As a clothing manufacturer, the way to make profits is simply "increase income" and "reduce expenditure ". In the high cost and overall low single price environment, improving efficiency is king, otherwise more orders just mean more overall loss!
How to make the clothing industry survive in the face of adversity?
Acquiring profits is the fundamental law for the sustainable survival of garment manufacturing enterprises.
As a garment manufacturer, the way to make profits is nothing more than "increase income" and "reduce expenditure".
In the environment of high cost and low order price, how to improve efficiency is the key, whether it is to "increase income" or "reduce expenditure", otherwise, more orders will only lead to more losses!
Improve efficiency = eliminate waste. Find the 10% waste and eliminate this waste, our efficiency will be 10% equal.
The basic method to understand waste and eliminate waste is lean production mode based on single piece flow. The GSD standard hours software is used to measure the increase of efficiency.
Even the best production model and the best measurement tools must be precipitated through process management and data management, and cured and upgraded with software systems. Operational process, process data, and systematization of results.
Recognise Waste
Labour without added value is waste! Eight wastes: waiting for waste, waste of transportation, waste of defective products, waste of action, waste of processing, waste of inventory, excessive manufacturing (early) waste and waste of management!
The root of waste: inventory is the source of all evils, and management inaction is the root cause of inventory! The improvement is not to increase the workload, but to eliminate waste!
What is lean production?
Whether it's hanging or pushing the box, whether it's sitting or standing, whether it's straight or U-shaped, whether it's a single piece of water or a small bag of water, just put the lean concept into it!
The core reason why lean production can improve efficiency is: pressure + IE method. We must face and interpret the pressure correctly, and there is pressure to have the motivation! Only by reducing the number of semi-finished products, there will be pressure between the pre-process and the post-process. It is also because the pressure on the semi-finished products of the production line has been reduced to a minimum, and all problems have surfaced on the surface, which naturally creates pressure on the cutting, warehouse, board room, procurement, business and other front-end departments. A post-pull production mode with production as the core and full assistance from various departments has been formed.
Key elements of lean production
To do lean production, the first goal is clear. Just for the company to survive, or to survive better. For employees, it means making more money in less time and having more time off. For managers, learning a more advanced management techniques and methods is the most important.
JIT (timely supply) and automatic stop line are two important pillars of lean production. Lean production requires all departments to take production as the center, follow up according to the requirements of the plan, and do a good job of the "waiter", but there are accidents. When the problem occurs, you must stop and find the problem and solve the problem!
The highest level of lean production is to achieve the target output on a daily basis. The most important prerequisite for achieving this goal is to balance production. People's ability is large and the process is difficult. It is necessary to allocate the process reasonably and balance in time so that people can do their best.
GSD standard working hours are the basic tools for balanced production. With standard working hours, you can understand the skill level of employees and determine the real time of each process. If the GSD standard time software system is not configured for a while, the IE staff should also perform stopwatch time measurement and camera time measurement.
Eliminating all kinds of waste is the most fundamental driving force and foundation for lean production!
