On February 9, the first batch of 200,000 masks jointly produced by SAIC-GM-Wuling and its suppliers rolled off the production line, and the target production capacity is expected to reach 1.7 million per day. On February 8, BYD announced that it would aid in the production of masks and disinfectant, and the production capacity is expected to reach 5 million per day at the end of February, with the capacity of disinfectant reaching 50,000 bottles per day. On the same day, GAC said it was studying the construction of equipment and production line programs for the production of masks.
Interpretation: According to the data previously provided by the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, China's maximum production capacity of masks is more than 20 million per day, the N95 mask production capacity of about 600,000 / day.
After the outbreak, affected by the Spring Festival shutdown of manufacturers, mask production capacity is subject to greater restrictions, and masks do not belong to the necessities of life of ordinary consumers, and even in the drugstore is not a bulk reserve commodities, limited inventory. After the outbreak of the epidemic, many consumers coaxed the masks to lead to a further shortage of mask inventory.
February 9, the National Development and Reform Commission, deputy director of the Department of Economy and Trade, Chen Da, said that as of February 7, the national mask production capacity utilization rate has reached 73%, of which the capacity utilization rate of medical masks has reached 87%.
With the successive resumption of work across the country, the flow of people increased, masks are far from being in short supply, masks are still one of the most scarce strategic materials.
Manufacturing companies are labor-intensive, and responsible companies need to help their employees prepare masks and other essential protective materials. According to the current epidemic, a production site with standardized operations will consume 2 masks per day for one person.
Like Guangzhou Automobile has 110,000 employees, BYD has 220,000 employees, in the case of a complete resumption of work, their own employees on the demand for masks is an astronomical figure. In the current shortage of masks, by outsourcing to achieve self-sufficiency is basically impossible.
Optimistically, car companies and other manufacturers with clean rooms can spare some of the production capacity to the production of protective materials such as masks.
In the production of medical masks, the production environment has more special requirements, the need for constant temperature and humidity, can not let the dust and other small debris contamination masks.
According to AutoNavi, relevant medical device practitioners said that medical surgical masks are almost "equipment, plant, materials" can be done, but the difficulty lies in the production of qualifications and professional dust-free workshop.
Automotive industry generally reserved part of the land, part of the automotive electronics industry itself has a lot of dust-free workshop, anti-static workshop, the production of car companies in the "paint shop" on the "dust-free environment" is extremely demanding, can meet the requirements of mask production. The mask production requirements.
The aid production, SAIC-GM-Wuling joint upstream supplier Guangxi DeFuTe Group through the modification of production lines to produce masks. Previously, the main production of NVH acoustic cotton and other polymer materials, Guangxi DeForte Group is responsible for the provision of production workshops and mask production, while SAIC-GM Wuling will provide personnel and technical support in the production management, project management, equipment security, quality control, packaging and other aspects.
BYD, on the other hand, is responsible for the cross-border production of the masks by the ninth division of its electronics business group, which was previously engaged in the OEM of cell phones, tablets, laptops and automotive electronics. According to BYD Auto Sales Co., Ltd. deputy general manager Li Yunfei told the media, masks by the BYD electronics industry group in Shenzhen production, is expected to be officially put into production on February 17, to the end of the month to climb to the design capacity.
According to BYD's announced plans, the disinfectant and masks will ship as early as February 17, with disinfectant capacity of 50,000 bottles per day; and medical mask capacity of up to 5 million per day. The first batch of masks and disinfectant solution produced by BYD will be directed to donate to specific groups of people such as buses, cabs, online car drivers and volunteers, and will be subsequently supplied to the market at an affordable price.
According to BAIC insiders, the mask cross-border production program will be promoted by BAIC's Parts and Components Business Unit, and will not affect the main business of vehicle manufacturing. At present, BAIC Group parts business unit has organized some of the talent to start learning mask production equipment molding, welding and mechanical, electrical and other related technologies and production processes.
Car companies set aside part of the site, the construction of masks and other protective materials production capacity, on the one hand, both to solve their own rapid resumption of the shortage of protective materials problem; on the other hand, combined with their own ability to assume the social responsibility for the fight against the epidemic to make a positive contribution.
