Clothing is the basic need of human warmth, and it is also one of the necessities of human fashion dress. The demand for clothing is endless all the time, so it also gives birth to many clothing factories.
However, with the arrival of the era of Industry 4.0, garment production enterprises are faced with development bottlenecks, backward production technology, mutual blame among departments, inaccurate data and other problems are increasingly prominent, which makes enterprises facing the problem of rising costs more anxious.
At present, the production management problems faced by garment enterprises are as follows:
1. Extensive production management
Clothing enterprises in the production process control and most small and medium-sized factories, is to stay in the task list and extensive management stage of the production plan is not fully achieve meticulous management of each section, working procedure, enterprise management can’t clearly grasp the specific production situation of manufacturing, so the lack of strong data to support management decisions.
At the same time, the department coordination efficiency is low, the Marketing Department can not grasp the production line production situation in time, thus reducing the accuracy of customer delivery commitment time. The material department can not timely understand the production site conditions, can only overstock or often occur emergency purchase behavior, resulting in the inventory increase or shutdown of the phenomenon of waiting for materials.
Moreover, the data required for production is complex and numerous, and the traditional card management adopted by garment production enterprises can no longer adapt to the dynamic demands of efficient production resource consumption, demand and reserve. The enterprise can not respond to the changes of various production plans in a timely and flexible manner, and can not reasonably formulate the production control that matches the production mode of the enterprise, which leads to the low production management ability and the production efficiency of the enterprise can not be improved.
2. Backward manual procurement
As raw materials of clothing, fabric and accessories are closely related to garment production, inventory and production plan. However, there are often many problems due to poor communication: the quantity of raw materials to be purchased cannot be timely and accurately understood, and the purchase plan lacking accurate basis leads to a large number of blind procurement and ineffective occupation of funds.
Material demand calculation is complex, and most garment enterprises still use manual processing, not only time-consuming and laborious, data will appear errors; The space for human participation is very large, and the arbitrariness is very strong. The “black hole” phenomenon is easy to appear in the procurement cost and control. Moreover, the procurement department, the storage department and the production department often have the phenomenon of process disconnection, which is easy to cause the situation of high inventory of materials and stop-work waiting for materials.
3. There are many problems in inventory management
Inventory is an important lever point for manufacturing enterprises to balance revenue. Due to upstream supply and downstream delayed goods, inventory management of clothing manufacturers has always been faced with such problems. Loading and unloading, mobile, inventory of material, feed production and other business process is complex and trivial, relying on traditional manual processing or individual departments of computer processing, not only waste a lot of manpower and material resources, time, and low accuracy, and blind procurement, make a lot of inventory backlog or shortage of the high cost.
In terms of surface accessories, compared with fabrics, surface auxiliary materials have a wide variety, because the different colors cause classification difficulties, resulting in a large number of side and corner waste back in the production process, easy to cause confusion in management and waste of materials, so the cost has been slow to fall. In addition, frequent warehouse entry and exit will also bring a lot of difficulties to inventory accounting, unable to accurately calculate and evaluate the existing inventory. As for the warehousing time of materials, due to the huge data, the time may be sooner or later, so it is impossible to fit the production needs. Material too early into the warehouse, resulting in a backlog of funds, turnover difficulties; Too late warehousing of materials will seriously affect production and delivery time, and even lead to the delay of payment collection.
4, sales management orders difficult
When the business sells products, the delivery date is generally agreed with the customer. However, due to the disconnection between sales and production in most enterprises, the sales person cannot grasp the progress of the order in the production process and cannot accurately reply to the customer when the customer tracks the delivery date, resulting in the customer’s distrust of the enterprise.
5. The sample management is blank
From the current transaction mode, the importance of clothing sample management is becoming increasingly obvious, but at present, China’s export-oriented clothing enterprises in the sample management is still a blank, or is still in the exploratory stage, there is no systematic management mode and system, resulting in some enterprises lost orders.
6. Self-produced and commissioned processing management
The production capacity of the general enterprise is limited, when the order is too much more than its own production capacity, it is necessary to commission external processing. Commissioned processing, which is also divided into process processing and finished product processing, needs to manage the delivery of finished materials, semi-finished products or finished products recovery, processing fee settlement, etc., the traditional manual management is not only difficult to grasp the real-time inventory of finished materials, but also easy to cause waste of finished materials.
7. Time-consuming labor and price management
Garment industry is a labor-intensive industry. Semi-finished products need to go through different processes and processes on the production line, and finally form finished products. Each process is different because of different processes, and the price of man-hour is also different, so it is necessary to calculate the labor cost of each team and individual in the production workshop. Adoption of traditional manual management, frequent manual records, it is difficult to ensure accuracy; At the same time, due to the lack of real-time production data, production progress can not be tracked, payroll statistics time-consuming and laborious.
In order to better meet the new era of industrial development, many garment production enterprises choose ERP, MES, low code platform and other digital management systems to improve the status quo. However, the traditional ERP, MES and other production management systems not only have a long construction period, but also high implementation costs, which are difficult for small and medium-sized garment production enterprises to bear.
Therefore, it is more recommended to reduce cost and increase efficiency, with the use, a high level of chiejia clothing production management needs of the low code platform. The low code messaging platform can also connect with existing platforms such as pin, enterprise WeChat and official account, as well as connect with systems such as ERP and MES, so as to realize the complete connection between the original platform and data. The synchronous uploading and sharing of production data can control the production status in real time, implement the production and delivery in a planned way, and empower the garment manufacturing enterprises.
