TOYOTA Textile Zhuang Zhiqiang: Quality Is The Foundation Of Our Life.

Zhuang Zhiqiang, deputy general manager of TOYOTA textile (China) Co., Ltd.

Zhuang Zhiqiang: I don't think there will be saturation in eastern China.

Because of support from the central and western regions such as government policies and finance, the presentation will give people a relatively slow development in eastern China and a relatively rapid development in the central and western regions. However, the automobile industry is a relatively concentrated industry, and the government hopes that the automobile industry will be able to pass it.

Zhuang Zhiqiang: TOYOTA textile sales in China last year exceeded 10 billion yuan, although it accounts for less than 15% of the global sales, but it is the fastest growing region of TOYOTA Textile Group in the world. And from the profit point of view, China has made a great contribution to the company, so China is the most important area of our development. In the next few years, we will begin to strengthen the R & D strength in China.

Zhuang Zhiqiang:

At present, the company has launched a natural plant material, such as kenaf, at various motor shows and exhibitions in various parts of the world. Although the cost of environmental protection material is high, it will become a direction of future development.

In addition, we have always advocated the use of cars as a mobile space, not just as a mobile tool, which puts forward higher requirements for the safety of materials and the overall comfort.

In addition, we are committed to reducing the weight of the seat skeleton and contributing to the overall lightweight of the vehicle.

At the end of 04, the company issued the "TOYOTA textile Earth Environment Charter". It stressed that the environmental protection in twenty-first Century should be regarded as a kind of corporate responsibility and strict demands on itself, and more environmentally friendly technologies should be adopted in the products.

To this end, we will strengthen self-discipline in daily work, formulate various environmental indicators and implement them strictly, and set up an environmental department at headquarters. China's subsidiaries will also follow suit.

It is worth mentioning that TOYOTA textile China has maintained frequent contacts with other scientific research institutions, certification bodies and standard institutions, so as to have a deeper understanding of the relevant laws and regulations, and implement them strictly as a standard.

Zhuang Zhiqiang: as a whole, the layout of our R & D center is mainly the "14" system.

"1" refers to the headquarters of Japan's local companies, and the largest R & D center is there; "4" means that there are four regions in the world: the first is the North American and South American regions; the second is the Asia Pacific region, mainly refers to the Asia Pacific region excluding China; third is the European region; fourth is the China region.

TOYOTA textile has a local headquarters in every region of the world. Its headquarters in China is TOYOTA textile (China) Co., Ltd., located in Shanghai. It is an investment company and shoulders the responsibility of research and development. At present, the company has about 110 people in R & D technicians, mainly in the research and development of automobile seats.

Zhuang Zhiqiang: the advantages of TOYOTA textile are mainly manifested in the following points: first of all, TOYOTA textile keeps improving the production of products. This is the magic weapon for the company to win. From technology to products, we have devoted a lot of efforts to manufacturing.

Secondly, the company always put quality in the first place, from design drawings to process arrangements to equipment selection, all of which always reflect the importance of product quality.

In terms of quality control, we will strictly control the output of defective products in strict accordance with three stages. First, we must strictly control the production process, and let the defective products flow to the next production process. There will be many intermediate inspection links and final inspection links. The two is the feedback from the main engine factory, which controls the bad indicators returned by the main plant. The three is the feedback from the consumers, and we insist that the bad feedback from the market is 0.

All along, TOYOTA textile is based on the number of products, rather than the usual ppm as the output index of bad products, this control method is more stringent.

In addition, 13 production enterprises in China will hold a production meeting every two months to make a report on the quality of production. What problems do you have to discuss, analyze and solve together?

Zhuang Zhiqiang: TOYOTA textile attaches great importance to cost control.

Design is the beginning, we focus on how to improve the process performance of products, but at the same time, we can ensure lower cost, ensure the best and the simplest from product detail design to equipment and tools. In terms of process arrangement, the production mode of TOYOTA textile is necessary to provide the necessary quantity when necessary. We are very close to the TOYOTA main engine factory, so we can strictly carry out production according to TOYOTA production mode, shorten the delivery time and basically have no stock. If we do not consider other factors, it is very effective for cost control alone. Besides, the company will arrange the sorting process and workers reasonably, so that they can pmit the products to the next process more efficiently.

In addition, the procurement of purchased parts, the determination of equipment specifications, and so on will be carefully studied, which greatly saves the cost of the company.
