2011 National Textile Industry "Bai Yuan Cup" Weft Knitting Vocational Skills Competition Started

Speaking of weft knitting, many people may not be familiar with it.

But I believe you must be familiar with knitted sweaters, T-shirts and sweaters that are light, soft and colorful.

They are the ones that are unknown.

What are the operational skills of weft knitted workers?

In fabric

There are more than 800 thousand workers in the weft knitting operation.

During the "11th Five-Year" period, China's knitting industry developed rapidly, especially with great progress in technology and equipment.

In 2010, the total industrial output value, sales value and total profit of the enterprises above Designated Size in the knitting industry were doubled than in 2005.

In 2010, exports of knitted garments and accessories increased by 116% over 2005.

Weft knitting industry occupies an important position in the knitting industry. In the knitting industry above designated size enterprises, weft knitting enterprises' gross industrial output value and sales value account for more than 70% of the knitting industry.

Not only that.

In recent years, the technology and equipment of weft knitting industry in China has been progresses obviously.

According to introduction, weft knitting industry's production equipment includes all kinds of circular knitting machines and flat knitting machines.

At present, the proportion of circular machines with a diameter of 30 inches and 34 inches is greatly increased in weft knitting equipment.

Large circular knitting machine is an important type of knitting weft knitting industry.

With the improvement of equipment technology, the number of large circular machines has been increasing, which has greatly promoted the product development and productivity improvement of weft knitting industry.

The development of knitting industry has brought great development space to knitting machinery.

At present, knitting machinery is developing towards high speed, high efficiency, high precision and high reliability.

According to the experts from the China Textile Industry Association, the famous international manufacturers of large circular machines mainly include Fuyuan, Japan's Meyers, Germany's De Le and Italy's lodley, etc. these enterprises have strong research and development capabilities and high precision in manufacturing machinery. The design and manufacture of their large circular machines almost represent the direction of international development.

Compared with the international advanced level, in recent years, domestic circular machine manufacturers have strengthened the research and development of new products according to the actual needs of users.

Moreover, with the continuous improvement of the capability of R & D of large circular machine manufacturers, the design, manufacture level and international advanced level of the circular knitting machine have been narrowed down. The electronic jacquard and electronic control models have reached the international advanced level in some fields.

At the same time, China's knitting industry has made extensive use of domestic large circular knitting machines, and some excellent domestic circular machines have made important contributions to upgrading the level of technology and equipment in the industry.

At present, the knitting industry in China has more than 180 thousand kinds of large circular knitting machines, and more than 800 thousand workers are engaged in weft knitting operations. Among them, there are more than 600 thousand workers in large circular knitting machines.

Serious shortage of technicians at key positions

As a traditional pillar industry and an important livelihood industry, the knitting industry is a typical labor-intensive industry with a large number of employees.

At the same time, the basic theory of weft knitting industry in the knitting industry is uneven, the proficiency of operators is quite different, the number of skilled operators is seriously insufficient, and the proportion of omnipotent operators is not high, which restricts the sustainable development of the knitting industry.

Xu Kunyuan, vice president of the China Textile Industry Association, said that "12th Five-Year" is a critical period for China to build a strong textile country. But at present, more than 70% of the 20 million front-line workers in the textile industry are all migrant workers. The annual turnover of workers is between 20% and 50%. The number of skilled workers in the key positions is over 50%, and the shortage of skilled workers has become an important constraint factor for the textile industry to grow stronger.

"Fiber processing accounts for half of the world's total.

In response to this problem, Xu Kunyuan said that in the process of adjusting the regional structure of the textile industry, the labor intensive part of the industrial chain should be pferred to the central and western regions to form a stable workforce. Enterprises should strengthen their training of workers and strive to cultivate stable technical backbone teams.

"At present, there are few professional training in the textile industry. The university education is divorced from the actual demand, and the distance education for workers is also very weak. The industry organizations should play an active role in strengthening the guidance for staff training."

Xu Kunyuan said.

Selecting excellent technical talents

In order to improve the theoretical level and operational skills of weft knitted workers, and promote the continuous improvement of the quality of the knitting industry, it is introduced that the weft knitting skills competition is oriented to all kinds of weft knitting enterprise operators in the knitting industry.

Sun Xiaoyin, director of the textile industry vocational skill appraisal guidance center (hereinafter referred to as the skill center), said that the competition consists of two parts, namely theoretical knowledge examination and practical operation assessment. The theoretical part accounts for 30%, and the actual operation part 70%.

China knitwear industry association organizes referees and coaches, formulating competition plans and unifying competition standards.

Enterprises are encouraged to organize preliminaries for selecting excellent athletes.

In order to ensure the universality and influence of the competition, the weft knitting (skills of big round machine) skills competition will start from the preliminary contest to the finals for about half a year, and the national finals will be held at the end of November 2011 or early December.

It is reported that the top 6 players in the national finals will receive the title of "technical experts in the textile industry".

The top 3 players will be promoted by the skill center according to the regulations. The fourth to eighteenth players will be promoted to higher vocational qualification according to the regulations (the 3 level of the national vocational qualification). Fourth.

Yang Shibin, President of the China knitwear Association, said the circular knitting machine

Xu Kunyuan suggested that we hope to train a group of post masters and technical pacesetter through skills competition, to create a relatively stable management personnel, to grasp the key personnel and operational talents of new technologies, and to promote the vigorous development of vocational training, post training, technical skills and technological innovation activities of the whole industry, and to promote the labor productivity of the whole industry by promoting their experience, and comprehensively promote the overall quality and skill level of the technicians.
