Industry Focus: Textile Industry'S Solution To "Labor Shortage"

Under the pressure of rising energy and raw materials, China's textile industry is faced with many difficulties, such as recruitment difficulties, increased labor costs, tight funds, and so on.

In the recent selection of the national textile industry management innovation achievement award, some experts have suggested that through management innovation, technological progress and process reengineering, the labor productivity can be improved and the employment difficulties can be solved without increasing the intensity of labor. This innovation can be promoted and promoted in the industry.

The new generation of labor force, especially the post-80s and 90s, generally has a better growth environment. In the face of diversified social choices, they often do not want to enter the textile mill, which makes the textile enterprises encounter the dilemma of "labor shortage", "shortage of skilled workers" and the high turnover rate of workers.

Gu Qingliang said that enterprises should, through reform and innovation, improve labor productivity and reduce inefficient labor, skillfully resolve the current "labor shortage" and the pressure brought by the rising labor costs in the future, and at the same time, greatly enhance product quality and labor treatment, and enhance the international competitiveness of the textile industry.

"To expand the production capacity of textile enterprises by means of continuous recruitment is tantamount to a solution."

Gu Qingliang said that this trend of development is unsustainable under the trend of rising labor costs.

Textile enterprises can fundamentally solve problems only by eliminating invalid labor, simplifying workflow and improving production efficiency.

According to the findings of the China Cotton Textile Industry Association, there are many differences in the employment level of domestic cotton textile enterprises. Some enterprises use more than 150 workers in 10000 spindles, some even reach 180, and medium level enterprises can control 60 to 80 people.

The first cotton textile mill in Wuxi, which won the national textile industry management innovation achievement award, has been reduced to 25 people by the management innovation from more than 300 people in the past ten thousand years, and the textile labor efficiency has reached the international advanced level.
