With the intensification of international competition, the global automobile market has formed a new trend of “you have me and I have youâ€. The international auto giants and Chinese vehicle groups have or are planning to implement a global procurement strategy. Under this background, how can China's auto parts enterprises enter the global procurement system and how to build their own marketing channel network? This is an urgent problem that needs to be explored and solved by Chinese auto parts companies.
In the context of the globalization of automobile production, many auto manufacturers are developing global parts procurement in order to ensure the quality of the entire vehicle and reduce costs. This is only after undergoing a low-level phase in which almost all parts and components were made by the automaker in the initial phase and gradually increasing the proportion of purchased parts, it gradually developed to the current intermediate stage of global procurement. The advantage of global procurement is that OEMs can make full use of competitive advantages in spare parts around the world, obtain the latest market technologies, adapt to exchange rate fluctuations and the batch effects of group procurement, and obtain the best quality, best service and the most reasonable price product. Therefore, the implementation of a global procurement strategy, expanding the outsourcing rate, and reducing the self-control rate in order to achieve the best economic efficiency and the best product quality have become the development trend of the world's auto industry.
At present, many automobile manufacturers in China have announced the implementation of a global procurement strategy. In terms of logistics, most of them implement warehouse management, door-to-door delivery, and timely delivery of this process. In terms of sales and services, brand sales, single-level pull sales, and so on, focus on value-added links to the international level in order to enhance overall competitiveness.
Chinese suppliers face many difficulties and challenges. Such as culture, language, logistics, translation of technical documents, supply capacity, communication, time difference, legal, whether it can conduct business operations in the same system, customer operation procedures, quality certification system, quality planning and control, preparation of suppliers The global political environment, economic environment, and so on need to be overcome and resolved through communication and integration.
For Chinese auto parts to be exported, companies must understand the needs of their customers. So, what are the customer's needs? (1) High-quality supply + competitive prices; (2) Technology--process--process control--capacity; (3) material properties--testing--reliability (4) Quality process control - no defects. The customer also hopes that the supplier's quality and engineering service personnel can arrive at their headquarters at any time.
For Chinese auto parts to be exported, companies must also understand their customers' purchasing decisions. The customer first sends the inquiry to the supplier, conducts a price negotiation, selects the supplier, drafts the cost target and the potential supply review. After the primary supplier is identified, technical review is conducted, including comprehensive review, molds, manufacturing processes, material testing, prior quality control plans, and production parts approval. After the technical review is qualified, the customer only gives the supplier a 17- to 29-page order.
In order to obtain punctual and qualified parts and components from suppliers, the customer has 63 stages in three stages for the general process of supplier development. The first stage is supplier selection and certification, including target products, primary selection, evaluation, preliminary preparation and quotation. Recognition and so on. The second stage is the preparation of suppliers for production, including technical documents, change control, samples, early production control, product certification, and production by beats.
The Rapier Loom is the most commonly used version of shuttle-less weaving machinery. Its primary features include fast weaving speed, high level of automation, and maximum efficiency. In addition to the said characteristics which are inherited from previous shuttle-less weaving machines, the rapier loom also has its own advantage over them. For instance, its positive weft insertion mechanism is suitable for weaving a variety of fiber yarns. Moreover, the unique weft color choosing system allows maximum 16 colors of filing picks to be woven. With all those matchless features available at a low price, the loom has seed wide use in weaving dyed yarn, towel, silk weave, wool fabric, and bast fabric. It also provides an ideal solution for small batch production of fancy cloth.
Advances in weaving technology will continue to increase the variety of looms to fit the specific request of consumers. Below are the detailed descriptions of the benefits for using rapier looms
Extensive Applications
The state of the art rapier loom
is no longer picky about the texture, specification, and pattern of the textile
raw material, whether it be hydrophobic or hydrophilic, natural fibers like
cotton, flax, wool, and silk or such chemical fibers as dacron and chinlon,
super fine yarn or super bulky yarn, lightweight and thin yarn or thick and
heavy weight yarn, or yarn with simple patterns or complex patterns. As long as
you choose the correct machine model along with proper weaving process, you can
get satisfying products.
Versatility
The rapier loom when equipped with the dobby
device, or rather, the electronic dobby loom allows operators to change the
weaving patterns conveniently. That being said, the loom can be converted to
accommodate another variety of product.
Potential Products
The quality, rich-colored fabrics
manufactured by the rapier loom possess huge potential on the market. The rapier
loom makes new product development a possibility.
1. Equipped with the electronic dobby system, the rapier loom can meet the
rapidly-changing demands for new products. Controlled by the micro-computer, the
electronic dobby system can provide various weft counts in a warp and weft weave
pattern via the programming system. The wide range of complex weaving patterns
create added value for the fabric manufacturer. While the dobby loom is running
in faster, more accurate movement, it also increases the variations of warp
patterns, thereby facilitating the development of new warp weaving process.
What's more, the complex warp weaving pattern is hard to be duplicated by other
manufacturers, thus protecting the new process from being copied.
2. The
rapier loom relies on the rapier to carry the weft across the warp sheet.
Therefore, the loom can insert literally any kind of filling picks into the warp
as long as the pick can be carried by the rapier. Based on this proven theory,
we can use the rapier loom to weave various stretch fabrics like the stretch
poplin, stretch denim, and stretch corduroy. When weaving those fabrics, the
loom has overcome the common problems such as undesired double pick and weft
kink face by previous weaving machines.
3. When fitted with the highly
advanced weft selection device, our electronic dobby loom can construct complex
2-pick and 3-pick weave.
4. The strong battening force and the strong
temple(which can hold the whole width of the fabric and assures the fabric to be
firm), along with the tall back warp beam ensure the fabric is tightened under
high tension throughout the weaving process.
5. The rapier loom, when
equipped with jacquard shedding system, can fabricate weave complex jacquard
pattern. If used in combination with the hot cutter and heat setting device, the
loom can be used to weave product trademarks. It can fabricate top-class weaves
when equipped with selvedge forming device and carving device. Others can be
sued to craft terry towels.
Further benefits of using the rapier loom include complete functions, high production efficiency, high automation, safe operation, low noise, and good weaving quality. Those advantages have made our rapier loom stand out from market competition.
