Textile And Apparel Industry Seeks Solutions To Problems

Facing the pformation of the retail era, it is an inevitable road to promote the integration of online and offline operation mechanism.

Faced with the test of the new pattern of consumption channels and price changes, the domestic apparel enterprises generally have a sharp slowdown or decline.

We must find ways to solve the problem according to the problem.

1) adapt to the pformation of the retail era, and do a good job of endogenous development.

。

To sum up, it requires enterprises to realize the pformation of channel, online and offline integration, retail management and efficient supply chain.

2), around the new

New

The reform will greatly promote the operation mechanism of online and offline integration and development.

In order to achieve full channel operation, domestic apparel enterprises are faced with two major problems: difficulty in price and complex channel interests.

But under the background of different products on line and offline, the implementation of online and offline two legged walking strategy is more consistent with China's national conditions in recent years.

At present, in the process of quantitative change of O2O, the company that can first sort out and control the distribution pattern of channel benefits will be obviously ahead of quantitative change, and can take the lead in waiting for the qualitative change to take off.

3) seek the extension development of new breakthroughs. Overseas experience shows that continuous acquisitions can bring up famous multi brand groups, and domestic enterprises should actively seek new opportunities for extension.

The mainstream market value of overseas clothing enterprises is tens of billions of dollars, and M & A is a very important driving factor for the realization of market capitalization. We can not change the macro environment of low demand, but we can actively seek suitable M & A opportunities to build Fang Xiangnu power of fashion consumer goods group.

Overseas cases show that in the process of M & A expansion, the phenomenon of financial performance "first scale, then profit" may be more common.

In the future, retail sales of textile and apparel industry are still at the bottom of China.

The clothing industry, especially the fashion industry, is faced with the problem of diversification. The deep-seated problem is that the production and supply chain lacks flexibility and can not respond quickly to changing demands. The solution is to improve the supply chain's quick response under the premise of properly controlling product diversification.

Quick response depends on the following three aspects. Accordingly, enterprises should also work together:

First, the basic design of standardization.

Zara although there are tens of thousands of clothing, but its basic design is far from that, differentiation is mainly manifested in color and so on.

Take sweaters as an example: Zara will produce a considerable number of white sweaters (basic design). Once a good color is found, the supplier will soon dye the color. Through the quick replenishment system, it will be released to the global stores in two or three weeks.

This is like in the restaurant industry, some people like to stir fried beans, some people like bacon fried beans, but the basic elements are beans: pre pick, wash, arrange, guests, a few minutes to serve.

From beans to harvested to supermarket, although the whole cycle is three or four months, from spinning to fabric to dyeing cycle is almost the same, but it has no effect on restaurants.

For example, in heavy trucks and large bus industry, the needs of each customer may be different. But in a well run company, the basic vehicle types, especially the chassis base, have standardized design, and control the differentiation to the lowest, so that the delivery cycle can be reduced, and the response speed of the supply chain is raised. These enterprises have more advantages than their competitors.

A lot of clothing enterprises are struggling, one of the fundamental reasons is that there are many styles and lack of common "chassis base". The products differentiated very early in the production process, resulting in the process of differentiated inventory is too high, and the failure activity is the chief culprit of the loss of fast reaction capability of the supply chain.

Second, improve the pparency of supply chain.

It depends on the smooth flow of information in the supply chain.

The different departments within the company and the partners in the supply chain are interlinked. Information flow is the glue that links these links together.

The information is not smooth, the pparency of the supply chain will drop, and there will be gaps between the links, which can only be filled by inventory.

Taking sales and operations as an example, information sharing is not enough and pparency is not good enough to increase the uncertainty of supply chain operation, and the natural response of the supply chain is to increase inventory (a major function of inventory is to deal with uncertainty).

Uncertainty will be pmitted along the supply chain, and will be enlarged step by step. The farther away from the source, the greater the change. Correspondingly, every node in the supply chain will generate a pile of stocks.

As the saying goes, information is changed to stock, and pparency is increased by sharing information, so as to reduce inventory on the supply chain, so that once the demand changes, the enterprise can consume inappropriate stocks and establish suitable stocks faster.

In many garment enterprises, the supply chain operation is like a black hole. The product, demand and supply information are seriously isolated, and the information flow is not smooth. It can not play the role of the nervous system of the supply chain, and it is bound to slow the reaction of the supply chain.

The reason is that there is a lack of appropriate IT solutions (technical problems), except for reluctance to share information.

In Zara, h&m and other top garment enterprises, the supply chain information system has become a competitive weapon. It enhances the pparency of the supply chain, reduces the inventory of the supply chain, and increases the responsiveness of the supply chain.
