On February 13, the first batch of masks produced by SAIC-GM-Wuling were shipped in batches. According to the introduction of SAIC-GM-Wuling WeChat, they are the first automobile company to obtain the Medical Device Business License and pass the professional inspection, and have the relevant qualifications for mask research, development, production and operation.

The first batch of masks are general medical protective masks, and the outer packaging box is printed with "What the people need, what Wuling will make".

A week ago, on February 6, SAIC-GM-Wuling decided to rebuild the production line with suppliers and switch to masks. Guangxi Construction Engineering Group is responsible for the renovation of the clean workshop, and * * * set up four mask production lines 10, including four N95 mask production lines and one general medical protective mask production line10. It is estimated that the daily production capacity will reach 1.7 million or more.

Not only did SAIC-GM-Wuling rebuild its production line, but auto companies also produced related products themselves. For example, the staff of BYD told the Water Drop Auto APP: "BYD Baolong No.9 is an EMS factory with its own factory and medical device system certification. I have been producing some medical device products for some brand agents. "

On February 8, BYD Auto also announced that it would assist in the production of masks and disinfectant. It is estimated that the masks will be mass-produced and shipped around 65438+ in February 2007. At the end of February, the production capacity of masks reached 5 million/day, and the production capacity of disinfectant reached 50,000 bottles/day.

Guangzhou Automobile Group has a more flexible thinking and decided to be self-reliant. On the one hand, we chose homemade equipment, on the other hand, we sent technicians to learn from mask manufacturers. According to the plan, GAC plans to cooperate with suppliers to manufacture 30 to 50 sets of self-made equipment. On February 1 1, the first mask production equipment of GAC began to be installed and debugged. It is estimated that 12 sets of equipment will be made by ourselves on February 22nd, and 30 sets will be completed by the end of February.

For automobile companies, it is not difficult to produce protective equipment such as masks, or even a piece of cake. Automobile is the most complicated product in industrial production. According to the six sigma quality management system, the standard of automobile regulations should be six sigma, and only 3.4 mistakes are allowed in one million opportunities, which is basically equivalent to the requirements of military grade.

Usually, the 3C digital products we use only require four sigma, and 62 10 errors are allowed in one million opportunities. Automobile companies produce masks. To give an inappropriate example, it's just like a doctoral student taking an elementary school exam.

In terms of complexity, mobile phones are more complicated than masks, and the technology of auto parts is much more complicated and precise than masks. From the perspective of personnel, the strict quality and management training system of the automobile industry has trained a large number of high-quality industrial workers. From the production environment, the dust-free and anti-static workshop, electronic electrification technology and safety standards of automobile factories are far higher than those of other industries.

It turns out that this is also the case. On February 7th, Guangzhou Auto Parts Technology Center sent engineers to study in Dongguan. It took two weeks to master the technology and production process of mask equipment, but it took only a few hours for Guangzhou auto parts engineers to master it.

At present, many domestic mask manufacturers are private small and medium-sized enterprises, or even "family workshops" of one household and one factory. No matter from which point of view, the quality of Wuling, BYD and GAC masks is no problem. If mask production alone is not enough to give full play to the ability of automobile enterprises, GAC has sent two batches 18 technicians to the mask factory since February 9 to help them improve their efficiency and production capacity from the aspects of technology, quality and on-site management.

Car companies also support planes and tanks at special times. After the Pearl Harbor incident in World War II, American President Roosevelt put forward the theory of "a strong democratic arsenal", announced that the United States would "plant the seeds of ordnance into the most advanced manufacturing industry in the world" and asked everyone to show patriotism and dedication.

Roosevelt set a goal for the United States at that time: the annual output was 6,000, and it doubled the next year. Then all private cars in the United States stopped production, and Ford promised to produce an airplane every hour. In the end, Ford fulfilled its promise to deliver 650 bombers every month. In addition to airplanes, this factory also produces military goods, tanks, armored vehicles and so on.

Cadillac's factory was used to produce M5 tank, hence the name Cadillac brand tank (M5 is an improved version of the well-known Sherman tank), and Buick joined M 18? Research and design of Hellcat.

Water drop point of view:

The epidemic is also a battle. The most important thing in the war is to fight consumption, which requires the continuous production support of industry. The maximum production capacity of masks in China is 20 million pieces per day. As of February 1 1, the usage rate of masks in China has reached 94%. In addition to the above-mentioned enterprises, Foxconn's Shenzhen Longhua Park has also introduced a medical mask production line, and now it is a blessing to have the support of the automobile industry.
