Bottleneck Of Management Mode Of Domestic Garment Industry

As one of China's competitive industries in the world, the apparel industry has benefited from its extremely low labor cost advantage.

With the continuous rise of China's prices in recent years, when the labor cost advantage has been gradually lost, we should consider how to innovate in the management mode and information application. However, because of the bottlenecks in knowledge, talents and technology of domestic garment enterprises, the discussion and promotion of informatization in garment industry has not been thorough enough.

The advanced information management system provides an overall enterprise operation module, which contains advanced business philosophy, scientific management process and agile IT technology. It will guide enterprises into standardized management and operation mode.

Therefore, in order to effectively implement information technology, garment enterprises should first start with the management structure of the target enterprises, understand how the management level is set up, what functional departments, how many branches or franchisees, and then understand the logistics structure of enterprises, such as checking the rationality of each link and the information flow needed.

Only by starting from these fundamental management structures and changing their irrationality can the informatization be carried out smoothly and effectively.

These bosses always simply think that information is just a behavior of buying software, but not from the business consciousness and enterprise strategy.

Therefore, when choosing the information system, clothing enterprises often focus on whether the price is cheap or whether the function is comprehensive, without thinking about the most critical issues, such as how to integrate with their own business and conform to the future development strategy of the enterprise.

In other words, it is not only a IT issue, but also a strategic decision.

Therefore, for the garment enterprises that are going to carry out the informatization construction, we must first do a good job of strategic planning of their own enterprises. Only when they are clear about their own development strategy, can we know what kind of information solutions meet their own development needs.

If the enterprise is informationalized and informationalized, it is a terrible shortsightedness. It is not surprising that the information project ultimately fails or has no actual effect.

Such talents need not only to be proficient in information technology, but also to master business processes and management knowledge.

Many of the IT departments of garment enterprises are either just proficient in information technology or lack of information technology for understanding the business process, which often leads to the inconsistency between business needs and information systems. Once the enterprise starts the information system on-line, IT departments will often receive various kinds of system requirements. IT departments are also struggling to solve problems, and business personnel lack confidence in the system, which ultimately leads to the system is dispensable.

For example, many garment enterprises often do not pay attention to the training and storage of talents in the IT department until they have carried out the information project. At that time, the role of IT staff is equivalent to the network administrator.

After carrying out the informatization project, the IT department is only regarded as a role of the technical logistics department, and has not fully participated in the business process design of the enterprise. The business process design and the information system are out of touch, and the information project naturally realizes the value.

The reason lies in the fact that the styles and processes of garment factories are very complicated and changeable, and the two-dimensional information such as color, size and so on, makes management more difficult.

If the information technology can not collect real-time production data, the information management of the workshop will be impossible.

Combined with the traditional "flying boy" method of management software, it is only mechanically copying data manually into computer data entry, in fact, there is no substantial progress.

For example, the traditional "flying boy" piecework wage has many shortcomings, the production schedule can not be quickly and accurately reported, the calculation of manual wages also takes time. What is more serious, some workers will deliberately save the "flying boy" to get more wages, and wait for overtime hours to take it out, which makes the factory pay more overtime wages, and production can not report in time.

In addition, workers often finish tasks in order to catch up with the progress. They often neglect the processing quality. The traditional "flying boy" can not know exactly which worker is handling the process, which causes great trouble.

Some foreign manufacturers have applied RFID technology to high priced clothing labels, using RFID to support end to end solutions to all elements of the apparel supply chain.

These include source tag, automatic receipt, RFID based classification system, replenishment and inventory management, and sales point analysis.
