In December, the market suddenly improved, and Boss Bu’s orders increased. Never would I have imagined that the order came but there were no workers to produce it!
It has just entered December, and the textile market has already experienced a “labor shortage” problem! “Labour shortage” is an inevitable difficulty encountered in the textile industry at the end and beginning of every year. But this year’s “labor shortage” seems to be ahead of schedule! what on earth is it?
There are orders but no workers
The main reason is that in November, the market took a turn for the worse, Boss Bu’s orders were seriously insufficient, and the inventory continued to increase. Weaving companies were forced to reduce or suspend production, and workers were naturally reduced or given holidays. Many factories start to take annual leave in November, and most of the workers are migrant workers who return home as soon as they take annual leave. Nowadays, the sharp rise in market prices has caused manufacturing companies to change their past practice of reducing production and taking turns to take holidays, and start to increase load production again. The production reduction in November led to the loss of workers. Faced with a sudden outbreak of the market, the labor shortage problem is about to break out!
A person in charge of a company that produces elastic fabrics revealed: “Our factory stopped production in November, and then opened at 30% capacity in mid-November. Unexpectedly, we received a lot of orders in December, and now we want to increase the load, but there are no workers. Many of them have gone back to their hometowns. It’s really a headache. I’m afraid I won’t be able to finish the list on hand before the Chinese New Year.”
Boss Bu is looking for temporary workers with high salary
More than one textile boss has complained to the editor that due to the lack of workers, production capacity has not reached full capacity, affecting order delivery. The person in charge of another manufacturer also said that the factory has only recently started to operate at full capacity. Last month, one factory only maintained 80% of its operating capacity due to worker problems. The main reason was the lack of skilled workers.
Including Danbu, which has become a hot market recently, it also surprised Danbu companies. Danbu bosses can only hire temporary workers with high salaries. Although the salary is high, it is difficult to find temporary workers now. The main reason is that in the early stage, the entire market sent a signal that it was coming to an end and the annual leave was coming. Workers could not find temporary jobs, so they returned to their hometowns.
Next, even if the market conditions recover, the problem of “labor shortage” will become increasingly serious. Because the closer to the Spring Festival, the more workers will begin to return home. Although the salary of temporary workers is 300 yuan/day, and is settled on a daily basis. But even so, few workers will stay and continue working for just a few days of high wages.
Boss Bu, who has already received substantial orders, said that the shortage of workers is indeed a very troublesome problem, and it can only be solved by hiring temporary workers with high salaries. The previous labor problem has not yet been resolved, and follow-up orders have been insufficient. However, when faced with machines that have already been started, we cannot just stop them. In fact, there are certain risks.
Those cloth owners who do not have orders in hand should not blindly produce, but still need to pay attention to the inventory quantity. According to the purchasing habits of end consumers in previous years, the consumption intensity of Double 11 is much greater than that of Double 12. In addition, it is still the e-commerce season recently and the sales results are still unknown. Therefore, the final results of e-commerce companies in stocking Double 12 are still unknown. , as well as the later return rate, including whether the goods will eventually be received are unknown.
But then again, after all, according to tradition, the sales volume in the fourth quarter also accounts for a large share of the whole year. Especially in the foreign trade market, in order to ship goods before the Spring Festival, orders for next year are usually placed in December. The market is very It is possible that there will be another “small peak season” for sales.
