Coming to Proton with 35 years of experience, Yoshiya Inamori is an important figure in reviving Proton!
When Proton announced the new management, there were several characters who were hired by Proton and Geely to revitalize their business, among them, Mr. Yoshiya Inamori Yoshinori was one of the people who was given high hopes to change protons, and today Proton specially arranged for us to visit Mr. Inamori, now let's see what his plans for the future of Proton are!
Speaking of Yoshiya Inamori Kasei You may not know who he is, in fact, his qualifications are very amazing, he has served in Mitsubishi Motors in Japan for 35 years, and in the United States, the Netherlands, Japan and Russia's Mitsubishi Motors, so he has a considerable experience in automobile manufacturing, and this time he came to Proton to serve as vice president of The Pass, when asked why he chose to come to Proton, Mr. Inamori said that he believes that his experience can help Proton solve the current predicament. Another point is that in the early days of proton's establishment, Mr. Inamori was also sent to protons by MMC for three months, so this is not the first time Mr. Inamori has come to help protons
Mr. Inamori is mainly responsible for the factory and the production line, mr. Inamori has been in proton for three months, he said that in these three months of observation of the proton production line this piece is not too much of a problem, and the proton in the last year to face the problem of slow delivery is because the production line can not be loaded, the main reason is because proton in a year (2016) released too many new models, even Japanese car manufacturers in the release of new cars will have a six-month interval, After learning the lessons of this time, the original factory will pay more attention to this, in addition, the current Shah Alam production line will not produce new cars in the future, the future new cars will be concentrated in the Production Line of Tanjung Marin, the current Tanjung Marin plant has been prepared for the proton post-plan, and the future plan includes small modifications and new models.
For the quality of proton products, Mr. Inamori said that this is the current proton urgent need to be solved, because the general market for proton car quality evaluation is not very good, although the recent year of the new proton products in the quality has made a lot of progress, but there is still room for progress. At present, the product quality problem of proton mainly stems from the production line itself and the parts supply chain, at present, Mr. Inamori has been working to improve the quality of proton products, including the cars currently on sale, he said that proton will never wait for product small changes or major changes to improve these already known problems, because proton knows that every car has someone to buy every day, so problems must be solved.
As for the production of the factory, Mr. Inamori also said that the problem is not big, because the current production of protons is still relatively stable, so the problem of having orders but no delivery will not appear again, even if the protons encounter the need to increase the yield in the future, they will hire more people to solve this problem, in addition to protons will train more young employees, and will send these employees to training, which is also a reserve of future human resources
