The current situation of five major garment industry forces the supply chain to deepen the reform

For many years, China's garment industry has been fragmented, disordered, inefficient and chaotic. In addition, China's economy has entered a new normal, with economic growth slowing down and domestic demand continuously decreasing. In this "winter chaos", China's garment manufacturing industry is in danger.

However, complaining about nature has become pale, the talker said a little weak. At this moment, see clearly the situation to follow up reform is boundless avenue. We analyze and study the garment industry from five aspects of "background, labor, core, spirit and opportunity". The five current situations of the garment industry force the supply chain to deepen the reform and make painstaking efforts to make flesh and blood.

Background: Industry 4.0 and Made in China

Regardless of industry, Lang xianping said: as long as industry 4.0 spreads around the world, all manufacturing in China will collapse and disintegrate.

At present, intelligent industrial equipment has become the basis for the upgrading and transformation of global manufacturing industry, and developed countries take the upgrading of manufacturing industry as the top priority of Industry 4.0. In the pre-Industry 3.0 era, for example, it took 21 days to produce a Harley-Davidson locomotive at a factory in Germany, because its production process was all fixed and mechanized. However, in the era of Industry 4.0, a customer orders a customized motorcycle at 9 o 'clock in the morning, and these five modules all come to life. According to the customer's needs, they can find the raw materials by themselves and find the factory to repackage and recombine them, and the customized motorcycle can be delivered to the customer within six hours.

In addition to greatly reduced time, intelligence has another advantage: costs are basically reduced by 40%.

At present, China's manufacturing industry is in great difficulty, and its cost has been catching up with that of the United States. If the United States promotes industry 4.0, and the cost is reduced by another 40%, where is the opportunity for us to compete? The manufacturing cost of Germany and The UK is about 10%-20% higher than that of China. As long as we promote industry 4.0, the cost will be much lower than that of China. Where is our hope for competition?

As a manufacturing power, China's enterprises are facing severe economic transformation and are stepping into a manufacturing power from a manufacturing power. The country has put forward the national strategy of "Made in China 2025", which is similar to the industrial Internet of the United States and Industry 4.0 of Germany, and can effectively help enterprises achieve upgrading and transformation.

To see small, based on the present, the clothing industry does not reform, the death is not necessarily fast, but must be tragic.

Labor: The employment problem highlights, the productive forces should be liberated

The number of college graduates in China reached 7.65 million in 2016, 160,000 more than last year, a record high despite a slowdown in recent years. On the other hand, as China's economic growth slows down, enterprises and public institutions are employing fewer people, leading to increasing employment pressure for college students. In addition, under the impetus of Industry 4.0, the general repetitive production is increasingly oriented towards intelligent production, so the employment pressure of workers is also poor.

Looking at the garment industry, in the traditional garment supply chain, workers belong to the factory and their income is measured in pieces. In order to complete the next order successfully, there is usually a time reserved for debugging the machine and adjusting the process. Of course, during this free period, there will also be a lot of idle workers, which leads to the waste of labor. This waste is particularly deadly in the garment industry, which is facing an overall deepening of reform.

Therefore, it is a potential direction of personnel reform to release productivity and promote self-upgrading of workers.

Core: The cliche, inventory caused by operational risk

Few sectors of manufacturing have had a more widespread and profound impact on inventories than the clothing sector. This is closely related to the rapid changes in fashion trends and changing consumer demands.

Traditional supply chains, which must place orders three to six months in advance and order at least 1,000 items, have left retailers with large inventories and inflexible cash flows. What's more, due to the forecast of the market for more than half a year, it is difficult for clothing brands to grasp the current trend. After stockpiling clothes for half a year, they find they are out of date and have to be sold at a discount, which again reduces the profit.

Inventory problem is always the core problem plaguing the clothing industry, who can solve this problem, who is the leader of the clothing supply chain.

Spirit: Made in China, the blank of craftsmanship spirit

Japan has tens of thousands of shops with a history of 100 years or even 1,000 years. The secret of many Japanese enterprises that can last for 100 years or even 1,000 years is the "spirit of craftsman" that keeps focusing on their own business and does not be influenced by immediate profits. Italy is famous for its artisans and workshops. Many luxury brands are created by small artisans in Italy. Italian craftsmen, everyone pursue excellence. In addition to many well-known brands of cars, watches and home appliances, Germany, Austria, Switzerland and other German-speaking countries also have a large number of successful smes that focus on production and manufacturing, focus on innovation and research and development, and have a large number of highly skilled labor forces. These companies are global leaders in certain segments of the industry, but unknown to outsiders, they are called "hidden champions".

In Japan, Italy, Germany and other countries, the spirit of craftsman has been well inherited.

Looking at the domestic, Li Ning quietly decline, The collapse of The Barny Road, craftsmanship is not in, all the glitz is gone, the "made in China" soul, is still a Chinese dream of the people's efforts.

There is a gap on the market, there are feelings to become a business. Clothing industry made in China, should be made with heart.

Opportunity: bad trading environment, bad currency drive out good currency

The domestic garment market consists of more than 1 million isolated islands of information (nearly 100,000 fabric stalls scattered throughout the country and about 1 million small factories/workshops) that are closed to each other. The scale of this low-end clothing supply chain market is as high as about 1 trillion yuan, but such a large market is always a "bad money drives out good money" abnormal ecology -- as long as the price is low and you can cheat people, you can get orders, and the low quality and low price wins out.

Such a deformed market is truly terrible, and it is terrifying to contemplate. But is there another opportunity brewing?

Under the opportunity, the clothing flexible supply chain is the trend

In the long-term practice, in view of the above industrial status, pioneers of clothing supply chain continue to explore and open a new idea for the upgrading and reform of supply chain: to try their best to create a flexible clothing supply chain. Specific operation is: through the use of intelligent production more accurate grasp of market demand; Through socialized production and in-depth optimization of production capacity, it can solve the problem that garment workers' technical level is difficult to improve and workers' employment while flexible supply chain. Use the "Internet +" model to catch the trend and improve transaction efficiency.

In the aspect of industry 4.0 intelligent manufacturing, the pioneer of the domestic garment industry has long been eager to try, but in the case of uncertain prospects, the operation is somewhat timid. At this time, Sinbad supply chain took the lead in investing funds and cooperating with intelligent equipment manufacturers to carry out the research and development of intelligent equipment of the Internet of Things, from flat cutting machine to automatic cloth laying machine, computer cutting bed, fourth-generation sewing machine, automatic template machine, etc., so as to realize digital manufacturing and intelligent production and establish networked production facilities. Sinbad's capacity is defined by the number of units. Using intelligent production equipment, Sinbad automatically accepts orders via its Internet system, and idle workers nearby can decide how many orders to take and how much money to earn according to their own energy. In this way, the integration of a large number of idle capacity, improve efficiency. Each capacity center divides modules according to production links, standardizes each module, and gives priority to outstanding workers through systematic rating. Workers' income increases, and the more active their work is, the higher their score will be. The more orders, the more money. To motivate workers with sound rules of competition. Through this mode, workers' productivity can be completely liberated to improve their income level and ensure the stability of employment in the textile and garment industry.

Many factory entrepreneurs, on the other hand, have struggled to improve the quality and expertise of their workers. In the traditional clothing supply chain environment, the working environment of workers is dirty and messy, the machinery and equipment are backward, the working hours are not free, and the wages are not guaranteed. In many cases, workers have to go to several factories for a full day's work, so they cannot concentrate on improving their skills. Now, through the Internet platform, we can realize the free control of production capacity, region and time, and the choice of opportunities, promote the flow of talents, increase workers' income, and start to study professional skills intensively to improve their quality. Ordinary workers become skilled workers, and skilled workers gradually become craftsmen in the real sense of the Internet era.

In the Internet + era, the demand of C-terminal users has changed, prompting the emergence of personalized and customized production platforms. Flexible supply chain is based on the demand, has enough flexibility, rapid response capacity according to market demand, help the clothing brands in the past 1 year and 6 months in advance order to 10 days in advance, more style small batch 100 minimum, large quantities of single, three days no matter large single small single all can ensure quality control, timely delivery of the goods. For customers, the advantage is that they can make production plans closer to the market, instead of making forecasts so long in advance, so as to reduce inventory. This will bring the flexible and quick response of supply chain to the market into full play. Help brands seize trends to increase sales opportunities and eliminate inventory overhang risks.

New norm of Chinese economy, the domestic economy as a whole, in the deflation of the country's case, the garment industry entrepreneurs should be more firm beginner's mind, providing customers with low prices at ease worry "clothing flexible supply chain services", provide consumers with reliable quality clothing products, and for the interests of workers, builders seek development. In the future, more conscientious enterprises are needed to do practical work and make painstaking efforts and contributions to the industry and practitioners. For many years, China's garment industry has been fragmented, disordered, inefficient and chaotic. In addition, China's economy has entered a new normal, with economic growth slowing down and domestic demand continuously declining. In this "winter chaos", China's garment manufacturing industry is in danger.
