Jinjiang Shoe Industry Actively Takes Measures To Cope With "Labor Shortage"

December 8th Jinjiang Shunyi Shoe material In the limited company, while the production was relatively relaxed, Lin Shiping, the general manager, was busy redecorating the production workshop: on the one hand, to make the staff have a more comfortable production environment, and on the other hand, to prepare for the arrival of the new machine.

Zhang Jiameng, the general manager of the same company located in Chai Tai and Fujian hi climbing sporting goods Co., has been paying attention to Jiangxi's situation. Not long ago, he just sent more than 50 sewing machines from the company to Jiangxi, trying to sew the process in the production process to Jiangxi.

Faced with increasingly difficult recruitment problems, Jinjiang shoes industry chain The practitioner tried their best. Or upgrading the machine, increasing the productivity of the staff, or putting the relatively simple process outside the labor concentration area. The practice of overflowing and climbing is just a microcosm of the Jinjiang sports shoes industry chain.

　　 Method 1:

Equipment renewal to reduce labor volume

"Workers are hard to recruit, everyone is the same, and everyone knows that the difficulty of recruiting workers will only get bigger and bigger in the future." Lin Shiping is a blunt statement about recruitment difficulties. In the first half of this year, the number of orders received by Shun Yu was too large for Lin Shiping to imagine. Recruitment Lin had no choice but to part of the order. "Earning less money is still a part of it. I fear that many customers will lose it. This is my biggest concern. Now is the time when there is no order, and it's annoying when ordering. " Lin Shiping smiled bitterly.

For this difficult problem, Lin Shiping admitted that, like other enterprises in Jinjiang, there is no special way for them to do so, but on the one hand, they constantly improve their production and living conditions. On the other hand, they introduce more advanced production equipment, although the cost of introducing new production equipment is very high.

In fact, in the view of Ding Yufeng, general manager of the group, the introduction of more advanced production equipment will become the consensus of practitioners in Jinjiang footwear industry in the next few years. Ding Yufeng told reporters that in the 12th Five-Year shoe-making industry planning, the words "intelligent and digitalized" were written more clearly.

Taking the shoe machine industry as an example, the machine we provide is to make shoemaking factories able to save labor, improve production efficiency and reduce energy consumption, which is the future development direction of shoemaking machines. Ding Yufeng, who speaks fast and happy, said that the newly developed sports shoes assembly line in the shoemaker industry can save energy by 30%~40%, and the workers can save at least 20% of their consumption. Take an ordinary sports shoes production line as an example, from shoe upper to finished shoes, it will take about 80 workers, and now only 60 or so.

But Ding Yufeng also admitted that the majority of enterprises in Jinjiang shoes industry have no way to fully accept more intelligent products. "Cost is the most important determinant. For example, before we developed a high-speed automatic shoe machine, it can save more than 70% manpower, but the price of this shoe machine is also very high, which is 10 times that of the ordinary shoe machine. At present, this product has not yet opened the market in Jinjiang, but the future will definitely become the mainstream of the market.

　　 Method two:

The process is placed outside the labour export area.

Xu Lian Tan, general manager of Fujian Jinjiang Strait Footwear Co., Ltd. just received guests from Zhangzhou Nanjing merchants Bureau recently. The purpose of these visitors to visit Zhangzhou is clear: trying to persuade the processing base to be placed in Nanjing.

"We have had such a consideration that we want to help the side to process such a relatively simple process that requires a large number of workers to put in relatively rich labor resources." Xu Lian Tan told reporters that although he has not yet determined where to put the flour processing base, it has been identified. {page_break}

Xu Lian Tan is also considering the location of the processing base, while climbing the Jiangxi side processing plant has already been put into production. "Exactly, the processing plant in Jiangxi is not ours. We provide two main parts: first, the machine, transferring the machines we empty out to them at a very low price, which is really half sold and half delivered; two is orders, and we promise to give them plenty of orders." Zhang Jiameng told reporters.

In Zhang Jiameng's view, there are various problems, such as information communication, logistics cost and so on, which can alleviate the pressure of employment. Although the end of August, but Zhang Jiameng told reporters that according to their production capacity, the number of orders received by the company has been discharged next year. "This means that if there are new orders coming from other customers, we need to consider whether we can accept them."

Zhang's view has also been recognized by many people in the industry. "The current trend is to put such simple processes similar to surface processing outside the areas with relatively abundant labor resources. This is not only a phenomenon in the footwear industry, but also in other industries. In the future, this phenomenon is bound to be more common, and there will be more transfer processes. Eventually, there will be other processes besides core processes in Jinjiang. " An insider who did not want to be named told reporters.
