Quest: Lining Central Laboratory &Nbsp; Refining "Compassionate" Notes

Multiple dissolving

"The rows of boxes you see are Supplier Fabrics collected from Zhejiang, Jiangsu, Fujian and Guangdong. " After sorting out the fabric collection in Lining lab, the next step is to conduct targeted physical examination, according to different needs. Fabric Carry out tests on different links.

"From the soaping test to bursting strength test, every link needs accurate data analysis." Director Wu explained that this is the essence of the laboratory. Everything is right according to the established procedure. Time can not be more than one minute, nor can it be less than one minute. Especially in the constant temperature and humidity laboratory, the number of people entering the laboratory can only be up to 5. This is because more than 5 people, the laboratory temperature and humidity will deviate, thereby affecting the accuracy of the laboratory.

According to the introduction, the sport brand clothing Lining, an ordinary T-shirt, needs 23 test items, including soaping, dry and dry resistance, moisture resistance, sweat resistance, water resistance, light and sweat resistance, mutual dyeing, color migration, bursting strength, joint strength, shrinkage rate, washing distortion rate, washing time, pilling, silk pilling, weight, formaldehyde content, light resistance, fiber content, odor, azo, pH value and so on. It takes 202 hours. 4 of these tests (light resistance, fiber content, odor and azo) need to be sent to the National Testing Institute for testing.

"Today, we tested 40 clothing fabrics, and at most tested more than 100 fabrics. If you calculate it on average, you can get 300 test reports including clothing and Lining sports shoes every day. Director Wu told reporters.

Take the initiative to find things.

Speaking of the elders of Lining, there is also a figure named "bone ash". She is the manager of clothing and accessories quality management department of Lining (China) Sporting Goods Co., Ltd. Since the establishment of Lining laboratory in 1992, Miao manager has never left Lining.

In 1992, when Lining set up a laboratory in Sanshui, Guangdong, there was only one more than 40 square meter "territory". There was only one bare rod commander in the team. Only a few basic items could be tested. By 2004, the laboratory moved to the three floor of Lining gymnastics school in Foshan, Guangdong, and expanded to hundreds of square meters due to development needs. The laboratory team has also grown to 30 people (full time inspectors), of whom 9 are technical personnel in University and postgraduate education, and 30% in technical personnel. The main testing items of the laboratory include four major categories: Physics, chemistry, ecology and functionality. {page_break}

There are two things that make Miao manager memorable. In the summer of 2004, due to the high temperature and long illumination time, when consumers dressed in Lining's clothing, the products were Decolorated to varying degrees due to sweat and other reasons. At that time, dealers all over the country were reflecting this matter, so that every employee in the central laboratory was worried.

In order to find out the crux of the problem, in addition to repeated experiments in the laboratory, and searching for relevant information from the foreign product standards, it also worked with a number of national research institutes to solve the problem, and the quality inspection standard of light fastness was developed. Since then, a small piece of fabric has added an "experience" link.

Another thing that impressed Miao manager is that in the past two years, there are many staff reactions at terminal stores. Many customers have complained about the problem of fabric hooks, and there has been a lot of disability. This not only affects the sales performance of the company, but also increases the quality cost of the company.

"The national standard does not specify the problem of fabric hooking, and the company also asks for solutions." Miao manager said that there was no pressure at the time of receiving the task, but to her surprise, the central laboratory did a test again, and did not find any loopholes in the link. Which part of the problem is it? Is not the test not careful, once again, the result is the same. The rework left her heart to the bottom.

After consulting the information and consulting with the fabric manufacturer, the crux of the problem was finally found. The main problem is that the long fibers of this fabric are easier to thread. If the floating line is shortened, then the fabric structure can be changed to avoid such phenomena. After finding the problem, Li Ning Co made a "great adjustment" to the structure of this kind of fabric, and solved the problem of silk thread without affecting the quality and the beauty of the product.

Miao manager excitedly told reporters: "this year, our company has undertaken the drafting of the" national technical standards for knitted professional sportswear "in the national standard, we added the check items and requirements, and now the standard is soliciting opinions from all over the country.

Value upwards

What is the value of brand? Miao manager believes that fabric is a very important link.

"Apart from the Guangdong Foshan central laboratory, there is also a laboratory at Lining headquarters, which is mainly responsible for testing whether the fabrics are qualified or not." Miao manager said, take a clothing tester, this tester is composed of numerous suckers, as long as the different small sucker to stick to different positions of the human body, it will immediately detect the relevant data of the tested people, through this data to understand athletes in the movement of body parts of the temperature changes.

Director Wu said that there are two main tasks in Foshan central laboratory. First, with the company's R & D, development and production of fabric quality control, the new materials developed can only be used for garment design and development only when testing is qualified. The garments developed can only be ordered after testing. "In the production process, we require fabric suppliers to provide inspection reports for each batch of fabrics, and the central laboratory for comparison."

Another priority is to verify the performance of the newly developed materials in the R & D department and to draft and revise enterprise standards and national and industry standard services for the company. "Before, the laboratory is mainly based on fabric testing and quality supervision, and at present, the main responsibility of the laboratory lies in the research and development of new fabrics." Director Wu said, for example, in the past few years, Li Ning Co's exclusive research and development of fast perspiration fabric ATdry has received very good feedback in the market.

"At present, the biggest challenge is time, because every time the customer takes the fabric to test, they want to produce the results as soon as possible, and each piece of fabric testing takes hundreds of hours. This problem is the biggest headache for us." Miu manager is very helpless to explain that, of course, besides objective factors, there are also subjective factors. For example, in time management, we must allocate time reasonably and strive to accomplish the task with the fastest speed.

For the future of the central laboratory, miu manager and Wu director agree that the central laboratory will focus on product research and development in the future. Therefore, we should strengthen the supervision of the fabric used in the factory, and assign the testing work to the laboratory of the factory. Lining central laboratory, as a professional functional testing institution for professional sporting goods, is a national accredited laboratory. Its ultimate goal is to be able to develop independent intellectual property rights detection methods and development testing equipment, to participate in and lead the formulation of industry standards and national standards, and to participate in the formulation of ISO standards on behalf of Chinese related industries. Let Lining have independent intellectual property rights detection methods to become one of the mainstream detection methods in the world.
