Since the beginning of the year, Beijing Hyundai has continued its fiery sales momentum and almost continuously refreshed its monthly sales record. As of the end of April, Beijing Hyundai’s cumulative sales this year have exceeded 150,000, jumping to fourth place in car companies. In the month of April, Beijing Hyundai broke through 50,000 sales thresholds historically to reach 50,217 vehicles.
Where does Beijing's modern competitiveness come from? Recently, the reporter from the Nippon Newspaper visited Beijing Hyundai’s two supporting companies—Beijing Johnson and Beijing Wandu. From one aspect, the rapid growth of Beijing’s modernity is inextricably linked to the possession of a high-quality component supporting team.
Beijing Johnson Controls is Beijing's most modern seat supplier. The main supporting models are Elantra, Elantra and Sonata, with an annual production capacity of 400,000 sets. According to Li Zhenbao, operations manager of Beijing Johnson Controls, from January to April this year, influenced by the growth of Beijing’s modern high-speed, Beijing Johnson’s production volume in the first four months increased by 74%.
It is worth mentioning that although Beijing Hyundai's orders have soared, Beijing Johnson has not yet appeared out of stock. Li Renbao said that when Beijing Hyundai’s sales volume was good in the first quarter, Beijing Johnson started the flexible operation mechanism, increased process technology and staff, increased production capacity by 10%, and ensured timely delivery.
On the basis of ensuring timely delivery, Beijing Johnson Controls the quality of its products. In the production workshop of Beijing Johnson, the reporter saw that the efficient and safe production and quality supervision display was placed in the most prominent position. According to Liu Chunfang, Beijing-based quality manager of Johnson Controls, Johnson has also formed its own BOS (BUSINISS OPERATION SIYTERM) in its global operations. This system covers not only the conventional TS169 proprietary quality standard, but also the safe and healthy SOUN414001 standard, and it also meets the system requirements of the occupational safety and health assessment standard 180081.
Similarly, as one of the modern providers in Beijing, Wandu, which has a 30-year history, is mainly engaged in the production and supply of chassis parts systems. There are seven production bases in China, mainly providing brakes for Beijing Hyundai, Dongfeng Yueda and Shanghai GM. Steering gear. At present, 65% of Beijing Wandu's business comes from Beijing Hyundai. At the same time as Beijing’s Hyundai realized its growth, this year’s single-month sales in Wandu also increased by 15% year-on-year.
In addition to ensuring product quality, having advanced production technology and research and development capabilities has also made Beijing Wandu one of the most competitive chassis supporting companies in China. In the piston assembly line, the reporter saw that the assembly of the piston and the ground iron is a fully automatic device. The operator can perform the loading and assembling work only. All assembly and inspection work is done automatically by the equipment. Beijing Wandu's production equipment is imported from Japan. At present, there are four production lines that have been highly automated. At the same time, Mando Corporation has a research center in Beijing and owns an automobile test track that is usually only equipped by a car manufacturer.
According to the current development momentum, Beijing Modern’s sales this year are likely to exceed 450,000, posing a challenge to the supply capacity of supporting enterprises. It is reported that in the first half of the year, Beijing Wandu has invested 40 million yuan for capacity expansion, and will invest another 20 million to 30 million yuan in the second half of the year. Beijing Johnson also adjusted its production capacity. Last year, Beijing Hyundai occupied about 170,000 units (sets) of its total capacity. This year, Beijing Johnson has raised this target to 200,000 units (sets).
