As a leading industry in the global industry, the development and reform of the automobile industry have always exerted a great influence on the global economy

Ring. Especially at the end of the 20th century, the automobile industry has broken the restrictions of national regions and formed a global market and production

And drive the development of many related industries, such as highway construction, petroleum and petrochemical, machinery manufacturing, steel, electronics, and so on.

Many countries regard the automobile industry as their pillar industry. For example, China's automobile industry accounts for the total demand for machine tools every year

24% of the volume, transportation oil accounted for about 90% of the national gasoline consumption, diesel consumption accounted for 20%, steel accounted for 5%, round

Tire accounted for 40%, glass accounted for 4.5%, plastic 11%, paint accounted for 10%, to our country's national economy and related industries pull

Moving and driving have a very obvious effect, especially in the current situation of strengthening macro-control in China, it has more pull

The locomotive of consumption. The purpose of the merger and reorganization of automobile giants is to concentrate their advantages and optimize them

Resource allocation further occupies the global market, and beat competitors.

From the introduction of the basic situation of the industry, it can be seen that the foreign auto parts industry can be seen from the top, the auto industry in developed countries

New changes have taken place. From the perspective of development trend, the foreign auto parts industry has been organized into collectivization, high-tech, supply system

Integration and management globalization and other new characteristics.

1. Form a modular hierarchical supply system

To reduce production costs, simplify the automobile manufacturing process, save assembly time, the world's major automobile companies began to require

Parts factory complete sets, into the system supply, modular assembly development.As dashboard manufacturers not only produce dashboards, and

And to replace the main engine factory instrument board on the instrument, electrical parts, wiring harness, air duct, and other parts installed in the main engine factory

A dashboard module is provided, which can be loaded in this way. Modular production mode can better adapt to the diversification and individuality of automobile products

And the need for new models to be launched quickly.To rapidly develop new models, reduce costs, meet the requirements of environmental protection, safety,

Communications and other requirements, the increasing burden of R&D investment, module design, and manufacturing will be distributed to component factories, global procurement,

Implement modular fast and efficient assembly, form modular supply and demand system. Parts global procurement, a system supporting, module supply

Goods have become the trend. To simplify the automobile manufacturing process and save equipment time, automobile manufacturers in the world have begun to require zero

Component enterprises complete sets, into the system supply, and modular assembly development.

At present, the self-production rate of the world's major manufacturers is around 30%, and the rest of the parts are supplied by product quality, price, and supply

Conditions for international procurement. There are only a few large, technologically advanced component companies that can produce system modules

To direct supply to the OEMs, the manufacturer of component modules can only supply the system module branch, which becomes a secondary supply

Should be. The profit distribution of the international automotive industry chain is 5:3:2, that is, parts manufacturers account for 50% of the total profit of the automobile

Automakers account for 30 percent and sellers for 20 percent.

OEMs increasingly tend to modular and systematic procurement, a collaboration between suppliers more closely, so that the auto parts factory

Is rapidly reducing the number of parts in cars and forming new modular components. Global auto parts supplier system gradually treasure

The tower structure evolved to form three distinct hierarchies: tier 1 vendors are responsible for managing the entire supply chain, and around tier 1

Component suppliers and parts suppliers are secondary and tertiary suppliers, which makes the cooperation between supply chains more standardized.

2. Spare parts enterprises have independent research and development capabilities

Technological innovation ability becomes the key to winning in the competition. Major international component companies are participating in the simultaneous development of OEMs

Design, according to the vehicle needs to supply serialized, modular supporting products. Every major company has its research facility. The world

Major auto companies develop new models with new energy, new materials, and new technologies in key areas such as safety, environmental protection, and energy conservation.

Take the technological high ground. Parts and components enterprises advance in research and development, at least to develop with OEMs synchronous research and development, and the product development cycle is large

Shorten. The needs of vehicle manufacturers for auto parts are increasingly dependent on external independent parts plants, parts plants

The responsibility no longer only stays in the traditional sample or diagram processing state, but also undertakes the product design and development, manufacturing inspection

Complete responsibility for the inspection, quality assurance, timely delivery, and marketing services.

Major auto manufacturers have also applied aerospace, aviation, and electronic technology to auto parts and assemblies, safety technology, electricity

Sub-technologies, energy-saving technologies, and environmental protection technologies have been widely used in automobiles. Especially with electronic information technology as the representative of the new

Technology is not only widely used in automotive products, but also extends to development and design, trial production, production and management

In terms of; Not only applied to a single auto part, and has been applied to the system assembly.

3. Parts and components companies have separated, restructured, and combined

In recent years, the world's major automobile companies have reformed the supply system, the implementation of global production, global procurement, that is, more

The procurement of auto parts manufacturers changed to a few system suppliers; From single auto parts procurement to module procurement; By the real

Shift from domestic to global sourcing. The reform of purchasing system of automobile manufacturers requires auto parts manufacturers to adapt to it constantly.

Not only requires auto parts production enterprises to expand their strength, improve product development ability, system development, system supply, at the same time

It is also required to shorten the development cycle and provide high-quality cheap products.

To concentrate on the core business of vehicle assembly, vehicle manufacturing enterprises will further reduce the rate of component control and reduce

Its manufacturing quantity. Therefore, the role of parts manufacturing in the auto industry is also more important, they not only produce the vast majority

Auto parts, systems, modules, etc., and also undertake more research and development work. The auto parts industry will also move towards further concentration and monopoly.

These changes will promote the process of mergers and acquisitions and restructuring in the auto parts industry worldwide, thus reducing the number of tier 1 parts suppliers

The number. At present, the world auto parts enterprises can be roughly divided into two types of business: one is a large number of producers; The other is innovation and

Enterprises with high integration potential. The former output is high, and the product added value is low, with low prices for users, to obtain higher

Market share. The latter refers to those who specialize in a particular business area, are good at producing certain components or

Systems and products have high added value. From the perspective of development trends, such enterprises have strong innovation ability and good profitability

The view is brighter.

4, parts production lean, agile, management information and network, factory digitization

Modern auto parts production and management are based on the application of computer technology, production process automation, tool installation

Distribution and testing instruments are widely used in computer numerical control, machining centers, and robots to ensure the automation of logistics, energy flow, and information flow

The application of an advanced management system to achieve product life cycle management, to achieve the lowest cost, the highest quality optimization goal.

With ford and other large vehicle manufacturers from the traditional vertical management, the pursuit of a large and complete production mode gradually streamlined,

Specialized production mode mainly to develop complete vehicle project. The major car companies scaled back production as they increased it

Self-control rate of auto parts, implement LeanProduction.The face has been increasingly heavy since the late 1980s

Major OEMs have sought to establish a new global supply chain to reduce costs. Because OEMs cut costs

The demand has put pressure on auto parts makers, who have no choice but to expand their global supply chains.

A digital factory is the general concept of electronic computer simulation and 3D(i.e., 3D) virtual extensive networking. The main purpose of its application,

Is around the new product, the development of a complete process, production equipment (procurement) plan (plan) and its implementation, all production (work)

Total process control and continuous improvement (good). This means that the various elements of production use electricity in the planning stage

The sub-computer technology method is simulated to ensure that the final manufactured products fully meet the quality, working hours and set by the enterprise

Cost targets. To accelerate the product development speed and enhance market competitiveness, The United States Ford Motor Company plans to implement the

C3P(CAD/CAE/CAM/PIM) based integrated computer application system, a large number of IT the latest application solutions

Programs, such as CAD/CAE/CAM/PIM, DigitalFactory, ERP, etc., make the development cycle of new models from the past 36

The length of a month is shortened to 1-12 months;50% reduction of design modification in the later stage of new model development; Prototype vehicle manufacturing and testing costs reduced

50%, saving 200 million USD development cost; Global business synergy improvement; Investment returns increased by 30%.5, 5, enterprise informatization degree is improved, e-commerce application is gradually widespread

The informatization of the auto parts industry can be broadly divided into two categories: one refers to the informatization inside the enterprise, and the other refers to auto parts production

Industry informatization. The internal informatization of enterprises refers to the overall management of all information of enterprises by information technology for development and utilization

Information resources, improve the management level, research and development ability, and management level, which has become the key to the core competitiveness of enterprises. Auto parts

Industry informatization refers to the construction of an information network for the automobile industry through modern Internet technology to optimize resource allocation and information

Flow to partially replace the flow of people and logistics, greatly improving the industry's operating efficiency. The two are closely linked and inseparable

In this way, the informatization within the enterprise provides the technical foundation for the informatization of the industry, and in turn, the informatization within the industry

Provide a stage for development. They promote each other, coordinate with each other, and jointly promote the development of information technology.

Manufacturing Resource Planning (MRP), Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP), Supply Chain Management (SCM), Customer Relationship Management (CRM),

The concept of an enterprise information portal (EIP) can see that automobile informatization not only plays a role in the supply and production of automobile enterprises

Production and sales also play a role in all fields such as enterprise culture and enterprise management. Network technology led to the development of modern management, production

Gave birth to the basic competition gap in the information and resource coordination ability of enterprises. Enterprise information coordination capabilities, from MRP to MMI,

To ERP, and then extended to both inside and outside the enterprise, resulting in SCM and CRM.Based on a comprehensive grasp of information, form

Advanced management techniques. A single MRP, ERP system can not meet the development of the automobile industry, enterprise information coordination

Force is the "bottleneck" of realizing electronic commerce in the automobile industry, and it must be the integration of information systems based on networks to satisfy the automobile industry

Collaborative production requirements.

The United Nations Council on International Trade Law (UNCITRAL) promulgated the Model Law on Electronic Commerce for the development of electronic commerce

The exhibition lays the foundation, for the development of electronic commerce has experienced a budding stage (1996-1997), rapid development stage (1997-1998

) and practical application stage (1998 - present). Nearly 80% of auto manufacturers' global procurement strategy comes from America, Japan, and Europe

All of the above automotive multinationals have or have begun to build a "seller-led market tide structure of the industry BtoB e-commerce platform.2000

In February 2007, General Motors, Ford, and Chrysler joined forces to create the world's largest electronic marketplace through e-commerce

The content website of the center, with their more than 50,000 suppliers network, through the network for auto parts procurement

Purchase. Toyota, Renault, DaimlerChrysler, and Volkswagen followed suit. The world automobile industry every

ANX of the United States, JNK of Japan,

ENX of the European Union, KNX of South Korea, and AANX of Australia have successively established information exchange networks in the automobile industry

Platform (ABBREVIATED xNX).XNX is a bottom platform, on this basis can develop e-commerce and other applications, use

XNX can reduce the cost of production and operation to the greatest extent and accelerate the internationalization process of enterprises.

As can be seen above, the auto parts industry is not only a rapid application of new technology but also the rapid development of continuous innovation of new management methods

Industry, is also a global restructuring, competition industry, in the face of the strong pressure of the external environment, our auto parts line

Faced with new and more severe challenges, and mainly reflected in the following aspects:

1. Global market and global manufacturing

The so-called global market and manufacturing mainly have the following three points:

1), OEM (OriginalEquipmentManufacturer - original equipment manufacturer) technology transfer;

2) Production, processing, and material procurement in other places;

3) Worldwide distribution channels.

Car production and market are never balanced development when the car market in developed countries has been relatively mature and

In a saturated state, the auto market in most developing countries is pregnant with huge development potential, so the world's automobiles

The giants, while maintaining their existing markets, are expanding and occupying new ones. This auto market is global and fierce

Competition inevitably leads to the globalization of automobile production, so that a world-famous brand car is not necessarily manufactured in the original country of the brand. change

Since the reform and opening-up, China's automobile industry in joint venture, cooperation, sole proprietorship factory situation has been common, which is enough to explain the Chinese automobile

The industry will inevitably join the ranks of this global economy. Nowadays, one of the most important in the wave of economic globalization

The trend is that the influence of multinational corporations on the world and the country is greatly increased.

2. Customer demand directly and strongly drives the whole process of product development, production, sales, and service

Automobile consumers demand more and more diversified, complicated, and personalized products, and they require technology

Can be high, good quality, in line with personal taste, the price of appropriate automotive products, and timely and thoughtful after-sales service. Therefore, the automobile factory

Businesses only to increase the development of new products, constantly bring forth the new, while shortening the market investment time, in the production line group

Weaving mixed production, fast production of high-quality products, and to provide users with more personalized and value for money after-sale service,

Can maintain the advantage in the fierce market competition.

3. How to stand firm in the fierce competition and win the advantage

How to face the competition, the cost is the primary problem that every automobile manufacturer considers. There are several factors to reduce costs

Aspects.Including: how to control material and production cost, how to control product research and development cost, how to control quality cost, how to

Control sales and service costs, and how to control other indirect costs, etc. In a word, the problem of cost reduction is an example

How to optimize the internal resources of enterprises, optimize social resources, using advanced information management technology and emerging e-commerce technology to achieve

Global procurement, global distribution, global production, and global market sales, strengthen enterprise management and improve enterprise efficiency. the

All of these require a solution that is more suitable for the industry to help the enterprise
