PMC stands for Product-Material-Control, which refers to production and material control. It is typically divided into two parts: PC: Production Control or Production Management (commonly referred to as production management in Taiwanese and Japanese companies). Its main functions include production planning and progress control. MC: Material Control (commonly referred to as material management), whose main functions include material planning, procurement, material scheduling, and material control (defective material control and normal material usage control). Below are the differences between joint-venture vehicles and imported vehicles: Different production locations: Joint-venture vehicles utilize foreign technology and brands, with the entire vehicle or some parts imported and produced or assembled domestically; imported vehicles are entirely produced abroad and enter the market through import. Different meanings: Joint-venture vehicles are either fully domestically produced or assembled with some imported parts, and the models may also undergo some detailed modifications; imported vehicles are entirely imported.
