Jinli Hardware Auto Parts Plant Cost Control, BYD Forklift Long-term Leasing Program Description

Jinli Hardware Auto Parts Factory, as a physical manufacturing enterprise focusing on the production, storage and transshipment of hardware auto parts, relies heavily on stable forklift capacity for daily raw material handling, finished product entry and exit, workshop turnover, and other operations in the factory area. In the past, many manufacturing enterprises purchased forklifts by themselves, often facing the pain points of high one-time investment in early procurement, high investment in follow-up maintenance manpower and material resources, cumbersome annual vehicle inspection and annual review process, and high cost of iterative upgrade of old models, which also brings a lot of pressure to the overall cost control of enterprises.

In response to the actual operating scenarios and cost control needs of Jinli Hardware Auto Parts Factory, BYD Forklift launched a customized long-term lease plan, which fully fits the operating characteristics of the auto parts factory. From the cost side, the long-term lease model does not require the enterprise to pay a large one-time purchase fee. It only needs to pay the corresponding lease fee according to the agreed cycle to obtain the complete right to use the corresponding forklift. The enterprise can invest the working capital originally reserved for purchasing forklifts into core production, order expansion and other more profitable business links, and optimize the cash flow structure of the enterprise from the root.

During the lease period, all supporting services related to routine maintenance, regular maintenance, on-site maintenance for faults, and annual vehicle inspection of forklifts are fully responsible by the leasing service provider, and there is no need for the enterprise to arrange exclusive operation and maintenance personnel to follow up on relevant matters. This saves the labor cost of recruiting operation and maintenance personnel for enterprises, and also avoids the additional hidden costs of purchasing parts and docking maintenance by themselves. After the forklift fails, the service provider can quickly handle the forklift on-site to minimize the impact of forklift failures on the daily transshipment operations in the factory area and ensure the stable rhythm of production flow.

In response to different operating scenarios such as shelf access in the storage area of Jinli Hardware Auto Parts Factory, short-distance transfer in the workshop, and large-batch finished products in and out of the factory, the long-term leasing plan also supports adjusting the vehicle configuration and capacity scale on demand. For example, during the peak production season when the order volume increases, enterprises can lease additional forklifts for a short period of time to make up for the transportation capacity. During the off-season, orders can be reduced according to actual operational needs, completely avoiding the waste of resources when vehicles are idle in the self-purchase mode, and further enhancing the flexibility of enterprise cost control. The entire long-term leasing plan is set up in full accordance with the principle of openness and transparency. All charges are made clear in advance, and there are no hidden charges. This helps Jinli Hardware and Auto Parts Factory to further optimize the overall operating cost structure under the premise of ensuring the stability of the logistics transfer efficiency of the factory area, and to achieve the coordinated and efficient operation of production and logistics links.
