Under the background of “ Made in China 2025â€, apparel manufacturers are looking for a professional upgrade path. In the face of opportunities and challenges, how should companies shift from large-scale manufacturing to lean and efficient production methods?
Recently, at the 2016 Xiamen International Fashion Forum, Francoise Replumaz, senior manager of Lectra Fashion and Apparel Global Markets, talked about technology-driven and intelligent manufacturing , helping Chinese companies accelerate product development, increase the value of design and manufacturing, and proposed Lectra's Chinese clothing. The strategic vision of the manufacturing industry.
When China's manufacturing industry is upgraded
“Today China is facing a new development pattern.†Francoise Replumaz interprets the development environment facing Chinese companies.
She believes that the garment manufacturing industry has been driving the growth of the Chinese economy in the past three decades. Nowadays, due to factors such as slowing economic growth, rising labor costs and limited resources, China's manufacturing upgrade is imminent.
In fact, the Chinese economy is undergoing a period of transition from export-led drive to the service. Services and real estate now account for 50% of the economy, and manufacturing is now declining, probably only 40%. This is a new pattern that China is facing. Chinese brands want to remain competitive, we need to continue to enhance the value of the brand, optimize product quality and enhance the innovative manufacturing.
Globally, companies in countries such as Cambodia, Vietnam and Bangladesh are becoming more competitive in terms of cost control, while advanced economies such as the US, Germany and Japan are leading the way at the technical level. Chinese companies are eagerly seeking new paths for manufacturing upgrades, accelerating manufacturing levels and efficiency.
As a focus on soft materials-textiles, leather, industrial fabrics and composite materials industry to provide integrated technology solutions to the global leader (Lectra outstanding ability and excellent technology in the manufacturing field by the industry recognition.
"Our target customers need more progress in terms of manufacturing, in order to provide high-quality products to their customers." Francoise Replumaz said, from mass production to intelligent production process, Lectra excellent products, professional Service and development experience can help manufacturing companies grow.

That is, to provide more value-added services, whether it is for retailers or product optimization. In addition, it needs There are new human resources."
With more than 40 years of experience in the international fashion and apparel industry, and a thriving development in China's manufacturing industry for more than 30 years, Lectra has continuously upgraded its systems, optimized its manufacturing model, and proposed Lectra Fashion PLM (Product Lifecycle Management System) through innovation.

Lean mode opens up new thinking
The rise of China's fashion industry means that the production process must be fast and flexible enough to enable smaller orders to reach greater business volumes during tight delivery times while maintaining low cost and quality standards. Therefore, everything that happens in the cutting room will determine the company's profit and loss.
Lectra fully understands these challenges and combines the expertise of the apparel industry, lean methods and state-of-the-art technology to help companies fine-tune the cutting process.

More importantly, it can improve product quality and stand out from the competition with better products.†Francoise Replumaz exemplifies that Lectra has many partners in the world. In China, Lectra has cooperated with high-quality companies such as Ruyi, especially in terms of lean optimization. “In the same period of time, the manufacturing company’s fabric cutting consumption is reduced by 1%. For the manufacturing cost of the enterprise, it means that there can be millions of savings. This is the advantage of Lectra lean mode.â€

She said: "Our annual revenue of 9% is spent on research and development to ensure that we can provide innovative products and services to our customers."
For the current development of Chinese manufacturing companies, Francoise Replumaz believes that "the quality standards and efficiency of Chinese manufacturing companies are still changing, but the 'Made in China 2025' plan has a strong guiding role in solving such problems, and also expects Lectra technology and The lean model can help Chinese manufacturing companies achieve better development."
