In recent years , the progress of China's automobile industry has become more and more obvious. China has gradually become the main production and supply base of global automobile parts. However, China's automobile parts development efforts are not enough, and there are many problems to be solved, which makes it difficult to meet the requirements of major companies in the world. Therefore, the quality management of automobile parts development is particularly important. Project quality management is a branch of project management, and its importance is self-evident.
1. Overview of Project Quality Management
Project quality management refers to the activities carried out in command, control and coordination to meet the requirements set by the project. Project quality management is a highly systematic process. In the actual implementation process, in order to meet the quality requirements of the project, it is necessary to create necessary resource conditions. All participants in the project must carry out project quality work under certain conditions around the same goal, that is, to achieve the optimization of project quality.
As an important part of project management, project quality management mainly identifies and confirms customer quality requirements, and then formulates corresponding methods and steps based on this requirement, and applies them to actual measurement and testing, thereby ensuring that the project can complete the established work within the specified time and budget, and that the project can meet customer needs. The core of project quality management is to determine quality policies, goals and responsibilities, thereby establishing a scientific and reasonable quality management system, and ensuring that quality goals can be smoothly implemented and achieved through quality planning, control and improvement.
2. Project Quality Management Cases and Analysis
In 2017 , our company won the G59 instrument panel crossbeam assembly project. After receiving the project, the company began to design the shape and structure of the parts according to the company's management and development process. As the project progressed, the customer believed that the project needed to cancel the spraying to reduce the cost of parts. At this time, the company's project team held an emergency meeting to confirm the feasibility of canceling the spraying. However, the current stage of the project is in the product development stage, and the parts have not yet been produced. The quality engineer cannot control the quality, and in the company's development process, the product development stage is dominated by the middle designer, so the quality engineer refused to express any opinions according to the company's process. Through the debate of the rest of the staff, the project team unanimously agreed that it was just to reduce the surface process of the parts and would not affect the quality. Therefore, according to customer needs, the spraying was cancelled and the mold was opened. However, with the appearance of the mold sample, the company's project team members found that since the cancellation of the spraying was still designed according to the original plan, the instrument panel crossbeam assembly had many appearance quality defects that could not be eliminated . In the end, the customer could not accept this problematic sample, and the company had no choice but to add the spraying again , causing the company to lose both money and time.
3. Problems in Quality Management of Auto Parts Development Projects
3.1 The project management level is low
Most of the persons in charge of the automotive parts development project are professionals. These people have rich work experience and can promptly discover problems that arise during the development process and solve them promptly and effectively. However, these people do not have rich management experience, lack the knowledge and skills of project quality management, have poor leadership ability, are unable to improve the work enthusiasm and passion of employees, and are unable to play the role of leading the team spirit. In addition, the composition of members within the organization is not balanced, making personnel management more complicated and cumbersome.
3.2 The development project plan is vague
One of the reasons why the development of auto parts can proceed smoothly is that there is a clear project plan. However, due to the high progress pressure of auto parts development projects, problems are prone to occur. The designated personnel of the development project do not have a good understanding of the overall situation of the enterprise. In addition, the market changes in the automotive industry are rapid, so the development projects they formulate are not rigorous enough and there are many potential risks. This will not only affect the progress and quality of auto parts development, but also cause the plan data to be inaccurate, affecting the economic benefits of the enterprise.
4. Optimization suggestions for automotive parts development project management
4.1 Optimize the performance evaluation of management and project managers in the enterprise
The quality management of auto parts is prone to problems, so we must first start from the management level and optimize the performance evaluation system of the company's management and project managers, so as to improve the development efficiency of the project and increase the economic benefits of the company. Many project managers have professional development knowledge, but they do not have good management awareness and rich management experience. Therefore, we must strengthen the training and management of project managers to improve their management awareness. Strengthen the performance evaluation of project managers and management to promote their continuous improvement, thereby improving the quality of auto parts development projects.
4.2 Optimizing employee performance evaluation
To ensure the smooth progress of the automotive parts development project, it is necessary not only to optimize the performance evaluation system of the management and project managers, but also to strengthen the performance evaluation of employees. The leaders of the enterprise should add the performance evaluation of employees to the performance evaluation system according to the actual situation of the enterprise, formulate a standardized evaluation system, improve their work efficiency, increase competition within the enterprise, establish a reasonable and fair competition mechanism, increase the space for employees to be promoted, improve their enthusiasm and passion for work, expand the development direction of employees, enable employees to spontaneously improve their comprehensive quality and professional quality, and promote the development and progress of the enterprise.
4.3 Develop a detailed development plan
Enterprises should select professional talents, pay close attention to market changes according to the actual situation of the enterprise, formulate reasonable project development plans, and strictly implement them in the actual development process, so as to effectively promote the smooth development of parts and components.
Auto Parts Development Projects
Only by developing auto parts with good performance and good quality can the overall quality of the car be guaranteed. High-quality parts can be recognized by people, improve the market competitiveness of automobile companies, and win social reputation. It can be seen that quality management is extremely important for the development of auto parts. Due to the various factors that affect the quality of auto parts, in order to ensure the quality of auto parts, it is very necessary to fully implement quality management. We should start from the following aspects: First, we should strengthen quality supervision in the process of auto parts development, ensure that quality supervision runs through the whole process of auto parts development, ensure that the quality of each link can pass the quality test, and track the quality of auto parts; secondly, we should have a clear and comprehensive understanding of the work process between departments, improve and improve the quality management system according to the actual situation and design plan, ensure that the quality management system always maintains rationality, scientificity and applicability, and ensure that quality management work can be carried out smoothly; finally, we should implement the responsibility system, implement the quality responsibility in the process of auto parts development to the corresponding staff, enhance the sense of responsibility of employees, improve the sense of responsibility of employees, and ultimately ensure the quality of parts.
In the specific management of auto parts, management and operation can be carried out from the following four aspects: First, in the initial stage of the auto parts development project, the quality goals of auto parts should be formulated according to the actual situation of the enterprise; Second, in the early stage of the auto parts development project, design plans should be formulated to optimize and improve the design quality of auto parts; Third, in the middle and late stages of the auto parts development project, the quality of auto parts should be declared in accordance with relevant laws and regulations; Fourth, in the after-sales stage of the auto parts development project, the quality of the company's parts should be tracked, and problems with parts should be solved in a timely and effective manner to ensure people's personal safety.
6 Conclusion
To sum up, to ensure the quality of auto parts, it is necessary to make reasonable and scientific plans and continuously optimize the performance evaluation system of the company's management and employees to ensure the long-term development of the company.
