Due to the trend of automotive lightweighting and the focus on topics such as "plastic instead of steel," JZT, known for its precision plastic gears and other precision injection molding parts, has garnered attention in the market. Their main products, including automotive precision plastic gears and other precision injection molding parts, are well-regarded in China. One of their notable products is the high-strength automotive wiper system precision injection molded gear. It utilizes a new type of plastic with lower density and undergoes special structural treatment, resulting in gears that are not only lightweight and high-precision but also have a longer lifespan and higher strength. These high-precision gears are crucial components of the automotive transmission system, typically found in the wiper system under the car's bonnet. Through continuous research and development along with technological innovation, JZT has developed a range of high-quality, high-performance lightweight parts. This includes precision injection-molded gears and high-strength engineering plastics for accelerator parts, all of which meet the demands of well-known automobile brands such as Mercedes-Benz, BMW, Audi, Volkswagen, and GM. Additionally, their products are used in new energy vehicles like Tesla, BYD, RISO, Azure, and Xiaopeng, showcasing their versatility and relevance in the evolving automotive industry. #Lightweight #LightweightAsia2024 #automotivelightweight To learn more about the market trends, stay tuned to Lightweight Asia 2024 Date: 03-05 July 2024 Venue: Shanghai New International Expo Center  Learn more：https://lnkd.in/gid2RGSb

In 1972, the Kobe shipyards in Japan marked a pivotal moment in design history. Yoji Akao and Shigeru Mizuno pioneered the use of Quality Function Deployment (QFD) to design an oil tanker, focusing on embedding customer satisfaction into the service offering before production even began. Before QFD, quality control methods were reactive, primarily addressing issues during or after production. This proactive approach changed the game, ensuring that potential problems were identified and addressed early in the design process. By the mid-1980s, Don Clausing of MIT introduced QFD to the United States, where it found classic applications in industries like automotive design. Clausing recounts an instance where an engineer wanted to place the emergency hand brake of a sports car between the seat and the door. However, customer feedback revealed that women drivers wearing skirts found this placement inconvenient. Thanks to QFD, this potential dissatisfaction was identified, and the design was improved. The legacy of QFD continues to impact various industries, ensuring that customer needs and satisfaction remain at the forefront of design and production. #ExcellenceWithMohan

🇩🇪‼️🚨 The Mercedes Star is dying. The manufacturer of the Mercedes-Benz emblem has filed for bankruptcy due to the crisis in the European auto industry. The agency writes that the auto parts manufacturer from the Daimler supply chain, Gerhardi Kunststofftechnik GmbH, has also laid off 1,500 employees in Germany. Gerhardi was founded in 1796 and began with the production of metal products. Later, it became a supplier of grilles, handles and chrome trims for the Mercedes-Benz Group.
