Mid-20th century, the garment industry has experienced product output and product quality to the production costs of competition, entering the 21st century, the apparel industry competition in the market has changed into the clothing business-to-market responsiveness, clothing brands and clothing enterprises in technological innovation capability Competition. The development of information technology can fit the pace of the times, clothing enterprises have become an important pillar of success.
More than 2,000 years, the "Silk Road" has opened the curtain on China's clothing exports, more than 2,000 years later, China has an annual output of 10 billion garments, grasp the global apparel industry more than 60 percent of the total market share, is not folding No deduction of the "big country clothing." Garment industry as "never decline of the industry", and people's daily lives very close to, market demand has not stopped every time, with extremely broad prospects for development. With the end of the 20th century and the 21st century, the rapid development of information technology, modern society has entered the information-based industrialization, thereby promoting the businesses have gone on the broad road of information management, especially in garment industry.
In Western developed countries, automated management system and intelligent decision support and e-commerce has a very wide range of applications, information management software development and application of already very mature. Some of the apparel industry have long known enterprises in the ERP on the basis of building an advanced logistics supply chain management, business intelligence, comprehensive budget management and a series of more advanced information management systems, and China in this regard has a relatively large Gap. According to statistics, China's largest garment enterprises compared to the financial software, CAD design software, ERP software applications have been relatively common, but it is not sufficient to cope with today's fierce market competition. For large enterprises, garment manufacturing, procurement, production, distribution and other processes of supply chain management and logistics have increasingly relied on large and growing demands, the only enterprise ERP system has been unable to meet the development and competitiveness of enterprisesÐèÒª. Therefore, China's garment enterprises are chosen on their own development path.
According to the National Clothing Technology Information Center forecast, with the government on state-owned large and medium-sized enterprises to promote the information technology, especially after the accession to the WTO, China's garment industry compared to the level of information before a big upgrade. In response to global challenges, China's garment enterprises to further reduce its operating costs, the only way to ensure that "Made in China" in the low-priced on the basis of quality improvement. And how to reduce operating costs? » Some foreign agencies to clear the way out for us. Comprehensive analysis, a commodity in the whole supply chain system, non-production costs had exceeded 80 percent. Among them, the logistics of goods accounted for more than 40 percent of the cost, time costs account for the entire supply chain of more than 90 percent. Clearly, the logistics supply chain has become China's garment enterprises the best way out!
Most of the clothing enterprises in China are labor-intensive enterprises, is still relatively low degree of automation, information technology to the garment industry has brought the realization of the great difficulty. The apparel company's business processes are extremely complex, cumbersome, many garment enterprises need to handle thousands of daily stock units, and to manage the numerous styles, structure, customer identification and even more data. In this highly complex operation and management, to accurate forecast, procurement management, production planning and distribution management features for supply chain management becomes particularly important.
China's largest logistics supply chain management software provider Brocade Information Officer Shen Kang said: "A strong business to do bigger, brand-building is very important. Although in recent years China's own-brand clothing industry enterprises gradually more, but Western developed countries of clothing manufacturers have a relatively big gap between the clothing business of its brands, four factors are essential: price, product quality, marketing and channels. These four factors, most of the first three garment enterprises Have a little problem, and the final channel management will need the support of information technology, especially supply chain management. Channels for clothing enterprises operating, procurement and inventory control is very important. Supply chain management can effectively reduce the one hand, stores broken code In short supply, the other branch offices and factories and warehouses such as a backlog of inventory in the mountains there. Practice has proved that the market demand and the effective control of the supply chain can help companies streamline the complexity of monitoring cash flow, to avoid excessive expansion And underemployment, then get a high return on assets. "
Today, in response to fierce market competition, clothing enterprises to reduce the production costs of almost reached the limit, the logistics supply chain optimization and refinement of a new enterprise as a way out. More importantly, the logistics supply chain optimization and refinement, and not just a efficiency and cost associated with the topic of those who wish to accelerate our market reaction speed, better meet customer needs for companies to choose Suitable supply chain, is equivalent to choose a new growth opportunities. "Never decline of the industry" for the future, only the help of the logistics supply chain management software, the back-end enterprise and its suppliers, customers front of the organic link together to form a complete supply chain recast industry brilliant.
