Industry Status: Taking Clothing Cutting as an Example
“Batch” is the pursuit of production in the industrial age. Garment factories like big orders. This is in line with the principle of economies of scale. Only a large number of individual orders can increase production efficiency, and raw material costs, management costs and service costs will also decrease. Nowadays, there are fewer and fewer big orders, and more and more orders in multiple styles and small batches. As a garment manufacturer, it is no longer meaningful to continue to pursue the quantity. How to adapt to the changes in the market?
I. The market environment has undergone tremendous changes.
The current market environment has undergone tremendous changes, manifested in two aspects,
1. Market demand is becoming more and more personalized. With the development of social economy and culture, consumers are moving towards personalized consumption.
2. Consumers are shifting from previous prices to value, especially the younger generation who have moved to society today. They are becoming the main consumers of the individual era, and quality and personality are the mainstream of their consumption.
These changes in the market have resulted in a continuous increase in the number of styles and small quantities of clothing orders.
The impact of the Internet on the consumer environment is also enormous. In the traditional clothing retail, due to the limited space of the store, the category of the clothing is unlikely to be too much, and the brand often only chooses the style and size suitable for most people. The online sales model has broken through the limitations of space, not only can display more product categories, but also break through the geographical limitations through the network, these factors have promoted the rapid development of personalized consumption.
Second, economies of scale have encountered bottlenecks in development, and personalized customization has brought new opportunities.
Economies of scale have two sides. On the one hand, large-scale production brings cost advantages to garment manufacturing, and it has great advantages in terms of price. On the other hand, the expanding production capacity has reached the limit, and the overproduction is very serious. The clothing inventory has been a The problem has not only eroded the profits of the industry but has even caused many enterprises to close down. At the same time, rising labor costs also make low-cost competition impossible, so higher value-added customized production is a new direction.
Customized transformation of the apparel industry not only can meet the individual needs of the consumer market, but also can effectively reduce product inventory, and can greatly increase its own profit margin. Another advantage is that it greatly increases the turnover rate of funds.
Traditional clothing companies sell their clothes to the warehouse and sell them slowly. It usually takes months or even a year to recover the funds. Customized products are usually delivered in a week or so, or even received. Re-production of goods, the turnover rate of funds is greatly improved, and the competitiveness of enterprises will certainly be higher.
Third, the problems and technical solutions of customized production
There are a lot of problems in customized production. The first thing that needs to be solved is the problem of fabric cutting.
Traditional manual cutting is suitable for high-volume cutting, but it cannot be adapted to custom cutting, because customized production will result in changes in the size and style of the layout, requiring repeated typesetting work, and not being able to cut in large quantities. This increases the workload, and the cutting workers often work overtime, but still cannot meet the timely delivery. Recruiting more tailoring workers is not a good option because of the shortage of cutting workers and the increasing cost of management.
