Various Types of Parts

a

CKD Parts

CKD is a term that is quite common!

The full English name is: Completely Knocked Down

The full German name is: in Einzelteile zerlegt

The Chinese explanation is: complete knockdown procurement / completely disassembled imported parts and assemblies.

Do you think there are some differences among the Chinese, English, and German? There are actually some stories behind this.

CKD in English means “completely disassembled“. In other words, CKD cars are imported or introduced when the cars are in a completely disassembled state, and then all the parts are assembled into a complete vehicle.

A practical significance is that since the procurement is for parts rather than assemblies, it can save a lot of costs.

b

SKD Parts

After CKD, let’s take a look at SKD.

The full English name is: Semi Knocked Down or Special Knocked Down

The Chinese explanation is: imported semi-disassembled assemblies/components.

In the early Santana cars, the domestically produced parts were only tires, radios, etc., while most assemblies and parts were imported in SKD form.

There are actually other KD parts, such as DKD (Direct Knocked Down) direct assembly or finished assembly, but they are rarely used in practice.

c

DB Parts

The full German name for DB is Direktbezug, which means direct procurement.

Directly from the original suppliers of the headquarters, rather than procured through the headquarters CKD department channels, used for normal mass production of imported parts, including special parts and parts that are converted from imported to direct procurement.

The price of direct procurement parts is generally lower than the entry price of CKD imported parts, and direct procurement parts replace CKD parts; new product development and other technical reasons leading to the inability to localize can also lead to the replacement of CKD parts with direct procurement parts.

However, the economic aspect of logistics costs must be taken into account.

To clarify, some suppliers internally designate some parts as DB parts, meaning that certain parts are directly specified for procurement by the OEM (the specification is also determined by the OEM, just managed on behalf).

It’s just a definition, no problem.

d

BMG Parts

The full German name for BMG is:

Baumustergenehmigungspflichtige Teile

Refers to parts that require engineering sample approval, generally referring to important parts that involve safety, platforms, etc., which need to be approved by the German headquarters for engineering samples. It is reported that some characteristics of certain BMG parts have also been relaxed to allow domestic OEMs to approve.

e

COP Parts

Its full English name is: Carry-Over Parts, carry-over parts.

Refers to parts from the previous generation or other models of the same brand that are used directly in new models without technical changes.

f

KT

The full German name is: Kaufteile

The full Chinese name is: purchased parts

Refers to parts that need to be purchased from external suppliers, as opposed to self-made parts (parts produced by the company itself).

Brothers, do you know why the new system is called KTM now!

Parts Reporting/Quality Control Points

Many friends must have heard of ZP7 and ZP5 parts, what are they? Let’s first take a look at what ZP means.

ZP is an abbreviation of the German word Zählpunkt, which means quality control point. In order to supervise the quality of the entire production process in the workshop, quality control points are set up as the last link before delivery to the next process, supervised and evaluated by quality-related personnel from the OEM.

We all know that the four major processes of the complete vehicle are stampingweldingpaintingassembly. The setting of quality control points is also generally based on this logic.

Do You Recognize These Abbreviations After Collaborating with OEMs?

Four major processes of the complete vehicle

a

ZP4

Because the engine is quite critical, a control point is also set here, which is ZP4, engine quality control point. Generally, quality assurance personnel will conduct acceptance inspections on the engine assemblies sent to the engine assembly workshop according to the corresponding quality requirements, while verifying the inspection content of the workshop assembly process card. After completely meeting the quality requirements, they are released.

b

ZP5

Stamping and welding are combined, and a white body quality control point (ZP5) is set up. It is called a white body because it has not yet been painted.

The body workshop conducts assembly of the white body, and quality assurance personnel will conduct acceptance inspections according to the corresponding quality requirements (such as body matching gaps, body surface, welding, etc.).

c

ZP5a

After stamping and welding, it goes to painting, and the painting quality control point is ZP5a. As for why it’s called ZP5a and not ZP6, sorry, I don’t know either. After the painting workshop completes the painting of the body, quality assurance personnel will conduct acceptance inspections according to the corresponding quality requirements (paint surface quality, paint corrosion prevention function).

d

ZP6? No! It’s ZP7

ZP7 is the quality control point after the assembly of the assembly workshop.

Acceptance inspections are conducted according to the corresponding quality requirements (electrical functions, parts gap matching, overall surface quality, emission standards, overall dynamic performance).

Assembly reporting

e

Sorry, there’s also ZP8

Although the four major processes have ended, there is still a quality control point, which is ZP8. Quality assurance personnel will conduct final acceptance inspections on finished vehicles sent for inspection from the assembly workshop according to the corresponding quality requirements (electrical functions, parts gap matching, overall surface quality) and verify the inspection content of the workshop assembly process card, ultimately issuing the vehicle qualification certificate.

What is the difference from ZP7?

On one hand, there is a difference in personnel execution; ZP7 is on-site assembly personnel, while ZP8 is quality assurance personnel.

On the other hand, there is a difference in the objects being inspected; ZP7 inspects the assembly process, while ZP8 inspects the entire process, with many items related to the overall performance of the vehicle.

Different Model Revision Suffixes

OEMs now not only have more models, but each model also has different revisions.

a

FL

The full English name of FL is Facelift, which means a major change in styling. It can be understood as lifting a face (Facelift, lifting the face up a bit).

Generally speaking, a model product will undergo a Facelift only once during its entire lifecycle.

b

GP

Its full German name is Große Produktaufwertung, referring to major product improvements. The scope of changes for GP is similar to that of Facelift, but if differentiated, the scope of GP changes is slightly larger.

I heard a friend say that similar revisions in the future will be called PA, and GP is not used much anymore.

Like FL, a model product will undergo a GP only once during its entire lifecycle.

c

NF

The full German name is: Nachfolger. The full Chinese name is: successor model, also referring to a successor. I initially understood it as Newface, a new face, although the definition is different, it is still quite fitting.

The successor model generally refers to a new model that will replace the currently produced model.

4

Project/Development Stages

Abbreviations for some development processes of major OEMs:

a

PEP

The full German name is: Produkt Entstehungsprozess

The full Chinese name is: product formation process, product birth process, product development process

Generally includes the following important links:

PM product mission, PP project premise, PD product definition, PF project feasibility, KE scheme decision, DE design decision, DF design freeze, BF procurement approval, LF production start approval, VFF pre-production approval, PVS trial production approval, 0S zero batch, SOP start of production.

Domestic OEMs generally start from the PF node. The previous links are considered the preparation stage for PF.

Main nodes of PEP (image source from the internet)

b

PM

The full German name is: Produkt-Mission

The full Chinese name (suggested): product mission

PM is the first link defined in PEP. The decision for PM is mainly based on a simple explanation of the project in terms of market, technical, financial goals, and schedule forecasts, as well as the product’s market positioning description.

c

PP

Once the mission is clear, we need to think about what conditions are required to achieve this mission, which is project premise.

The full German name is: Projekt-Prämissen

Compared to PM, the decision for PP requires more detailed data on market, financial, styling, product, manufacturing, and suppliers.

For example, market: product characteristics and market positioning, price premises, sales forecasts, engine configuration requirements, and whether it is necessary to conduct product market research.

Another example is financial: calculating model profit KPE, model marginal contribution EB, unit cost/cost target; financial analysis of the previous generation model.

d

PD

Now that we plan to do this project, let’s define the target of the project. This is PD, product definition.

The full German name is: Produkt-Definition

The decision for PD requires providing descriptions and status reports of the product technical scheme, sales volume and price targets, model including engine ratio, target cost breakdown – detailed to unit cost, departmental expenses, styling positioning, 3D styling display, etc.

e

PF

After pondering so much, can these small goals be achieved? We need to analyze PF, project feasibility.

The full German name is: Projekt-Feasibility

The decision for PF needs to be based on user positioning, competitor analysis, sales volume, price, and financial target commitments, to complete the preliminary selection of styling schemes, and the technical department should also complete the preliminary product technical description at this stage, explaining the approximate range of changes to the product. Domestic OEMs generally start to intervene from this stage.

f

KE

Through feasibility analysis, if we can do it, then let’s do it. Determine the feasible scheme first, which is KE, scheme decision.

The full German name is: Konzept-Entscheid

KE mainly needs to include technical product descriptions, project status reports, market evaluations of styling schemes, specific parts’ target costs, departmental expense target commitments, results of styling two-option selections, product scheme acceptance, starting to inquire about parts within the model platform range, concept prototypes, etc.

g

DE

After the major scheme decision, let’s look at the specifics, the overall styling is very critical, first is DE, design decision.

The full German name is: Design-Entscheid.

Do You Recognize These Abbreviations After Collaborating with OEMs?

DE requires a project task book, product research, confirmation of project economic viability, styling two-option selections, and starting to plan and approve parts within the platform range and designating suppliers for those parts.

h

DF

After the design decision, the next step is of course DF, design freeze.

The full German name is: Design-Freeze.

This step means that the product design cannot be changed anymore, and the planning approval and supplier designation for parts related to the design must also be completed within the previous month, confirming the manufacturability of the product on the prototype, determining quality targets, and providing project financial status, etc.

i

BF

Next, it’s time to spend big money, which is BF, procurement approval.

The full German name is: Beschaffungsfreigabe .

BF is a milestone for a project. From this point in time, high capital investment begins to be initiated to procure the materials and equipment needed for production.

In this step, design data changes are completely frozen, and the B-F for parts related to the design are completed (including part geometric dimension data and raw materials and procurement approved parts list), and the manufacturing of molds for parts related to the design begins.

j

LF

Now that a lot of money has been spent, production still has to be done, and before the production starts, approval is still required, which is LF, production start approval.

The full German name is: Launchfreigabe.

LF is generally an important step that needs to be completed one year before the product goes into production SOP. It is an important node in the project approval process and is a recognition work conducted before the project officially starts trial production to check whether the conditions for trial production are met.

LF requires that preparations for trial production be made from market, product, and production aspects.

k

VFF

VFF is also called pre-production approval of the complete vehicle.

The full German name is: Vorserien-Freigabe-Fahrzeug.

VFF mainly requires acceptance trials of pre-production vehicles to determine the status of pre-production vehicles and to prepare for the next step of batch pre-production PVS. In the past, before the PVS vehicle, only trial prototypes made from non-batch parts provided by suppliers were used to meet the requirements of styling and testing functions (a pre-rehearsal before batch).

It is a rehearsal for PVS, aiming to optimize production equipment and processes by assembling vehicles with batch trial mold parts and verify the matching and dimensional stability of batch mold parts, as well as the readiness of suppliers, so that problems can be discovered and solved early, ensuring that parts can achieve a score of 3 during PVS, and the processing maturity at the start of batch production is improved.

The VFF vehicle is in an intermediate state between Prototyp and PVS.

l

PVS

PVS refers to batch trial production, producing trial batches.

The full German name is: Produktion-Versuchs-Serie.

At this stage, all individual parts and assemblies are in place and the complete vehicle is manufactured under batch conditions for the first time (this is also the main difference from VFF), to practically verify the suitability of all equipment and processes for batch production.

Do You Recognize These Abbreviations After Collaborating with OEMs?

It is an experimental production conducted before the zero batch 0S, which is a rehearsal for batch production to verify whether the planned batch production process meets technical, logistical, and quality requirements, to discover problems in advance, list problems, and solve discovered problems before the zero batch 0S, at the latest before batch production.

m

0S

0S is the legendary zero batch.

The full German name is: Null-Serie.

0S is the last rehearsal before batch production SOP in PEP. It is produced at the planned batch production speed and rhythm to discover potential problems that may arise under batch production conditions.

n

SOP

SOP refers to batch production, starting batch production.

The full English name is: Start of Production.

Do You Recognize These Abbreviations After Collaborating with OEMs?

Oh my, batch production has finally started

Conditions for batch production are listed as follows:

– Completion of approval for all parts’ tooling samples;

– Batch plan approval for the quantity required for market launch;

– Sufficient parts available for production launch and to meet the vehicle quantity required for the production start curve;

– Confirmation of the production start curve;

– Passing the group acceptance test KAF;

– Achieving the quality targets for batch production.

o

ME

ME refers to market launch. The full German name is: Markteinführung.

ME is the last link in PEP, referring to formally launching the mass-produced products to the market and selling them to end users through the experience merchant network.
