- 发动机概况
OEM制造商对汽车发动机采用厂内生产与厂外采购混合形式，这与装配线上其他组件的生产是不同的。发动机，不管是柴油机和汽油机，其供应链与汽车装配厂所用组件的供应链非常不同。从本质上讲，这是因为发动机不是在汽车厂制造的，但是要供应给公司内外不同地点的不同车型。汽车制造商所用大部分发动机都是自己生产的，虽然有些跨公司供应也存在；举例来说，Renault公司为Mercedes公司供应1.5升发动机（这是因为Renault-Nissan-Daimler联盟），而Ford公司为Jaguar Land Rover制造V8发动机。BMW公司还未英国丰田供应1.6升及2.0升柴油机。 Hams Hall, BMW’s UK factory, is the principal engine supply site for the Mini range and the BMW 1-series and 2-series models汽车公司还锻造大部分发动机缸体和发动机罩，尽管外面有一些供应商 — 比如Nemak公司，在全球都有生产足迹。大部分也都是汽车公司和独立供应商会在厂内制造像曲轴、连杆和凸轮轴这样的零部件。与此相反，涡轮增压器、过滤器、活塞、气门机构零部件、电子及控件一般都是从外部采购。下面我们主要看汽车公司厂内供应发动机和主要铸件的安排，以及外部供应商的作用。以下讨论的汽车公司例子在业内非常典型，这种情况在其他大型汽车公司内比比皆是。BMW宝马是德国高端商标，公司所有发动机都是内部生产，产欧洲有4个产地 — 奥地利、英国各一个，德国有两个 — 中国还有一个。德国的一个工厂在慕尼黑附近的Landshut，制造大部分铝材发动机缸体和缸盖，用于Steyr（奥地利）、Munich（德国）和Hams Hall（英国伯明翰附近）工厂的发动机加工。Landshut工厂还制造曲轴箱和变速器，而Steyr工厂制造曲轴箱、曲轴、连杆，而且还加工气缸盖，每年装配大约120万部发动机，其中的三分之二是柴油发动机，其余的汽油发动机。Munich工厂是BMW公司主要的汽油发动机工厂，而且还生产大型6缸柴油发动机。英国工厂是Mini系列和BMW 1系列和2系列车型的主要发动机供应地。工厂生产的一些发动机会出口到中国宝马公司，以及亚洲很多宝马全散件装配工厂。中国的发动机厂从欧洲宝马公司进口气缸体和气缸盖，但是中国制造的发动机采用了当地生产的曲轴箱、曲轴和连杆。Daimler-Mercedes 习惯上，梅赛德斯的发动机一直都是在德国Berlin（制造大型柴油机和汽油机）、Kolleda（在MFA平台上制造Smart系列和A级和B及车型及变体车型发动机）和Untertürkheim工厂制造，这些工厂分布在Bad Canstatt附近，每年共生产650,000-700,000部发动机。Untertürkheim工厂是梅赛德斯主要铸造厂，制造所需大部分气缸体和气缸盖。为了满足不断增长的需求，梅赛德斯目前在德国以外的欧洲工厂生产发动机，比如波兰Jawor。该厂加工并装配发动机，使用逐渐来自梅赛德斯自己的工厂和外部供应商。和宝马一样，梅赛德斯在中国生产发动机，用以满足当地不断增长的需求，提高本体成分，并降低进口税。 Ford supplies its regional operations from engine production sites in North America and EuropeFord福特全球发动机生产网络区域地区化，主要的发动机生产厂在北美和欧洲，为地区工厂供应。在欧洲，福特公司在德国（Cologne）、罗马尼亚（Cariova）、西班牙（Valencia）、土耳其（Kocaeli）和英国（Bridgend）生产汽油机；公司专注英国（Dagenham）柴油发动机的生产。福特公司在气缸体和气缸盖采用刬内生产和外购混合模式，这些零部件就是在以上工厂加工装配的。英国工厂只是加工装配厂，也就是说没有自己的铸造厂。公司北美发动机厂在Ohio（有两个工厂）、Michigan（两个工厂）、Canada（两个工厂）和墨西哥的Chihuahua。除了北美和欧洲，福特公司在中国有两家发动机厂，在印度有两家，巴西有两家，南非有一家。所有这些工厂主要都用于供应地方汽车厂，只有一些组件出口。南美工厂每年生产110,000部发动机整机，以及220,000部发动机装备，用于出口，主要是印度。福特南非工厂是一个历史性的壮举，它成为第一个具有洲际意义的发动机组件生产地。在20世纪60年底啊，工厂为英国发动机进行边缘生产，从英国向南非运送铸件和锻件，进行加工制造，然后再运回英国，安装到发动机上。 PSA’s ...
