AAK Hydraulic Manifold Manufacturer Process Management

Every October is the peak period for overseas customer visits. Hydraulic
manifold manufacturer AAK has received 5 batches of customers and 2 new
hydraulic manifold customers. Isaac, an old friend of hydraulic manifold
manufacturer AAK, comes from Russia and his name is closely related to our
name AAK. He has been busy in Ningbo for 2 days this time. After discussing
several new hydraulic manifold developments in the AAK conference room,
Isaac took out a business card and asked me if I know about this hydraulic
manifold manufacturer in Ningbo. He would like to take me to visit this
factory. Their company's other team purchased 10 sets of SUN standard
hydraulic manifolds from this hydraulic manifold manufacturer, and there
were no major issues, but there was leakage in the plug that was integrated
into the manifold.

 From the business card, I don't know this hydraulic manifold manufacturer.
It's a bit awkward to go to a factory in the same industry. Isaac seems to
feel my concern. The idea he gave me was that after arriving at this
hydraulic manifold manufacturer, if we knew each other, I would wait in the
car. If we don't know each other, then I'll follow him. Due to Isaac's
persistence, I can only drive him along.

Isaac contacted the other party and made an appointment to arrive at this
hydraulic manifold manufacturer after 2 hours. Fortunately, we didn't know
each other after meeting. I gave Isaac a reminder that we didn't know each
other, and Isaac asked me to follow him in. After looking at the workshop
first, the factory is not big. This hydraulic manifold manufacturer only
produces manifold blocks and reassembles purchased hydraulic cartridge
valves and other hydraulic components into hydraulic manifolds. This type of
hydraulic manifold manufacturer does not require high technical content.
Isaac started discussing the leakage of the plug in the hydraulic manifolds
with them, and the boss seemed very angry about why such a low-level error
occurred. He called in 3 people to communicate face-to-face. From the
perspective of the scene, I felt it like a dead cycle, no one was wrong.
Alas! It's not easy for the boss of a hydraulic manifold manufacturer to
encounter a prickly management team.

 I don't speak, I'm only responsible for recording. The boss of the
hydraulic manifold manufacturer questioned A, who was in charge of quality.
A stood up and said, "Quality is produced." This statement has a killing
effect and pushes the blame. The boss immediately asked B, who was in charge
of production, but B said, "The quality of production is guaranteed by
technology, and production is just an executor. I feel that this B is more
piercing than A. The boss turned to C, who was in charge of the technical
department and next to him. C seemed angry and said, "I have adjusted the
program and handed it over to the production department. Quality supervision
should be carried out in the later stage. Throughout the production process,
no one has reported any issues. Now that the customer complains, they come
to me. I won't take responsibility for this issue”. Isaac asked me what
they were discussing, and I can only say that they seem to be looking for a
reason. The meeting has finally come to an end, and the problem seems to
have been resolved, but it also doesn't seem to have been resolved. What I
want to say is that in the quality management of hydraulic manifold
manufacturers, there should be processes and systems, especially a
comprehensive quality system. Inspection is only a small part of the
functions of the quality department. If there are quality problems with
hydraulic manifolds in the production workshop, they should follow the
process to deduce. The first step is to identify the fault phenomenon and
summarize the information. The second step is to identify the cause of the
fault and determine the responsibility (design, drawing, production,
component, assembly). The third step is to sort out the original production
quality management process, identify and supplement deficiencies in the
quality management system process, and solidify it.

On the way back, Isaac asked me what is my impression of this hydraulic
manifold manufacturer. I'm not sure how many hydraulic manifold
manufacturers like this are in Ningbo, the hometown of hydraulic valves in
China. Upgrading to a hydraulic manifold manufacturer is not difficult for
manufacturers who can produce hydraulic cartridge valves themselves. But
hydraulic manifold manufacturers may not be able to produce hydraulic
cartridge valves well. For the problems encountered by hydraulic manifold
manufacturers, no one may be able to solve them, so hire someone who can
solve them. However, this person can be very challenging, expensive, and
even more difficult to manage. If someone is hired to handle the process,
the participants will be linked to each other and if encounter problems,
continuously optimizing the process. Use processes to solve problems and
review potential quality problems.

Hydraulic manifold manufacturer AAK in Ningbo China, do not choose prick,
but the process.
