The automotive industry has been working hard to fight the epidemic.
Recently, SAIC Wuling officially announced that it has joined forces with its acoustic cotton supplier, Guangxi DeFuTe, to switch to the production of masks by altering the production line. According to the project construction plan, by the district government project to give financial support, Guangxi Construction Group is responsible for Guangxi DeForte's original production workshop converted into 2000 square meters of dust-free workshop, completed and put into use in February, **** set up 12 mask production line.
It is reported, Guangxi DeForte Group, as a supplier of car sound insulation cotton for car companies, mainly produces NVH sound insulation cotton and other polymer materials and their components, polypropylene as the main raw material for the production of masks, the same is also one of the raw materials for the production of automotive acoustic cotton.
Shanghai Automobile General Motors Wuling told Euromobile, its production of some products, it is used in medical supplies can be used for high-specification materials polypropylene to produce sound insulation cotton. Therefore, in terms of raw materials, production technology preparation for the production of masks have a great advantage, as well as the production line can be quickly started after the professional transformation of production.
In terms of financial support, the National Development Bank to provide 50 million loans; in addition, in order to be able to successfully produce masks, Guangxi DeFuTe has set up a new medical device company, in terms of project approval, has been the relevant government licenses to support the opening of a controlled range of "green channel", for the full range of Qualification verification, approval and certification (including but not limited to production licenses, business licenses, health permits, product qualification certificates, medical device business enterprise license, etc.), the normal process of 43 days to shorten to less than 20 days, is expected to be able to deal with all the required procedures before March.
In terms of personnel and production technology, SAIC-GM-Wuling will provide personnel and technical support in production management, project management, equipment safeguard, quality control, packaging, etc., to ensure rapid mass production and ramp-up. The existing workshop already has a production staff of *** 92 people, in order to meet the demand for production capacity, in addition to SAIC-GM-Wuling's support staff, will be supplemented by social recruitment of personnel, *** plans to supplement 85 people, all in place before February 7th. SAIC-GM-Wuling has been recruiting for the whole society since February 5, and as of noon on February 6, 30 people have applied for the job.
Currently, the outbreak has entered a new phase, and it is urgent to solve the problem of supply and demand of masks.
According to the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, China's mask production capacity of about 20 million per day, while the current production capacity recovery rate of about 60%, N95 medical protective masks per day only about 600,000 capacity. In particular, the Spring Festival holiday led to most of the factories shut down, coupled with the impact of the epidemic, raw materials stopped supply, logistics stoppage, the lack of supply of raw materials in the back, directly leading to the epidemic front line and the general public masks are hard to find.
With the epidemic reaching its peak, the vast majority of enterprises will also resume work around February 10, which means that the gap in masks will be further widened, at the same time, the shortage of supply of masks during the epidemic is also unable to alleviate quickly.
Therefore, the only way to alleviate part of the predicament is to increase production capacity and improve efficiency. According to the configuration of production equipment, labor and other resources, SAIC-GM-Wuling plans to mask daily production is expected to reach 1.7 million. At present, the production line has been remodeled and production preparations have been initiated. The construction of the dust-free workshop is being carried out simultaneously, and the professional production equipment is scheduled to arrive on February 26, which can reach the production standard of medical grade masks.
SAIC-GM-Wuling said that the masks belong to the strategic material reserve, and the masks produced by this project will be deployed by the Guangxi regional government to support medical institutions to carry out epidemic prevention work and protect the health and safety of the public.
It is reported that the joint production of masks of the project, SAIC-GM-Wuling from the idea to enter the specific stage of implementation of less than 5 days. This is not only an innovative initiative of the automobile industry, but also the best interpretation of the efficient linkage between government and enterprises, and putting the public's health and safety first.
The key moment, not only SAIC-GM-Wuling a company in the "cross-border" production mask. It is understood that Foxconn Technology Group released a message that its first introduction of mask production line in Longhua Park, and on the 5th to achieve trial production, is currently applying for product qualification certification. Foxconn will not only meet the group's staff epidemic prevention needs, but also as appropriate, external support output.
Earlier, YEEO automobile has been in the "car enterprises war" epidemic "five ways to open" an article summarized that since the spread of the new coronavirus epidemic, car companies have been mobilized to join the epidemic epidemic prevention army, as far as possible to combat the epidemic contribute to the contribution from the money "aid", aid materials, support for the epidemic, the "aid", the "aid", the "aid", the "aid", the "aid", the "aid", the "aid", the "aid", the "aid" and "aid".
Since the spread of the virus, car companies have been joining the epidemic prevention army, contributing as much as they can to the fight against the epidemic, from monetary "aid", support materials, organizing the "rescue team", to research and development and manufacturing to support the "front line", even if we are in the cold winter of the automobile market, still exudes a rolling warm current.
Likewise, on January 31, SAIC-GM-Wuling got the Guangxi autonomous region party committee and government of the epidemic prevention and control of the relevant requirements, the company urgently purchased from Indonesia, India, shipped back 20,000 medical protective masks, including Honeywell N95 masks 10,000, 10,000 medical surgical masks for Liuzhou City, the fight against a new type of coronavirus pneumonia epidemic front line use.
In the SAIC-GM-Wuling full support to combat the new coronavirus epidemic at the same time, its brand new Baojun in front of the epidemic actively respond to a series of measures to protect the user in the epidemic during the purchase of the car, car safety, the launch of the "*** anti-epidemic, service upgrades" action in the whole online contactless purchase, offline store services, After-sales protection and financial policies, the implementation of the "3 defense 0 touch, 3 free double 0".
Currently, under the influence of the epidemic, the entire industrial chain of automobiles is basically in a state of shutdown. SAIC-GM-Wuling believes that, in the short term, the substantial reduction in the amount of terminal orders will directly influence the automotive enterprises on the market forecast, thus affecting the parts and components supporting, vehicle manufacturing, logistics and transportation, terminal services, and other links in the industry chain.
The epidemic is not only a serious test for automotive companies, but also a big test for the entire automotive industry chain's collaborative response ability. At this moment, car companies need to do a good job during the epidemic user services, stabilize the business confidence of dealers, in the "winter" waiting for spring.
