1. Use project management to guide order management.

Take every production as a project, and strengthen the management of cost, quality and construction period. The formation and end of production orders are regarded as the beginning and end of the project, the end of the order and the end of the project. Through the management of this project guidance mode, the order is guaranteed to be completed on time.

2. Strengthen the forecast of production orders.

Strengthen communication with customers, forecast and analyze the orders of key customers, and establish a monthly, quarterly and even annual analysis and forecast system within the enterprise to ensure the timely procurement and storage of raw materials and long-term purchased materials. When necessary, we can make some strategic upfront investments to meet the needs of customers. By strengthening communication with suppliers, the production capacity of suppliers is reasonably evaluated.

Second, optimize the production plan

1, formulation of project plan

After the product order is issued, the relevant departments will organize the project kick-off meeting, define the time nodes of each link, determine the delivery results of each link, and predict the existing risk points. For each order, the time, schedule, responsible person and delivery result should be clear. As the core of all production, the formulation and improvement of the project master plan.

2. Material demand plan

The purchasing department subdivides the purchasing plan according to the material demand time node determined by the project master plan, and formulates the corresponding material demand plan to ensure that the raw materials and parts needed for garment production and processing arrive at the production workshop on time. In addition, the purchasing department should clearly divide the purchased materials and make arrangements according to the procurement cycle, safety inventory and optimal ordering point of the materials.

3. Formulation of production plan

Under the guidance of the project plan, subdivide the production operation plan. According to the production process, the key links such as design, cloth distribution, cutting, ironing and packaging are defined. In terms of personnel allocation, reasonable allocation is made according to the requirements of production plan. Due to the variety and high requirements of a single small batch of products, product changes often occur. The production planning department should grasp the special situation, change the plan in time and allocate resources reasonably.

4. Introduce advanced planning tools.

Strengthen the study and application of project management tools, introduce project planning management mode, and use planning tools to strengthen the scientificity of planning.

Third, innovate the production management mode.

1, group management

The characteristics of single piece and small batch production mode determine that the key of this production mode lies in the control of key processes, including the capacity analysis of key processes and the formulation of production plans. The production management department needs to carry out detailed class grouping according to the variety of clothing products, the functional characteristics of equipment and the ability of personnel, so as to realize inter-group competition and improve efficiency. At the same time, the key function of universality (quality inspection) is managed horizontally.

2. Flexible configuration of production personnel

Flexible deployment of production personnel in similar production posts, on the one hand, prevents the shortage of personnel from causing capacity bottleneck, on the other hand, trains production personnel through diversified rotation of similar jobs, and trains a versatile talent on the basis of doing a good job in professional posts, so that production personnel can become comprehensive and compound talents.

3. Flexible production mode

For clothing manufacturers, flexible production refers to the general use of plastic units or modular structures, which can be assembled at will, or have compatibility and produce products in small batches. In addition, flexible production requires not only the variability of equipment and instruments, but also the flexibility of people and software working in the system, that is, the overall variability.

4. Reduce the transportation time of materials

To improve the production efficiency of single small batch products, it is one aspect to improve the work efficiency of workers, and it is also very important to strengthen the circulation speed of products in each process. Through the reasonable process layout of the production workshop, the distance between machines is shortened and the circulation time of products between processes is reduced. In addition, through the implementation of total quality management, the quality awareness of production personnel has been improved, the frequency of quality problems has been reduced, and the time for rectification of quality problems has been reduced.

Fourth, control the production cost reasonably.

1. Optimize product design scheme

At the beginning of the project, organize the employees in the design, technology and production departments to input the scheme. In the product design stage, strengthen the process intensity audit, optimize the design scheme through process design, and reduce the production cost. The value engineering method is adopted in the design concept, and the concurrent engineering method is adopted in the operation method to ensure the feasibility of the design scheme and process scheme.

2, strict procurement cost accounting.

Through the full implementation of the supplier system, the supplier survival of the fittest mechanism is established to reduce the procurement cost. In addition, strengthen the training of purchasing personnel, strictly control key links such as cost accounting and price negotiation, and know the changing trend of raw material prices needed for product manufacturing like the back of your hand. The process department calculates the man-hour quota in the process of product manufacturing and strictly controls the cost.

3. Strengthen quality cost control.

Quality cost includes internal cost and external cost, including preventive expenditure, evaluative expenditure and remedial expenditure. Establish a quality cost accounting system, analyze and weigh these three costs, and prevent quality, cost and delivery time from being uncoordinated in pursuit of delivery time without considering the improvement of product quality.
