Blindly Follow Suit In Information Construction Of Enterprises

In the information age, more and more clothing enterprises realize the importance of information technology. The so-called enterprise informatization is a process of digitalization of all enterprises' actions, which focuses on technology and digitalization by technology. Whether the tens of billions of sales giants or tens of millions of industry rookies are trying to build their own information platform, they try to rely on the superior information platform to reduce production costs, shorten the reaction cycle or enhance the terminal control capability. Under the trend of information platform becoming the core resource, how many garment enterprises have applied information technology? As an individual garment enterprise, how should we develop our own information technology? What is the role of information technology in apparel enterprises? A questionnaire survey was conducted on 100 garment enterprises to investigate the current situation of informatization construction.

　　 Service enterprises Demand for information technology continues to grow.

Informatization construction is a long-term strategic investment. It needs not only oral attention and attention, but also the real input of enterprises, so as to ensure the achievement of informatization construction. Foreign enterprises' informatization input usually reaches at least. Sale Over 2% of the total, leading enterprises even reach 5%-10%. Then, what is the information input situation of domestic garment enterprises?

Of the garment enterprises surveyed by questionnaire, 60% of garment enterprises have used information technology. We all know that before the advent of information technology, the whole upper and lower reaches of the textile and garment industry are "faulted". The so-called industry speed and efficiency can not be realized at all. But after entering the "information age", the whole industry's upstream and downstream links and supply chain links have been cleared up. "Information" means to analyze the most valuable information from the most complicated market data and connect them to form a precise data feedback to the textile and garment enterprises. According to the content of the information system analysis, the top executives can plan for the pre season sales, gross profit and stock planning, and mid season category planning. Price A series of problems such as the management, the sales promotion and clearance business at the end of the season will be more accurately planned.

For example, in recent years, in order to ensure the leading edge in the industry, catch up with the international giants, the "Min faction flagship" enterprises such as the seven wolves and Anta have been pushing the information field, and spend a lot of money to purchase the information software system. Zhou Shaoxiong, chairman of the seven wolf industrial Limited by Share Ltd, once said that informatization changed the operation mode. If there is no integrated retail platform, there is no way to support the rapid change of the market. Only by implementing information technology can we integrate all the effective elements, and quickly analyze the factors that affect the clothing sales, including the recent sales trend and future demand forecast, so as to adjust the seasonal and future category structure, and ultimately improve sales volume and customer satisfaction.

All these phenomena indicate that the demand for information construction is constantly increasing.

Solving practical problems for enterprises

Management problems are usually like icebergs under the surface of the water. However, with the opportunity of information system, many enterprises find the seriousness of the problem. In fact, enterprises first need to standardize management, start with business logic and effective monitoring, and straighten out the internal process. The establishment of a unified data standard, so that we can do a solid job in the basic work of information technology. In some ERP, PDM and other software, it includes the best practices of the industry: purchase, sale, return, ordering, finance, customer management and other standardized processes. Enterprises can draw on their management ideas, clarify problems and standardize processes. These information advantages eventually turn to capital advantage. compete Advantages lay the foundation for the development of enterprises. What application systems do these enterprises use in the clothing enterprises surveyed by questionnaires?

Data show that the popularity of the information system of clothing enterprises has been greatly improved, especially the popularity of CAD/CAM enterprises is more than 50%. According to the development trend of information technology, 13.33% of the surveyed garment enterprises have implemented the digital garment enterprise information management system (PDM) and supply chain (SCM) system. This shows that garment enterprises pay more attention to building an information support platform for rapid reaction system. The popularity of digital process planning system (CAPP) and digital garment enterprise electronic commerce system (QR) is more than 20%, or will be the next hot spot of information construction.

According to the findings of this survey, 23.33% of garment enterprises are still right. information There is no investment in the software and hardware of the construction. On the whole, although garment enterprises have increased investment in information technology than before, clothing enterprises must increase capital investment to make technological innovation and create competitive power with high efficiency information platform.

A lean, dedicated and skill based information team can not only solve many problems in the operation of enterprises, improve the operational efficiency of garment enterprises, but also become information officers of high level decision making, and provide data basis for higher level through data mining, computer Kanban and other tools. A survey was made on whether clothing enterprises should build information departments and information construction for enterprises.

Survey shows that more than 70% of clothing enterprises are fully aware of this. information The impact of technical personnel training on information work, 40% of the surveyed enterprises have trained specialized digital technicians, 30% of the surveyed enterprises are preparing to train relevant personnel, but 23.33% of the surveyed enterprises have not yet realized the importance of information technology personnel. This shows that although most garment enterprises already have an information team, there are also common problems such as the diversity of organizational structure, the changing demand for information, and the shortage of qualified information technology personnel.

The survey shows that 40% of garment enterprises are very concerned about the input of styling design and development, and 20% of garment enterprises are interested in auxiliary production technology. This shows that clothing is the core of the process. labour In intensive industries, informatization plays an important role in efficiency, which can not only cope with complex production operations, but also meet the increasingly scattered competition requirements of business sites.

The survey shows that more than half of the enterprises have already realized that the application of clothing digital technology has greatly improved the market resilience of enterprises, improved product quality and reduced production costs.

Choose your own information system.

As a traditional clothing enterprise, how should we develop our own information technology? According to the actual situation of clothing enterprises, what kind of information system should be built depends on the overall strategic positioning, business characteristics and sales mode of the enterprises.

At present, in the clothing enterprises which mainly rely on independent manufacturing and production management, the first thing to think about these information systems is to improve the design efficiency, including computer aided design (CAD), computer aided manufacturing (CAM), product data management, etc. For example, Shanshan and YOUNGOR launched computer aided design (CAD) and digital garment process planning system (CAPP) in the 90s of last century to improve the efficiency of garment manufacturing.

Such enterprises also attach more importance to production and planning management. Ordos developed its own production management system and yarn library management system in 2000, and started the process management system in 2001 in the two knitting factory. Sales management system was established in various subsidiaries in 2002. Shan Shan and YOUNGOR are basically the same way of thinking.

Another kind of brand management oriented enterprises, most of the production links or outsourcing, forming a virtual supply chain. Such enterprises generally focus on information system construction in collecting inventory and sales data of sales channels, so as to ensure quick replenishment in the selling season, and flexibly adjust prices and promote sales according to market conditions. Such enterprises generally invest less in internal production planning management. Metersbonwe uses its own development system to separate orders from the terminal into material orders according to the bill of material, and place orders to the garment factories or accessories suppliers upstream.

These examples also remind business managers that the value return of any system is closely related to the practice of enterprises, and that technology alone does not necessarily meet the needs of the enterprise. Only with the principle of "practical, applicable and easy to use", at the same time, considering both systematicness and expansibility, we can constantly optimize the hardware configuration, software development, system construction and other aspects. The problem of software execution can be comprehensively solved so that enterprises can develop healthily. Which system does an enterprise first go to and which system will depend not only on the trend of its peers, but also on its own strategy and management level, and information input needs long-term planning.
