The spare parts sector is a branch of industry which is mainly dependent on the main industry sector. Most of the enterprises operating in this sector are small and medium sized firms (SMEs). The main branches of the industries which the spare parts sectors are dependent on are vehicles, durable consumer goods, electrical, electronic, electro-mechanical, machinery manufacturing and defense industries. Among these sectors, the automotive sector is the only sector that has institutionalized and healthy information for the parts sector.
More than one thousand companies operate in the automotive supply industry, but there are around three hundred enterprises with acceptable production standards, which produce original spare parts directly to the vehicle manufacturing sector and are capable of competing in international markets. The remaining enterprises are small-scale production facilities and mainly produce for the renovation market.
The automotive spare parts sector operating in our country is capable of meeting all of the spare parts required for the vehicles manufactured in our country in terms of production capacity, product variety and the standards it has reached. The main products can be listed as: complete engine and engine parts, brake systems and components, hydraulic and pneumatic components, drivetrain, suspension parts, safety parts, chassis components and parts, rubber and rubber parts, forging and casting parts, battery, auto glass , seats, electrical equipment and lighting systems.
ISO 9001 Standard in the Spare Parts Industry
The spare parts sector is one of the sectors where technology is developing very fast. Businesses need to make continuous investments in order to follow the rapid change process in world markets and maintain their competitive advantage. Ideally, the spare parts sector should invest 10 percent of its total turnover. However, due to global competition, macroeconomic conditions, small production size and high costs, this ratio cannot exceed 5 in our country. However, our country is the only country that has established an advanced spare parts industry in terms of its geography. Therefore, it is of strategic importance.
In order to compete and become more powerful in national and international markets, companies need to produce quality, reliable and systematic production. For this, it is very important to comply with the principles of total quality management and ISO 9001 Quality Management System standards.
our organization TÜRCERT Technical Control and Certification Inc.also gives Spare Parts Quality Certificate to the demanding enterprises. If you need more information about this document and ISO 9001 standards, our company's managers and employees are always ready to support.
