Chapter 113 QCD Optimum

Starting this week, we will go to the supporting factory to confirm the situation. This matter was confirmed last week.

Jiang Hui would definitely not overturn it easily, otherwise it would easily leave a bad impression on Chen Qi and others.

However, this did not affect his ability to quickly retrieve some key project management techniques and node requirements from his memory, and let each supporting manufacturer do things according to the relevant requirements.

After a morning of organizing, that afternoon Jiang Hui, in the name of the liaison officer of the BJ212 upgrade project team office, called together the Design Department, Technical Department and Materials Department to explain to everyone the project management of the new BJ212.

Since the major plan was decided by Chen Qi, Lu Jianqiang and others, Jiang Hui is now just incorporating project management methods into the specific implementation plan, so naturally all departments have no objections.

Of course, many people may not be used to it when they first come into contact with project management in a systematic way.

"Lianluo Jiang, if we manage the schedule for preparing tooling and dies, and the plans for putting various equipment into use, will the supporting factories think we are managing too much?"

Although the name of the Materials Department seems ordinary, they are responsible for the procurement of various materials and parts in the factory.

Their responsibilities are even greater than those of the purchasing department in later generations.

Information such as this one that is related to the specific management of the supporting factory's schedule must be handed over to the Materials Department for management.

The Design Department and the Technical Department are more concerned with issues related to parts design, technology, and quality.

As for the delivery cycle and schedule information of samples, the materials department will have to track and manage them specifically.

"Some time ago, the Capital Internal Combustion Engine Factory was anxious about some factory training related to TQC."

"What we are doing now is actually just implementing some of the spirit of TQC."

“How can we say that we have achieved total quality management if we don’t manage the preparation schedule of the molds and equipment of the supporting factories?”

Jiang Hui easily gave his opinion on the questions raised by the Materials Department.

What I said is just the beginning.

According to later standards, the Materials Department would be involved not only from the tooling and dies of parts and components, but also from the earlier design of parts and molds.

In addition, we need to assist in solving the sample delivery cycle and various problems encountered at each stage.

The logistics department is not as simple as simply buying spare parts.

"According to my last communication with General Motors, the international promotion and popularization of TQC total quality management has been very good."

'When choosing a supporting manufacturer, each OEM needs to consider the three aspects of QCD and choose the most suitable supporting manufacturer.'

"Of course, we may not be able to do this for the time being. Most supporting factories are just biting the bullet and producing parts."

"But we also need to put some pressure on the supporting factories. If they cannot meet the optimal requirements of QCD, we will look for other supporting factories to cooperate with in the future."

Jiang Hui is definitely not satisfied with the current supply chain of BJ212.

However, this is the characteristic of the times. All supporting factories are state-owned enterprises, and production plans are issued by superiors.

In addition, both workers and managers are employed for life, so many management problems are inevitable.

"Jiang Lianluo, what does this QCD optimality mean?"

If you don’t understand, just ask. Jiang Hui often comes up with new names or concepts during meetings, and everyone has become accustomed to asking questions in a timely manner.

"Q stands for quality in English, C stands for cost in English, and D stands for delivery in English."

"Of course, there is also a way of understanding it, QCDD, where one D stands for delivery and the other D stands for research and development."

"QCD Optimum is equivalent to requiring our supporting factories to achieve the best quality in the industry, the lowest cost in the industry, and meet the delivery cycle of the OEM."

"In the future, the Materials Department will need to manage each supporting factory according to this requirement." In order to improve the quality of the new BJ212, reduce costs, and ensure schedule, strengthening management is inevitable.

The top management of Capital Automobile Manufacturing Company will definitely support this.

Throughout the meeting, Jiang Hui and the relevant departments thoroughly disseminated the management requirements for supporting factories. He plans to personally lead a team to the Capital Auto Parts Factory tomorrow to confirm on-site and implement the production status of each part one by one.

Many times, the speed at which people work is completely different when there is someone watching and when there is no one supervising.

This is especially true when it comes to state-owned enterprises in this era.

After all, things like slacking off are skills that are inherent in human nature.

"Jiang Hui, can the project management techniques you mentioned be tried out in our factory?"

"The military representative has announced that he wants to increase the production of BJ212, and the factory is having a headache over this issue."

After the meeting, Chen Qi called Jiang Hui to his office and prepared to have a good discussion about project management.

As the chief engineer of Capital Automobile Manufacturing Plant, Chen Qi is exposed to a lot of information.

He had also heard of foreign terms such as project management.

But I've only heard of it.

"Of course it is possible, but the key to implementing various project management measures is to complete it through the formulation and implementation of various procedural documents."

"And we need to let everyone get used to this management method gradually. Otherwise, even if there are procedural documents, it will be meaningless if they cannot be implemented in the end."

Jiang Hui thought about it for a moment and started communicating with Chen Qi.

"In order to get everyone to actively implement the program documents, a key point is to have incentives."

"But the approach in this regard is quite sensitive, and the system may not be able to fully cooperate yet."

The wages in this era are fixed, and there is no such thing as performance-based wages.

Even the bonus thing basically doesn't exist.

At most, if the factory’s performance is good, they will give out more material benefits.

For example, things like hairtail, apples, and cooking oil are considered very good welfare supplies distributed by factories in this era.

In some factories with good welfare benefits, the various benefits paid out in a year alone, if converted into money, can be equivalent to half of the salary.

For factories with poor welfare, they basically don’t get even a fraction of what others offer.

"When you have time, please make a preliminary plan and I will discuss it with Zheng Chang."

"There are some things we can't change easily, but there are some things we can handle flexibly."

Chen Qi was very interested in some of the project management ideas proposed by Jiang Hui.

As the chief engineer, he could feel that if these things were implemented, it would be very beneficial to his work.

Therefore, even if there are some difficulties in the implementation process, he is willing to give it a try.

Because he still has some ambitions for his career development.

If I can take a step further in the position of chief engineer, my future prospects will be even greater.
