The car giant started by marrying the daughter of the king

Chapter 4: One sentence shows his ability
At any car plant, a production line stoppage is a major anomaly.

Whether the supplier's parts fail to arrive on time, or poor quality of parts is discovered during the assembly process, or problems are discovered when the vehicle rolls off the assembly line, it may lead to a line stop.

Liao Chengwen has been working at the Capital Automobile Manufacturing Plant for so many years, so naturally he has encountered countless line stoppage problems.

So he wasn't particularly nervous.

"Xiao Chen, why did the production line stop?"

On the way to the shutdown workshop, Liao Chengwen must seize the opportunity to understand some of the processes.

Otherwise, it will be troublesome if we can't resume production after working on site for a long time.

"Regarding the abnormal noise and vibration of the engine, they have preliminarily confirmed that there is no problem with the installation of the engine, but the rest is unclear."

Chen Chenxing is a nobody in the technical department. After graduating from high school a few years ago, he got in through connections in order to avoid going to the countryside. He has worked very hard, but he has no talent in this area and still cannot fully understand even the blueprints.

Jiang Hui followed behind Liao Chengwen, so he naturally heard what was said.

Generally speaking, there are only a few reasons for abnormal engine noise and vibration.

Now it has been discontinued?
Capital Automobile Works' understanding of engine technology seems a bit superficial.

"Dong Ke, if you really can't find the reason, please ask the people from the Capital Internal Combustion Engine Factory to come here as soon as possible."

"There was a problem with the engine, it must be their fault."

Just as Liao Chengwen was rushing towards the production line, Liu Darui, head of the vehicle quality department, suggested asking the engine supplier to come and solve the problem.

This is naturally a way to solve the problem.

However, the vehicle manufacturer was unable to quickly analyze the problem and had to invite the supplier to the site before it could be resolved, which was somewhat embarrassing.

Not to mention there is a special story between the two sides.

Therefore, Dong Jianpeng, the head of the Quality Department, still wants to give it a try.

Finding the problem yourself and then notifying the supplier to correct it has a different meaning.

Otherwise, what is the meaning of their quality department?
"Based on past experience, engine vibration and abnormal noise are either caused by improper installation, or the piston or valve is severely worn, or damaged."

"But it stands to reason that for a brand new engine, there shouldn't be any problems with the pistons and valves."

The weather in the capital in July is already very hot.

Dong Jianpeng was feeling a little nervous now, with sweat all over his face.

"Dong Ke, how about you open it and check it?"

Liu Darui's words made Dong Jianpeng a little conflicted.

It's not like they haven't dismantled engines before.

But after all, he is not a professional engine technician, so he is not very confident that he can put it back together normally after disassembling it.

It would be embarrassing if there are more problems after reinstalling.

Just when Dong Jianpeng was struggling, Chen Chenxing brought Liao Chengwen to the scene.

"Boss, how is the situation?"

Liao Chengwen's words were like heavenly music to Dong Jianpeng.

When it comes to parts problem analysis, the Technical Department is more professional than the Quality Department.

"This morning, the vehicles that started rolling off the production line at around 9 o'clock were all confirmed by the vehicle quality department. Obvious abnormal noise and vibration problems were found. A total of 6 vehicles were involved."

"We haven't found the cause yet. If we can't find it within half an hour, we'll have to ask the Capital Internal Combustion Engine Factory to come over and analyze it."

Dong Jianpeng and Liao Chengwen are old acquaintances, one is the head of the quality department and the other is the head of the technology department. The relationship between the Capital Automobile Manufacturing Plant and the Capital Internal Combustion Engine Plant is a bit delicate, and everyone wants to have the right to speak.

Therefore, the relationship between the two is not at all the kind of relationship between Party A and Party B that everyone imagines.

There have been problems with engine noise and vibration in the past, and the cause was ultimately determined to be loose or damaged engine brackets.

This obviously has nothing to do with the Capital Internal Combustion Engine Factory.

But Dong Jianpeng and the others didn't know this at the time, and they hurriedly called the person over and scolded him, only to find out that they had scolded the wrong person.

After similar incidents happened two or three times, the attitude of the Capital Internal Combustion Engine Factory changed.

They are all state-owned enterprises, and even the administrative levels are the same.

They definitely don't want to be scolded by you for nothing.

In this case, the relationship between the two parties will definitely not be so wonderful.

Of course, the factory managers may not be very clear about this kind of thing, but it is mainly the people in the various departments below who care more about it.

"Six cars had the same fault at one time, which shows that it is a batch problem."

"Since the engine installation has been confirmed to be fine, then the problem must be with the engine itself."

Liao Chengwen was also very clear about the strength of the technical department in the engine field. There was simply no one who specialized in studying this thing.

The Capital Automobile Industry Street, the Capital Automobile Manufacturing Plant, the Capital Internal Combustion Engine Plant, the Capital Gear Plant, etc., everyone is responsible for their own part.

One builds complete vehicles, one works on engines, and the other studies gearboxes.

Other parts companies generally listen to Capital Automobile Manufacturing.

However, since the engine and gearbox manufacturers are all at the same administrative level, communication cannot be achieved by simply giving orders.

"Liao Ke, I think so too."

"So this time I think we can just call the people from the Capital Internal Combustion Engine Factory over."

After listening to Liao Chengwen's words, Liu Darui once again emphasized his point of view.

Liao Chengwen did not answer directly, but went to the driver's seat to experience it himself, and then stared at the engine compartment for more than ten minutes.

However, although his various actions seemed very professional, he actually did not dare to draw any conclusions.

Because he actually doesn't know much about engines.

Unlike later generations, many people in those days had some understanding of the structure of the engine.

"Lao Liao, the production line has been shut down for a long time. Why don't we call someone from the Internal Combustion Engine Factory over?"

Dong Jianpeng also chose to give up at this time.

Obviously, he had seen that Liao Chengwen seemed unable to handle this problem either.

Jiang Hui, who had been silent, saw that his brother seemed ready to accept the reality that he couldn't handle it, so he couldn't help but say, "Liao Ke, this abnormal noise and vibration sounds like the engine is short of oil. I guess there is something wrong with the oil pump."

There is definitely no problem in calling him senior brother in private, but in such formal occasions, it is definitely more appropriate to call him "Liao Ke".

Although Jiang Hui just graduated from university this month, and attended the Workers, Peasants and Soldiers University which was looked down upon by others, he had a soul with more than 40 years of life experience in him, so he naturally knew very well how to deal with various situations.

"Is the noise caused by the oil pump?"

Liao Chengwen frowned, "Why are you so sure that there is something wrong with the oil pump?"
