nope I'm not a proton vendor, but I know there are a lot chinese company that supplying parts for proton, I know bcoz I used to work in automotive factory that supply parts for proton,perodua,toyota.
well, i'm just saying about the vendor, not accusing anyone.
Proton is looking for good quality part with low price,
while vendor making low quality part with high price .
Problem would appear when vendor is try to make more profit by making part using cheap material, whereas faulty to be found when the supplied parts crippled during assembling, or detected during stock checking
the worst case is when the bad supplied parts is only crippled after fall into customer's hand, while found nothing during QC checking and assembling in proton manufacture.
And forsure proton will be blame by customer, not the vendor.
Even Proton take action by blacklisting the bad vendor, other vendor would probably make the same problem.
Right now I'm working in another field but my job scope is still the same ( finding parts for product ) , Yes i'm pretty sure on what i'm saying bcoz this is my dishes everyday
Blame game huh?
Proton is just too stupid. Thats it. Why dont you think of a reason why this doesnt happened to Toyota or Honda?
Heck, even the lowly Perodua now makes a better car than Proton.
This is a company waiting to be doom if it keep the same people inside the management. It has got to change and change right now.
I got a couple of clients who used to manufacture parts for Proton as well. They are literally out of business due to the fact that the parts that are being ordered now runs into hundreds of pieces instead of ten of thousands of pieces few years back. If you are wise enough, one would know very well, that when you mass manufacture, you would keep the cost down and this is not what Proton is doing. What they would have do normally with metal stamping has to be replaced with laser cut which not only increase the cost but also the quality is also affected. Thats not all, Proton even outsource car production to other smaller factories around Malaysia. I dont really see a point to do that when you cant even sell more than you can produce. Why did they do that again?
If the government is wise enough, they would have killed Proton years ago. I dont see how this company now makes money from selling RM30K+ Proton Saga compared to those days where it sells Wira close to Rm50k and Waja for over RM60k. The management of Proton is really the garbage of the automotive industry.
