Practice content and process:
2010-6-29 - Visited Dandong Xinlongtai Garment Industrial Co., Ltd.
1. Understand the overview of the garment factory.
When the car arrived at the gate of the factory, I could understand the strictness of the company's management system just from the management of the guard.
Under the leadership of the person in charge, we visited the factory according to the steps of the clothing production process. Due to the location and privacy issues of the company's model room, we visited the production line directly. The batch of goods being produced is a sample processing, and the brand produced is the polo casual T-shirt with which it has been cooperating. Polo is a pure American-style high fashion. This sportswear brand inspired by polo sports has now become a world-renowned casual sportswear brand. Designer Ralph Lauren injects a familiar American romantic color into Polo's design styles. He is good at using a variety of exciting colors to combine, and emphasizes the use of comfortable fabrics to give the wearer a sense of personal comfort. Feel. American style based on authenticity Ralph Lauren, a designer who ‘made American style become real values ??in his hands’. In the 1970s, I was a salesperson who did not have a degree in design. I accidentally got an opportunity and boldly launched a series of 4-5 inch wide ties. This not only caused a shock to the fashion at that time, but also laid a solid foundation. . In RALPH LAUREN's clothing kingdom, from men's clothing, women's clothing, children's clothing, sportswear, to home accessories, you can smell a free and comfortable American atmosphere everywhere, and all design details are based on a value that will not be eliminated by time. .
Ralph Lauren has been focusing on shaping the "American style" that combines the western pioneer, Indian culture, and old Hollywood feelings. Ralph Lauren has been named a designer who represents "American classics" by magazines and media. In addition to clothing, Palph Lauren's leather jewelry and various accessories are very complete, from head to toe, including glasses, jewelry, bags, belts, socks, shoes...etc., they all focus on a 'lifestyle', he Ahead of the trends, but not too trendy, with a sense of affluent middle-class American taste. Ralph Lauren began to develop the Home Collection before the 1990s. The blue and white plaid cotton sheets with a solid feel, cups and plates with small floral prints, and silver knives and forks are full of the leisurely atmosphere of the southern American manor, which makes people yearn for it. However, many people often recognize the POLO series, but they don’t know that its designer is Ralph Lauren; ‘POLO Polo’ is the first series of men’s clothing designed by Lauren, hoping to remind people of the leisurely life of the aristocratic class. Ralph Lauren also has several main and subsidiary brands, including 'Ralph Ralph Lauren, which is timeless, textured, gorgeous and comfortable', 'POLO RALPH LAUREN, designed for successful urban men who pay attention to personal style', and 'POLO, which perfectly interprets American cowboy style. JEANS COMPANY', and 'POLO SPORT, the sports style of the new casual era'.
During the visit to the production line, I carefully observed the company's performance in details. Workers who are about the same age as us wear uniform work clothes and operate the machines skillfully. The factory divides these workers into several assembly lines, with nearly 30 people in each assembly line. They are responsible for different sizes and colors. A process chart is posted in a conspicuous position on a prompt board next to each assembly line, which clearly stipulates the team leader and team members, as well as the color and size of the day's processing, as well as the shrinkage rate of the fabric. Each worker has his or her own division of labor, which is also clearly marked on the process schedule. But it is worth noting that the company does not strictly require workers to achieve a certain amount of production per hour or day. The slightly encouraging goal is 400 pieces. Moreover, we learned from the person in charge of the company that the company implements SDP management process, manages employees in a more humane and systematic manner, and does not allow punishment of employees. Under the leadership of the person in charge, we then visited the next factory building, which mainly involves detailed positions, including the material preparation area, cutting area, layout area, and embroidery area. We mainly visited the embroidery area and the special machines inside. Each embroidery machine has professional staff and corresponding female workers. Professionals are responsible for the operation, because clothes of different sizes need to adjust the size of the embroidery traces, and clothes of different materials need to adjust the size of the needle, which is mainly divided into No. 6 and No. 7. Each embroidery machine can produce 16 products at one time, or one of them can be used alone. The female workers are responsible for cleaning the stains on the machine table and removing the padding from the back of the embroidered clothes.
2. Understand the status of the production department.
We then entered the QC inspection area, where there are also areas for washing and drying. In this large area, I realized the true meaning of a sentence, which is - quality is the life of an enterprise. On the public notice board in the inspection area, we saw three green, yellow and red signs juxtaposed from a distance. After closer inspection, the meanings were noted. This publicity board is the yield board. As I mentioned above, the company does not strictly require employees to achieve any output, but here it clearly states the yield rate of clothing produced by a production line in one day. Green represents the yield rate between 98% and 100, yellow represents between 95% and 97%, and red represents below 94%. Behind each stall is the name of the production line team leader who has met the standard, which psychologically motivates employees to pay more attention to clothing quality.
Then we learned about the washing and drying process. In the traditional impression, the washing process is for pre-shrinking, but the difference between this process and pre-shrinking is that it is washing the finished clothes, which is obviously not the purpose of pre-shrinking. It is understood that this process is mainly to remove the starch from the finished clothes and make them softer. Each machine can wash 200 pieces of clothes at one time and takes 30 minutes. The same is true for the drying machine.
After learning about the entire production line, my original impression of clothing production was shattered. In my impression, each worker has to complete a complete set of clothing processes, and only needs to sew, package and pursue output.
However, after observation, I saw that each female worker was only responsible for one process, which allowed the proficiency to be significantly improved. Moreover, after production, there will be strict inspection procedures to achieve a high level of qualification rate. Moreover, each department seems to be independent, but in fact it is interconnected and requires everyone's cooperation to create high-quality products.
Finally, we visited the technical room. Here, we got to know the advanced super-large printer, which is connected to the computer. Its main application software is rendering CAD, pattern CAD, scaling CAD, and layout. Material CAD, etc. Print directly after typesetting on the computer, and then transfer it to cardboard, replacing the traditional tedious manual drawing process and improving efficiency and accuracy.
2010-6-30——Visit Ruiwo Garment Co., Ltd.
1. Understand the overview of the garment factory.
Although Ruiwo Company does not have as complete a management system as Xinlongtai Company, it has given me great confidence in my country's garment industry.
The development experience of Ruiwo Garment Co., Ltd. can be said to be a legend. In the early 1980s, it was just a small workshop with more than a dozen people. It mainly made trademarks for others and processed the uppers of old-fashioned Jiefang shoes. When the company was restructured in 2000, it seized the opportunity in time and became a private enterprise with tens of millions of assets. What I want to mention here is that the reason why this company has become a famous enterprise in Dandong and even the province is not only the excellent product quality, but also the company boss’s well-known character and talent-focused management style. The company's current location is the former gas meter factory. After bankruptcy, Revol bought it for 5.15 million to build the current factory. Among the existing 800 employees, nearly 400 are laid-off workers from the original factory, which greatly solves the problem of laid-off local workers. Reemployment issues. Moreover, the factory is an export-processing enterprise that sells free brands. Due to its responsible and good reputation, there is a steady flow of orders.
During the visit, I asked some workers some questions, mainly about working hours and wages and their opinions on the management system. Although a 10-hour working day is implemented here, the company's treatment is good and it is considerate of local workers' holiday customs and will give workers appropriate days off. This management system makes workers satisfied.
In a conversation with Responsible, we asked about the current hot topic - the difficulty in finding a job for college students. The answer given by Responsibility is unexpected. Nowadays, it is difficult for college students to find employment, not only because there are few jobs, but more importantly because college students themselves think that they have a special status, have high ambitions and low abilities, do not have strong skills, and cannot lower their stature, which makes it even more difficult to find employment. Factories are in urgent need of professional talents. These are two contradictions in employment today.
2. Understand the status of the production department.
The production department and technical department are not much different from the Xinlongtai Company we visited yesterday, so we will not repeat them here. Fortunately, when we visited the model room today, the workers were cutting a batch of garments. The thick pile of fabrics is said to have 60 layers. Many students were worried that they would waste the fabric if they made a mistake, but the worker told us that he had already Been doing this job for over 8 years. This made us realize that when we usually complain that the machine is difficult to step on, it is actually because we don’t really practice hard.
