Ukuze bakhiqize imikhiqizo yokunisela abalimi emhlabeni wonke abayethembayo, onjiniyela kanye namaqembu okuqinisekisa ikhwalithi yabakhiqizi bemishini yokunisela abahamba phambili bafaka yonke ingxenye yomkhiqizo ngamunye ezingeni lezempi.
Ukuhlolwa okuqinile kufaka phakathi izibambo zokuqinisekisa ukuthi akukho ukuvuza ngaphansi kokucindezeleka okuphezulu kanye nezimo ezinzima.
“Abanikazi bezinkampani bafuna ikhwalithi ihlotshaniswe nanoma yimuphi umkhiqizo onegama labo, kuze kufike ezinamathiselweni ezisetshenziswayo,” kusho isikhulu esiphezulu sokuthenga sesistimu yokunisela i-OEM, esinomthwalo wokuhlola nokulawula ikhwalithi. Ama-OEM aneminyaka eminingi yesipiliyoni kanye namalungelo obunikazi amaningi ekusetshenzisweni kwezolimo nezimboni.
Nakuba izikhonkwane zivame ukubhekwa njengempahla ezimbonini eziningi, ikhwalithi ingaba yinto ebaluleke kakhulu uma kuziwa ekuqinisekiseni ukuphepha, ukusebenza, kanye nokuqina kwezicelo ezibalulekile.
Ama-OEM asebethembele ku-AFT Industries isikhathi eside ukuthola uhla oluphelele lwezinamathiselo ezimboziwe njengezikulufo, ama-stud, amantongomane nama-washers anobukhulu obuhlukahlukene kanye nokucushwa.
"Amanye amavalvu ethu angabamba futhi alawule ingcindezi yokusebenza efika ku-200 psi. Ukuphahlazeka kungaba yingozi kakhulu. Ngakho-ke, sinikeza imikhiqizo yethu isilinganiso esikhulu sokuphepha, ikakhulukazi amavalvu futhi izibambo zethu kumele zithembeke kakhulu," kusho umthengi oyinhloko.
Kulokhu, waphawula, ama-OEM asebenzisa izikhonkwane ukuxhuma izinhlelo zawo zokunisela kumapayipi, axhuma futhi anikeze amanzi ezinhlanganisweni ezahlukene zemishini yasepulazini engezansi, njengezihinji noma izintambo zesandla.
I-OEM inikeza izinamathiseli ezimboziwe njengekhithi kanye nama-valve ahlukahlukene ewenzayo ukuqinisekisa ukuxhumana okuqinile nepayipi elakhelwe ngaphakathi.
Abathengi bagxila ekhwalithini kunokusabela, intengo kanye nokutholakala lapho besebenzelana nabaphakeli, okusiza ama-OEM ukuthi abhekane nokushaqeka okukhulu kweketanga lokuhlinzeka ngesikhathi sobhubhane.
Ukuze uthole amasethi aphelele ezinamathiselo ezimboziwe njengezikulufo, izipikili, amantongomane kanye nama-washer ngobukhulu obuhlukahlukene kanye nokucushwa, ama-OEM asebethembele isikhathi eside ku-AFT Industries, umsabalalisi wezinamathiselo kanye nemikhiqizo yezimboni yokuhlobisa insimbi yangaphakathi kanye nokuqedela, ukukhiqiza kanye nokufaka/ukuhlanganisa.
Indlunkulu yayo iseMansfield, eTexas, futhi inezikhungo zokusabalalisa ezingaphezu kuka-30 kulo lonke elase-United States futhi inikeza izinamathiseli ezijwayelekile nezingokwezifiso ezingaphezu kuka-500,000 ngamanani ancintisanayo ngewebhusayithi ye-e-commerce elula ukuyisebenzisa.
Ukuqinisekisa ikhwalithi, ama-OEM adinga abasabalalisi ukuthi banikeze izibambo ngesiphetho esikhethekile se-zinc nickel.
“Senze ukuhlolwa okuningi kokufuthwa ngosawoti ezinhlotsheni ezahlukene zokumboza. Sithole ungqimba lwe-zinc-nickel olwalumelana kakhulu nomswakama nokugqwala. Ngakho-ke sicele ungqimba olujiyile kunalolo oluvamile embonini,” kusho umthengi.
Ukuhlolwa okujwayelekile kokufuthwa kukasawoti kwenziwa ukuze kuhlolwe ukumelana nokugqwala kwezinto nezinto zokuvikela. Ukuhlolwa kulingisa indawo egqwalayo ngesikhathi esisheshayo.
Abasabalalisi bezikhonkwane zasekhaya abanamakhono okumboza ngaphakathi basindisa ama-OEM isikhathi esiningi nemali.
"Lesi simbozo sinikeza ukumelana okuhle kakhulu nokugqwala futhi sinikeza izikhonkwane ukubukeka okuhle. Ungasebenzisa isethi yezikhonkwane namantongomane ensimini iminyaka eyi-10 futhi izikhonkwane zizoqhubeka zikhanya hhayi ukugqwala. Leli khono libalulekile ezikhonkwaneni eziniselwayo," esho.
Ngokusho komthengi, njengomhlinzeki ohlukile, waya kwezinye izinkampani kanye nabakhiqizi be-electroplating ngesicelo sokunikeza ubukhulu obudingekayo, inani kanye nemininingwane yezinamathiselo ezikhethekile ezimboziwe. "Kodwa-ke, sasihlala senqatshwa. I-AFT kuphela eyayihlangabezana nemininingwane yenani esasilidinga," esho.
Njengomthengi omkhulu, vele, intengo ihlala iyiyona nto ebaluleke kakhulu. Kulokhu, uthe amanani avela kubathengisi be-fastener anengqondo impela, okubangela ukuthengiswa kanye nokuncintisana kwemikhiqizo yenkampani yakhe.
Abasabalalisi manje bathumela amakhulu ezinkulungwane zezinamathiselo kuma-OEM njalo ngenyanga ngamakhithi ahlukahlukene, izikhwama namalebula.
"Namuhla, kubaluleke kakhulu kunanini ngaphambili ukuthi sisebenzisane nomthengisi othembekile. Kudingeka balungele ukugcina amashalofu abo egcwele yonke impahla ngaso sonke isikhathi futhi babe namandla ezezimali okwenza kanjalo. Kudingeka bazuze ukwethembeka kwamakhasimende anjengathi angenakukwazi ukuphelelwa yimpahla noma abhekane nokubambezeleka okukhulu ekulethweni," kusho umthengi.
Njengabakhiqizi abaningi, izinkampani ze-OEM zibhekane nethuba lokuphazamiseka kokuhlinzekwa ngesikhathi sobhubhane kodwa zisebenze kangcono kunezinye ngenxa yobudlelwano bazo nabahlinzeki basekhaya abathembekile.
“Ukulethwa kwe-JIT kube yinkinga enkulu kubakhiqizi abaningi ngesikhathi sobhubhane abathole ukuthi izintambo zabo zokuhlinzeka ziphazamisekile futhi azikwazi ukugcwalisa ama-oda ngesikhathi. Kodwa-ke, lokhu akubanga yinkinga kithi njengoba ngiyabazi abaphakeli bethu. Sikhetha ukuthola okuningi ngangokunokwenzeka ngaphakathi.” amazwe,” kusho umthengi.
Njengenkampani egxile kwezolimo, ukuthengiswa kwe-OEM yesistimu yokunisela kuvame ukulandela amaphethini abikezelwayo njengoba abalimi bevame ukugxila emisebenzini eshintsha ngezikhathi ezithile zonyaka, okuthinta nabasabalalisi abagcina imikhiqizo yabo.
"Izinkinga zivela lapho kuba nokwanda okungazelelwe kwesidingo, okwenzekile eminyakeni embalwa edlule. Lapho kuthengwa ngokwesaba, amakhasimende angathola ngokushesha imikhiqizo yonyaka," kusho umthengi.
Ngenhlanhla, abahlinzeki bayo bezinto zokubopha basabela ngokushesha ngesikhathi esibucayi phakathi nobhubhane, lapho ukwanda kwesidingo kwakusongela ukuntuleka kokunikezwa.
“I-AFT yasisiza lapho sinesidingo esingalindelekile senani elikhulu lama-propeller ahlanganisiwe angu-#6-10. Bahlela ukuthi ama-propeller ayisigidi athuthwe ngendiza kusenesikhathi. Balawula isimo futhi basicubungula. Ngashayela ucingo u-Call futhi bakulungisa,” kusho umthengi.
Amakhono okumboza nokuhlola abasabalalisi bangaphakathi njenge-AFT avumela ama-OEM ukuthi onge isikhathi nemali eningi lapho osayizi be-oda behluka noma kunemibuzo mayelana nokuhlangabezana nemininingwane eqinile.
Ngenxa yalokho, ama-OEM akudingeki athembele kuphela emithonjeni yasogwini, okungabambezela ukuqaliswa ngezinyanga lapho izinketho zasekhaya zingahlangabezana kalula nomthamo wazo kanye nezidingo zekhwalithi.
Umthengi oyinhloko wengeze wathi, eminyakeni edlule, umsabalalisi usebenzisane nenkampani yakhe ukuthuthukisa yonke inqubo yokuphakelwa kwezibambo, okuhlanganisa ukumbozwa, ukupakisha, ukufaka ama-pallet kanye nokuthunyelwa.
"Bahlala benathi uma sifuna ukwenza izinguquko ukuze sithuthukise imikhiqizo yethu, izinqubo kanye nebhizinisi lethu. Bangabalingani bangempela empumelelweni yethu," uphetha.
Isikhathi sokuthunyelwe: Mashi-10-2023
