Production of defective parts for the automotive industry is the source of billions in losses.
Following the detection of defective airbags, the Japanese company Takata, called on the owners of the 34 million cars to repair.
– It is the largest of its kind in history very expensive, says Jacek Opala, director of sales development at Exact Systems, the company that controls auto parts.
Estimates show that it can absorb up to several billion euros. Similar problems have also recently Toyota. They concerned malfunctioning brakes.
However, according to expert, can not therefore too critically evaluate the quality of production of Japanese automotive disavow the quality of production.
Japan has the automotive industry at a high level characterized by the production of large size. Therefore, this type of situations, when they occur, acquire the status of spectacular special.
Technological advances are also problems with the quality
According to Jack Opala, more and more Advanced technologies used in the automotive industry may be the reason that some parts and components not immediately meet certain quality criteria. Hence the greater the need for verification and validation.
Polish producers have a very high awareness of the need to control parts. The results of these inspections indicate improvement in the quality of production.
10 percent. production of parts for inspection
Last year there was a 10% failure of all inspected by Exact Systems components. This does not mean that 10% of the total production of Polish automotive industry was flawed. This only applies to components and parts, which were forwarded to the control, or those for which there was a risk or suspicion that they do not meet all quality requirements.
In 2013 we were dealing with 13% indicator defective. and in 2006 almost every fifth inspected part, because 21% turned out to be defective.
The interest inspections by Polish manufacturers agreed number of orders from them addressed to the Exact Systems .As explained Jacek Opala in 2014 it reported 54% increase in the number of audited part, that there was a doubling of the number of executed orders. As a result, we examined about 400 million parts and components.
Poland a leader in Europe in terms of quantity and quality of manufactured automotive parts. Worse is the production of entire cars.
In this field, we are far from the position from 2008, when Poland produced one million vehicles.
However, there is hope that it will improve the situation. Effect on it will have investments such as built Volkswagen factory in Wrzesnia, production at the factory Opel’s new Astra 5 in Gliwice, as well as the transfer of production of Skoda from the Czech Kvasin to the factory in Antoninek near Poznan.
close while it also has to be decided where it will be built Jaguar factory. Among the countries competing for this location remained only Poland and the Czech Republic.
Jacek Opala stresses that the introduction of more and more mobile devices will be conducive to the growth of the role of the car in our lives. Even now, as experts calculate, statistical holder in the car spends 37,000 hours of his life. In the next ten years, the number of cars is expected to increase by 50%.
