14 auto and motorcycle companies in Japan will jointly set up an "International Standards Symposium" to unify specifications in terms of versatile parts and in-vehicle semiconductors to reduce parts development and production costs to enhance competition in Japanese autos. force. In 1993, the world economy was in a downturn. In order to control the cost of automobile manufacturing, European companies frequently designed general-purpose parts. After that, they launched their own platform-based strategies, which have been developed to the present. Subsequently, many companies are also following the strategy of promoting the platform. In fact, during this period, car companies have been trying to use the sweetness of parts and components.
For the recent cooperation between 14 Japanese car companies and inter-firm cooperation, it is nothing more than cooperation between OEMs and cooperation between OEMs and component companies. It is understood that at present, Volkswagen and Daimler and other vehicle companies are working together with large component manufacturer Bosch in Europe to standardize parts to reduce the development and production costs of components.
It is an indisputable fact that the auto parts are platformized and generalized. It is an indisputable fact that the scientific research forces of all parties are jointly researching, developing, upgrading and innovating, which not only enhances the scientific and technological content but also reduces the development, manufacturing, procurement and use costs. At the same time, component suppliers will no longer lead to disorderly competition due to price reduction.
“Parts standardization is conducive to improving the research and development efficiency of the vehicle, shortening the development cycle, reducing procurement costs, reducing quality risks, assembly processes, manufacturing costs of OEMs, etc.†said Ning Xiaoyang, chief engineer of China Auto Parts Industry Corporation.
However, some experts pointed out that this large-scale component generalization will also bring certain risks.
Since the pre-completion of components requires a large number of market test validation, design, and repeated testing, this technology reduces costs and requires customer complaints due to potential quality issues. After the parts are generalized, once the parts have problems, it is easy to cause a chain recall event.
As early as 2009 to 2010, the recall of Toyota was the quality problem of the parts supplied by the suppliers. The common platform of the parts involved in the same platform involved many models, resulting in a large number of recalls. During the same period, the three car companies announced the recall of the parts produced by the same parts manufacturing company and announced the recall on the same day. It is rare in the history of Chinese car recalls.
At the same time, some people are worried that the generalization of parts will have an impact on China's own brands and China's parts industry. Chen Guangzu, a well-known expert in the automotive industry, believes that the generalization of parts and components will have a positive effect on the development of China's parts industry. He said that it is no longer the age of purchasing goods, and strategic alliances are very important. We still have the confidence to compete in the international competition of basic components. In addition, any car company in the processing of parts processing, will certainly choose high quality, local enterprises, will not be far-reaching, in order to achieve the purpose of reducing costs.
Chen Guangzu said that in the past 80% of the parts and components were processed by the automakers. With the internationalization of the auto industry, the energy of the automakers is now concentrated on scientific research and vehicle development. Apple never develops spare parts, they develop integrated system software.
