Garment Orders? Remember These 5 Points Are Very Important!

As the differentiation of garment industry becomes more and more obvious, many garment brands' fast reverse orders are processed directly. However, most of the brands are inexperienced and even searched for a long time after choosing the best quality processing plants. The following 5 points must be considered in order to choose the external processing plant.

Factory scope - within 500 km

Fast reverse mode requires high response speed. Therefore, enterprises implementing fast reverse mode often have certain geographical restrictions on supplier selection. In principle, try to be close to the company as far as possible. For example, the implementation of JIT's automobile factory requires its parts and components plant to be built within 5 km around the assembly plant, so as to realize the internal "0 inventory".

The clothing industry's fast reverse benchmarking ZARA also gathered more than 40 garment processing plants around its headquarters. In pursuit of the ultimate "quick", ZARA spent a lot of money to build underground conveyors and connect them to their headquarters.

Most of China's fast and reverse brands are concentrated in Guangzhou, Fujian, Hangzhou and other places. The core reason is that these places have sufficient supporting resources to support the establishment of the fast reverse system.

With the rapid development of communication tools (video conferencing, WeChat group, etc.) and high-speed rail and highway in recent years, the scope of supporting plants has been relaxed. Now, within 500 kilometers, the reaction speed can be accepted.

Therefore, there are certain limitations when choosing factories. Balance between distance and cost.

In recent years, the trend of the spanfer of the clothing industry is very obvious - moving from the southeast coast to the Midwest. The 8 garment industry belts that were relatively focused in China (Hangzhou women's wear industrial belt, Qingdao women's wear industrial belt, Dongguan women's wear industrial belt, Fujian men's wear industrial belt, Guangzhou men's wear industrial belt, Changshu men's wear children's wear industrial belt, Wenzhou industrial belt and Huzhou children's wear industrial belt) still have certain influence, and there are still quite a number of mature factories, but the scale has been gradually miniaturization.

In recent 5 years, garment factories have begun to appear in Hubei, Jiangxi, Anhui, Henan, Sichuan and some parts of the country. Although there is no clear industry focus, its processing capacity has surpassed these traditional industrial belts.

Factory size -- match each other

Average order /10= factory number. For example, the average order quantity is about 1000 pieces, so it is more appropriate to choose a medium-sized factory with about 100 people. The average order is about 300 pieces, and the factory that looks for 100 people is a bit redundant. About 30 small factories are more suitable.

For the spanformation of fast reverse system, I personally do not recommend large scale factories. Because the rush mode will generate a lot of temporary urgent chasing / demand, and only become the core customer of the factory, will he meet your needs. But large factories look tall and big, but they are bullied and bullied. Instead of being the phoenix tail, we will be the core customers of small factories and the smallest customers of big factories.

Factory configuration - sparrow is the smallest, and the five organs are all.

The first principle of fast reverse mode is "quick reaction". Although we are looking for small factories, we still have to ask that the basic links of these factories, such as cloth inspection, printing room, bed cutting, sewing, post road, packaging and so on, must be possessed. For some two processing processes, such as water washing, embroidery printing, nail beads, etc., there must be enough familiar resources. In other words, these small factories are only small in size, but their configuration is no different from that of big factories.

We should pay attention to a wrong idea: I want only products, and factories can produce the products that I want. I don't care about others! This idea is no problem for the traditional clothing orders, but for fast reverse orders, if the factory does not have these configurations, when it is urgent to make the order, the factory can not match you with that fast reaction speed.

Factory management - see the level in detail

Whether the management is in place, we can see the scene. Whether the toilet is clean, whether the floor is clean, whether the machine is clean, whether the sound of engine running in the workshop is continuous or not. If these details are good, it shows that the factory is well managed and there are not many on-site problems. Because managers have the energy to manage the toilets, the ground and so on. If there are many problems at the scene, the management will be in a terrible state and have no time to attend to these details.

Another point to note is the proportion of old workers (turnover rate). How many employees are there in this factory: over 1 years of service? How many more than 3 years of service? These data can be understood through on-site questioning.

The high proportion of the old staff indicates that the factory is stable, and it has proved the management level of the factory side by side. Moreover, the proportion of old workers is high, and the quality level of the factory is relatively stable (not high quality level, but stable quality).

When visiting the factory, you can learn about the brand that the factory once made. If a factory has made some good brands a few years ago, but the factory has a relatively high turnover rate, be careful.

Factory concentration - product concentration over 70%

Judging whether a factory is suitable for fast reverse is very difficult to judge its professionalism at the beginning. Then judging from the concentration of the order. The factories that specializes in making clothes are in the acceptable range of specialization level and processing cost. If the scale of the factory itself is not large and all kinds of products are made, it is hard to believe how much expertise he can accumulate.

The idea of factory owners is also crucial. It depends on whether or not the boss agrees with the trend of fast and reverse, and whether ambition is bigger. If the factory owner has no confidence in fast and reverse, and the individual is also small and comfortable, then the factory may encounter great resistance when carrying out the mode of production, delivery and arrangement. Such factories will be able to match the goods in the short term, but in the long run, they will not be able to integrate into the fast reverse system.

After inspecting factory configuration, site management and order concentration, it is recommended to have a frank communication with the factory owner. Inform the form of fast reverse order, if the factory owner's attitude is very clear, that's almost the same. As for whether or not to carry out strategic cooperation, it is a matter of words and no cooperation for 35 months.
