Apparel Industry To Inventory: Optimizing Supply Chain As An Effective Mode

Nowadays, clothing enterprises in China generally have high inventory level. In order to reduce inventory, garment enterprises actively seek effective ways.

According to the insiders, the mode of fixed production can not achieve the purpose of lowering inventory. Optimizing the supply chain is the effective way to reduce inventory.

Inventory problem

At present, the increase of inventory and turnover days has become a common problem in the entire textile and garment industry.

Reporters learned that clothing companies in the past adopted the order system, and clothing in late summer and early autumn probably started in spring last year.

Under the development of this supply chain, the homogenization of products is rising, and the price of goods has increased.

When a product is sold well, the output will increase in the rear, but subsequent sales may lag behind, which will increase the inventory.

In fact, the clothing brand to some extent is not a high performance, but to go to inventory capacity.

Who will first clean up inventory to a reasonable level, so that the channel to restore vitality, who can be the first recovery in this low tide.

In an interview with the media, the responsible person of the 31st Degree International Limited has said that in view of the oversupply, controlling inventory is an important task for the company. Distributors and companies are cautious about issuing and accepting orders.

There are also many clothing enterprises to go inventory way is to stock down to the downstream sales channels, so that although clothing enterprises inventory decline, but the channel inventory increased.

In the absence of a marked improvement in industry demand,

The digestive capacity has not been improved, and the high storage problem remains unresolved.

The reporter understands that some textile and garment enterprises adopt the strategy of selling products to deal with high inventory.

According to the Convention, the inventory of a commodity is about 30% of the shop's volume. This will not lead to greater cost pressure, nor will there be a shortage of supply when the product is sold well.

Enterprises can use the electronic commerce channel to clear up the warehouse during the season change, or to the two sale of outlets.

However, in the actual operation, because of the different information asymmetry and profit distribution between suppliers and franchisees, inventory control problems often arise.

"If the supplier brand is very well known, then the stock pressure will be pferred to the franchisee, and the franchisee should digest its stock by itself.

If suppliers have strong dependence on franchisees, suppliers must digest their inventory by themselves.

But sometimes the information asymmetry between the two sides, the proportion of inventory and sales can not be properly controlled.
