140,000 defective cars on production lines / Who is to blame?
Online Economy – جواد هاشمی; According to the statistics of the seven months of this year, the major automakers of the country are not only not close to targeting the production of 1.2 million cars in 1400, but they will even face the ifs and buts of reaching the production statistics of one million units last year.
However, in addition to the decrease in production in October this year compared to September, the supply of new cars to the market is not very favorable and the number of defective cars has increased, so much so that the management of these cars and efforts to finalize the supply. They have become one of the main priorities of automakers in the market and have opened the door to various devices.
In the last days of October this year, Hassan Darvishian – the head of the General Inspection Organization – announced: with the follow-ups, it was decided that the main 145,000 cars that are currently in the parking lots of the two car companies of the country will reach zero by the end of November. By order of the head of the judiciary, a delegation from the National Inspection Agency was appointed to the Competition Council in addition to overseeing the implementation of the council’s missions, to carry out the necessary oversight in terms of increasing the quality, pricing and sales of cars.
Despite the fact that more than a month has passed since this promise, it seems that the automakers have fulfilled this promise in practice, and now the inspection organization has been added to the group of critics of Iran Khodro and Saipa’s performance.
Ashkan Mir Mohammadi, Inspector General of Industry, Mining and Trade of the General Inspection Organization said: September 20, a meeting in the General Inspection Organization with automakers, major parts manufacturers and other influential agencies including the Central Bank, Customs of Iran, Environment Organization and Standard Organization to review The cause of the production car depot was held and the problem of the challenge of accumulating cars in the parking lots of both car companies was investigated.
He stated: The CEO of Iran-Khodro announced that it will increase its parking floor from 90,000 vehicles to 60,000 vehicles by mid-November, and the CEO of Saipa also promised to reduce the company’s 53,000 vehicles to 10,000 units by the end of December, but the evidence This shows that neither of the two car companies was able to reduce their depot vehicles.
According to the officials of the inspection organization, the automakers are waiting for the increase of the prices of their products in order to be able to pay their debts to the parts manufacturers by getting out of the operational loss. The final products accelerate.
Mohammad Reza Najafi Manesh, President of the Association of Homogeneous Parts Manufacturing Industries, in an interview with Eqtesad Online, said that it is difficult to reduce the number of defective cars on production lines and believes that in order to achieve this goal, problems must be solved in several different areas.
He explained that part of the problem of defective cars is not related to Iran and is a global phenomenon. Act on your own. For this reason, not only in Iran but also in many countries of the world and among major automakers such as Toyota, there is a problem with the supply of parts.
According to the President of the Association of Homogeneous Parts Manufacturing Industries, in order to solve this global problem, we must wait for the production to increase again at the international level and allow the import of these parts to Iran and complete the production of the remaining cars in Iran.
Najafi Manesh considered the fact that some parts and raw materials remained in the customs as another cause of incomplete production of domestic cars and said: “We have parts that have been imported into the country but have encountered problems in the clearance process.” Given the country’s production needs, we hope that the necessary assistance will be provided for the clearance of these goods from customs and that car production will accelerate.
“The third factor in the delay in completing the remaining vehicles on the production line is the lack of liquidity of the component makers,” he said. Has been part makers. When this debt is not settled, the manufacturers face liquidity problems and from a certain point on, it can not be expected that the liquidity will be provided through bank facilities and the overdue debts of the automakers will not be settled.
The president of the Homogeneous Parts Manufacturing Industries Association continued: “There has been a lot of talk in recent days about reforming car prices, although we are not aware of the details.” We hope that the government and other decision-makers will order an increase in car prices and exit pricing so that we can find a new way to produce the part and bring it to the production line, because otherwise it will be difficult to continue the current statistics in the future.
The number of incomplete production of automakers has increased while the managers of Iran Khodro and Saipa have repeatedly promised that by increasing production and supply of products to the market, they will seek to reduce inflammation and lower prices. Minister Samat also promised that car production will exceed 1.6 million units next year, which is a significant increase compared to this year’s statistics.
In the current situation, it is difficult to meet the needs of the domestic market, and by implementing methods such as lotteries, the demand for new products is several times higher than the number of cars offered in each round of sales, increasing the number of defective cars can be alarming. It will be in the coming months, and even if the implementation of new methods solves the internal problems of parts supply, international restrictions will make it difficult to speed up the supply of products.
