Starting in 2019 China’s automotive industry has transitioned from a period of rapid growth into a stage of steady maturity and is currently undergoing a transformation and upgrade—from focusing on quantity to emphasizing quality.

In the process, we have always put quality first, implemented comprehensive process control, paid close attention to every single step, and meticulously focused on every detail—truly putting into practice our business philosophy of “survival through quality and development through integrity.” Under the new circumstances in which the industry as a whole is shifting from high growth to high quality, we will continuously strive to enhance our quality and endeavor to provide customers with the highest-quality products.

1. Comprehensively enhance quality management awareness

Thought Guiding behavior, thoughts determine actions; only when our thoughts are correct can our actions be correct. Therefore, Ningbo Yongjia has made great efforts to enhance employees' awareness of quality management, placing particular emphasis on strengthening training and education. In reinforcing comprehensive staff training, the focus is on team units, where employees learn about their respective job responsibilities, operational procedures, production processes, as well as knowledge and systems related to equipment management, material management, site management, and safe production. The training is organized by team leaders according to the specific characteristics of their work, with unified coordination from the workshop, establishing a long-term mechanism and ensuring continuous training. Through this learning and training, employees have improved their understanding of job standards and relevant regulations, mastering them proficiently. As a result, employees’ professional ethics and competence have been elevated, enabling them to become thoroughly familiar with the methods and requirements of the production process and develop good habits of consciously complying with rules and procedures. Meanwhile, managers at or above the team leader level in each workshop have been organized to study the various clauses of IATF16949 and VDA6.3. They combine this study with practical problems encountered in their daily work, learning, rectifying issues, and continuously improving simultaneously. Furthermore, they conduct a comprehensive and systematic review of the IATF16949 documents already implemented, carefully checking and comparing them against established standards, identifying gaps and making necessary corrections. This ensures that every operation in the production process is supported by corresponding IATF16949 documentation, maintaining consistency between document management and actual operations—meaning that whatever is written in the documents must be strictly followed in practice, and records must be kept exactly as documented, leaving no room for any omissions. In addition to persistent internal training, key personnel are sent annually to external study tours and training sessions.

2. Continuously enhance process construction capabilities.

Process construction capability is divided into equipment capability and process control capability. The assurance of equipment capability depends on daily maintenance, TPM inspections, PM activities, and other related tasks. In equipment management, we adhere to the principle of prioritizing the improvement of equipment availability, taking strengthening equipment maintenance and upkeep as the main focus, and aiming at comprehensively enhancing management levels. We follow a management approach characterized by "learning, adjusting, summarizing, and improving," reinforcing four key management areas and carrying out comprehensive equipment upgrade and compliance initiatives. Process control is the cornerstone of quality management; therefore, we have established comprehensive and detailed quality management standards that cover every stage—from product development and process design to raw material procurement, from each individual production step to product release, from packaging to transportation. Every single link must have clearly defined, controllable management standards. We have identified critical process control points in our process control system, giving special attention to these key points, meticulously recording crucial data, and conducting regular inspections.

3. Summarize the issues, develop measures, and oversee implementation.

The company has established a dedicated quality management team, led by the Executive Vice President. The team consistently follows the PDCA (Plan-Do-Check-Act) cycle in its activities. It ensures that project objectives are clearly defined, current issues are thoroughly identified, countermeasures are specific and actionable, responsibilities for implementation are assigned to individual team members, checks and summaries are conducted promptly, improvement results are significant, and the measures are effectively consolidated and widely adopted.

Customer satisfaction stems from excellent quality. In 2019, Ningbo Yongjia Automotive Components will take quality improvement as the key focus of its corporate development, continuously striving for excellence and constantly pushing beyond previous limits, thereby making its due contribution to further advancing the localization of automotive parts!
