Sinotruk Jinan Axle Company, with its innovative perspective and pragmatic measures, is working at full capacity and making precise efforts to further advance its three key strategies: “dual-track, quality improvement, and cost control,” striving to achieve its goal of “halfway through the deadline and halfway through the task.”
Dual-Wheel Drive, Two-Way Effort
To address the opportunities and challenges presented by new energy vehicles, Jinan Axle Company is further implementing its “Breakthrough in Electric Axles, Leading in Conventional Axles” strategy, promoting a “dual-wheel drive” approach and synergistic development of both conventional and electric axles.
For electric axle products, Jinan Axle Company is actively identifying bottlenecks and weak links in the production process, coordinating resources, and addressing these bottlenecks to resolve production bottlenecks.
♦ Utilizing superior resources to establish electric main reducer and electric axle assembly lines, implementing high standards and stringent requirements to strengthen delivery capabilities and performance.
♦ Innovating processes and optimizing procedures, adjusting robot operation paths and parameters, and tapping into production potential.
♦ Focusing on intelligent logistics and smart manufacturing, the company is upgrading equipment and tooling to enhance product testing capabilities and improve the efficiency of electric axle assembly. For traditional axle products, Jinan Axle Company has innovatively created a production management system with a “one platform, two optimizations, and three guarantees” approach to adapt to new business models. This has reshaped its production organization model and laid a solid foundation for precise production and delivery.
♦ A daily report on the Axle Company’s procurement execution completeness rate has been established to ensure that everyone has targets and every item is accountable. Statistics show that the procurement completeness rate increased from 96.96% in March to 99.15% in May, and the order delivery accuracy rate reached 100%, establishing a highly efficient production collaboration system.
♦ Focusing on cutting-edge technology and occupying a technologically advanced position, 55 new product trial production projects were completed between January and May. One of these products is a domestic first, boasting multiple advantages, including a low center of gravity, high transfer efficiency, strong escape capability, excellent maneuverability, and a small turning radius.
Quality Control Enhances Quality
Since the second quarter, Jinan Axle Company has fully launched its “Zero Kilometer Problem Elimination” campaign, strengthening quality control throughout product development, manufacturing, and after-sales improvement processes. Adhering to higher standards and a more pragmatic approach, Jinan Axle Company is striving to achieve zero-kilometer technology and zero-zero management, helping to elevate product quality to new heights.
Jinan Axle Company has launched its “Quality Challenge Month” campaign, comprehensively enhancing its quality control acumen. Through project-based research, Jinan Axle Company analyzes, controls, and resolves various quality issues. Furthermore, Jinan Axle Company is integrating its resources, proactively implementing measures, and regularly coordinating projects to ensure high-quality progress in its “unveiling the challenge and appointing the leader” initiative.
Innovation and Creativity: Cost Control and Efficiency Improvement
To achieve cost control and efficiency improvement, Jinan Axle Company is continuously exploring opportunities and potential for cost reduction while actively encouraging employee innovation. Frontline employees focused on improving equipment operating efficiency. By forming quality control teams and task forces, they collaborated on innovation, addressing bottlenecks and difficulties that hindered efficiency and effectiveness, and comprehensively promoting “full-scope, full-process cost control.”
Thanks to the successful implementation of a series of quality and efficiency-enhancing measures, production efficiency has significantly improved. Since May, Jinan Axle Company has successfully implemented an earlier departure time for frontline employees, further boosting employee happiness and achieving a “two-way” balance of economic benefits and humanistic care.
Today, Sinotruk Jinan Axle Company, upholding the spirit of “never slacking off, always staying at the forefront, and always striving for the best,” is committed to passionate, innovative practice and responsibility, focusing its efforts on overcoming difficulties and continuously promoting the integration and innovation of automation and digitalization, adding new impetus to the company’s high-quality development.
