Among Taiwanese makers boasting high competency on production capability comes to Future Precision Industry Co., Ltd., starting with turning out auto and motor parts in 1980 in Kaohsiung County, northern Taiwan.
Going through auspicious years when the domestic market for scooters prospered, Future Precision Industry Co., Ltd. would have rapidly accumulated ample expertise and resources during the period, and has therefore built a solid reputation in the market.
However, scenting an imminent decline in the domestic market for low-end motor parts, our company decides to parley its resources to upgrade production capability through introducing advanced manufacturing equipment and reinforcing quality control, according to our general manager.
To meet requirements of high-precision motor parts from Japanese and German clients, we procure computer numeric control (CNC) lathes, millers and grinding machines. Our company's camshafts and oil pumps, which are made through die casting and sophisticated metalworking processes, are well received by foreign buyers. Also, our company exports such high-precision parts at reasonable prices to Honda operating in the USA.
Our company once received orders for gear-shifting parts used for ATVs, which required consummate production capability to work gears in perfectly, when most domestic makers of this kind were incapable of turning out that at that time. We spend lots of time and money developing the parts, which have reinforced structure and perfect gear-shifting mechanism. Ultimately, the client is really satisfied with our work. This is manifest that our company's competency on production capability.
Also, our company is committed to quality. That is necessary. We employ the newest quality control devices, such as projectors, and hammer out a standard operation procedure for quality. We inspect quality of raw materials initially and then ask for each operator of a production line to conduct quality control on semi-finished goods. Meanwhile, we have a quality inspection team to walk around the plant and check randomly outputs of each line.
We are emphasizing that safety of motorcycle parts matters whenever they work, and it depends on how much makers work for. Hence, our company, despite additional costs of quality control, insists on doing that. For examples, our push rollers, priced at NT$220 per pair, less than half NT$480 of the Japan-made, have been tested and proven to stand 300kg pressure and 1,200kg drag force in a reciprocating movement at a speed of 6,000 times a minute.
By contrast, the counterparts made by Chinese makers, however, are exceedingly cheap, priced at only NT$20 per pair, but would break down easily due to bad quality.
In fact, our company has taken a move to try original design manufacturing (ODM), developing an entire set of motorcycle engine parts with the help of some domestic big-sized makers of scooters and autos. We keep improving production capability and capacity. Undoubtedly, our company will never slow down our step to be better.
