"2019 is about to become a thing of the past, and it is an unforgettable year for all garment people, the international situation is changing, domestic new policies are frequent, workers are difficult to recruit, orders are deserted, and garment people are overwhelmed."
The end of the era of horse racing also means the end of the era of "grabbing heads" and "grabbing turf".
It took only 40 years for China to complete the path that the West took 300 years to complete, and now we are once again standing at a fork in the road of history, and this time we have a greater responsibility, because every step we take, the world follows.
This not only requires the country to assume a greater historical responsibility, but also requires that every Chinese can enlarge our own pattern and vision, and must not just stay in the traditional order, depressed and sluggish, people with hammers in their hands see everything as nails, and pessimistic people look at everything pessimistic. The same is true for businesses.
For service enterprises, with the continuous change of the fierce market competition environment, enterprises need to survive and develop, and they must make the products produced to meet the market demand, and high quality and low price. How can we produce high-quality, low-cost and competitive goods under the general trend of reform? It is the most important thing to use scientific methods to reduce production costs as much as possible.

Many service companies think that when it comes to cost, they think that it is the finance department or cost accounting, and many employees also think, "I am not the boss, and the cost has nothing to do with me"; "The things in the company (factory) don't have to be used in vain"; "What's in it for me to save costs?" ......
In fact, the reduction of enterprise costs requires everyone's participation.
First of all, as the decision-making level of the enterprise, it is necessary to have the concept of investment, which is the basic condition that determines and affects the formation of the cost of the enterprise;
The second is the engineering staff and management personnel of the enterprise, who affect the consumption level of product design and production costs;
The third is the employees of the supply and sales department of the enterprise, whose business activities affect the procurement cost of materials and materials and the level of product sales expenses. So, the cost is closely related to everyone.
Paying social security for employees is a must for enterprises, and training every employee, instilling a sense of conservation, and reducing personnel waste from the aspects of ideological change and system constraints, so as to reduce the production cost of enterprises, is also what most service companies urgently need to do.
Learn from mature companies to improve production efficiency and reduce costs
In any case, it is inevitable that high efficiency beats low efficiency. Many large leading enterprises are by creating a set of products and process standardization systems, so as to improve efficiency and reduce enterprise management costs.
Huawei's Ren Zhengfei has also said many times that we should pay attention to the system: people in an enterprise will flow and change, but processes and standards will remain in Huawei, and there must be a set of mechanisms, no matter who is managing the company, this mechanism will not change from person to person. But the process itself is dead, while the people who use it are alive and need the understanding of the process. It is the managers who know more about the process, and only they, not the grassroots personnel, know why the process is set up in this way.
As managers, we need to understand the composition of the system and the formulation of standards, so that we can create a system suitable for our own enterprises according to local conditions, so as to reduce costs and improve production efficiency.
Improve the employment structure, make good use of part-time jobs, outsourcing, etc. to reduce costs Small and medium-sized service enterprises need to learn from mature enterprises to improve the employment structure, for example, Decathlon has a mature employment structure, and relatively low labor costs
are one of the reasons why it continues to open stores in the context of the closure of physical stores in the retail industry.
Most of Decathlon's stores are between 1000~4000 square meters, and the number of full-time employees, including management, is only a dozen, security and cleaning are outsourced, they do not belong to Decathlon employees, and the number of part-time employees in the mall accounts for more than 60% of the total number of employees.
One of our customers is engaged in mid-to-high-end clothing customization, and his company used to be more than 70 people, but later he found that in fact, many businesses are outsourced at a lower cost. Now there are more than 10 people in the company, focusing on brand building, process research and development, online sales and business sales, and the rest are the integration of external resources outsourcing. The company's labor costs are now significantly reduced.
Intelligent manufacturing has become the core competitiveness of future service enterprises
Intelligence is now sweeping all walks of life around the world. The excess capacity of the garment industry is assembly line production, and the capacity of intelligent and flexible production is extremely scarce. In this case, the reform of the traditional garment production supply chain is imminent, and intelligent manufacturing flexible production will become the core competitiveness of the garment manufacturing industry!
The country has already put intelligent manufacturing on the agenda. The Ministry of Industry and Information Technology said that intelligent manufacturing is the main direction of the transformation and development of the manufacturing industry. Over the past few years, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology has vigorously promoted the automation, digitalization and intelligent transformation of the manufacturing industry, focusing on intelligent manufacturing, and has successively formulated the "Intelligent Manufacturing Engineering Implementation Guide" and "Intelligent Manufacturing Standard System Construction Guide", and carried out the pilot demonstration of intelligent manufacturing projects, new models of intelligent manufacturing and special standard platforms to promote the work, intelligent manufacturing in the textile and garment industry has been widely valued and actively responded to by the industry, and far-sighted service enterprises have initially formed a number of digital workshops and intelligent production lines.

Foxconn, who is as powerful as Foxconn, has already opened the road of intelligent transformation Foxconn is well-known to the public for foundry, but if you only regard Foxconn as a foundry, it is too naïve, today's Foxconn has long been a set of panel business, PC business, and industrial Internet in one of the technology giants, last year Foxconn's annual revenue was as high as 1 trillion yuan, more than Huawei, Alibaba, Tencent combined, becoming China's low-key technology giant.
For our small and medium-sized service enterprises, rejecting black technology is equivalent to directly cutting off the fate of the enterprise before intelligence.
