In response to the problem just raised by Zhao Ke, Zhou Jingming attached great importance to the 16949 quality management system for the entire automobile industry, not just vehicle manufacturers, auto parts suppliers, as an important part of the automobile industry, are also included in the control scope of the 16949 system.

General Motors, Ford and Chrysler of the United States jointly issued a statement that if the parts suppliers cannot obtain the 16949 system certification, the three major automobile manufacturers will cancel their supplier qualifications, but Zhou Jingming cannot let the Tianming Automobile Company also issue such a statement, and the current position of the Tianming Company in the domestic automobile industry has not yet reached the extent that it can influence the entire parts supplier.

If automakers like FAW and SAIC do not act in concert with Tianming Automobile, and if Zhou Jingming rashly issues a statement similar to that of General Motors, claiming that suppliers will be disqualified if they do not obtain the 16949 system certification, then Tianming is likely to face the embarrassing situation of missing many important parts and components.

Although the domestic auto parts have developed rapidly in recent years, but not as prosperous as European and American countries, there are many suppliers with a similar monopoly nature, Tianming company either chooses him, or chooses imported parts, but such suppliers have more choices, without Tianming company, and SAIC, FAW, FAW and other companies will use their production of parts.

Although Zhou Jingming believes that with his position in the domestic automobile industry and the development trend of Tianming Automobile Company, there is basically no supplier in China who dares to offend him openly, but Zhou Jingming does not want to take such a risk, so after thinking about it, he still thinks that it is better to unite with the rest of the companies to act in unison.

After returning to the office, Zhou Jingming was just about to make a call to SAIC, and after thinking about it, he dialed the phone to Yanjing Li Mingzhe.

The phone was quickly connected, Zhou Jingming concisely explained the purpose of his call, and then continued, "Minister Li, since the 16949 quality management system was first proposed by our country, then in the establishment of this system, we should not lag behind the rest of the countries, originally I wanted to let Tianming Automobile Company be the first company to eat crabs, but considering the above problems, I think domestic car manufacturers should still act in unison, so I came to Minister Li you." ”

At the beginning of this year, Li Mingzhe was officially promoted from the director of the Industrial Policy Department to the deputy director of the Ministry of Machinery, while Chen Dongsheng, the former director of FAW, was transferred to the Ministry of Machinery and took over Li Mingzhe's position.

Li Mingzhe on the other end of the phone thought for a while, and then said, "I agree with your proposal to establish an automobile quality alliance, right, I will have people send a fax to various domestic car companies in a while, and then unify to Yanjing to organize a meeting, there should be no problem." ”

This matter itself is beneficial to the development of the automobile industry, how could Lee Ming-che disagree.

"Then thank you, Minister Li. Zhou Jingming hurriedly said gratefully.

After hanging up the phone, Zhou Jingming breathed a sigh of relief, and Li Mingzhe came forward on behalf of the Ministry of Machinery to establish the Automobile Quality Alliance.

On the other hand, after hanging up the phone, Li Mingzhe immediately asked his secretary to send a fax to various state-owned automobile manufacturers in China, informing their responsible persons to come to Yanjing to discuss the establishment of a quality alliance and the establishment of a 16949 system.

In this way, under the presence of Li Mingzhe, representatives of major domestic automobile manufacturers gathered in Yanjing, and on the 20th of that month, a temporary meeting was held, and the content of the meeting was to discuss the possibility of jointly establishing a 16949 quality management system.

The meeting was mainly chaired by Zhou Jingming, who analyzed in detail the benefits of jointly establishing the 16949 system, as well as the possible disadvantages of inconsistent action, and analyzed the car manufacturers in Europe, the United States, Japan and South Korea as examples.

"Ladies and gentlemen, in the last decade our country's automobile industry has lagged behind Europe and the United States, as well as Japan and South Korea too much, the time has entered the nineties, a new decade, is a good time for us to catch up, I hope you can support my proposal, want to change the status quo of the domestic automobile industry backward, start with the quality management system. ”

After Zhou Jingming finished speaking, Li Mingzhe was responsible for summarizing, "You have heard what Xiao Zhou just said, no matter what, the 16949 system, we must be engaged, the Ministry of Machinery and the National Bureau of Standards joint notice also explained that before the end of next year, all automobile-related manufacturing enterprises must obtain the certification of this system, since it is always necessary to engage in this, it is definitely not in line with the common interests of each other." ”

Li Mingzhe paused, and then looked at everyone, "So I raised my hands in agreement with Xiao Zhou's suggestion, I don't know what you think, if you have any opinions, put it forward now, and then we will vote by show of hands." ”

"Jointly establish the 16949 system, I must support, but I have a question, just now Xiao Zhou said that Tianming Company has begun to prepare for the construction of this system as early as last year, we SAIC, not Xiao Zhou always considered such a long-term, how should the time node be determined, can not follow the steps of Tianming Company, right?"

As soon as he said this, the representatives of the rest of the automobile manufacturers also agreed, and it is clear that in the construction of the system, Tianming Automobile Company is far ahead.

"This problem I naturally have considered, originally, our company is intended to complete the establishment of the 16949 system before June this year, and apply for the initial certification audit, considering the current situation of the rest of the brother units, if we agree to establish the automotive quality alliance, the initial certification audit time can be postponed to October this year, more than half a year, enough to complete the corresponding audit preparation. Zhou Jingming replied with a smile.

Tianming Company has only taken four months to prepare until now, and even if the rest of the companies are slow, half a year is enough for them to prepare.

"Our audit is scheduled for October, but what about the parts suppliers?" a representative from FAW asked.

"December, two months later than us, is more than enough for these suppliers. Zhou Jingming immediately replied.

Immediately afterwards, the rest of the deputies raised other questions, and Zhou Jingming answered them one by one.

"Okay, since everyone has no problem, then we will raise our hands to vote and agree to establish the Automobile Quality Alliance and jointly establish the 16949 system. Lee Ming-che looked at the crowd and asked.

As soon as Lee Ming-che finished speaking, all the delegates attending the meeting raised their right hands one after another, expressing their support for Zhou Jingming's proposal, so that all automobile manufacturers in China also reached a unified opinion on the issue of the construction of the 16949 system.
