Quanzhou Footwear Industry In Fujian Speeds Up The Pace Of Innovation And Innovation

Shoemaking industry is a typical labor-intensive industry, which is always pferred to countries and regions where labor costs are low.

As the traditional pillar industry in Quanzhou, the shoemaking industry with more than 4000 large and small shoemaking enterprises and an annual output of more than 1 billion pairs has also reached the threshold of industrial pformation and upgrading.

Market segmentation to avoid homogenization, lean production to management benefit, technological innovation and brand building to enhance product value-added.

Transformation and upgrading, rather than simply shifting, the pace of innovation and innovation in the footwear industry in Quanzhou has proved this strongly.

A pair of shoes has created a big market. Quanzhou must accelerate the pformation of development mode and speed up the construction of a strong economic city.

Lean production, bid farewell to low efficiency

In the lean production demonstration line of the two branch factory of Guo Hui, green is the main theme here. The aisle has a pot of greening plants every few meters. The production line is also covered with green ornaments. It is full of vitality. But the garden work environment is not the fundamental difference between the lean production and the traditional production line.

The production of most shoe making factories is generally divided into three stages: cutting, sewing, and forming. The parts processed in each process are concentrated together, and pported to the intermediate storehouse by the special person. After counting the quantity and matching them, they are further divided into the next process. The raw material to the finished product line will take at least a week.

Lean production connects three main processes to form a smooth production line.

According to the introduction, after the pformation of the two branch plant's production platform, the production efficiency has increased by 30% at least, and some efficient teams and groups can even increase 50% - 60%.

After years of intensive cultivation, the shoe making industry in Quanzhou has brand advantages and manpower advantages, but it does not have the management advantage. Low production efficiency is a common problem in many small and medium-sized shoe making enterprises.

Production is the foundation for the development of shoe enterprises. As a result of inefficient management, a lot of Quanzhou shoe enterprises are wasting seriously, and the waste of manufacturing costs has become a stumbling block for many enterprises to increase profits.

Investigation shows that the cost of waste in Jinjiang shoe enterprises is up to 60%, which is due to material waste.

Control cost, efficiency is king.

Finding the core idea and management method of production cost control has become the breakthrough way for Quanzhou shoe enterprises. Many shoe making enterprises such as Guo Hui, Jordan, and Starling have tasted sweetness from lean production.

With the lean production in the footwear industry in Quanzhou in the ascendant, Taiwan executives who are meticulous in detail management have gradually become popular, and become the main talents of Quanzhou shoe enterprises.
