¿Qué hacer si comete estos errores comunes al comenzar una carrera en la fabricación de automóviles?

Why training is important ? What if we go for execution straight ? a) Training is the key for consistent outcome , inadequate training will lead to poor quality and ultimately leading to rework & consequence is in delayed deliveries . b) When training is overlooked , it will have direct impact on quality outcome and delayed deliveries . Skill associated areas will have deeper impact and sometime it may also lead to irrecoverable loss . Training is very important and more than that training planning is crucial for successful launch . Depending on the skill need and lead time for the skill development, training to be planned with no compromise.

Automotive is entirely different ball game as compared to appliances. Compliances are stricter and loads of document are to be made and kept. Rookies cannot do that. It comes with gradual learning and experience.

Manufacturers of all kinds seek to achieve continuous quality improvement because it ensures the consistency of products delivered to customers and protects against the competition. As far as Quality is concern , its crucial in the automotive sector because defective vehicle parts may lead to expensive recalls—or worse, accidents that cost lives. Continuous quality improvement is essential for the automotive manufacturing industry because it allows for resource effectiveness in terms of time and human resources, significantly reducing manufacturing costs. Few most Important points are : • Adopt a Team Mindset • Define value of the customer point of view • Develop an understanding of the Qulity • Solve problems • Improvement of technology

If we make these mistakes, it means that we have not looked at the whole subject beforehand. Therefore, these issues should be addressed before starting. Maybe we were not qualified for this profession from the beginning.

It's your responsibility to maintain the currency of your KSAs. If you want to be a fast runner, go out and find the next generation of equipment, process, and people. That said, if your employer doesn't offer support for your continued relevance, you might want to look elsewhere.

Quality is the heart of the automotive engineering. We shall never forget to aim for quality assurance as top 1 priority in every single project/activity. In my own experience, at the starting of my junior year in project management for product development, I sometimes aim for meeting the project timeline as highest priority. However, as a consequence, we failed the functional tests and it took so much time and effort to fix the issue. Thus, the lesson learn is always prioritising the quality above anything else. We need to solve every quality issue as soon as possible, dont skip it just to meet the timeline or anything else.

First thing to do is to have quality process flows and control plans in place. This will give the quality and team who wants to learn more about quality, the tools to follow. The quality lead in all companies should not just have certifications. Certification actually means nothing. To be a good quality manager and head of a team, you need much more. Experience in all departments in Automotive. Atleast 5 years in press shop, jigs and fixtures, material flow etc. Inner panels, outer panels. Wheels, hot forming, castings etc. A person with this kind of experience should be the head of the snake if I can call it that for each company. He will guide and teach the team going forward. The team and the company will be in the lead above all.

Justement plusieurs entreprises restent focalisés sur les objectifs de production tout en oubliant que produire c'est bien mais produire un article de qualité c'est encore très bien. Alors l'idéal serait de donner plus de poids à la qualité car c'est elle qui fera éviter les pertes ( temps, matière première, argent...etc )

As well, all customers require quality. With that said, always remember that without quality.. you will be passed up for a company that excels in it.

I think the process starts with product review. Determining what is needed and what will work. Creating a plan and running tests to make sure the process works and is 100%. Once that’s done you need to make sure production is trained and understands what they’re doing to make quality parts. Like someone else said in the comments a lot of production workers are told to hit their numbers, what good is hitting their numbers of completed parts if they aren’t making quality parts.

Safety will affect all aspects of our environment. There is no way around it. The how, what, where and why questions we ask daily must have a safety discipline attached to them in order to make goals daily.

In addition, following these standards becomes habitual. Going home in the same condition you come to work in is vital to longevity in a current position, and shows greatly on your character in consideration for advancement.

Safety is always and forever will be number 1. If you overlook safety or ignore safety protocols within your environment, you will have an absolutely bad time. Never under any circumstances should you ignore the safety of yourself, others, and the equipment that you are operating.

Safe actions for every task begins with us and it's the first priority and one golden rule is ask whenever you don't know or not sure.

Unsafe conditions are certainly not what your job needs, ever. In the world of a project manager, the term safety is the first aspect that is achieved before any work begins, as in writing a JSA (Job Safety Analysis) to ensure safety is included in every task of a project and that the tasks are fully understood by everyone at the job site before any work is allowed to begin. And if conditions change, the work is halted to allow for everyone to understand what is changing, the JSA is updated, and resigned by everyone working on the site before work resumes. Believe me, there is no room on a job site for unsafe behavior. And no one, gets up to go to work to intentionally have an accident. Everyone has the right to be safe.

Knowledge is power. Knowing what you are working with and brushing up on the skills that you already have is a plus in any environment. You will never stop learning, just as technology will not ever stop evolving. We can grow and learn each and every day. Always, learn something new every day.

In my experience, repetitions of common mistakes indicates lack of team work, silo mind set and not clarity of purpose, vision, mission and goals. Second reason is lack of inclusion and diversity. To overcome, emphasis on vision, mission, purpose and goals of organisation which solve most of problems. Commitment of top leadership to resolve issue. Empowering team with inclusion of competent and skilled manpower.

I have found that cross training for different departments, and procedures will definitely bring a fresh perspective to the overall experience. Being able to recognize if a process is done incorrectly and having the ability to correct it while still performing your own process is a major asset to productivity.

Change is not something anyone should be afraid of or closed off to. We make changes to processes and procedures to make them more efficient and effective for everyone to use. No one wants to work harder than they have to, makes for a long and stressful day.

Change is inevitable, technology seems to be driving change constitantly. However there is a limit that cannot be crossed, when we try to justify technology over Human life. Tech will exceed the lifespan of any human and the gap will increase to a point where we will bring about our own destruction. Change should be handled and managed in a manner where we are never not in control of the Goodwill and Safety of the Human factor.

Take time out to learn the history of the company you work for. It gives you background of what the company went through to get where they are today. You may gain insight, appreciation and a little pride when you learn of the history of a company.

First, it’s which segment of the manufacturing area would you want to be in? The total assembly are the manufacture of one component or multiple components or even small manufacture to understand a relations between the biggest assembly plant. The biggest assembly plants are really not manufactures the ones who make each component and some assembly plants do make some of their own components, but in most cases it’s a different group. you search where you want to go and understanding which one you pick either give you the pathway to grow are you will be stuck and just be used as a tool look for the one with most opportunity of exposure. that means sometimes you start small and gather you grow!
