The importance of Core Tools in the Automobile Industry
Within the Automotive Industry, the Core Tools, are an essential part of process improvement. For vehicle assemblers, they represent an opportunity to improve the conditions under which every process operates, and are a requirement imposed on suppliers.
Through this, they seek supplier assurance of the best quality and, above all, compliance with requirements for the products they purchase.
The main problem is not implementation but maintaining the tools and ensuring companies use them properly, because today they are not actually being used correctly.
For example, it is of no use to us to have implemented AMEF, if errors persist and continue occurring, and worse still, if we have established the process of RETRABAJO or REPROCESS. And we have to understand a situation: "The client's NOT gonna pay us for that.", therefore, everything becomes an expense, which directly affects profit.
So, let’s go step by step:
First of all, we have to understand what our Customer wants our products to meet their requirements and specifications.
Second, that the Core Tools, are tools that help us do this and also create continuous improvement processes.
And third, that keeps functioning the Core Tools, properly, should bring us multiple benefits, such as controlling processes, eliminating waste, and increasing profits, thereby maintaining business profitability and achieving organizational success.
