Anchai's domestic DE-18 diesel engine development has made progress

Leaders attach importance to product development

"This year's first prototype will be able to go offline smoothly. The time when the company's DE-18 diesel engine was introduced to the market was only two to three years away from the time when the Japanese Daihatsu original machine was introduced to the market. Such a short time difference is still in the history of the company's patent cooperation. In the first case, in the past, the time when the patent machine was introduced and introduced to the market was 8 to 10 years later than the time when the patented new product was introduced to the market.” The person in charge of Anchai said.

The results have been so fast. In addition to the intensive implementation of both Anchai and Daihatsu, the focus and promotion of the main leaders of China State Shipbuilding Corporation is the key to the success of the project. In September this year, Dong Qiang, Chairman of CSSC, visited Japan Daihatsu Diesel Engine Co., Ltd. After visiting the Shoushan Workshop in Dafa, Japan and having a meeting with the top management, Dong Qiang put forward specific requirements for Anchai: the recent development of DE-18 diesel engine is the top priority, concentrate and go all out to get the product as soon as possible. To the market; in the manufacturing process of DE-18 diesel engine, comprehensive improvement should be made from the aspects of process flow, production site and quality management. At the same time, he also made a comprehensive bid for the future development of Anchai and the localization of DE-18 diesel engines, and built Anchai into the same level of diesel engine manufacturing plant as Dafa Shoushan Factory; Efforts to improve the 'Anqing-Dafa' diesel engine manufacturing level, market development and service support capabilities" and other deployments. In order to bring the DE-18 domestic diesel engine to the market as soon as possible, Dong Qiang hopes that Daihatsu will give more guidance and help to Anchai.

In reviewing the whole process of the introduction of the DE-18 diesel engine, the person in charge of the Anchai Company introduced that the leaders of the CSSC Group also attached great importance to the project. In July 2014, Wu Qiang, the general manager of CSSC, met with Japan’s Daihatsu President Harada Yoshida in Beijing, and proposed the introduction of DE-18 diesel engine on the basis of promoting strategic reciprocity. In December of the same year, during his visit to Japan, Wu Qiang held further talks with the senior executives of Dafa and reached a consensus on the introduction of new models. In May of this year, Wu Qiang attended the “Anchai·Dafa Cooperation History and Prospects and Dafa New Product Technology Introduction Conference” and personally witnessed the signing of the license agreement between Anchai and Daihatsu DE-18 diesel engine.

The concern and attention of leaders at all levels of CSSC has provided a strong driving force for the introduction and development of DE-18 diesel engines, and also pointed out the direction for Anchai to stabilize its main business and continue to develop.

Comprehensive deployment, practical improvement management

In order to speed up the pace of entering the market for DE-18 diesel engines, we will effectively implement the requirements of the “Comprehensive Benchmarking Dafa Shoushan Workshop, Focusing on Improving Management and Creating a New Model DE-18 Diesel Engine” proposed by the leaders of CSSC, September. On the 24th, Anchai held a meeting of department heads to study and discuss Dong Qiang’s important speech during his visit to Japan. On October 27th, Anchai Company also deployed various tasks for the clear instructions of “making the DE-18 diesel engine into a fine product”. On October 30th, Anchai Company specially set up quality classrooms. The main leaders of the company focused on the requirements of “targeting and upgrading” and analyzed the current problems of Anchai Company with the theme of “quality and customers” and proposed improvements. The direction. In order to let all employees feel the concern of the group leaders and attach importance to the DE-18 diesel engine project, and boost confidence, Anchai also broadcasted the requirements of Dong Qiang through broadcast, electronic screen and bulletin board. Form a tight and orderly working atmosphere.

Through extensive solicitation of opinions and multiple rounds of revisions, on November 3, Anchai officially launched the “ABC+ Activities” program based on the “ABC activities”. The original "ABC event" was a phased event. From May 2009 to May 2011, Anchai Company under the guidance of the Japanese Daihatsu Shouyama Plant Changshichi, planned to carry out "5S management as the entry point. "ACD is Best in China" is an activity that aims to build one of the best companies in the field of on-site management in the same industry. "ABC+Events" is an activity that promotes the management of the Dafa Shoushan Workshop against the Dafa Shoushan Workshop on the basis of the "ABC Activities". The program covers eight aspects, 27, and 149 improvement projects, including improvement measures and promotion nodes for safety, quality, technology, cost, efficiency, marketing, talent, and service.

It is understood that the "ABC+ Activities" program pays more attention to the top-level design. Anchai Company established a benchmarking improvement promotion committee and office around the management level. At the same time, it contacted Dafa to set up a working group called “Help Anchai Company to Advance ABC+ Activities”, and was sent by Japan Daihatsu to improve the guidance experts. In addition, it also established The two companies have no more than one benchmarking mutual aid exchange mechanism every year. Within Anchai, an annual improvement report will be held, and a “brainstorming” seminar will be organized every quarter to effectively promote the work to achieve the goal of continuous benchmarking and continuous improvement.

Benchmark learning to create excellent quality

In order to create a boutique model, Anchai has set up three director positions for quality, technology and production projects for the localization development project of DE-18 diesel engine for the first time. After internal competition, the backbone of the youth business took up these three important tasks, and the three directors coordinated and supervised the localization development of the DE-18 diesel engine. After the signing of the DE-18 diesel engine license contract, Anchai also sent a study group consisting of first-line management and operation personnel such as technology, quality, production, assembly and commissioning to Japan Daihatsu for training, fully grasping the DE-18 diesel engine. The key technology of manufacturing. In the assembly process of the first prototype of DE-18, Japan Daihatsu also sent two experts to carry out the whole process guidance at the assembly and test site, which effectively guaranteed the quality of the first diesel engine. In order to ensure the cleanliness of the DE-18 diesel engine, Anchai Company put forward higher requirements for the cleanliness management of the assembly process. For the first time, it tried to implement the training system for the maintenance of the personnel. Entering the assembly site and other measures to create conditions for creating quality products.

Improving the management level and ability is the main goal of Anchai's benchmarking advanced enterprises. In the construction of the talent team, Anchai Company has established a “dual-channel” system for the development of technical personnel. Each year, no less than 60 people are trained in Japan, and Japanese Daihatsu experts are invited to the company for guidance. In addition, Anchai Company has carried out a series of innovative explorations in terms of concepts and systems. In terms of quality construction, learn and promote application management tools such as APQP (product quality advanced planning), PPAP (production parts approval procedure), FMEA (potential failure mode and consequence analysis); when quality problems occur, implement the “quality problem suspension production system” "Concentrate on the rapid and effective resolution of quality problems in the production process; regularly carry out quantitative evaluation of supplier quality assurance capabilities to help suppliers identify and manage quality risk points." In terms of production efficiency improvement, real-time online monitoring (DNC) is implemented on the working conditions of key equipment, and the key component machining and machine assembly and commissioning efficiency are increased by 10% to 20% year by year. On-site management, promote the visual control of production operation control and strengthen kanban management. On the customer service, explore the creation of an after-sales service online interactive platform.

“Take the standard to learn Japanese Daihatsu to strengthen internal management, improve product quality and service level is not only the requirements put forward by the group leaders, but also the guarantee for the excellent quality of the DE-18 diesel engine built by Anchai, and it is Anchai to enhance the competitiveness and achieve comprehensive development. Urgent demand," said the head of Anchai. At present, Anchai has taken the development of DE-18 diesel engine as the first step of “reengineering” and supported the new round of development.
