Textile And Garment Enterprises Should Implement Information Management Step By Step.

More and more enterprises are aware of the importance of information management. However, in the process of realizing information management, they encounter many blind spots, and there are many wrong understandings. This is also a headache for enterprises. therefore clothing Enterprises should be on the information system, and application software is the key. Choosing partners is the key.

　 IBM focuses on fast fashion brands

At present, domestic garment enterprises are exploring the way of transformation and upgrading. Fast fashion, characterized by "fast", not only requires enterprises to grasp the trend quickly, but also needs to build up a fast communication channel between customers and brands online and offline. Taking a look at the development of fast fashion brands at home and abroad, enterprises can seize the initiative in the fashion of "fast fashion" only by focusing on customers, enhancing the integration and optimization of supply chain, and planning and marketing capabilities and the ability to respond quickly to the market.

Recently, IBM combined with China fast. Fashion industry The development situation deeply interpreted the IBM wisdom business viewpoint, and announced that Dongguan City Beauty Industry Co., Ltd. is deploying smart business solutions through the deployment of smart business and sales system. In the future, IBM will continue to help urban beauty achieve the fast speed and adaptability of fast fashion industry, and accelerate the realization of the strategic blueprint for urban beauty. IBM defines intelligent commerce as customer centered, demand driven business value chain, and emphasizes customer centered precision marketing at the level of enterprise marketing management. Sun Chongteng, general manager of enterprise marketing management solutions of IBM Greater China software group, explained in detail: "the customers mentioned here include consumers, enterprises, channels and stores;" demand "refers to orders, including customer orders, purchase orders, transportation orders, etc. the meaning of" commerce "is buying, selling, marketing, retreating and exchanging, including commodity specifications, all contact points with customers, and value chain refers to from consumers to suppliers, that is, consumers to join agents, companies, factories, suppliers, raw materials suppliers and so on. Integrating IBM's deep industry knowledge and leading software products and services, IBM intelligent business solutions will not only help enterprises improve the value created for customers and partners in a rapidly changing market environment, but also help enterprises optimize the flow of procurement, marketing, sales and services, and take customers as the center of their decision-making and action to realize their wisdom growth.

A research report in March 2013 pointed out that the rate of return on investment brought by intelligent commerce is 12.05 times. From the customer experience of smart commerce, we can see that the actual benefits of IBM intelligence business can be summed up as indirect and direct benefits. Among them, 60% comes from indirect benefits, such as the promotion of productivity; 40% comes from direct benefits, such as the reduction of operating costs. "In China, with the escalation of consumer demand for fashion consumption, enterprises need to enhance their core competitiveness through IT information technology," said Sha Sha, vice president and chief information officer of urban beauty group. The masses created by urban beauty Underwear In addition to putting forward a new concept of underwear consumption, it is more important to start the transformation process of underwear fast fashion industry chain. For this reason, urban beauty combines IBM intelligent business solution with actual business. The degree of influence on enterprises is far from technical level. We expect to upgrade our stores and upgrade services, so that consumers can enjoy first-rate shopping experience and feel the charm of fast fashion. In the future, urban beauty will also conduct more in-depth and all-round cooperation with IBM in the field of intelligent commerce, leading the acceleration development of China's fast fashion industry. It is reported that IBM has provided intelligent business supply chain optimization and inventory optimization system, which helps them manage the product information and inventory information with efficient information system, and thus stands out in the increasingly fierce market competition. Moreover, a world-renowned fast fashion brand has also adopted the IBM intelligent business replenishment optimization system, thus constantly consolidating its leading position in the fast fashion industry.

To put the concept of "customer centered" into practice, urban beauty will create intelligent sales system with IBM, effectively integrate online and offline resources, and provide an overall e-commerce service platform for enterprise customers and consumers. Relying on IBM to support B2B and B2C mode, urban beauty transforms the business mode change brought by Internet technology into new driving force for business growth, and achieves the expected goal of full channel sales. Urban beauty can cooperate with IBM through its own development and information technology and solutions that combine industry characteristics. At the present stage, by deploying smart stores and building intelligent sales system, we can create a competitive business mode and realize the growth of enterprises.

　　 Gerber integrated function advantage is obvious.

Many clothing companies are now familiar with the product data management system (PDM), and some are implementing a more comprehensive and collaborative product life cycle management (PLM) solution, with a view to improving profitability. Gerber YuniquePLM crosses the cycle of product design and development, from product concept to purchase order. The uniqueness of the Gerber solution lies in the continuous improvement of the business process. Users can add functions according to the increase of demand and benefit from the flexibility of PLM.

By simplifying and shortening the implementation cycle, Gerber's technology saves time, resources and costs. Users can implement in the entire supply chain. PLM Before establishing key business processes, prepare data internally, train and improve staff speed. At the same time, YuniquePLM's powerful integration capability with CAD, AccuMark, AdobeIllustrator and ERP software is also a great advantage.

In today's world, the success or failure of business depends on the efficiency of supply chain. Compared with foreign companies, China's clothing enterprises prefer commodity planning. In response to this, Gerber has launched the life cycle management system YuniquePLM to help enterprises improve the visibility of product development according to the needs of enterprises. Through the pre planning of commodity lines, it quickly calculates the amount and cost of raw materials, and the labor costs needed to help enterprises improve efficiency and shorten the time to market.

YuniquePLM is a browser based solution that includes product lifecycle management (PLM) and supplier relationship management (SRM) solutions. By improving the collaboration of the entire supply chain, it can help garment enterprises to achieve fast and efficient listing of commodities. "The power of YuniquePLM's new product line management is powerful. Designer Before the concept of grass painting or the creation of a single design draft, the enterprise planning team can estimate whether the product meets the profit expectation. Gerber technology expert told reporters that YuniquePLM's powerful cost accounting function can generate a variety of simulation situations and enterprise comparisons, so that companies of any size can clearly know the impact of different design decisions at the earlier stage of the process.

about Promotion of information technology A simple and easy to use system is also critical for programme providers, which helps enterprises staff enter the role in time. Compared with other industries, the product lifecycle management process in the fashion industry is characterized by naturalness, visibility, collaboration and intensity. Some manufacturing environments may have some items and a longer development cycle, but there are hundreds of items in fashion, and the development cycle is very short. Fashion companies require instant visual multi classification (seasonal, group or year) and multi-dimensional bill of materials to communicate with suppliers. Fashion requires hundreds of simultaneous prototypes (samples). In other words, the prototype of other industries is simpler. This makes the efficient management of product life cycle more complicated, and it is not a process that can be managed effectively through spreadsheets or e-mail.

Another key difference is that apparel supply chain participants and their information needs are different from other industries. The typical discrete manufacturing industry is composed of engineers and technicians, and the aesthetic requirements for sharing data procedures are not high. The fashion industry's supply chain participants are merchandiser and designer. They share more than data and images, which require color, fabric, drape and fitness to be accurately displayed. Therefore, the beauty of the program is a key part.

This means that the PLM solution must have a friendly user interface and can be configured by itself, rather than just a fixed program. Therefore, the PLM solution obtains data from the source and provides visual images in many parts of the process.

　 Rick is specially designed for Garment industry Development

Garment enterprises have been using information software for product design or development for some time, but most enterprises only regard software as a tool and do not integrate them well into the product development process of an enterprise. As a result, the problem of "isolated island" is usually caused, which leads to the technical superiority of advanced products.

There are many reasons for this phenomenon. First of all, it may be because the information system of enterprises is not updated in time after implementation. Therefore, we can not grasp the latest trend of the industry in time. This is why, when considering the procurement system, enterprises need to consider the problem from the perspective of long-term development. We must pay attention to whether software providers continue to invest in R & D regularly and regularly.

Secondly, not all enterprises are ready to carry out information construction. In order to maximize the effectiveness of information-based products, when large projects are launched, enterprises need to prepare for changes in the company's structure and process in advance. At the very beginning, such preparations can be carried out independently in all links, but in the long run, we must break the barriers and achieve the integration of all links.

That's what some of Rick's customers do. After improving their design links, they found that the production efficiency was improved. After that, they improved the product development process and made it further improved on the original basis. In order to improve the overall efficiency of enterprises, we integrate each step of production in turn and integrate the PLM solution together. It is precisely because the degree of "deep tillage" in the construction of information links between Chinese and foreign enterprises is different, which makes Chinese and foreign enterprises have a certain gap in the efficiency of production. Taking the proofing part of clothing as an example, this gap is reflected in efficiency and cost control.

In terms of proofing, speed is very important, and fitness is the key to success of a garment. So choosing one can help designers to consider fit when designing garments. Beating The solution is very important. Concepts such as "3D prototype" will help companies speed up the time to market and improve their fitness.

Take Rick's Modaris as an example, the virtual sample room allows enterprises to participate in the examination and approval of clothing styles and fitness before making the first physical sample. In the process of transformation from design to production, Modaris simulates realistic virtual samples by associating plane patterns, fabric specifications and 3D virtual mannequin. The clothing series completed by various departments can not only save time, but also reduce the waste of large amounts of resources. In addition, Rick also has a concept called "intelligent correlation", which is a unique function developed by Rick. It can improve the efficiency of plate making and coding by connecting related template slices. Whether the template is adjusted or the 3D image is directly adjusted, the modifications made by the operator can be automatically transferred to all linked slices. After it is combined with a fully customized human body model, smart links can allow the development of full size styles and no need to execute the code operation separately.

Therefore, a good solution can bring a qualitative leap to the enterprise. Unfortunately, these latest technologies have not been applied in China, and some enterprises even use manual methods of operation. In this regard, Rick hopes that Chinese enterprises can change the existing outdated concepts and production methods, and be brave enough to try new technologies.

　　 afterword

　　 Clothing enterprise The realization of information management is a gradual process. The correct introduction of a perfect management system and scientific application will surely bring great help to the development of enterprises and realize the meticulous management and efficient operation of enterprises.

Many enterprises have the mentality of "one step in place" when they are ready to implement the management system, and feel that the function of the software is strong and comprehensive. As everyone knows, the more functions and detailed software, the more complex the operation and the lower practicability.

Therefore, it is the key to concentrate on solving the main problems in business process, such as Clothing production Enterprises need to know in time the order of the surface accessories, the production schedule, the goods delivery and the final order accounting is the focus of the enterprise. For clothing sales enterprises, the timely distribution of goods, circulation and sales trend in the software is the top priority in management. If we blindly pursue the large and complete software function, we will inevitably go into the information misunderstandings that can not be seen everywhere.

In addition, many enterprises still have a wrong understanding that using software is to replace manual business with computers. Indeed, this is one of them, but if it is simply to think so, it is totally wrong. The core of software lies in management thinking. The function of software is to achieve information sharing and improve efficiency. Software implementation is a change to traditional daily work habits. It penetrates into the core of the enterprise. It can transform the team, enhance management and satisfy the long-term interests of the enterprise.

The implementation of information management requires not only high input, but also the complexity of the comprehensive format, the high risk of implementation, the failure to guarantee the success rate, the normal management of enterprises, and the lack of information management. In such a fierce market competition environment, it is difficult to enhance the process control ability and decision-making support ability of enterprises, thus losing the development opportunities. For enterprises, whether to go to the left or to the right is indeed a difficult problem to choose.

Is there no safe way to deal with such a difficult problem? Looking at problems from another perspective, you may find different scenery. Enterprise informatization is not only a monolithic system, but also a matter of priorities. As a garment enterprise, it develops from a single format to a production and marketing integration. Clothing enterprise .

As long as the software vendors can understand the actual needs of enterprises at different stages and suit the remedy to the case, the problem will naturally be solved.
