The question about the quality of the JV "GM - AvtoVAZ" ...

Last week, deputy director of quality of "AvtoVAZ" George Yunak met with representatives of the plant media in a live radio VAZ "New Age". Talking to reporters touched on improving the quality of VAZ cars, with allied enterprises, cooperation with "GM - AvtoVAZ". - What experience has Volzhsky, working with "GM-AvtoVAZ"? The joint venture has very strict requirements for quality of delivered components, and therefore work towards compliance with these requirements is the time. In this situation we need to derive maximum benefit, and new requirements that we have learned, should apply to other products of AvtoVAZ. - At last year's international conference on the quality of AvtoVAZ has been called a pioneer in working with suppliers. How does this work will continue in 2003? The share of purchased quality grows continuously in connection with the withdrawal of a number of industries outside the factory grounds for the company involved. In 2003, more stringent contracts for the purchase of materials and components, presented the requirements for certification of quality systems of suppliers in accordance with the new version of ISO standards. The requirements become more stringent, not only in the external supply sector, this also applies to deliveries within the plant, where production is a consumer product of another. - The problem of quality is important not only for the Volga Automobile Plant, but also to other automobile companies in the country. Whether collaborating with other AvtoVAZ car factory in terms of improving quality of supply, are there any joint projects? Of course. Given the fact that we have with other automobile suppliers is common, the main thrust of our work together - this is unification of requirements to suppliers. This saves money as the suppliers that provide components of the two automobile plants, as well as by the car factory. Standardization also applies to quality systems, and technical conditions, and organizational methods of work. Moreover, we periodically conduct joint audits of our suppliers. This cooperation works on the quality of supply - is a worldwide practice. About 10 years ago, most "troika" - "General Motors", "Chrysler" and "Ford" was released standard QS-9000, which just specifies the rules that work with suppliers. Standard QS changed over time, to work on it joined the European automotive community, resulting in a new version - ISO / TS 16949. These are the stringent requirements placed on us JSC "GM - AvtoVAZ". - How to check the quality of the car? Each piece has its own manufacturing technology and its control technology. Given that the car is about 10 thousand pieces, and assume that each technology is composed of 10 operations, of the order of 100 000 control operations. Assembled cars are a series of different tests, road and poster. There are a number of international safety requirements for cars. Part of the testing of our vehicles to meet safety requirements shall Yutaka company in France. - The example of CJSC "GM - AvtoVAZ" and other joint ventures can observe a trend that the world's automakers are coming to the Russian industry with new technologies, new philosophy of quality. Can one say about such a trend among vazovskih subcontractors? Yes. There are a number of joint ventures in Russia for production of automotive components. This is usually a small compact enterprises with technology at the highest level, prepared by Western standards staff. Among such companies - OOO "Automotive Lighting" (Ryazan), which provides lights for cars VAZ-2110; plant PES / SCC ("Packard Electric Systems' and Samara Cable Company), which supplies electrical harnesses; of" Bosch Saratov "(g.Engels) supplied by AvtoVAZ controllers, oxygen sensors, fuel pump modules, electronic control units. It is also a company "VDO Automotive Components" (g.Chistopol), which produces a combination of devices for automobiles VAZ-2110 and "Samara-2". "VDO" - this is a very famous brand, the products of this company and bought the world's carmakers such as "Mercedes." It should be noted that there are Russian companies operating on a global level. For example, the Moscow firm "NPP ITELMA," which! Paradise locked electrically produces high quality. Or plant in Chelyabinsk "Plastic," which is rapidly growing. You can also call the company "UralElastotehnika" (Ekaterinburg). That is, the dynamics in Russia is. Svetlana Lysyakova
