Informatization Of Textile Enterprises To Solve The Pain Of Rising Manpower Cost

"Introduce a worker, reward 300 yuan."

This is a recruitment advertisement for a company in Longjiang for a long time.

Foshan Daily's third quarter "small and medium enterprises survival and development" questionnaire survey data also show the plight of enterprise human resources: in the cost factors that affect enterprises, 21% of enterprises feel shortage of talent, and 15% of enterprises feel difficult to recruit workers.

Using JIT lean production and RFID information technology in textile cloud technology, we save 1 million 500 thousand yuan per person per year.

Foshan Anthony Knitting Co., Ltd. has found a way to deal with the high cost of manpower.

When visiting the small and medium-sized enterprises in Foshan, reporters found that enterprises like Anthony were not a minority in Foshan. They found a new way to cope with the rising cost of manpower in the predicament.

Shortage of human resources dragged behind

"In 2008, furniture factory labor is probably 1500 yuan / month, now even to 4000~5000 yuan / month, may not be able to invite the right people."

Foshan Furniture Association staff Miss Yu told reporters.

Although the financial tsunami caused great impact on the furniture industry in 2008, the cost of labor and materials did not rise significantly.

Now, when the market shrinks, artificial growth has made some enterprises unbearable.

"Labor shortage" has become a frequent word in the media. Experts are no longer taboo to put forward the argument of "Lewis turning point" and "demographic dividend disappear".

At the beginning of this year, 20% of furniture enterprises in Longjiang delayed the commencement of work because they could not recruit workers.

Reporters saw in Longjiang two weeks ago that a small household appliance company launched an advertisement to introduce a worker award of 300 yuan.

The state of shortage of workers has enhanced the possibility of workers' voting with their feet. Wages in all parts of the country are up and up, and the wage gap between the East and the west is narrowing.

After balancing, migrant workers in the mainland have been employed nearby, and the rate of overall migration has slowed down.

Some people are standing at the angle of wage change to see that "Lewis turning point" has arrived.

"The rising labor cost caused by recruitment difficulties has seriously affected the further development of enterprises."

Mr. Deng, vice president of an enterprise in Longjiang, Shunde, sighed.

With the continuous rise of labor costs, some enterprises are at a loss, and some enterprises have already prepared for a rainy day.

Foshan Anthony Knitting Co., Ltd. in 2008, when the financial crisis arrived, resolutely established the provincial digital textile and garment engineering and technology center in 2008 with Guangdong Textile College and ibell technology company, and developed the project based on RFID's application in the field of garment manufacturing.

While using information technology, we will introduce the production hanging equipment, change the labor intensive characteristics of the knitting industry, and gradually realize the semi-automatic and semi manual production mode.

"For example, before the implementation of the project, the company needs 35 managers, and only 10 after implementation. According to the average annual salary of Foshan managers 60 thousand yuan, the annual savings of 1 million 500 thousand yuan."

Liu Bishun, general manager of Anthony Knitting Co., Ltd.

It is understood that after the adoption of the system, the cycle of Anthony's replacement of product varieties is shortened by 1/3 to 1/2, and the production pattern of multiple varieties, small batch and fast delivery is realized. The delivery rate of products is increased from 95% to 98%, the order processing time is shortened from 1~2 to 1~2 hours, and the number of stock days has dropped from 200 days to 90 days, with an additional 40%.

Ordinary grassroots employees also get tangible benefits.

After the implementation of the project, the staff piece rate increased by nearly 30%.

In the current recruitment difficulties, Anthony relaxed the recruitment needs, the company and employees to achieve a win-win situation.

Benefit from management innovation

Yao Ying, chairman of Sanshui Jia Lida textile company, has a deep understanding of this.

He said that in the face of the severe economic situation, the company had lost 15% of its jobs. The optimized production process averaged 2 people to complete 3 lives, while the remaining employees increased by 20%.

Careful calculation has become a necessary measure for many enterprises.

Foshan City Li Mei Lighting Technology Co., Ltd. chairman Tan long root said that small businesses in the face of rising costs, the external negotiations are often weaker, mainly rely on internal optimization.

Taking circuit board process as an example, after meticulous management and reducing internal friction, 4 workers were originally required to maintain, and now only 1 people are needed.

The company has streamlined 40 employees this year.

Among them, management has been reduced from 54 to 47.

Government and enterprises are hand in hand.

In September 24th last year, the Labor Department of Nanhai District arranged a special recruitment meeting for only one enterprise for two days.

At the beginning of this year, when there was labor shortage in the whole country, Foshan Industry Association led enterprises to go south and North, and to "labor force" to save people.

However, the deep level of the high cost of human resources is structural lack of work, mobility and difficulty in retaining people. This requires soft environment to attract and retain people.

In the survey of the survival and development of small and medium-sized enterprises, in the open question volume of "what areas do you want the government to support the development of small and medium-sized enterprises", three of the 10 expectations of government support relate to talent issues.

Enterprises are eager for the government to help enterprises introduce talents, create a platform for the exchange of human resources and draw up plans for attracting talents.

Echoing the expectations of enterprises, this year, in January, the 4 policy documents of the Foshan medium and long term talent development plan (2010-2020 years) and so on, were to reduce talent entry threshold and establish high-level talent green channel to attract talents.

The Nanhai District also proposed that the investment in the next 10 years should not be less than 10 billion to create an environment for attracting talents.

"Enterprises should do everything possible to resolve the pressure, and the government should try every means to create a soft environment."

The person in charge of Guangdong Zhujiang Switch Company Limited admitted that the role of the government is still "setting up the stage", and the enterprise is the leading actor of "singing opera".
