"As a pilot enterprises, if the quality is not good in the pass, it will discredit to the remanufacturing industry, how will the Fast promises of social responsibility it?" Recently, Shaanxi Fast Group remanufacturing company manager Lv Juntao This asks journalists.
Fast Remanufacturing Factory
In March 2008, the National Development and Reform Commission announced the first batch of 14 pilots of auto parts remanufacturing enterprises. The scope of remanufacturing is tentatively classified into five categories: engines, transmissions, generators, starters and steering gear. As a leading player in the heavy-duty transmission industry, Fast has become one of 14 pilot companies.
Since the start of the remanufacturing project in May 2008, in the past three years, Fast has fully unveiled the remanufacturing production process. By the end of 2010, the first remanufactured transmission was successfully put on the line and successfully passed the online factory inspection. The major performance indicators and safety and quality indicators have reached the original product factory standards.
Those who have a heavy burden and who have a strong sense of social responsibility who understand the remanufacturing industry know how difficult it is. Obstacles to the concept of consumption, low skill levels, and inadequate policies are three major problems faced by the remanufacturing industry. The large investment but low profitability, the lack of previous experience and the lack of a unified old parts recovery mechanism, make many companies unwilling to get involved in the remanufacturing industry.
Fast did not resign and complain and took the burden and took a lot of energy. As the head of the group, Li Dakai, chairman of the Shaanxi Fast Group, appealed on multiple occasions and should vigorously support the development of auto parts remanufacturing enterprises, and proposed “remanufacturing†at the “two sessions†in 2010. Proposal. Li Dakai said: "At present, the concept of corporate remanufacturing is the most recognized thing for the market."
“The chairman Li Dakai has always stressed to us that the company has three major responsibilities: creating value for the society, creating wealth for the company and seeking for the well-being of the employees. The first purpose of the company’s survival is to serve the progress of the society and the continuous improvement of people’s living standards. It is the first responsibility of the company. Second, we create benefits for the company itself and employees for the well-being." Lv Juntao told reporters. It is with this philosophy that Fast has always put priority on creating value for society.
Therefore, at the time of the pilot project, Fast was led by Li Dakai and Group Deputy General Manager Ma Xuyao ​​established a project team for the deputy leader. The company sent people to carry out a year and a half of research, based on the three principles of technical feasibility, efficiency, priority, cost control, formally determined the development of remanufacturing projects. "The previous research, planning and development ideas, and the subsequent progress of work, are led by the company's leadership personally conducted by technical personnel." Lv Jun Tao said.
According to Lu Juntao’s introduction, there are many differences in the remanufacturing model “domesticated from repair but higher than repair†advocated in China. In other words, the current remanufacturing with Chinese characteristics is different from that of foreign countries but it has no rules to follow and it is difficult to start. “Li Dakai, chairman of the board, has always emphasized that doing business is like running a person. First of all, it is necessary to fulfill their responsibilities.†Lu Juntao added. It is precisely because of this strong sense of social responsibility that the Fast Group knows that the road ahead is difficult and is still embarking on the journey of remanufacturing.
Strict quality control and improved customer awareness The users' misconceptions about remanufactured products are even contradictory, which is the first problem facing remanufacturing concepts and product promotion. To solve this problem, we must first strengthen the propaganda of the concept of remanufacturing. As a remanufactured company, it is indispensable for its employees to have sufficient knowledge and confidence in remanufacturing.
"Fast employees' perception of remanufacturing can be said to be similar to the company's course of development. Both experienced deeper and more steadfast processes." Lv Juntao said with a smile. From the initial planning of the Fast remanufacturing project to the formal operation of production, Lu Juntao personally experienced. Now that he is familiar with the field of remanufacturing, he is also very passionate about it. “The concept of remanufacturing is already deeply rooted in the people's mind,†said Lu Juntao.
"The company trains service personnel every year to provide uninterrupted training. Each year, Fast's trainers travel around the country and they are almost all outside the country," Lu Juntao told reporters. Fast service stations and distributor networks throughout the country not only contribute to the propagation of the concept of remanufacturing, but also solve the problem of old parts that have been troubled by other companies, and even sell and promote Fast's remanufactured products. Provides strong support.
It is necessary to increase the awareness of customers of auto parts remanufactured products and to promote the remanufactured logo. Fast is the participating drafting company of "Automotive Parts Remanufacturing Product Marking Specification". All remanufactured products are marked in the prominent position as "remanufactured products". This is actually the common practice of European and American countries. It is to safeguard consumers’ right to know and choose.
"Faster's remanufactured transmissions are marked on the left by the company's logo on the left, and on the right is a recycled logo, which is the mandatory marking for the remanufacturing of auto parts," said Lu Juntao.
Strict quality control is also the basis for improving user awareness. The quality of the product directly affects the user’s awareness of the product, and quality is the key to the user’s perception of the remanufactured product. "Although there are no rules to follow in the process and other aspects, remanufacturing must first ensure product quality. This is also the company's leadership has repeatedly stressed." Lv Juntao told reporters. To this end, Fast has actively carried out work on remanufacturing processes, technological research on materials, optimization of material recycling processes, and strictly implemented relevant national testing standards to improve the quality of remanufactured products.
As employees of remanufacturers, they clearly know that remanufacturing is different from previous repairs and is derived from repairs rather than repairs. Therefore, the testing standards for remanufactured parts are much higher than those of previous restoration standards. At the same time, Fast's transmission assembly is strictly controlled during the assembly and repair process. The factory inspection of Fast remanufactured product assembly is almost the same as the technical requirements for new products. The shift performance, sealing performance, and product appearance requirements are almost the same as new products. This ensures that Fast remanufactured products can really make users feel comfortable using them after entering the market.
The difficulties are not discouraged. "The domestic auto parts remanufacturing industry is almost equal to the gap, and there is a big gap with foreign countries. At present, China has basically not yet penetrated the core of people." Lv Juntao told the "Commercial Automotive News" reporter: "There are many difficulties. This requires the first generation remanufacturers to make considerable efforts."
As the first batch of remanufacturers who had “crabsâ€, Lv Juntao began contacting remanufacturing in late 2007 and early 2008. When starting other new product trials before Fast, technical personnel faced great difficulties in scientific and technological research, which required technical staff (including front-line production employees) to make great efforts.
At that time, Wei Wutao, Deputy Chief Engineer of Fast, said: “The industries we work in are much simpler than satellites and manned spacecrafts. After all, the industries we engage in are visible and touched. There is no reason why we can't do it?"
Even though they were in contact with the remanufacturing industry, the Fast people knew that they would encounter many hardships that they would have thought of and could not think of. Everyone must pay 120% of their efforts to do a good job. However, it is precisely because of the difficulty that Fast personnel believe that they can do it well. "If anyone can do it, then there is no point in the country trying this pilot. If we can't do that, then how can we contribute to China's auto industry?" said Lu Juntao.
It is this kind of confidence that has made Fast overcome one difficulty. The Fast remanufacturing system has been established little by little. The first transmission was successfully released in 2010, and now Fast has the capacity to remanufacture 200 transmissions per month. “Our staged goal is to maintain a monthly production capacity of 100 to 200 units this year. The goal in a year or two is to achieve an annual output of 15,000 transmissions.†Lu Juntao told reporters.
“Remanufacturing will become the key business of Fast in the future. Now the sales revenue of the remanufacturing business may not even reach 1%, but in the future we are confident that we can account for 20% to 30% of the Group’s sales revenue.†Li Dakai had such Say. At present, there are about 3 million FAST transmissions, of which 1.5 million are transmissions for more than three years. With the passage of time and the increase in the number of vehicles, demand for remanufacturing will increase. The exclusive 1300~1500 service points and special distributors of Fast Group provide stable channels for the return of old parts to the original factory, ensuring reverse logistics.
As a witness to the remanufacturing of automotive parts from scratch and continuous development, reporters can feel the confidence and pride of Lv Juntao as a Fast employee. “The continuous encouragement of business leaders to employees and the importance attached to our technicians, as well as the sense of mission and historical responsibility of each of our Fast employees, has laid down our work style of hard work and hard work. With enthusiasm, even if there are thousands of difficulties on the road ahead, we are confident that the remanufacturing of the transmission will become better and better,†said Lu Juntao.
