Bosch Values

The first thing I learned when I entered Bosch was the House of Orientation. It is the manifesto of what we live for, why we do what we do, and how we should do it. I have heard it millions of times, but have not felt it so strong as today.
At lunch, I talked to a colleague in our department about the current quality problem of the part we are manufacturing. The problem has many possible solutions, and despite the vast possibilities, we still haven’t found one that completely solves the problem. I couldn’t help asking, “What does our competitor do?” “They use a different chemical,” the colleague ist a chemist in charge of the issue. “So this chemical our competitor uses doesn’t lead to the problem we have?” “No, rarely. And it is of half the price as the one we are using.” Ahha, why don’t we use that??? “Because the chemical is carcinogenic and is against Bosch Values.” No Values came as sound and loud as a fact. I had a smile in my face when I told my colleague that I made the right choice, for who I work for.

yeah,
another example here is China:
currently we are transfering many product into RoHS compliant,and this requires all the raw material in the product BOM is Pb free ,and now we would double check one by one all the component by MPN&RoHS mark in the vendor label,it cost also some extra time but it will all be paid off .

Hi Fenda,
it is very nice to see your comment.
I am happy to hear that Bosch is upholding its Values in China, where profits at other places sometimes come first before many other things. I think the public awareness of environments in China is slowly increasing, and for large international companies, it is especially important to bring in the western standards, such as RoHS, to help increase this awareness and to improve the environment in China. When this is done, it is an immense value added to the culture and to the people.
Best,
Lei
