From "birth" to 9 months of operation to achieve breakeven, what is Ankang?

If you look at the "born" time, Ankang is not a good time to be born in everything. Anhui Cummins Power Co., Ltd., which was established in December 2018, was born in just over 5 months and caught up with the 5.21 incident of subverting the light truck industry, coupled with the balance of payments, the release of the products of the country, and the establishment of the system. Waiting for the heavy responsibility, for Ankang in 2019, it is impossible to rely on it, and must take the initiative.

After seeing the balance between profit and loss, the three national products are off the assembly line, and the 32,000 units of transcripts sold in January-September, people who have sweated Ankang can be assured. After all, there are really not many companies that can break even after 9 months of operation. So, how does Ankang do it?

Hard work behind breakeven

What is most interesting to the outside world is probably how to achieve breakeven in the short term. As the general manager of Anhui Cummins, Baiyuan is quite frank about this issue: Anhui Cummins is really saving this year, all aspects of savings.

“One of the important reasons for turning losses is the strict control of three expenses (sales expenses, management expenses, research and development expenses), and the reduction of costs through lean production, lean management, and lean operation.” He said that this year’s Anhui Cummins’s The products have been greatly reduced, and the inventory has also been greatly reduced, which greatly reduces the occupation of the capital chain and reduces financial risks.

The effect of lean production on cost reduction is evident in a set of data. Through lean production, Anhui Cummins production efficiency has increased from 180 units/day to 200 units/day, and its product delivery time has been shortened from 3.5 days to the current one day. In addition, the production cost of its single product has also been reduced by nearly 10%.

The effect of service upgrades on cost reduction is equally significant. In Anhui Cummins' view, “Let the user feel the service” is the best service. The company can control and improve the quality of the products at the front end, and minimize the occurrence of services. In addition, the initiative service is strengthened. Vehicle networking and digital initiative provide regular inspection and customized maintenance for vehicles, reducing the possibility of failures, greatly improving service efficiency, and reducing service charges while reducing user complaints.

The development of maintenance aids is an important part of the service upgrade program. Today's engine electronic control components are extremely numerous. If you rely on the repairman to take the diagnostic manual, it may take a long time to find the fault point. In order to improve maintenance efficiency, Cummins is developing a diagnostic aid system, and a full fault code design (such as the abuse of urea) can quickly solve the problem. When the company's products are listed, the diagnostic system will be released to service providers. It is worth noting that the diagnostic system has the ability to learn, and large data will be formed after a large number of engines are diagnosed, and the efficiency of the diagnosis process is improved through self-learning. For example, there are 20 diagnostic steps in the past. After 10,000 times of use to form big data and self-learning, the diagnostic steps will be shortened to 3 to 4 steps, which greatly facilitates the service provider.

In addition, Anhui Cummins's National Six products also enjoy Cummins Remote Services 2.0, including intelligent diagnostics and remote calibration capabilities. More advanced is that the remote service has the function of “flashing failure and not crashing”, which is not available in many other brand products. The advantage is that the product can still operate normally when the writing fails. Through the Internet of Vehicles and big data analysis capabilities, Anhui Cummins can provide proactive services to customers and quickly upgrade remote software. These are the hard work that Anhui Cummins has behind the break-even.

Grinding products can win beautiful

On October 11th, 2919, Cummins' 100-year tour event at Hefei Station, Anhui Cummins brought three new National Six products from Anhui Cummins 3.0L and Cummins B4.0/B4.5 models, which made the industry look at the speed of Ankang. From the fifth stage of the country to the sixth stage of the country, the products have undergone earth-shaking changes. Even the veterans of the industry must take it seriously, not to mention the "new army" that was only established for 9 months.

But as it turns out, the "new army" does not mean that it is tender, and when it is shot, it will be shot, and it will still be beautiful.

As early as the establishment, Anhui Cummins began to set up the national six, combined with the Chinese user use scene to introduce more Cummins B4.0, B4.5 models with more fuel economy and operational reliability, and create a brand new with Anhui Cummins 3.0L National Six Product Matrix. Anhui Cummins 3.0L engine adopts advanced lightweight and integrated design to improve load capacity while reducing engine weight; Cummins B4.0L, B4.5L engine is highly integrated with post-processing, power, peak torque and low-speed torque are all obtained. Upgrade, modular design ideas further reduce the weight of the product body.

Product development is only the first step, Anhui Cummins profoundly understands that users say it is really good. At present, the terminal market including users and distributors did not have a deep understanding of the national six regulations. "I hope that manufacturers can upgrade the country as soon as possible, and have products to sell and use". But as the manufacturing side of Anhui Cummins knows, the country is not so simple. After many technical communication, regulatory communication, and service communication, the understanding from the manufacturer to the service station is highly unified, and the six major exams are jointly faced. In order to help users to use the National Six products more smoothly, Anhui Cummins has prepared a large number of materials such as delivery checklists, videos, and prints to the terminal store, constantly streamlining the terminal delivery process, and minimizing user purchase and use troubles.

By the sixth stage of the country, users have a lower tolerance for product quality. After all, scientific and technological progress has become a consensus, and small problems are no longer "innocuous", let alone big problems. Taking the installation of the piston ring as an example, once the fault is installed, the engine operation is greatly damaged. In Anhui Cummins, if the piston ring on the production line is placed in the wrong direction, it can be detected before assembly. Similar results, in the second quarter of 2018, there are still many factory renovations with an investment of nearly 200 million yuan. The modified Cummins manufacturing base in Anhui Province has now become a model factory for Cummins engines, and its production line fully meets Cummins' global standards. 56 imported processing centers such as Hager, Germany, Doosan, Korea, 57 internationally renowned presses, leak detectors, washing machines, tightening machines, 17 MARPOSS testing equipment, plus the engine testing technology center can automatically detect and The three Austrian AVL power test benches that determine the quality of the engine test are fully embodied in the principle of “not receiving, not manufacturing, or transferring non-conforming products”.

Like the name of Anhui Cummins Power Co., Ltd., "Anhui Cummins" instead of "Jianghuai Cummins", intends to use Jianghuai Automobile as the cornerstone for future development of the joint venture company, but its products are bound to expand to other market areas in the future, and even include Overseas market; "Power Co., Ltd." instead of "Engine Company" is intended to leave a lot of room for Jianghuai Automobile and Cummins to deepen cooperation in the future. Anhui Cummins, which has taken the first step, will bring us surprises in the future and it is worth looking forward to.
