Clothing Quality And Safety &Nbsp; QA/QC Will Be Hard To Find

With the domestic garment industry " Quality safety door The frequent exposure of negative news has led garment manufacturers to encounter an unprecedented crisis of confidence, especially in foreign trade factories. Many foreign clothing manufacturers have been forced to pay attention to the quality of garment production because of foreign investors' tightening of import audit checkpoints for China's production of garments. Many export clothing manufacturers have to pay attention to the quality of garment production because of quality problems. Besides, the low price strategy of newly exported clothing exporting countries in Southeast Asia has also had a great impact on China's clothing export trade. High quality will become a winning weapon for China's clothing trade factories to compete in Southeast Asian countries. Therefore, domestic garment manufacturers have recruited QA, QC and other garment quality management talents.

However, due to the factory's position requirements for QA and QC, the work experience is mainly focused on the work experience, while the low education level QA and QC lack systematic training, and the professional foundation is not ideal. QA/QC will be hard to find. !

　　 Clothing manufacturers: customer requirements are getting higher and higher without quality assurance.

In recent days, the nineteenth network recruitment fair in Guangdong area, which was hosted by the Elite Tennis Union's elite network, ended at the end of the curtain. There are 40 companies participating in the online recruitment fair. The posts include men and women designers, merchandisers, market development managers, sales supervisors, tail supervisors, clothing QC and so on 167 posts. In many posts released by enterprises, the number of Posts related to garment quality management has been significantly improved.

A senior manager of a domestic clothing brand who does not want to reveal his name reveals that with the exposure of "brand casual pants quality door" and "plasticizer event for children's clothing", the board of directors of the company regards product quality management as the focus of next quarter's production. Because the harm of quality and safety to brand is fatal, it will make consumers have a crisis of confidence in all products of the brand, and how much advertising fees can not be remedied. The board of directors of the company decided to prepare for the rainy day and pay close attention to quality management. In the second half of the year, the recruitment of employees should be increased and the professional requirements for recruiters should be enhanced.

He also said that Garment quality management It has always been the soft rib of the major brand clothing. Most of the domestic clothing brands rely on advertising and marketing to make a living. The huge advertising expenses cause the garment manufacturers to cut down the production cost desperately. In the fabric selection and production process, they can use low-priced goods to never consider better quality high-grade fabrics and save one working procedure. Under such circumstances, even some manufacturers have not set up quality management departments. During this period, the frequent exposure of quality gate events, although the clothing industry has entered an unprecedented quality and safety "cold winter", has also given the attention to manufacturers who only care about sales volume and do not care about the quality, and has a positive role in promoting the unhealthy production atmosphere in the clothing industry.

Reporters also visited a foreign trade processing factory in Qingdao, a major European and American export garment manufacturer. Manufacturers told reporters that clothing trade has become increasingly difficult. Due to the exposure of "quality gate events" such as Zara in China, more and more export orders and return orders have been made recently. Many European and American customers are shaking their heads when they hear that they are "MadeinChina". Even those who have worked together for several years have suspended the contract to seek cooperation with other countries such as India and Vietnam. And the demand is getting higher and higher. In the last quarter, the amount of return has broken through the historical record since the plant was built. "Originally exported to European clothing is more stringent than the quality of domestic sales clothing. Now the demand of European and American customers is getting higher and higher. Dozens of manufacturers who have done business together with foreign trade have only a few set up quality management departments. Now everyone has started recruiting QA and QC, and European and American customers have said that there is no quality guarantee. There is a quality problem. It's harder to continue to cooperate next time. Foreigners value the integrity of enterprises. "

　 Southeast Asian countries "low price strategy" to copy Chinese clothing exports, high quality has become the "MadeinChina" winning magic weapon.

According to foreign media recently, Vietnam's textile exports amounted to US $6 billion 160 million in the first half of this year, an increase of 30% over the same period last year. If this trend continues, Vietnam's clothing and textile sector is likely to complete its export target of 13 billion US dollars in 2011. China's textile and clothing exports this year show a downward trend.

Ms. Hu, director of the clothing department of the China Textiles Import and Export Chamber of Commerce, said that under the background of the financial crisis, China's textile exports to major countries are still growing, but this year there has been a downward trend, while exports from Southeast Asian countries are growing. "In the past, 6 of the 10 garments in the US clothing market were made in China, and now only two or three." According to 1~4 statistics this year, the number of textiles imported from China for the first time dropped by three to five percentage points, mainly due to domestic cost factors.

Ms. Hu analyzed that China's textile and apparel industry has a high market share in foreign markets, mainly relying on price advantage. This year, the average price of Chinese textiles is higher than that of the United States imported from the world. At the same time, the consumers in the United States are more mature, and tend to choose inexpensive, quality and good clothing, so that the order is bound to shift. "Other Southeast Asian countries also have high raw materials, but labor costs are not as high as those in China, such as Vietnam, where labor costs are only about half of that of China, reaching 5:3, so orders will go to low price countries and regions. Although there are still some technical advantages in the relatively complicated Chinese clothing, the order has been transferred from China. " If the industry chain of other countries is perfect, it will be very difficult for orders to return to China.

Qian Jingfang, director of the Department of textile economics and trade of Donghua University, thinks that compared with other Southeast Asian countries, the competitive advantage of Chinese textile enterprises lies in the relatively high quality of Chinese labor force, skilled workers, stable domestic political situation, and perfect industrial chain and rich management experience.

Engaged in foreign trade clothing factory Merchandiser Mr. Wang of the work said that in the past few years, when negotiating with foreign customers, they all had a strong reputation. Our factories had been praised for their low price and good quality. But in recent years, many customers have been lost, because compared to the "shortage of labor" in China's clothing industry, the cost of employing workers has increased again and again, while the cost of hiring workers in Southeast Asia, Indonesia, Bangladesh and other Southeast Asian countries is less than 1/2 of China's average. Moreover, the negative reports of quality and safety in the domestic textile and garment industry have also discouraged many foreign customers from thinking that "the clothes made in China may be harmful to the body". This is a very big "trouble" in foreign countries with strong awareness of consumer rights protection.

To sum up, China as a " World garment factory "The pattern is changing. How to deal with the low price strategy of Southeast Asian countries? China's foreign trade garment manufacturers should change their traditional low price dumping strategy and pay close attention to the quality of clothing. In the process of garment production, a perfect quality management system must be launched.
