FAW Volkswagen has always adhered to the concept of "zero inventory" of parts, and only when there are production tasks in the production process do manufacturers purchase parts from suppliers. Even in the 4S dealership segment at the terminal, we adhere to this philosophy, which is to try not to let components stay overnight at the dealership.

Yongjia Volkswagen's after-sales manager Cai Zhiwei told reporters that Volkswagen requires dealers to reduce inventory and lower costs. Due to the close proximity of FAW Volkswagen's parts center, it is convenient to reduce inventory. The manufacturer delivers parts to the 4S store every morning at 6am and 3pm. The manufacturer's operation is also for the purpose of assessment. If the dealer's inventory is kept under pressure for too long, the manufacturer will try to reduce the inventory pressure on the 4S store as much as possible after being informed through assessment.

Zhong Saga, the director of Guangwu Fuheng Maintenance Plant, stated that Ford's inventory of parts is determined based on actual usage conditions, and different parts have different reserves. If a certain accessory of a certain car model is used too much in the first few months, then this accessory will have a relatively large stock, usually for 10-15 days of use. If a certain accessory is only used once or twice a month, then the accessory may only have one or two reserves per month. For accessories that can only be used once or twice a year, they are basically not stocked throughout the year
