Chapter 672 of the text has high investment and high standards

Next chapter

The design of the Lexus factory also borrowed from Lamborghini's philosophy and technical standards, and Lin Johnson spared no expense in investing in the factory and equipment.

Equipment, management and tooling, including molds, fixtures, etc., are the three best treasures to improve the level of vehicle manufacturing technology!

Among them, the stability and accuracy of the equipment are the premise and foundation. For this reason, the equipment used in the factory is a high-end foreign brand.

The body structure of Lexus is complex, in order to ensure the realization of the strongest body rigidity, there are more than 5,700 welding joints in the whole car, which exceeds the level of the same level of German car companies, and a large number of high-tensile steel plates of more than 270 megapascals and double-sided galvanized sheets are used.

And also the purchase of an automatic high-speed stamping production line manufactured by General Electric, according to the requirements it integrates the Swiss Gooder double-arm crossbar conveyor, the maximum continuous stroke can reach 15 times / minute, this line will also make the production rhythm of Lexus sedan fiercely increased by two levels, the speed is not only up, but also the quality and quality can be improved a lot.

Originally, the plant was planned to produce 30,000 cars a year, but Lin Qiangsheng's idea could not keep up with technological progress, and he found that it was possible to increase the factory's annual output by three or four times if it was built according to the most advanced concept, otherwise its production capacity would be wasted.

As a result, the original plan was overturned, and the plant was replanned to meet the production capacity of 100,000 units, making it easier to deploy the corresponding equipment manufacturers.

Soon, Dongxing North America entered the local area, most of the workers of this construction company are from China, Lin Qiangsheng has been doing everything possible to export labor to all over the world, this is also a big industry, if the Chinese do not do it, let the Filipinos do it.

Overseas workers in the Philippines send up to $7 billion a year to the country, and Filipino seafarers and construction workers are quite popular overseas.

Compared to various organizations in the Philippines, China's overseas labor market is very chaotic, and Dongxing is starting to do this market now, and the annual profits are also quite considerable. Of course, Lin Qiangsheng will never export maids. Let the Filipinos do it.

The new factory has sprung up on the outskirts of Kenosha, with the participation of hard-working domestic workers, and has also given Americans a glimpse of what it means to be "deep. Zhen speed", the new factory building was built in half a month. After 25 days, the equipment will be ready in the workshop, and this speed has also surprised many Americans, who have driven their vehicles to the suburbs and come to see the excitement when they have nothing to do.

This situation also made the general manager of Dongxing Properties North America very uneasy, and he was afraid of causing some bad associations among Americans. The American Construction Workers' Association is very powerful, and they certainly don't want Chinese people to steal jobs.

After Lin Qiangsheng found out, he hurriedly enclosed the entire factory with a huge gray net to block the prying eyes of the county citizens.

Since then, the citizens of Kenosha have given this construction company a nickname, called Juwang Company, and with the growth of Dongxing Busan Company, this name has become more and more resounding!

New employees are required to undergo rigorous training and initial screening. 1,100 workers were selected from the 3,000 employees, and they were all in temporary training centers, listening carefully to the "admonitions" given by the veteran employees about skills, work, and even life.

These old employees, who have worked longer than the age of the new employees, were collected by Lin Qiangsheng from headhunting companies, including employees of the three major automobile giants in the United States, employees of Mercedes-Benz, BMW, Volkswagen and Porsche of Germany, and Toyota and Honda of Japan, all of whom are retired old workers. Lin Qiangsheng spent a lot of money to ask them to pass on their life experience and work experience, of course, this is a big project, and the experience of these people can not only be used in this factory. In the future, it will be used in more of his inheritance.

Lin Qiangsheng has never understood the inheritance of Western technology, in the eyes of Chinese, technical experience is not taught, but done, it takes a long process, but in the West, especially the United States, this idea does not apply here. The technical experience here can be taught, and the Europeans and Americans have thoroughly studied every detail of the technical problem, studied it clearly, and then developed it, which is very frightening!

These hundreds of veteran workers will pass on their experience in all aspects to the newcomers in two months, and relatively speaking, these selected newcomers are all young people.

After that, the new employee will receive career and technical education again in their respective positions. They are asked to come together after an hour of practice and exchange experiences, and so on until they can complete any process independently, and then they return to the training center to "recharge" for a period of time after they go to work, and so on, and this period of time is called the hard training period, which lasts for 5 years.

For example, new workers who are responsible for operating the sewing machine to complete the stitching of the instrument panel will focus on training the coordination of the left and right hands. The specific training method is to complete a kitten's origami in 90 seconds with a non-dominant hand.

The seemingly simple and interesting training can make the left and right hands cooperate more tacitly in the work, and finally make the stitch spacing of the stitches, the length of each stitch, and even the distance error from the stitches to the instrument panel be controlled within 2 mm!

Every vehicle at the Lexus plant undergoes 1,700 tests before leaving the factory, and the assembly quality is required to meet the differential standard of +/- 0.1mm. After each process is processed, it needs to go through manual quality inspection. Each process has a special department to be responsible, and there will be no cross-line operation. In addition, these quality inspectors are a group of veteran employees with more than 30 years of experience.

If a problem arises during operation, the worker can pull the tandem alarm line next to him, and the entire line will be paused until the problem has been dealt with. If there is a problem that cannot be solved immediately, the vehicle will be reprocessed or simply disassembled.

Lin Qiangsheng also asked that each workshop of the Lexus factory should not leave the problem to the next workshop, which has been able to surpass many luxury brand manufacturers.

In addition to following the concept of building the highest quality car, the workshop should also be "clean and quiet" as the standard, when transporting large parts such as dashboards or engines to the assembly line, employees will use battery-powered electric vehicles, this kind of car is not only environmentally friendly but also very quiet, creating a clean and quiet workshop environment, is the premise of producing excellent quality vehicles, without such an environment, high-quality vehicles are difficult to produce, workers can not calm down, how to improve the level of technology!

The 1,200 employees of the former Kenosha Automobile Plant were screened and trained intensively, and in the end only more than 600 qualified workers remained, and then the total number of employees finally increased to 810 under the efforts of Bard and other workers' representatives, but the new 210 workers could only be regarded as temporary workers, not full-time employees.

Bud and others were also quite satisfied with the results, and the county government and the county citizens supported the establishment of the paper mill, food processing plant, and slaughterhouse without any suspense, and Lin Johnson fulfilled his promise by investing $50 million in Kenosha, and most of the remaining workers will be placed in the three factories, while some of the older employees have chosen to retire directly.

It was another sunny morning, and Bud habitually got up early, then walked around outside and went home in silence with a newspaper.

His wife was preparing breakfast for her youngest son, and looking at her silent husband, she couldn't bear to say, "Bud, you are busy for the workers, but now that everyone else has a job, you have given up your job place, why is that?" ”

Bard looked at the newspaper and said, "Someone has to quit!" ”

"Then can't you let others quit, you just take the lead?" His wife said dissatisfied.

Bud smiled and said cheerfully: "The county has a dairy company, I plan to buy a ranch to buy hundreds of cows, and I will be a dairy farmer in the future, I have a big plan, and I will eventually raise 1,000 cows!" ”

His wife asked suspiciously, "I heard that the new car factory is recruiting skilled and experienced old car workers, why don't you go?" ”

Bard was silent for a while, then said to his wife, "Don't talk about this, dear, I gave up my place to someone else, don't think about it anymore!" (To be continued.) For mobile phone users, please visit wènhttp://mnet
