The law of auto parts consumption
1. Regularity of consumption of auto parts
The consumption of auto parts is regular. According to the mileage of automobiles, there are regulations for maintenance and repair at all levels. Various types of maintenance require the exchange of several types of accessories. For example, during the normal service life of a car, the damage of parts is random and sporadic. If its design and manufacturing quality are good, the damage rate is generally very low.
2. Changes in the consumption of accessories
1) The replacement of auxiliary assembly is increased. The auxiliary assembly parts that are frequently replaced during maintenance include distributors, air compressors, generators, starters, water pumps, gasoline pumps, brake shoes, clutch friction plates, etc. When the auxiliary assembly fails, most users require replacement of the new assembly, and the old parts are replaced as spare parts after maintenance. Correspondingly, the consumption of parts and components that make up these auxiliary assemblies is drastically reduced.
2) Mass use of assemblies and kits. For example, pistons with rings with pins, pistons with rings with pins and connecting rods, finished to repair sizes at various levels, and crankshaft bushings that can be used when installed, are becoming more and more popular with users and repairers. Corresponding single-piece or unprocessed varieties of this kind have suffered cold reception.
3. Reasons for the above changes
1) Update of user time concept. In the fierce market competition, the concept that time is efficiency and time is money is firmly rooted in people's minds. In order to gain time, users requested that the repair days be shortened as much as possible, and the utilization rate of in-use vehicles should be maximized. In order to meet the requirements of users, maintenance manufacturers also try their best to obtain the above accessories.
2) With the development of the automobile industry and parts manufacturing industry, as well as the high standards of modern cars for maintenance quality, maintenance parts are required to have the characteristics of precision, convenient use and maintenance, reasonable matching, and high reliability. These characteristics are evident in the supply of accessories.
4. Measures to adapt to the regular changes in consumption of auto parts
Seriously study the changes in the consumption pattern of auto repair parts, and organize timely supply of marketable varieties to the market. No longer organize slow-selling varieties in batches to prevent new backlogs. Try to make use of the spare parts in stock and assemble them into small assemblies of qualified quality to supply the market. Entrust the factory to process and combine single parts into matching parts or size assemblies to supply the market. Separate the loose seals into categories and make repair kits for the market, such as master cylinders, sub-cylinder repair kits, engine repair kits, etc. The lubricating oil (grease) and special fluid that must be changed for vehicle maintenance are packaged in containers of vehicle specifications and supplied to the market.
