the authority of the South African automotive components industry
From the Office
Roger Pitot
NAACAM is pleased to announce the appointment of Robert Houdet as Executive Director to succeedRoger Pitot, who is retiring at the end of August.
Robert has wide experience in producing and marketing automotive components in several African countriesas well as in India and Turkey. It is experience that will certainly contribute to ensuring that NAACAM’swork on behalf of the automotive industry continues as successfully as it has in the past.
Robert has a well-founded understanding of South Africa. Over the past three years he has been workingfor Peugeot-Citroën in South Africa, sourcing components for export to Europe. During that time he hasestablished close ties with NAACAM itself and with the country’s original equipment manufacturers(OEMs).
His previous association with South Africa was in the late-1990s when he was part of the team thatestablished Faurecia’s catalytic converter plant here. He also spent several years here with BarclaysBank.
I am confident that Robert will prove to be a worthy successor to Roger and look forward to a long continuation of our association.
To Roger goes the Association’s sincere thanks for his work on its behalf. We all extend to him our best wishes for a long and happy retirement.
Mpueleng PooeNAACAM President
NAACAM APPOINTS NEW EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR
NAACAM is the Association representing the interests of Automotive Suppliers in South Africa, with over 170 member companies. Suppliers produce OEComponents, those which go into the making of a vehicle - as well as spare parts. 45% of production is sold to local vehicle assemblers (OEMs), 30% isexported, mainly to overseas OEMs, and 25% goes to the local spare parts market. NAACAM members employ almost 50,000 people and turnover last
year was over R55 billion.
NAACAM Plans for the Rest of the YearAs you know by now, I will be retiring at the end of August, and it willbe a pleasure to hand over to Robert Houdet. Rest assured, thetransition will be seamless and NAACAM business will continue asbefore.
Here are some of the events and plans during the rest of this year.
I will be introducing Robert to the Gauteng and Port Elizabeth membersat the NAACAM Regional Meetings on August 20th and 23rd.Unfortunately I will be unable to attend the other meetings, but wewill meet many of the KZN members during the DAC’s Indaba onAugust 7th. To members in East London and the Western Cape, Iapologise for not being able to say farewell but I wish each of you allthe best success for the future.
In October, the Johannesburg International Motor Show will beheld at the Expo Centre, Nasrec and several of our members will beexhibiting. Please diarise Tuesday October 22nd. The OEMPurchasing Council will host a breakfast for Tier 1 suppliers, therewill be a finger lunch for members from 12:30 to 14:00 followed bythe NAACAM AGM, and there will be post-meeting cocktails andsnacks. During the day there will be a networking venue provided fornetworking and meetings any members may wish to have.
In November, Robert will attend the MIDEST subcontracting exhibitionin Paris, and since there will be a South African Pavilion there,members who are unable to visit may provide marketing or technicalbrochures, which will then be displayed on the stand.
The most exciting plan for this year is NAVACC. This is the NationalAutomotive Value Chain Committee which we have been working onwith support from our regional representatives, NAAMSA, the OEMPurchasing Council, the dti and NUMSA. Initially NAACAM and
NAAMSA spoke to the dti on the need fora national committee that coordinates andoversees supplier competit ivenessimprovement initiatives in the South Africanautomotive industry and sets the strategicdirection for specific, practically orientedcompetitiveness improvement projects.
We engaged an independent group toestablish a detailed Business Plan, and allthe necessary planning to establish a non-profit company. This has almost beencompleted and it is expected that theCompany will begin operation in November.
It is envisaged that NAVACC will be thevehicle through which dti and other national and foreign organisationswill channel supplier development efforts. A critical part of theresponsibility will be to conduct research and benchmarking to gatherdata so that there is a factual basis to direct appropriate interventions.
We are very positive about NAVACC and to help you see why, letme quote its objective: To increase supplier MVA (ManufacturingValue-Added) in support of producing 1.2m vehicles by 2020, increasingemployment, enabling local supply chain capabilities, and increasinglocal content.
On a personal note I would like to record my appreciation for all thesupport I have received over the past eight years to Helena and Bevin the NAACAM office, to Lynn our publisher and website keeper,and to all the NAACAM office bearers for the time and effort they putinto keeping NAACAM what it is - a leading and well-respected industryassociation.
Thank you All and Goodbye!

The AIDC Eastern Cape will be conducting Six Sigma Green Belt trainingfrom 19-23 August 2013 in Nelson Mandela Bay.
The training is accredited through the services SETA and follows theISO 13053-1 guidelines.
Interested suppliers can contact Mia on 041 393 2113 or [email protected] for course details and application forms
The training will include:• classroom training on theoretical principles,• expert tuition from Six Sigma Master Black Belts
• site visits and on-site advice for the application of Six Sigma at achosen practical project
• focussed workshops and group tutorial sessions to ensure thatprojects are done to a high standard.
Six Sigma is a systematic problem solving methodology to reduce processvariation and improve control of manufacturing and service processes.The ultimate goal of any Six Sigma project is to make breakthroughimprovements in the company's processes to achieve performanceexcellence. These rapid improvements are made to increase customersatisfaction, reduce risks of product failure and achieve drastic costsavings.
he manufacturing space isbecoming increasinglytechnical. Not only are the
designs more complex but theequipment and processesrequired to manufacture andmanage are more sophisticated.
This is the view of Precision Pressmanaging d i rector SimonLedgerwood. “Gone are the daysof giving someone a pair ofoveralls and letting him loose inthe plant,” he says. “We operatein the globally competitiveautomotive component sector andhave to compete with the best inthe world on price, quality and on-t ime del ivery, and ski l ledpersonnel are absolutely vital. Butthe sad fact is that educationaland vocational training institutionsaren’t producing graduates withthe required skills.”
It’s for this reason that Precision Press - who already has five candidatesenrolled in the national Accelerated Artisan Training Programme - hasestablished an academy to train high school graduates the skills requiredin a manufacturing environment. The Precision Press Learner ReadinessProgramme, which has enrolled two groups, comprises manufacturingconcepts, and core and processes-related modules.
This programme is designed to instil organisational and cultural norms,such as team-building and communication, as well as business principles,including continual and focused improvement.
The engineering skills module includes setter training and development;tool, jig and die model making; specialised tooling training; the use ofhand tools; measuring equipment; and engineering drawings. The
pr inc ip les of wor ld c lassmanufacturing (WCM) and the ‘5Sprogramme’ - a method to createa safer, cleaner and better-organised workplace - are alsocovered by Precision PressLearning and DevelopmentManager Raynier Deysel and histeam.
It wasn’t plain sailing, however.“School leavers are totallyunprepared for the needs of theworkplace,” says Deysel. “Thecandidate selection process tookfar longer than we expectedbecause, in many instances, eventhose with Grade 12 maths wereunable to complete the most basicof calculations in the entrancetest.”
The first intake will complete theirprogramme in July 2013 and the
second intake in September. All ofthem will go straight into the Precision Press plant.
Precision Press are also offering in-service training for interested schoolleavers and college learners in the field of manufacturing and engineering,including internships for graduates wishing to gain engineering experience.
“We believe that we’re providing a valuable service to the manufacturingsector in greater Cape Town, and not only in the automotive sector,”says Ledgerwood. “Much of the material we present is generic tomanufacturing and, if the group warrants, we can customise and bringin specialised industry-specific modules if required.”
It’s initiatives like this that will ensure South Africa once again becomesglobally competitive. “There’s no quick fix in this game,” says Ledgerwood.“It’s one trained person at a time.”
100th Supplier Award for Schaeffler South Africa
t the recent General Motors Supplier of the Year function held inPort Elizabeth on 25th June 2013, Schaeffler South Africa receivedthe award of category winner: Electrical Systems, HVAC &
Powertrain. In doing so, Schaeffler South Africa notched up their 100th
Supplier Award from its OEM customers, both local and international.
What makes this achievement even more special for Schaeffler SouthAfrica was that it was done in the year of their 50th celebrations. SchaefflerSouth Africa was established back in 1963 and received their first
Supplier Award from Volkswagen South Africa in 1986 and have beenconsistently awarded ever since for their supply to the automotiveindustry.
Mr Len Terblanche, Managing Director of Schaeffler South Africa said:“We are extremely proud of this achievement in our 50th year of existenceand it’s all due to the mindset of all our employees who are driven toexceed our customer’s expectations by being world class in everythingthat we do.”
Precision Press establishes manufacturing training academyA shortage of skilled workers was the catalyst for specialist automotive metal pressing manufacturer Precision Press to
start their own training academy.

TENNECO RIDE PERFORMANCE PARTNERS WITH AIDC ECTO SCOOP ISO 50001 CERTIFICATION
446 Barcodes + BMW Vehicles +Kyalami =
Guinness Book of World Recordsattempt
Shock absorber manufacturer, Tenneco Ride Performance, manufacturerof the well-known Monroe brand, aims to be the first automotive supplierin South Africa to achieve ISO 50001 international Energy ManagementCertification.
The world’s largest producer of ride control systems, which is based inthe automotive hub of Nelson Mandela Bay is being assisted by theAutomotive Industry Development Centre Eastern Cape (AIDC EC) toacquire the certification and maintain its level of global competitivenessthrough the development of a world-class Energy Management System.
The AIDC Eastern Cape is an implementing arm of the Eastern CapeDevelopment Corporation, which aims to materialize government’seconomic and industrial growth plans with specific reference to theautomotive sector.
As part of the new Energy Management System at Tenneco RidePerformance, the AIDC EC has assisted the company to make annualsavings valued at R1.2m and reduce its energy consumption by 1 661 620kWh.
AIDC EC Supplier Development Manager, Lance Schultz said additionalsavings had been identified and appropriate projects planned forimplementation throughout the rest of 2013/14.
Tenneco Ride Performance South Africa joined the AIDC CleanerProduction Programme offered by the AIDC Eastern Cape in 2011 withthe aim of reducing the company’s energy bill by 10%. Tenneco RidePerformance and the AIDC signed a second contract in 2012 in orderto implement larger energy efficient projects identified in 2011.
Energy audits were conducted to determine problem areas and identifypossible projects to improve the energy efficiency of the plant.
The audit results were used to drive energy projects and target ‘lowhanging fruit’ first. These opportunities included the redesign of a stressrelief oven, removal of unnecessary lights, installation of translucentroof sheets to allow natural light to illuminate warehouse areas andinstallation of heat pumps and solar geysers, a compressed air leakprogramme to track, monitor and repair leaks and the installation ofmotion sensors in office areas to switch off lights and air conditionerswhen not needed.
“Tenneco Ride Performance and the AIDC EC plan to continue thispartnership for a third year with a major focus on ISO 50001 certificationand the expansion of various energy saving initiatives. Further focuswill also be on the improvement in factory processes with the help ofautomation solutions by the new Mechatronics design programme,”Schultz said.
“With the increasing power prices there was no other option but to startan energy efficiency drive,” Schultz said. “We are very proud of theresults of the Programme which is demonstrative of what many individualorganizations can do to reduce costs and relieve the grid.”
The improvements made provided a positive spin-off for the companybeing acknowledged in industry as a green champion.

TrenStar assisted, as a neutral party, bybarcoding all vehicles registered (from the very old to the brand new) for the attempt. When thetime came, all vehicles were scanned onto the track at the three entry points. Within an hour allthe scanned vehicles were on the track, completed one lap at slow speed and then scannedback off the track.
While 446 BMWs were tracked by TrenStar onto and off the track the record will not be recognisedby Guinness as official. The reason for this is that the specific requirements as set out by Guinness
of the pack staying in formationwith no overtaking and alsomaintaining a consistent followingdistance was not met. Theorganisers could only sufficientlyand confidently claim that lessthan 60 cars followed the rules tothe letter throughout the entireparade.

G.U.D. Holdings furthered their investmentin the learners of Christel House South Africaby providing education bursaries to thirtylearners over the next three year period. On16 July 2013 G.U.D. Holdings representativesattended a handover ceremony at the schoolin Cape Town to personally present thedonation.
The substantial investment is a result of thelong term partnership between G.U.D.Holdings and Christel House South Africa.In 2011 G.U.D. offered bursaries to thirtylearners from Grade 10 - Grade 12, who willbe graduating from Christel House at the endof the year. The 100% matric pass rate overthe past few years is testament to thesuccesses being achieved at the school.
Red Shuttleworth, CEO, G.U.D. Holdingsaddressed the previous bursary recipientsduring a special assembly, “We are extremelyproud of your outstanding achievements, weencourage you to apply this success to allareas of your life.” He congratulated the thirtynew bursary recipients and encouraged themto work hard so they can overcome anyobstacles to success.
The Christel House foundation, anindependent school in Cape Town, continuesto give its pupils from some of the poorestcommunities an opportunity out of povertythrough an educational experience based oncore values such as discipline and hard work.
G.U.D. Holdings executives present thecheque of one million rand to the Facultyand learners of Christel House South Africa.

Newsletter: July, 2013
1. IntroductionNoise induced hearing loss (NIHL) is a problem of our time, not only inindustry but also in private life in general. The fact that more and moreemployees are starting work life with noise damage just puts moreemphasis on the employer to reduce the risks and manage NIHLresponsibly.
Although reducing the noise at the source is always the best option itis very often not practical and companies have no choice but to implementa hearing conservation program.
Hearing conservation in general is not measuring up to expectation ascan be seen from the ever increasing compensation paid on NIHL claims.
What is the reason for this?2. Incorrect legislationNoise induced hearing loss is determined by two factors, the level ofthe noise and the duration of the noise. In other words the higher thesound pressure level the less time one can spend in the noise environmentand vice versa. The shocking fact is that sound pressure levels doublewith every increase of 3 decibels. This means that if you are safe at85dB over an 8 hour period, you can only spend 4 hours in the noiseif it increase to 88dB or 2 hours if the noise level is at 91dB.
The question is however at what level is really safe. Is it 85dB over an8 hour period as the South African legislation requires? Why then hasthe USA set their legislation at 90dB or China at 70dB.
The answer can be found in the following:ISO 1999 - “the selection of maximum tolerable or maximum permissiblenoise exposure...requires consideration of ethical, social, economicaland political factors...”
So what the legislators are saying is that a 10% to 15% risk is acceptable.
What then is the safe level? The damage threshold is frequency specificand that the safe level is in fact 75dB at 4KHz.
3. Poor performance of hearing protectionIt is no secret that hearing protectors are not performing to expectationor as stated in numerous studies, the sound attenuation of hearingprotectors used in the field deviates significantly from laboratory valuesor attenuation rating claimed on the packaging.
In general the real world attenuation is much lower than the laboratoryvalues and as a result a de-rating system has been accepted by mostworld standards to compensate for lack of performance.The problem with this is that one never really knows if your workers areprotected. So what does one need to consider when making a choiceof what to supply to your workforce?
3.1 Quality dimensions of hearing protectorsWhen it comes to hearing protectors there is no doubt that the besthearing protector is the one that is worn. It is therefore important toask yourself the question why people are so reluctant to wear hearingprotectors.• Wearing Comfort• Communication• Attenuation level• User compliance• Cost effective
One of the most recent independent studies done on this topic wasdone by BGIA in Germany. They compared the performance of differenttypes of hearing protectors and the reasons for the poor performancein the field. This study can be referenced at

Noise Induced hearing loss, the truth
Automotive Component Manufacturer?Here are dti cash incentives that you can take advantage of...
f you are a first or second tier supplier of automotive componentsand you have invested in plant and machinery but have not claimedincentives, then you have, in all likelihood, lost out on some veryvaluable cash incentives available from the Department of Trade
and Industry (dti).
The Automotive Investment SchemeLaunched approximately 3 years ago and expected to be available until2020, the Automotive Investment Scheme (AIS) is an incentive designedto grow and develop the automotive sector through investment in newand replacement models as well as components that will increaseproduction volumes, sustain employment and strengthen the automotivevalue chain.
Benefits to component manufacturersThe AIS provides for a taxable cash grant of 20% of the value of qualifyinginvestment in productive assets as approved by the dti and is payableover a three year term.
There may also be an additional 5 - 10% available, over and above the20%, if you meet certain requirements including maintaining your baseyear employment figure throughout the incentive period and achieve atleast two of the following economic requirements: Tooling; Researchand Development in South Africa; Employment Creation; Strengtheningof the Automotive Value Chain; and Value Addition.
To qualify for the additional grant, the project must also demonstrate aspecified increase in turnover and manufacturing of components thatare currently not being manufactured in South Africa.
The AIS benefit can have a huge impact on your business’ cash flowand you will be allowed to submit multiple applications for multipleplatforms.
Do you qualify?If you are an automotive component manufacturer you could qualify forthe cash benefit if you comply with the following:• You receive an order letter from an OEM• You will be investing at least R1 million in plant and machinery• The investment will result in R10 million turnover in the first year• Start of commercial production is more than 90 days away
Projects in the Eastern CapeTo date, the dti have approved 62 projects that are based in the EasternCape. These projects have been worth R1.6 billion in cash incentivesand are the highest number of projects approved in any province underAIS.
In the short term, companies are gearing up for the new W205 Daimlerproject as well as the new Toyota Corolla and Hilux models which wouldgo into production in 2014/2015.
Other incentivesThere are other schemes available and we will analyse the requirementsof the various programmes to maximise your benefit. If you have anyfuture investments planned then please contact us for a free consultation.
