Chapter Eighty-Four: Getting to Know the Newcomer at the Machinery Exhibition 3

"There is no completely fixed method and requirements for the early layout design of the engine plant, but the design direction of the plant will be different for different site conditions, manufacturing systems, products and equipment.

At present, when domestic design institutes and manufacturers design factory layout, they mainly design factory layout based on the experience of personnel and subjectivity, which is highly subjective, and the actual operation of each specialty is calculated separately and the actual operation of the design is difficult to display. ”

Yang Quan sat on the sofa in the hotel, holding a book and reading it with relish, and the books on the layout of the engine factory building were rare. Today I happened to hunt a copy, and I don't know how time has passed.

As the core of two-wheeled vehicles and four-wheeled vehicles, the design and construction of engine plants are indispensable. The engine plant has a machining and assembly workshop, and most of the equipment should be automatic processing equipment. These equipment will involve water, electricity, gas and other energy consumption requirements, and the supporting tools, inspection tools, laboratories and maintenance areas must be taken into account.

Therefore, pre-project planning is crucial for engine plants. It involves related points, Yang Quan has been in contact with it, after all, he has also done it in a Japanese engine factory before. But how to plan it made him scratch his head.

The pre-planning of the engine only involves the process line and process planning of the production line, the pre-planning of logistics, the planning of plant civil engineering, the planning of public power, the planning of production auxiliary rooms and office auxiliary rooms, etc.

Yang Quan took out a pen and wrote down the two engine models and design production capacity of the Liberty and the Liberty in a notebook. Several major parts of the cylinder block, cylinder head, crankshaft, connecting rod, etc. are planned to be produced by themselves, but they should also take into account the manufacturing cost, the initial investment of funds and the situation of the parts manufacturer before a comprehensive evaluation.

If the supplier of the crankshaft can be stable and the price is more advantageous than Yangfan Factory's own production, Yang Quan has no reason not to choose their products. For OEMs, there are only two ways to get the parts they need, homemade or outsourced, but the most important thing in either way is to get the best cost.

After years of development of the world's automotive industry, OEMs and parts companies have finally formed two models.

Represented by European and American companies such as GM and Ford, the cooperation model is based on the market competition mechanism. Or, like Japanese and Korean manufacturers, we can stabilize the supply model in the system by taking a stake in parts manufacturers, with property rights as the link.

Although Yang Quan has worked in Japan for many years, he has never agreed with the selection of suppliers in the system of Japan and South Korea.

Due to the closed geographical factors of the island country and the outstanding strength of the manufacturing industry, RB has many parts processing plants, and has formed its own independent supply system by locking in the parts manufacturers and has begun stable and long-term cooperation.

Its disadvantage lies in the formation of a relatively stable and fixed supply system, which is not conducive to stimulating the motivation of parts enterprises to reduce costs. The relationship between everyone is too close, the bargaining and the like are too ruthless, and the next time we meet, we are embarrassed to karaoke together.

Domestic enterprises are to pass on the market cost pressure to parts manufacturers, suppliers may in order to obtain orders for loss quotations, which will eventually bring about quality decline and other problems, and ultimately hurt the common interests of both parties.

According to the trend direction of later generations, everyone learns from each other, Japan and South Korea have gradually opened up the supplier system to welcome powerful partners, and Europe and the United States have also begun to invest in parts manufacturers to control more partners. Some of the domestic independent automobile factories have thrown off the burden and started slimming, and some have continued to harvest and gain strength.

The most important thing is to choose the right path for development.

Returning to the topic of plant design and construction, Yang Quan read it roughly again, and was ready to take a time to take a closer look. I only knew about this arrangement before, but I didn't think about why the reason was. After reading it from beginning to end, I thought about the factory arrangement in my previous life and suddenly realized the design.

From the point of view of experience, it is still very necessary to hire an experienced design and research institute, which is not only a waste of time and money, but also may be demolished after being built.

Putting down the book, Yang Quan remembered the one from the Daihatsu Automobile Power Division.

Daihatsu Automobile was first founded in 1907 with the original purpose of producing and selling internal combustion engines as the Sail Free Engine Plant. In 1951, it was renamed Daihatsu Automobile Industry Co., Ltd., and in 98 it was finally acquired by Toyota and became a member of Toyota.

Daihatsu mainly produces small cars, and its market share in RB and Southeast Asia is still very high, but it is not very loud in China. But as long as it mentions Xiali, it is a brand that is well-known from 70 years old to 20 years old. The brand is derived from Daihatsu's technology platform.

In 1986, TJ Automobile decided to develop the taxi and private car market, and introduced Daihatsu Motor's CHA-Rade car manufacturing technology through technology transfer. In that year, the first Xiali hatchback was produced, and the era of economy cars began. Since then, it has been an instant hit, and has occupied the top few sales lists for a long time. In the past 20 years of mass production, Xiali's total sales output has reached more than 1.5 million units.

Dafabet's own power system is even more praised by Yang Quan, how to cooperate with such a person who has worked in the power division for many years, Yang Quan is very much looking forward to the next chemical changes in Yangfan Factory.
