Lean management + flexible mechanism to face the firewood

In the 2014 service work conference held by Dongfeng Chaoyang Chaochai Power Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as “Zhaochao”), the chairman of the company, Fan Zhong, stated at the meeting: “In 2013, Chaochao’s engine output was conservatively estimated at more than 180,000 units. From the output point of view, Chaochao did not make any big leap, but in the two years since the system was reformed, Zhachai has undergone fundamental changes in system, mechanism, and management."

Use flexible mechanisms

The reporter found that the management of Chaochai has changed greatly and the major leaders have adjusted. It is reported that after the restructuring, the total number of employees of Chaochai was less than two-thirds of that before the reform, but the production capacity did not change.

Restructuring and diverting not only streamlined the number of employees, but more importantly, the staff’s ideological concepts were completely transformed. Fan Zhong said: “The concept of loving and dedicated people is deeply rooted in people’s minds. Before, some people always wanted to work less and make more money. Now people like this Basically, no.” On the other hand, because the compensation system is more flexible, employee income has also increased.

The mechanism is more flexible. This is one of the reasons why Zhachai, an old state-owned enterprise, is finally determined to reform. Fan Zhong analyzed the respective advantages of state-owned enterprises and private enterprises. He believes that the advantages of state-owned enterprises are that they can receive state policy support, while private enterprises have more flexible mechanisms. Looking back at Daw Chai, in the case of missed development opportunities due to various objective reasons, it turned out to be a non-state-owned holding company is not only a helpless move, but also follow the trend.

At the end of 2011, after the diversification of equity, Xinchao Chai, co-financed by Dongfeng Chaochai, Shanghai Ruru Enterprise Development Co., Ltd., Shanghai Fangyuan Investment Co., Ltd. and Shanghai Zhifu Business Service Co., Ltd., was established. During this period, Dongfeng Chaochai invested 60 million yuan, accounting for 20% of the shares of Chaochai Power; two private investment companies Shanghai Ruru and Shanghai Fangyuan invested 90 million yuan and 63 million yuan respectively, accounting for 30% and 21% of shares; Shanghai Zhirong, representing management and technical backbone, contributed 87 million yuan, accounting for 29% of the shares.

The effect of reforms is immediate. Not only does the employee's professionalism increase, but also the cost control has made great progress, turning losses into profits; the quality level has greatly improved, and the zero-kilometer failure rate has dropped dramatically. In 2012, the zero kilometer failure rate of Chaochai's products fell by 60% from the previous year; in 2013, the figure dropped by 50% again.

“The zero-kilometer failure rate is a very demanding statistical indicator. Even a lacquer bump is included in the calculation. For the engine, this process is complicated and requires long-distance transportation. In fact, many times are inevitable. Even so, 2013 Since the year of the year, Chaochao has often experienced zero data for the whole day. This has exceeded the requirements of many OEMs, said Fan Zhong.

Another management data can also prove the change of Chaochai. According to Gao Xianwei, deputy general manager of Chaochai Sales Co., Ltd., “In 2013, Chaochao’s service fee decreased by 33% compared with the same period in 2012.” This aspect is attributed to the improvement of product quality and the strict management of services. result.

Pay close attention to lean management

Since the restructuring, Chaochao has focused on lean management with the goal of pursuing excellence, hiring a professional company to serve as a lean management consultant, and under the guidance of the Five True Ideas of “True Faith, True Learning, Truthful Understanding, Real Achievement, and Outstanding Effect”. Improve quality as an entry point, implement the basic principles of “three-in-three, three-time, and three-inspection” and set up four project teams for disassembly analysis, quality improvement of self-made parts, improvement of matching parts quality, and improvement of basic management. Solve the advantages of quality problems on a full-time basis, implement and solve a number of market feedback quality problems. After these fruitful work, Chaochao has established a strict and effective quality inspection and quality assurance system. The rate of cast scrap has continued to decline, and the quality of accessories, machines and installations has greatly improved.

Zhaochai is doing a good job in the current and has a long-term perspective. The company established the Commodity Development Strategy Committee to study product planning issues, and hired first-class diesel technical experts from the United States and Japan as technical consultants to establish cooperative relations with Tianjin University, Jilin University of Technology and many other universities and national key laboratories. Demonstrate the evaluation and optimization of the existing product structure. The full range of products meets the country's four emission standards and is equipped with a national V development platform.

In the past two years, Chaochai Company has unwaveringly grasped the practical actions of management, quality, and product development. The obvious effect of improving quality, reducing the cost of three guarantees, and turning losses into profits has been recognized and supported by the employees. I feel that there are hopes for the company, its own future, its work, and its future protection.

A host plant leader who attended the Chaochai Service Work Conference told the China Industry News reporter: “Recently, Chaochao’s products have been greatly improved and it is indeed different from before.”

It is reported that the gas engine jointly developed by Chaochao Diesel Engine and Italy NGV Company has the overall performance leading the domestic similar models, and the emission meets the national five standard at the same time. Fan Zhong said that in the gas engine, Chaochao went through a detour, before the sales of bare metal to the fuel gas system supplier Chao Chai, making themselves as supporting business, and these suppliers have neither experimental equipment nor service capabilities, greatly constrained Product capabilities.

After the repositioning of Chaochai, the newly developed gas engine is different from the original theoretical air-fuel ratio gas engine. From the comprehensive consideration of power and responsiveness, the horsepower is strong and acceleration is quick. The model has been fully calibrated and tested at the vehicle manufacturer. The power performance is comparable to that of the diesel engine with the same power segment, and even stronger. Through the powerful electronic control calibration technology of NGV of Italy and the wide-oxygen controllable cell combustion gas control system tailored specifically for Zhachai, the model is superior to the domestic industry in terms of power, economy and emission. .

In the electronically-controlled diesel engine developer, Chaochao also used the borrowed brain to form a partnership with the internationally renowned AVL company and imported process quality control from a well-known Japanese engine company. This enabled the product to show strong power, reliability, durability, and intelligence. Low fuel consumption.

“I don’t want to say too much about Chaochai’s 2014 plan. Let’s see performance.” Fan Zhong said.
