The Cradle of Power Capital - A Record of Yuchai’s Creative Workforce

The Yuchai Group, the largest independent diesel engine production base in the world, is known as the "Millennium Ancient State and Lingnan Metropolis," and it is like a shining pearl and has become a unique landscape in this Lingnan City.

Yuchai Group was founded in 1951 and has 29 wholly-owned, holding, and shareholding subsidiaries with 17,000 employees. Looking back at the years in the history of Yuchai’s towering tree, many people were surprised to find that even though the remote homeland has not yet reached the airport, Yuchai was able to incorporate many of the leading figures in the industry. :

Liang Heping, pioneered and implemented an evaluation index system for innovation capability, raised Yuchai's R&D system to a level close to international standards, and chaired the development of the first domestic YC4W micro-engined diesel engine with full intellectual property rights, and the first domestic diesel engine to meet the national standard IV emission standards. The engine 6L350-40, the first natural gas engine that meets the national emission standard IV emission standard in China, and the first domestic diesel engine that meets the V emission standard of the target country are now the deputy general managers of Yuchai Corporation;

Zhuo Bin, the leader of electronic control technology for diesel engines in China, develops and develops control systems for vehicle powertrain electronic control systems, diesel electronic control systems, electronically controlled diesel engines, hybrid vehicles, and fuel cell vehicles, as well as pure electric cars. The development of the vehicle and the development of its control system have achieved remarkable results. The Chinese internal combustion engine industry is known as the "Nordic Yang Nan Zhuo Bin" ("Nordic Yang" refers to Professor Ouyang Minggao of Tsinghua University, "South Zhuo Bin" refers to Professor Zhuo Bin), currently Yuchai is the director of the Engineering Institute;

Li Qin is an earlier professional engaged in the research of diesel engine selective catalytic reduction (SCR) and particulate traps, and led the development of China's first self-owned brand IV diesel engine, which is China's commercial vehicle country IV. Ultimately choose the SCR technology meritorious figure. He has participated in the promotion of small-scale high-speed direct-injection diesel engine of German FEV engine technology company in Asia. He was hailed as the "first person to introduce passenger car diesel engine to China" by China Automobile Engineering Society. Now he is the senior technical consultant of Yuchai's chairman.

Shen Jie: Experts who enjoy the "Special Government Allowance of the State Council" presided over the development of the four-valve diesel engine, horizontal diesel engine, and passenger car diesel engine to fill the current domestic blank Yuchai's chief engineer.

......

On April 8, at the Yuchai Engineering Research Institute, Zhou Sunhai, assistant to the dean of the Yuchai Engineering Institute, lamented: “For Yuchai’s 100 billion yuan in sales revenue, talent and technology must go first.”

It is precisely because Yuchai has such a large and creative labor group. Yuchai has won many awards such as the "100-year Achievement Award" of China's internal combustion engine industry, China's top ten honesty enterprises, and the top rank of China's top 100 auto parts companies. Since 2001, for 8 consecutive years, Yuchai has grown at an annual rate of more than 30%, creating a unique Yuchai phenomenon in the industry.

Increase production capacity in January

During the two sessions this year, Yu Ping, the NPC deputy and chairman of Yuchai’s board of directors, revealed that Yuchai’s production in February and March was very busy. Many owners of the main plant called him to “grab” the engine.

Under the severe situation in which the global financial crisis continued to spread, Yuchai went against the tide and orders continued to rise. Products were in short supply. Among them, the production and sales of the engine segment exceeded 15,000 units in the first quarter, which was a year-on-year increase of 4%, of which 90,000 units were produced and sold in March. It increased by 26% and reached a record high. The construction machinery sector achieved a record high in domestic sales in February, which was a year-on-year increase of 150%. In March, domestic sales of excavators increased 25% year-on-year, achieving “two firsts” in a single month: the domestic sales volume of excavators below 15 tons in the country ranked first. One; exports ranked first. Once again, the “Yuchai Phenomenon” that contradicts the upward trend was staged.

On April 9, at the vehicle and engine assembly section of Engine 2 of Yuchai Diesel Engine Co., Ltd., the director of the project, who was able to tell the reporter about the employees of the entire factory, fought side by side in March and even broke through the historical records of the eight customs. “In 2008, the highest monthly production record for 124 people in our factory was 450 units. In March of this year, 108 people in the factory created a record of 680 units! There is no increase in equipment, fewer personnel, and production capacity has increased by more than 50%. We are even Oh, eight!"

In Yuchai, reporters everywhere can feel a miracle that employees created when they crossed the difficulties with the company. This further convinces us that Yuchai’s uptrend is not accidental. Whether in the low or peak period of the company, Yuchai always adheres to the implementation of innovation and incentive mechanisms, researches and develops leading products, fosters innovative culture, introduces and cultivates innovative talents, and focuses on independent innovation to build China's dynamic national brands.

In January 2009, Yuchai proudly announced to the public: In 2008, Yuchai Group's sales revenue exceeded 20 billion yuan for the first time, reaching 20.988 billion yuan, an increase of 13.51% over the same period of last year; diesel engine production and sales reached 550,000 units, and remained domestic for eight consecutive years. With the industry's production and sales first. Yuchai Group's goal of “rebuilding a Yuchao in three years” proposed at the beginning of 2006 is on schedule!

"I was not nervous about the decline in sales during last year's severe financial crisis. I was not determined to be a hero at one time." This was a word that Junping spoke to reporters during the two sessions of the country.

In the first quarter of 2009, many companies were busy with the difficulties brought about by the financial crisis. Yuchai was busy producing Yuchai engines that were in short supply. Since 2001, the production and sales volume of Yuchai’s engines has topped the nation for eight consecutive years. This cannot be separated from Yuchai’s innovation, culture and team. Yuchai's product development principle of “advance conception and leading application” adheres to the production of a generation, R&D of a generation, planning of a generation, and constructs a large series of multi-variety product patterns with a wide power coverage and a wide range of application, which lays the foundation for rapid market occupation. The acquisition of the "National Quality Award" further consolidates Yuchai's position as a benchmark in management innovation in the industry. The core concept of "green development, harmony and mutual benefit" covers the company's responsibility, excellence, humanism, and values. The corporate culture leads all Yuchai people toward "creating world-renowned brands and accomplishing large multinational corporations." Vision strives hard. The best domestic engine R&D team, brave and brave sales team, the production team called Tiejun, and the management team that led the company's successful transformation have all become important factors in promoting the continued healthy development of Yuchai.

World Talents Creates Yuchai Albert CHAN

“In the field of passenger car engines and commercial engines, Yuchai produces 13 varieties in more than 2,000 varieties, with power ranging from 11 to 441 kilowatts. By 2008, the argument that came back from sales was that wherever it was used, Yuchai products are used in places where diesel engines are used.” In the office building of the Yuchai Engineering Research Institute, Zhou Sunhai, assistant to the dean, pointed out the most important part of the company’s lifeline—R&D.

Zhou Sunhai said Yuchai has been at the forefront of domestic engine R&D, which has greatly enhanced the company's ability to resist risks. “The financial crisis has had a great impact on commercial vehicles since last year, but Yuchai still maintains a very popular scene in terms of agricultural vehicles. In March, orders were 76,000 units (65,000 units were produced) and one month's output was equivalent to 2001. Yearly output! This is the potential for product development."

Zhou Sunhai, who has studied mathematics, has been working in Yuchai for 17 years. He has witnessed Yuchai’s consistent attention to scientific research and his love of scientific research teams.

The technical innovation of Yuchai’s other core plate engineering machinery segment has always revolved around “being the largest production and export base for small and medium-sized construction machinery in China in the spirit of responsible and continuous innovation and striving to be the No. 1 brand in China’s small and medium-sized construction machinery. The long-term goal is to develop small and medium-sized construction machinery with Chinese national brands, high levels, large volumes, multiple varieties, wide coverage, and advanced applications that meet the needs of customers at home and abroad. Yuchai pays attention to the investment in scientific research, and draws 5% to 7% of the annual revenue from product sales as funding for scientific research activities, providing a stable guarantee for the normal development of various scientific research and innovation activities. At the same time, improve the incentive mechanism for scientific and technological talents, implement post appointment system and annual salary system for product development and design, craftsmanship, quality, equipment, service, standards, etc., and negotiate various salary methods such as wage system, fully mobilize technological innovation of scientific and technical personnel. Enthusiasm and initiative. Yuchai has also established a performance appraisal system for scientific and technical personnel. Once a month, the company evaluates the organization once and the results of performance appraisal are linked to salaries.

The Engineering Research Institute established in July 2007 is the first enterprise engineering research institute in the industry. The institute has a total of 360 people, including 18 doctors, 56 masters, 28 senior engineers, and 3 special allowances from the State Council. Supports R&D teams with multinational corporate backgrounds and practical experience. The 35 members of the Engineering Research Institute committee are all top-ranking experts in the domestic automotive industry. In the evaluation of 483 national technology centers across the country in 2007, the Yuchai Technology Center jumped from No. 100 in 2005 to No. 36. The Institute has implemented a "two-dimensional value quantification" management mechanism, which is "horizontal and vertical" two-dimensional, vertical management of high-level development projects, horizontal administration. In layman's terms, the distribution and incentive management system is based on the size of each person’s contribution. Zhou Sunhai exampled that if there are currently 10 tasks, there will be 10 project managers and the project managers will select partners. The more projects that can participate, of course, the higher the income, which requires continuous improvement of their own capabilities to gain more opportunities. Zhou Sunhai said that since the implementation of this management system in 2007, it has successfully created an “upward, investment-oriented” working atmosphere. Everyone understands that their own contributions will not be wasted.

Yuchai has national-level enterprise technology centers, national accredited laboratories, post-doctoral scientific research workstations, Guangxi Power Talent Heights and other platforms, and cooperates with a number of well-known scientific research institutions at home and abroad, including the United States, Germany, Tsinghua University, and Shanghai Jiaotong University. The product research and development workstations form an advanced R&D platform with independent research and development technology as the core and Europe and the United States as the supporting technologies. Yuchai deserves to be hailed as "the green capital of China" and has become a "cradle for everyone" to cultivate engine talents.

Only two years between 2007 and 2008, Yuchai received 6 national “863” high-tech research projects; participated in the formulation of a number of national industry standards; pioneered the introduction of III, IV diesel engines and sedan with independent intellectual property rights to the market. Chai Engine; The only "Independent Innovation Achievement Award" in Guangxi is the most authorized unit in Guangxi and industry patent filing and processing.

On December 29, 2008, Yuchai Jinshi and Yuchai Heavy Industry passed the accreditation of the state-level high-tech enterprises and became a high-tech enterprise that passed strict examination and approval in 2008 and once again demonstrated its strength. This year, Yuchai invested RMB 310 million to build a R&D base in Nanning. The project has officially started and is expected to be completed after three years of use.

Build a shared growth platform for employees

On November 25, 2008, ten technicians Chen Jinyuan, Su Wei, and Chi Zhao-hui stood on the podium of the Yuchai Group. The ten top-notch technicians each won a laptop in warm applause.

Chen Jinyuan, who graduated from junior high school as a fitter apprentice, became a senior technician and a winner of the National May 1st Labour Medal. With his love for this line and his courage to delve into hard work, he climbed the technical lead. The most important thing Chen Jinyuan has learned so far is how to let more technicians impart their own technical experience to more workers without reservation.

During Chen Jinyuan’s career, he still delighted with the fact that in 2004 he successfully developed a diesel engine mold for cars. In that year, Chen Jinyuan and his entourage once went to Guangdong to learn from the Bible, but they encountered a nail. "These are imported from Japan. We don't have this ability." Chen Jinyuan visited Europe for this purpose, but at the time Germany produced a mold of 1.9 million euros. The equivalent of 19 million yuan, it will take 8 months. After returning under pressure, Yuchai grouped more than a dozen people in the research team. Chen Jinyuan was the project team leader. After three months, the design and manufacturing was successful. It only cost 1.5 million yuan, and he successfully made a prototype once. . This project successfully applied for three patents and two inventions.

“The life is done beautifully! The Yuchai people have a stubborn spirit to resist defeat!” Chen Jinyuan recalled the scene at the time and exclaimed: “It was Yuchai who nurtured us. We and Yuchai are like mothers and sons.”

On July 10, 2008, Yuchai established the first technicians association in Guangxi with more than 400 members, covering all types of work such as internal combustion engines, foundry technology, equipment maintenance, and mechanical processing. Chen Jinyuan serves as president of the association. Chen Jinyuan hopes that the Craftsman Association can become a platform for further implementing the requirements of “creating creative labor groups”, and urges members to do a good job of training, helping, and leading high-skilled personnel, and accelerate the pace of cultivating new technicians.

At present, Chen Jinyuan is organizing and compiling a compendium of experience for technicians in order to better carry out technical inheritance. Chen Jinyuan said with pride: “When workers are also going to stand up to earth! As long as the institute designs what kind of models, we can make what kind of mold.”

The technicians were regarded by Yu Ping, chairman of Yuchai’s board of directors, as “the baby of Yuchai” and asked all subsidiary companies and departments to attach great importance to the training and selection of technicians. Yuchai’s leadership has profoundly realized that talents are the basis of strategic implementation, and a large number of innovative and outstanding talents are the key to Yuchai’s achievement of “rebuilding a Yuchai in three years”. Yuchai Technician Association and professional skill contest are the best training and selection platform for Yuchai technicians. The activities of the technicians' association are rich and varied. They have played an important role in promoting the technical level of workers and building a "creative working group" through such activities as division and practice, seminars on production sites, sharing of technical experiences, and studying and learning in other places.

Chi Zhaohui, the proud disciple of Chen Jinyuan, also stood out in the skills competition. After he studied with Chen Jinyuan, the master was “a benchmarking shadow” in his eyes. Chi Zhao had an obsession with the mold similar to Chen Jinyuan on his face. After graduating from Liuzhou Technical School in 1994, Chi Zhao gradually grew from an ordinary fitter to a top-notch technician in the university in Yuchai. From the beginning it was only a metal mold to a mold that can now be 2.8 meters long. Chi Chih-jae as an apprentice undoubtedly made the master proud, and now Chi Zhao-Jia also became the master of five apprentices in the inheritance atmosphere of Yuchai. His disciples won the No. One, his face also bloomed with the same proud smile of the master Chen Jinyuan.

The Yuchai Group Occupational Skills Competition is held once every year on a large scale. The top 3 players of the type of work are granted the title of “Technical Models” or “Technical Experts” directly, and they are sent to participate in the regional or national vocational skills competition. In the 2008 Yuchai Professional Skills Competition, a total of 385 employees participated in the competition, involving 11 major jobs, and nearly 100 people participated in the organization, evaluation and logistic service work of the professional skills competition. The 2008 event was Yuchai’s history with the largest number of participants, the largest and most complete types of work. The organizing department and related units are all working hard, with only one purpose: to improve the quality of employees.

The Yuchai training center is responsible for the training and promotion of 17,000 people. Wan Shenglan, the person in charge of the training center, said, “Our employees must be trained as long as they are free,” and “training at the skill level is not possible. More teachers and classrooms.” After years of practice, teacher training with disabilities has become one of the effective ways for Yuchai to train highly-skilled personnel. The training center organizes teachers and activities as a key event of the year. Since May of last year, the training center has been making great efforts to promote this work. The company-level 37 has sent special personnel to follow the mentoring, and at the same time, it has implemented and directed 81 pairs of departmental and 494 pairs of mentoring.

In recent years, Yuchai has also strengthened its cooperation with universities and research institutes at home and abroad through the “school-enterprise” cooperation method through the production, research and research projects, and closely cooperates with Tsinghua University, Tianjin University, Jilin University, and Shanghai Jiaotong University in China. In cooperation with foreign companies, Austrian ALV, German FEV, BOSCH and other famous engine development and technology consulting companies conduct "strong-strong" alliances, on the one hand to ensure that the product technology and the world's advanced technology docking, on the other hand for each employee Opportunities for growth and development in the post.

Building a Harmonious and Warm Entrepreneur Park

Yuchai has an exquisite album containing such a piece of text: Yuchai is like a big tree in southern China. It is firmly rooted in this piece of red land and wins with a lofty win. In Yuchai, employees can freely sway their talents and practice their ideas; they can share the fruits of victory and feel a happy life; they can freely grow and improve their own level.

This is indeed a true portrayal of Yuchai’s work and life. “Yuchai Family Service Car” is a unique scenery that has been flowing for many years. The family service car has provided warm service to the marketing soldiers and their families, delivered nutritious meals to overtime employees, sent blessings to the families of the scientific and technical personnel, and is a new employee. Caring for care; giving employees children scholarships, open their doors to meet their employment.

Yuchai Group’s trade unions used the workers’ satisfaction with dissatisfaction, unhappiness, unyielding promises, and advocacy and non-advocacy as the fundamental criteria for examining the quality of trade union work. The work on weekdays focuses on starting with small things, starting from scratch, and fulfilling their duties to serve employees. The chairman of Jisi Labor Union Rao Yingxian took his fingers and counted on the “little things” done for his staff on weekdays: he let the workers in the production factories drink milk every day; he purchased quilts, beds, etc. for employees during large-scale production; set aside 100,000 yuan of labor union funds each year to set up. In the production area, a convenient medicine kit will be sent to the doctors to send medicines to the post; every summer, the front line staff will use the tea to cool down and cool down; more than 10 microwave ovens will be sent to the workshops to facilitate the workshop staff to dine...

"These labor unions can't do it or not, and the workers have to work hard!" Rao Yingxian said solemnly.

This is Yuchai's effort to highlight people's care in one small thing after another, always keeping the employees in mind. In 2005, Yuchai Group promulgated and implemented the "Umbrella Group's Child Employment Management Regulations," "Yuchai Group Workers' Difficult Subsidy Regulations," and the "Yuchai Group Scholarship Scholarship Fund Constitution," and other important regulations concerning the immediate interests of employees and The system has further protected the legal rights and interests of employees from the system.

We will do a good job in the implementation of various relief plans, and earnestly do a good job of providing workers with serious illnesses and serious illnesses. Since 2005, Yuchai has organized employees to participate in the "Guangxi District Medical Staff Mutual Protection Plan", which costs 40 yuan per year. The insurance costs are borne by the labor union and the staff and workers, so as to increase staff's risk of serious illness and serious illness. To date, 17 employees who have had terminal illnesses have been paid and the total amount of compensation is 255,000 yuan.

Actively organize and implement the “Spring Buds Program” to rescue out-of-school girls. Since 2006, every year, 500 poverty-stricken female students have been sent to school in Yulin’s (county) city.

In 2008, Yuchai established a "love supermarket" for employees. It aims to protect the basic living needs of Yuchai Group's low-guarantee households and families of poorly-paid workers. It seeks to resolve the source of the help and relief items and forms a good social atmosphere of “I love everyone, everyone loves me”.

Over the years, Yuchai has always adhered to the implementation of the "people's mind project" and strived to create a comfortable working and living environment for employees. First of all, starting from the hardware facilities, Yuchai Group labor unions completed the construction of 25 facilities in cultural centers, gymnasiums, staff canteens, and the Ministry of Health. Concerned about public welfare undertakings, actively participated in the “Spring Bud” campaign to support girls, and provided disaster relief activities. We formulated and promulgated a series of systems and norms, actively carried out family services and holiday condolence activities, and established a long-term mechanism for staff to do good and practical matters. At the same time as obtaining Yuchai employees' recognition and praise, they also wrote a new movement for the construction of a harmonious Yuchai.
