Science And Technology Boosted The Rapid Development Of Garment Industry

When a traditional manufacturing industry goes to the high-tech application industry for ten years, it deserves more attention.

China's garment industry may be in a period of role change, and more and more technology is applied.

In fact, since the whole industry in 2001 put forward the idea of "developing advanced productive forces and upgrading traditional industries with new and high technologies", at present, a consensus has been formed in this traditional industry: the future of garment industry depends on technological innovation to upgrade and pform industries, which is closely related to the development of science and technology.

From the production of clothing fabrics to clothing design, production, logistics, terminal sales, every link is indispensable to the support of scientific and technological strength.

"Developing new and high technology, upgrading and upgrading traditional industries, from fiber materials, processing technology, product innovation to marketing, must have a very direct relationship with modern high technology."

Du Yuzhou, President of the China clothing association, said that he has always stressed the "contribution rate of science and technology". "To raise the contribution rate of science and technology is to make the Chinese garment industry stand in the commanding heights of science and technology in the field of global clothing, create a market opportunity with science and technology, and create super value and efficiency through science and technology."

The most familiar example is that Chinese clothing enterprises directly apply scientific and technological achievements to production products.

For example, YOUNGOR.

Since 2004, YOUNGOR has been working with the hemp research center of the Quartermaster Equipment Research Institute of the PLA General Logistics Department to study hemp technology. Their research has reached nine leading level in the world, and twenty technical achievements have declared the national invention patent.

Six years later, the first Han Ma family store opened in Ningbo, and the three major products of home textiles, clothing, clothing and cultural tourism products took the lead in the market.

However, with the advancement of information technology, "two integration" has become an important means of sustainable development in various aspects such as reducing costs, improving efficiency and reducing energy consumption.

Specifically, it is to promote the infiltration and integration of information technology, information products, information resources, information standards and other information elements in various levels such as industrial technology, industrial products, industrial equipment, industrial management, industrial infrastructure, and industrial market environment, and form a new type of enterprise management mode and organizational form, forming a new mode of industrial sustainable development, upgrading industrial capacity and industrial quality, promoting the pformation of industrial economic development mode, and building a modern industrial system.

Li Ying, deputy director of information technology division, Ministry of information technology, said.

More clothing enterprises regard information technology as a strong support for the company to develop at a higher level, which has become a new breakthrough point in the application of science and technology in the apparel industry.

Zhang Tielong, director of information management center of the nine Mu Wang, thinks that the realization of information management is of great significance for improving the terminal management of garment enterprises.

The information construction of the company started in 2001. According to the strategic planning and the end of 2012, it has three stages: the first stage is to distribute the customers as the guide, optimize the key processes of internal operation, and enhance the capability of the service market. The business areas include finance, planning and ordering, production, distribution, manufacturing processes, etc. the second stage is customer oriented, business areas include group finance, retail, customer service, information portal, supply chain optimization, etc. in the third stage, IT strategic system planning and implementation is carried out according to the company's new business strategy, including human resources and IT strategic planning.

"The implementation of comprehensive information construction has built up an effective overall enterprise process system.

The first is the timely and accurate collection of market data.

In the market, what?

At present, nine Mu Wang can monitor the sales data of all the detailed products, the data and distribution status of finished goods warehouse, the whole process of order tracking, garment production and accessories inventory and so on. Based on this, many decision support models are developed, such as sales forecasting model and intelligent active replenishment model.

These systems integrate product design, production, inventory, logistics, sales, finance and so on, and help enterprises to enhance inventory management, data analysis and decision-making, market response and other capabilities, and help management to make scientific decisions.

The seven wolves focus on how to use technology in the company's backstage management, such as how to improve management system and information system.

"If the management system and information system fail to keep pace with the rapid development of enterprises, the weakness of operation will be exposed.

Therefore, we need to build a system of internal strength.

Company CIO single peak said.

The company's supply chain management system has been completed at the stage, the efficiency of sales and orders has been greatly improved, and the dealer management has also been incorporated into the visual track.

Earlier, the company has implemented the GSP system used to improve the factory's scanning and packing process, changing the shipment packaging from the original manual operation to the computer scanning package, "the accuracy rate can reach 100%, the time is greatly shortened, and the cooperation with the outsourcing plant is better."

At the same time, through order data import function, you can get order data conveniently and quickly, and use order splitting and merging functions to achieve flexible order management.

Based on this system, seven wolves can get the data of production and marketing management and warehouse inventory management in time, so as to arrange production plan more reasonably and outsource production resources.

It is not just the coordination of upstream factories. The single peak pursuit is the overall efficiency of supply chain integration with three aspects, namely, production, channel and terminal consumers.

"Informatization changes the form of operation of the industry."

Company chairman Zhou Shaoxiong said.

Wang Quangeng, vice president of the US state, said: "the price of raw materials and the increase of employee benefits are increasing year by year. For most garment enterprises, the cost increase of 10% this year is very normal."

But in a "boom", Smith Barney can compress the cost, because it extends its information system to fabric manufacturers.

Before, according to the company's virtual management mode, procurement is directly placing orders with garment factories, regardless of the purchase and management of fabrics. Now the company extends a IT system to fabric manufacturers, that is, "extending the value chain to the field of raw materials supply."

"Fabric is the focus of competition in the clothing industry. To seize the fabric link is to control the key links of the supply chain 70-80%. These links include quality, cost, production and supply speed to get orders, so we must extend the value chain to the field of raw materials supply and enhance our competitiveness."

Wang Quangeng said.

At present, the United States and the United States from upstream suppliers to downstream agents have adopted a unified management information system.

The system is developed by the company headquarters, and the supplier can follow up the whole process of the factory from raw material to semi finished products and the whole process of shipment. In addition to the internal business process, agents can also follow up every paction in all terminal retail stores, and each paction can be analyzed from four angles, namely, products, consumers, climate and employees, which greatly improves the information pparency and Information turnover efficiency of the supply chain.

Lin Hongnan, chairman of the clothing equipment integrated solution provider Fu Cheng (China) Limited, also believes that before the advent of information technology, the whole upper and lower reaches of the textile and garment industry were "faulting", but after entering the "information age", the whole industry's upstream and downstream links and supply chain links were all opened up.

In Du Yuzhou's view, whether it is product development or information process, the application of scientific and technological innovation is the foundation of industrial upgrading, and also the main line of the current industrial upgrading. Any innovation can not be separated from technological support.

All this proves that technology and clothing industry are closely related and interconnected.
