The importance of tools and their management to the automobile manufacturing industry and their significant impact on production efficiency and manufacturing costs are attracting more and more attention and thinking of senior managers of automobile manufacturing enterprises. In today's fierce market competition, which automobile manufacturer can better manage tooling, improve production efficiency and reduce manufacturing cost more effectively will be in a favorable position in the competition. And how to continuously explore and innovate, carry out effective tool management and achieve a win-win goal, has become a topic discussed by automobile manufacturing enterprises and tool suppliers.
The importance of tools and their management to the automobile manufacturing industry and their significant impact on production efficiency and manufacturing costs are attracting more and more attention and thinking of senior managers of automobile manufacturing enterprises. In today's fierce market competition, which automobile manufacturer can better manage tooling, improve production efficiency and reduce manufacturing cost more effectively will be in a favorable position in the competition. And how to continuously explore and innovate, carry out effective tool management and achieve a win-win goal, has become a topic discussed by automobile manufacturing enterprises and tool suppliers.
The impact of tools and their management on production efficiency
The production process in the automotive industry involves a lot of machining, especially metal cutting. The size, accuracy and surface appearance of the workpiece are all related to the tool. The performance and quality of the tool directly affect whether the required qualified products can be successfully processed, and affect the processing cycle and production efficiency. The modern automobile manufacturing industry adopts a large number of high-speed cutting, various superhard tools and various types of standard and non-standard tools. Whether the tool can meet the requirements of high-speed cutting, the tool life and the frequency of tool change will directly affect the start-up rate of the production line. , and whether the adjusted or refurbished tools can be provided to the production line on time and with guaranteed quality will be directly related to whether the production can continue normally.
Due to the extensive use of assembly lines in the automobile industry, the production of the previous process directly affects the next process, especially due to the continuous implementation of lean production, there are few intermediate work in progress and buffer zones. In order to improve production efficiency and reduce production costs, the use of There are a large number of combined tools and non-standard tools. Therefore, if a key tool, especially non-standard tools, cannot be supplied on time, it will cause the entire machining production line to stop production. If the enterprise does not have emergency measures or cannot respond quickly, it may also cause the shutdown of the assembly line and even the automobile assembly line.
The impact of tools and their management on manufacturing costs
Cutting tools and their management costs account for a considerable part of the manufacturing cost of auto parts. Under normal circumstances, for a factory with an annual output of hundreds of thousands of engines, the annual tool cost may reach tens of millions or even hundreds of millions of yuan. In addition, its inventory of tools and tool accessories also takes up a lot of working capital. Therefore, reducing tool costs has become a very important, urgent and difficult task for enterprises. The reduction of tool costs is closely related to the adoption of new tools, new processes, new technologies, and new materials, as well as a series of tool management tasks such as tool procurement, logistics, adjustment, grinding, tool quality control, and tool optimization. link.
A high level of tool management makes it possible to control the cost of tools well, which can not only ensure that the production line can obtain the required tools in a timely manner, but also keep the number of tools in stock at the minimum necessary level, making the occupation of working capital and its causes. At the same time, it can continuously optimize the tools, reduce costs and increase efficiency, and can make timely and rapid responses in the event of abnormal tool consumption to ensure normal production.
The performance, life and purchase price of new knives have the greatest impact on the cost of the tool, and the number of regrindable tools, the number of regrinds and the level of regrinding costs also have a significant impact on the total cost of the tool. At the same time, we must also pay attention to the relationship between one-time equipment and tool investment and long-term tool consumption costs. Some projects may save equipment investment during project planning, but use expensive tools or unreasonable cutting parameters, resulting in short tool life and long-term high-cost tool consumption.
Regarding the tool cost, while looking at the total tool consumption cost, it is more important to look at the tool cost consumed by a single piece of processed product. When comparing the tools and their management costs of various enterprises, they should also focus on the consumption of a single piece of similar products. Tool cost comparison. What proportion of the tool cost in the entire manufacturing cost is normal? What is the current level of advanced tool consumption in the automotive industry? There is no authoritative data yet.
The common saying in the tool industry is that the tool cost accounts for 3% to 5% of the entire machining cost. But in fact, tool consumption is related to many factors, which need to be analyzed on a case-by-case basis. While looking at the total tool consumption cost, it is more important to look at the tool cost consumed by the processing of a single product. When comparing the tools and their management costs of various enterprises, the cost of tools consumed by a single piece of processing similar products should also be compared.
In any case, the impact of tool costs on manufacturing costs in the automotive industry is significant, and strict cost control is required, and tool costs can be significantly reduced by improving tool management and optimizing tools.
