Chery Jaguar Land Rover Changshu Factory Initial Experience

Recently, once the localization of Land Rover Discovery Shenxing was announced, there was a heated discussion on the Internet. Among them, netizens are concerned about the quality of Land Rover's localization, and even the issue of whether the factory's advanced nature is comparable to that of the British factories has been thrown out. It happened that Xiaobian was invited to visit Chery Jaguar Land Rover Changshu factory. Let's share our experience of this trip with you. plant overviewDifferent from the factories visited before, Chery Jaguar Land Rover factory has a strong sense of modern design. Looking at the appearance of the plant, it has no smell of traditional industrial buildings, but is somewhat similar to most commercial office buildings. Perhaps this is why Land Rover people call themselves "garden style" factories.

stamping workshopFour stamping production lines are planned for the stamping workshop, and two are in place at present. It adopts the joint production mode of full-automatic high-speed servo press line and mechanical press line, and the production beat can reach 20 times / min.It is worth mentioning that the servo line and mechanical line can achieve 75% mold interoperability, and the next goal is to achieve 100% interoperability, which can "to a certain extent" improve the production efficiency of large-size parts.

welding workshopIn addition, ultrasonic detection is adopted for solder joint detection. Two vehicles are tested every day, and the solder joint detection rate is 100%; One vehicle shall be completely disassembled every three months to ensure the welding quality. painting workshop

General Assembly Workshop Quality CenterIn addition, Land Rover has set up a quality center with an overall floor area of 4320m The center has 2 vehicle coordinate measuring machines, all-weather environment warehouse, shaking table, static rain test, vehicle air tightness test and other equipment.

The quality center will assess a batch of vehicles by means of irregular random sampling inspection. The most surprising thing for Xiaobian is that the "quality assessment team" is set up in the central area of the quality center, which is composed of employees at all levels. Even if you are the section chief or the general manager, you should take time to participate, otherwise your name will appear on the attendance list. You naturally understand the embarrassing situation.Conclusion: after the 2-hour visit, I was most impressed by Chery Jaguar Land Rover's pursuit of quality. In addition to the routine off-line general inspection of vehicles, 49 inspection stations were set up during the final assembly manufacturing process to conduct online inspection and record the whole assembly process, and a quality center was established. Even the products that passed the inspection will be sampled and tested irregularly, Strictly control the quality of vehicles.At the same time, the manufacturing manager of Changshu factory also revealed to the media that at present, the quality of models produced by Chery Jaguar Land Rover has exceeded the global quality level of Land Rover. It can be seen that localization or Chinese people's own control can be very reliable, which also shows that import is not necessarily better than domestic production.
