Perfection of Rebirth

Chapter 814 Assembly Workshop
The last workshop Jiang Hui went to today was the final assembly workshop. This workshop is estimated to be among the four major automobile workshops, the workshop that ordinary people know the most about, and it is also the workshop that is the most intuitive and understandable.

The so-called assembly workshop, in a simple understanding, is to assemble various parts together to form a complete car.

These words seem simple, but in fact, there is still a lot of learning to do.

Regarding the technical content of assembly, it may be better to understand its importance by giving an example of a confidential machine tool.

It is said that a domestic machine tool company bought a high-precision machine tool from Germany. After the German manufacturer installed the equipment and did some training, it withdrew.

The company itself is a machine tool maker, so it wanted to disassemble the German machine tool for research, but when it was disassembled and reassembled, it was found that the accuracy of the machine tool had dropped.

No matter how much I tossed and tossed later, I couldn't reach the original accuracy, so I had to spend money to ask the German manufacturer to come and disassemble and reassemble it again, so that the accuracy reached the standard.

There are so many auto parts, it doesn't seem to matter which part is installed first and which one is installed last, but it may affect the matching accuracy.

Fastening various parts will inevitably use bolts and nuts. How much torque should be used to tighten them?
Excessive force will not only affect the disassembly, but may also cause other problems.

If you use less force, let alone, it is very likely that you will use it, and it will loosen someday.

People who founded their own brands in the early years may find that, after using it, there is an abnormal sound in the car, which is probably caused by loose screws.

Even, many companies, or even all companies, will buy competitors' real cars and disassemble them for comparison to see the gap between them.

However, it is easy to disassemble, and when you install it, you will find a bunch of extra parts, and you can't install it anyway, and you don't even know where these parts should be installed.

This situation has not only happened to independent brands, but also to joint ventures.

After all, the final assembly process of each company will not be exactly the same. It is difficult for a company, even a high-level company, to disassemble and reinstall another car company's products to completely restore it.

"Mr. Jiang, the workshop we are in now is the workshop with the largest area among the four major workshops, that is, the assembly workshop. The construction speed of the assembly workshop is expected to be the fastest, and basically there is no need to use too many large-scale equipment. The installation is expected to be completed in two months," explained Pi Wei.

After all, the assembly workshop is just an assembly workshop, and it mainly relies on people to assemble the workshop. The equipment used is mainly relatively small equipment such as various wrenches and nut tightening equipment.

"How are our workers recruited?".

The assembly shop is the workshop with the most workers, and even the number of workers in an assembly shop is more than the number of stamping, welding and painting shops combined.

Although there are some "unmanned workshops" abroad, the investment is too large.

In Tianchao, even ten years later, whether it is an independent brand or a joint venture, the assembly workshop will basically rely on manual work.

Of course, when Brilliant Motors develops and grows, it is not impossible to consider building one or two unmanned factories among the dozen or so factories, but it will definitely not be so fast now.

So Jiang Hui is very concerned about the recruitment and training of workers.

It is said that talents are the most important in the 21st century. This is really not a bragging.

Fortunately, after 30 years of reform and opening up in China, and the rapid development of the automobile industry in the past ten years, a large number of industrial workers have been trained. Otherwise, it is not so easy to recruit thousands of workers at once.

"We have already recruited a shift of workers, most of whom are technical school students. They will officially join the job after graduation in June this year. Then we will train for a period of time, and we will basically be able to catch up with the mass production of our models. The monitors of each production line We poached the personnel above and above from companies such as Honda, Toyota, and Nissan, and they have already been in place one after another," Pi Wei explained.

In the current automobile industry, except for a few ultra-high-end brands such as Ferrari and Rolls-Royce, all other automobile manufacturers use assembly lines for production.

Pipeline is to divide a repeated process into several sub-processes, and each sub-process can run in parallel with other sub-processes.

The assembly line divides the production process of the product into individual links, the division of labor between workers is more detailed, the quality and output of the product are greatly improved, and the standardization of the production process and products is greatly promoted.Manufactured goods are mass-produced.

The emergence of the assembly line production method has made each production post standardized and versatile.

As a result, the history that only a few skilled workers can produce cars has been completely overturned.

When the hands of a pair of black coal diggers can also create a "mysterious car", it means that the work efficiency of the most ordinary manual laborer has been raised above the level of a skilled worker.

This is the credit and victory of the assembly line production method itself.

Thanks to this, otherwise thousands of high-level skilled workers will be recruited at once, and I really don't know where to recruit them.

"There are many kinds of parts assembled in the assembly workshop. I think everyone can fully study how to fully improve the production efficiency."

For the assembly workshop of an automobile company, efficiency is the most concerned issue when the correct loading is satisfied.

There are hundreds to thousands of workstations in the entire assembly workshop. How to arrange personnel and allocate time for each workstation is a matter of knowledge.

Even, island companies have extended the project of "working hours management" specifically for this purpose.

"The layout of the assembly workshop, I personally hired a few experts from Toyota Motor to design it. Although it can't be said to be the most advanced in the world, our level is at least the mainstream level." Regarding Jiang Hui's question , Kato replied proactively.

Toyota's production and management system has been the source of Toyota's core competitiveness and high efficiency for a long time, and it has also become a model for international business management to emulate.

For example, Kanban management, a feature of Toyota Production Management, has been adopted by companies around the world.Today, many large companies in the world are learning from Toyota's management model and have established their own management systems in an attempt to achieve benchmark surpassing. World-renowned companies such as General Electric, Ford, and Chrysler have joined the ranks.

Although Toyota is an island company, but they can achieve this level, Brilliant Motors also went back and learned from it obediently.

Stones from other hills, can learn.

There is still truth to this statement!
