In the first half of this year, the situation of ship orders was better, but the overall profitability was still not satisfactory. In order to control costs, some shipping companies continue to take measures to drastically reduce procurement costs. Some ship companies even require the procurement department to reduce the original purchase price by 5% to 10%. The result of this price pressure being passed on to equipment suppliers is imaginable. In order to take orders and survive, some ship equipment manufacturers have “played tricks†on production processes and raw materials, such as streamlining process and shoddy raw materials. This will undoubtedly lead to a decline in the quality and performance of the associated equipment. According to the relevant personnel of the shipbuilding industry, the current low-quality problems are mainly concentrated on the ship fittings such as steel castings, valve parts, pipe fittings, doors and windows, and some have reached a relatively serious degree. The problem of low-quality equipment is frequent, which not only causes lost time, but also has a certain negative impact on the operation and production of the shipyard.
Low-quality equipment not only disrupts the market order, but also leads to vicious competition between ships and enterprises, and is not conducive to the establishment of corporate brand image. Especially in the current downturn in the ship market and the general difficulty of ship delivery in shipbuilding, if ship-owners are repeatedly provoked by shipowners due to the quality of ship-equipped equipment or become an excuse for abandoning the ship, this will not only damage the efficiency and reputation of the company. And it will lead to the loss of corporate customers. The author believes that the cost reduction of shipbuilding enterprises should not only reduce the procurement cost, but should focus on how to achieve the best overall cost and cost performance of the product throughout its life cycle. Therefore, ship companies must have a long-term vision. On the one hand, we must strictly control the quality of procurement of spare parts and equipment. When purchasing materials, the material procurement department should fully consider the comprehensive cost performance of the products, not just the lowest price. Who won the bid. On the other hand, ship-to-ship companies can establish a “blacklist†of procurement suppliers, list those suppliers with low quality, shoddy and poor after-sales service, and focus their purchases on reputable partners and brand products to product quality. Stable and reliable suppliers are inclined to establish long-term fixed partnerships with them, encourage equipment suppliers to innovate and develop, increase product added value and improve after-sales service. In this way, it can help enterprises to achieve quality and delivery on time in the current fierce competition, in order to maintain good corporate reputation and achieve better development.
