estimate that in the next one or two years, we will train at least 2000 full-time auto mechanics..." Duan Yun thought for a while and said.

"So many maintenance workers?" Zhao Xiyou was shocked when he heard this.

In fact, as far as the current Jinbei market is concerned, their maintenance team, old and young, is only more than 30 people. This even counts the old maintenance workers who have retired and rehired. More professional auto mechanics.
