Key points of automobile parts in vehicle production cost co

With the continuous development of the global automobile market and the increasingly fierce competition, major automobile manufacturers must effectively manage and control their production costs in order to improve their market competitiveness and profitability. In the whole vehicle production, the cost of parts accounts for a large proportion. Therefore, optimizing the selection, procurement and management of automobile parts has become a key link to reduce the production cost of the whole vehicle.

1. Cost control in parts design stage

Standardization and modularization: By realizing the standardization and modularization design of parts, the development cycle can be greatly shortened, the manufacturing process can be simplified, and the cost can be effectively reduced. At the same time, it also provides convenience for subsequent mass production and supply chain management.

Application of Lightweight Materials: Replacing traditional steel with new materials (such as aluminum alloy, carbon fiber, etc.) with lighter weight can not only reduce the weight of the car body, improve fuel economy or cruising range, but also indirectly save energy consumption during transportation.

2. The importance of purchasing strategy

Supplier selection and management: it is very important to establish a stable long-term cooperative relationship and choose a supplier with reliable quality and reasonable price to control the cost of parts. In addition, preferential price terms can be further obtained through centralized procurement or signing framework agreements.

Global procurement: Taking advantage of the resource differences between different regions and implementing global procurement strategy will help to find the source of raw materials with more cost-effective advantages.

3. Efficiency improvement on the production line

Lean production mode: introduce the concept and technical means of lean production, such as JIT(Just In Time) production mode, reduce inventory backlog and avoid capital occupation; TPM (Total Production Maintenance) keeps the equipment in good working condition and reduces downtime.

Application of automation technology: invest in advanced production equipment and technology, such as robot welding and automatic inspection system of assembly line, to improve production efficiency and ensure the consistency of product quality.

4. After-sales service and recycling

Extend product life cycle: provide high-quality after-sales service and support, enhance user satisfaction, promote the development of old car renovation business, and thus create new value growth points.

Reuse of spare parts under circular economy: It is environmentally friendly and economical to encourage consumers to participate in the recycling plan of used vehicles and put reusable high-quality spare parts back on the market.

In short, in the whole automobile industry chain, from design to production to sales and service, we should pay attention to cost control, and as one of the core elements, the reasonable and efficient management of parts is directly related to whether enterprises can occupy a favorable position in the fierce market competition.
