The outbreak of the new crown pneumonia has a major impact on the global economy, and the footwear industry is also facing a great challenge. The interruption of raw materials caused a series of chain effects: the factory was forced to shut down, the order could not be delivered smoothly, the customer turnover and the difficulty of capital withdrawal were further highlighted. In such a severe winter, how to solve the supply chain problem? How to further optimize the supply chain has become the trend of shoe industry development.
Market demand, new technological revolution and upgrading of industries raise higher requirements for the supply chain.
Since the reform and opening up, China’s footwear industry has developed rapidly, and has become the largest footwear production and export country in the world. It has a professional division of labor and a complete and complete shoe industry system. However, with the upgrading of consumption, technological revolution, industrial revolution and commercial revolution, new models, new formats and new demands emerge in an endless stream. Chinese shoe enterprises are facing unprecedented pressure and challenges. On the one hand is the goal of industrial internationalization and market globalization. On the other hand, the traditional footwear industry is facing severe tests. Labor costs, rental costs and tax costs continue to rise. Coupled with the changing market demand, enterprises are required to produce and deliver orders more quickly and efficiently, and put forward higher requirements for the shoe supply chain system.
Building an efficient supply chain is imminent.
Christophe, a British economist, puts forward that “there is no competition between an enterprise and another enterprise in the future, and there is competition between a supply chain and another supply chain”.
In October 18, 2017, President Xi Jinping put the “modern supply chain” into the report for the first time in the “Nineteen big” report, raising the modern supply chain to the height of national strategy, which has a milestone in the development of modern supply chain in China, and provides a sufficient policy basis for accelerating the innovation and development of China’s modern supply chain.
In fact, as early as the end of 2016 to mid 2017, the government departments began to take action on supply chain work. From August 2017 to March 1, 2019, only 19 months later, the ministries and commissions of the country issued 6 major documents on logistics and supply chain, which is rare. The government has been busy after the announcement of the industry, especially the “pilot cities for innovation and application of supply chain”. In August 16, 2017, the Ministry of Commerce and the Ministry of Finance jointly issued the notice on developing the supply chain system; in October 5, 2017, the general office of the State Council issued the “guiding opinions on actively promoting the innovation and application of supply chain”; in April 17, 2018, the 8 departments such as the Ministry of Commerce issued the notice on the pilot of supply chain innovation and application.
For shoe companies, building a high quality supply chain for footwear industry, especially cross regional, cross departmental collaborative communication and landing execution, linking key links such as raw materials, research and development, design, production, circulation, consumption and so on, and establishing a demand oriented organization mode, upgrading quality, reducing costs and increasing efficiency will be a good way to deal with the changes in the times and enhance core competitiveness.
The footwear industry urgently needs supply chain service platform to jointly promote supply chain optimization.
The supply chain of shoe industry has changed from original scale to rough management to rapid response and meticulous management. For big shoe companies, building an efficient, agile and intelligent supply chain system is obviously not realistic. It requires new technologies, new systems, new partners, and new service standards. Therefore, relying on the supply chain service platform with strong integration capability and high efficiency, it is the first step for enterprises to reduce the production and operation cost and the transaction cost by connecting the internal and external resources of the industry chain and optimizing the supply chain.
The new federation shoes industry chain is rooted in the long history of shoes culture, and the shoe industry has a solid foundation. It has the reputation of “Wenzhou shoes capital”. Therefore, it has a better footwear production base and manufacturing advantages. It takes shoes Netcom and shoes trading port as the base of the two shoe supply chain trading platform. It integrates the upstream and downstream resources of the supply chain, integrates R & D, fashion trend research, footwear design, manufacturing, brand building, live broadcast sales, financial services and other resource platforms.
The first China footwear industry international supply chain conference will gather strength to boost supply chain optimization and development.
In order to further enhance the resource concentration and overall profitability of the footwear industry, SMEs in the collaborative chain should jointly build a new ecosystem of shoe industry to boost the transformation and upgrading of shoe enterprises and create new development. The first China footwear industry international supply chain conference should be born. Recently, the new federation shoe industry chain is in the process of preparation. It is reported that the General Assembly will be held in May (due to the temporary impact of the epidemic), focusing on the four key points of “industry + Design + technology + finance”, with the global shoe supply chain trading center as a platform to link up the upstream and downstream of the supply chain, integrate the resources of the global footwear industry, and boost the supply chain development of shoe enterprises through technology and financial empowerment.
