Textile trade includes international trade and domestic trade. As my country’s market economy further improves, it has become a consensus among industry insiders to learn from and abide by the general principles of international trade in domestic trade. In the international trade of textiles, each transaction is settled on an “order” basis. A business or transaction is a sale. A series of documents will be formed around a textile transaction, so people in China are accustomed to calling textile trade processing “making an order”, “signing a contract” as “order placement”, and “renewing a contract” as “replying orders”. The control process of trade processing is called “following orders”. Furthermore, the people who control the processing process are also called “merchandisers”, the people who control the processing quality and process of the textile factory are called textile merchandisers, and the people who control the processing quality and process of the printing and dyeing factories are called dyeing and finishing merchandisers. Unlike textile merchandisers, the main work of dyeing and finishing merchandisers is completed within the dyeing factory. The main work of the dyeing and finishing merchandiser includes two aspects: information exchange and delivery time control.
01 Information exchange
The control process of textile dyeing and finishing is actually a process of information exchange, and information exchange is two-way. On the one hand, the trading company must fully inform the dyeing factory through the merchandiser of all requirements for textile dyeing and finishing processing, as a basis for the dyeing factory to control the quality of product processing. On the other hand, during the dyeing and finishing process of textiles, there will always be problems of one kind or another, such as color difference problems, hand feeling problems, packaging length problems, etc., which require merchandisers to report to the trading company in a timely manner in order to get the company’s approval. New instructions to appropriately adjust the control focus of textiles in subsequent processing.
It is not difficult to see that the process of textile dyeing and finishing is a two-way exchange of information. In this process, the merchandiser’s ability to process the information he has mastered can fully reflect the merchandiser’s basic business ability and comprehensive quality. Through continuous learning and practice, the business ability and comprehensive quality of merchandisers can be gradually improved, which is the main purpose of offering this course. In the learning process, making full use of the professional knowledge you have mastered can improve learning efficiency. For those practitioners who have not graduated from dyeing and finishing technology, as long as they think carefully and practice hard during the learning process, they can also receive good learning results.
02 Delivery time control
In the dyeing and finishing process of foreign trade textiles, delivery time control sometimes appears to be more important than quality control. In fact, the delivery date is the solemn commitment of the textile processing party on the delivery date. Delay in delivery is actually a serious form of breach of contract. Changing the solemn promises made to customers is a concrete manifestation of breach of trust. Many domestic suppliers still have this understanding: delaying delivery in order to fully ensure product quality is a sign of being responsible to customers. In fact, this idea is obviously one-sided. Since a foreign trade company has signed a contract with a foreign customer, all terms in the contract must be observed by both parties. Delayed delivery may cause the foreign trade company’s customers to be unable to meet their next delivery requirements. The resulting vicious cycle can only lead to a series of adverse consequences such as air transportation or payment of liquidated damages. Domestic trading companies originally wanted to obtain relatively small profits by placing orders, but due to poor delivery time control, it may eventually lead to huge compensation. In short, whether it is domestic trade or international trade, strictly ensuring delivery time is the prerequisite for continuously expanding business processing volume.
03 Dyeing and finishing order process
The work content of dyeing and finishing merchandisers in the dyeing factory determines the basic process of dyeing and finishing merchandisers. The main work contents of the merchandiser include selecting salespersons, warehousing gray fabrics, arranging colors and cylinders, color control, meter quantity control, feel control, thickness control, inspection and packaging control, finished product delivery and product internal quality control. aspect. The control of the above-mentioned links is basically arranged according to the process of textile dyeing and finishing. While controlling the above ten issues, the merchandiser is also responsible for making necessary contacts with the production department, technical department, logistics service department and other departments of the dyeing factory.
1. Put bad cloth into storage
According to the order quantity, plan the quantity of gray fabric. After the gray fabric is transported to the dyeing factory, it should be arranged to enter the warehouse in time. When entering the warehouse, count the number of pieces, check the gray cloth code sheet, distinguish the batch number, count the total meters, and ask the dyeing factory warehouse manager for the gray cloth storage slip. These are the responsibilities of the dyeing and finishing merchandiser. After the gray fabric is put into storage, the dyeing and finishing merchandiser must conduct five inspections.
① Check the stacking height of gray fabrics
The stacking height of the gray fabric is too high. If the stacking time is too long, the bottom gray fabric will be compressed and deformed, which will easily cause difficulty in unwinding the gray fabric and form internal stress in the fabric, which will affect the pre-processing of the fabric.
② Check the rain and sun protection effect of the warehouse
If the rain and sun protection effect of the warehouse is not good, the fabric will be easily exposed to rain or sunlight, causing the gray fabric to become moldy or the spandex to break, making it impossible for the fabric to undergo normal dyeing and finishing processing.
③Check the ground paving situation where the gray cloth is stacked
If the gray fabrics are piled directly on the ground, they will easily get damp or be bitten by mice. Although some chemical fiber products are not afraid of getting wet, they are stained with too much mud and easily affect the cleanliness of light-colored fabrics.
④Check whether there are anyAddressing and pointing out the road is one of the responsibilities of the merchandiser. Supervising the packing process and counting the number of boxes are also tasks that merchandisers must complete.
8.Salesperson selection
Choosing a salesperson in the dyeing factory business department who is willing to provide quality services to the trading company is the first thing the merchandiser does after confirming that the dyeing factory will process textiles. The salesperson can understand the basic situation of the dyeing factory. The merchandiser can make reasonable requests to the relevant departments in the dyeing factory through the salesperson. The salesperson can assist the merchandiser in handling various bills, provide relevant information to the merchandiser, etc. If the merchandiser cannot choose a salesperson from the dyeing factory in time, he or she can also accept a salesperson recommended by the business manager of the dyeing factory. In short, choosing a good salesperson can greatly improve work efficiency.
9. Delivery of finished products from warehouse
When the finished product is shipped out of the warehouse, the merchandiser needs to explain to the warehouse manager the color and number of pieces of textiles to be shipped out. After calculating the total meter based on the code sheet, the warehouse manager will issue a finished product delivery note to the merchandiser. The merchandiser should go to the Finance Department to pay the dyeing fee according to the meter number on the delivery note and then use the delivery note to handle the delivery of the finished product. Of course, the above process can also be handled by a salesperson. The trading company can also go through the procedures for leaving the finished product in advance by paying the dyeing fee before the specified date through the guarantee of the salesperson. Paying dyeing and finishing processing fees and issuing VAT invoices are the main reasons why merchandisers have business dealings with the financial department of the dyeing factory. When paying the dyeing fee, it can be cash, money order or check. Asking the financial department for the dyeing factory’s bank account and basic account number are the basic requirements for making cash checks and money orders. When carrying money orders, it is strictly prohibited to fold, scratch or break them. When requesting a VAT invoice, you must proactively provide the original or photocopy of the company’s business license, tax registration certificate and other documents as required by the dyeing factory’s financial department.
10.Intrinsic quality control
Intrinsic quality control often requires third-party inspection to verify, mainly including dye fastness, shrinkage, strength and ecology of textile processing. The dyeing factory can also issue inspection reports for regular items for reference by trading companies. Inspection of special items, especially when the customer proposes inspection according to the requirements of ecological textiles, the foreign trade company must issue a third-party inspection report. The so-called third party is an organization independent of foreign trade companies and dyeing factories. During the processing of foreign trade products, dyeing factories have business dealings with foreign trade companies, and foreign trade companies have business dealings with domestic and foreign customers. Qualified professional testing companies are independent third parties for all aspects mentioned above. Therefore, third-party inspection is more fair and objective. The dyeing factory inspection report can only be used for reference by trading companies. For trading companies, especially their customers, the inspection results are not objective and fair. This point requires the follower to pay special attention during the follow-up process.
At present, the number of qualified professional inspection companies is gradually increasing. These professional inspection companies are also called inspection companies by industry insiders. These companies are not only responsible for the inspection of customers’ incoming samples, but can also be entrusted by customers to go directly to the dyeing factory designated by the trading company for confirmation and commissioned inspection of their products. During the above process, the merchandiser must do a good job in reception and provide good service and support. When necessary, the merchandiser can ask the dyeing factory to provide relevant cooperation and support.
