Gaoyou City, Jiangsu Province: The Uprising of Textile and Apparel Industry Clusters

Since the beginning of this year, due to the downturn in foreign markets, textile and garment companies have experienced a reduction in orders. Coupled with the continuous rise in labor costs, many domestic textile companies have been in trouble. In a whisper, Gaoyou Garment Leading Enterprises still maintained a good momentum of development thanks to technological transformation and management innovation.

After the textile and garment industry of Gaoyou City entered the 1990s, the development speeded up significantly. By the end of 2010, there were nearly 500 companies of all types in the textile and clothing industry, accounting for 8% of the city's industrial enterprises; there were more than 45,000 employees, accounting for more than 26% of the city's industrial employees; in 2010, the output value of enterprises above designated size reached 12 billion yuan. Yuan, accounting for nearly 20% of the city's industry. The textile and apparel industry cluster has developed into an important pillar of Gaoyou Industry.

Technical reform breaks the labor cost problem The Gaoyou Shenyou Down Garment Co., Ltd. has risen against the backdrop of the severe situation in which clothing orders are low, labor costs have risen sharply, and exports have been blocked. Sales have increased by 50% for three consecutive years.

In the production shop of Shenyou, I saw a computer screen on the top of the sewing machine used by the mechanics, which looks very novel. According to Liu Shangbin, general manager of the company, compared with traditional sewing machines, this fully automatic computerized sewing machine is faster, and the average daily production per unit is 0.5 more than before. In one year, labor productivity is increased by more than 20%. .

Liu Quan revealed that Shenyou invested more than 5 million yuan last year, introduced a CAD system, reconstructed energy-saving lighting systems, intelligent anti-theft monitoring systems and computerized office systems, updated 750 fully automatic energy-saving direct drive computer sewing equipment, only equipment The update will save more than 100 workers. “Despite the huge investment in technological transformation, the company’s labor productivity has increased by 20%. Overall, the salaries of the workers have increased by 15%. I still have 5% of the space to resist the rising costs and the quality has also been improved. Why not? !” Liu Shangbin said the secret of his company’s robust growth.

The Gaoyou textile giant Yangzhou Yitai Textile Co., Ltd., also tasted the sweetness of technical reform. The party committee member of the company, Wang Jinrong, told the author that the company spent a large sum of 50 million yuan to import 28 Langwei spinning machines from India. This spinning machine is a computer-controlled fully automatic product that previously used 100 workers to manage the spinning machine. Only 17 people are needed now, and the quality is greatly improved. King ** said with a smile: "In the cotton yarn market, our products cost more than 3,000 yuan per ton for similar products, but customers are willing to pay for it because of our quality!"

He said that although many small and medium-sized enterprises in the same industry have closed their doors and some big companies are forced to cut production, Yitai has never stopped production due to no sales of products. This year, sales are expected to reach 308 million yuan, an increase of more than 50 million yuan over last year.

Management innovation to maintain the competitiveness of enterprises In the Gaoyou garment industry, Liu Shangbin was once ridiculed by the industry as "academic faction", many local land owners are dismissive of his "table", "process" and other terms. However, the reality is cruel. These land owners have fallen behind in management and are lagging behind. They have never been able to step out of the former Gaoyou model, and are therefore faced with the predicament of corporate losses.

Liu Shangbin told the author that the production mode of former Gaoyou textile and garment enterprises was “the boss raised the workers in the first half of the year and the workers raised the boss in the second half of the year”. This is because Gaoyou Garment Enterprises has long relied on export orders. In the first half of the year, it was the off-season, and the boss had workers. In the second half of the year, the boss season began to really earn money. However, this year's export orders are pitifully low. It is very urgent to reduce costs and improve labor productivity from management innovation.

Liu Shangbin believes that management is the delivery of effective forms.

In Shenyou, Liu Shangbin personally designed the company's quality control flow sheet and proposed the company's zero inventory and zero loss. A year later, he was pleased to find that in the past, for every 10,000 pieces of clothing produced, there were about 200 pieces of clothing, and now it has been controlled at about 20 pieces, and some products even have no one.

In the piece-rate wage system that is popular in garment enterprises in Guangdong and other places, Shenyou did not copy, but used a time-based wage system. Liu Shangbin told the author that this is because Gaoyou garment companies are mainly local workers and the income gap is too large, which will lead to instability in employment. In Shenyou, never working overtime or delaying work, the pace of production has been markedly accelerated. Liu Shangbin’s management innovation has finally received the approval of local landowners. Now there are several local companies that are willing to invite him to fully intervene and manage the entire process to achieve market breakthroughs.

Tao Yin, the person in charge of the Gaoyou Economic and Information Committee, disclosed to the author that Gaoyou apparel companies are also actively innovating while accelerating the construction of their own brands. For example, the design team of Shenyou can launch 600 styles of clothing each year, and Yitai’s newly created bamboo fiber clothing. Has gradually become the company's source of profit growth. Under the leadership of these leading companies, from January to September of this year, the city's textile and garment enterprises above designated size achieved an output value of 11 billion yuan. Gao You Municipal Party Committee Ding Yi said that the city will rely on the existing textile and garment industry base, accelerate the realization of the process from the generation of processing to independent management, from the OEM to the independent brand, from the creation of a famous city to create a famous city jump.
