An outbreak disrupted many plans. So what happened after the epidemic? According to data from the National Health and Medical Commission, as of 24:00 on the 17th, 79 new cases were confirmed in 30 provinces other than Hubei and the Xinjiang Production and Construction Corps, which fell for two weeks and fell to double digits. With the exception of Hubei, the epidemic is gradually moving away from us. Enterprises across the country have also received notices from government departments requesting full resumption of work and production. At this time, it is time to consider the question of "what enterprises should do in the post-prevention and control era."
First, textile mills need to be prepared to flock orders. This epidemic brought a sudden brake to the fast-growing Chinese economy. For the cotton market, the losses are extremely severe. But things are two-sided, with mutual benefits and good fortunes. Will downstream orders flock to the post-epidemic era? I think it is very possible. These days, I have communicated with many friends in the circle, and most of them reflect that the downstream inventory is not high. Especially after a large number of clothing, quilt and textile companies have quickly transformed into mask factories, the downstream demand for raw materials is already thirsty. Will there be a retaliatory increase in demand for yarn and its textiles once logistics is fully smooth? Therefore, textile enterprises still need to do some preparations.
Second, there is still a long way to go for workers to return to the factory in full and return to work. In the post-prevention and control era, the protection of workers in enterprises cannot be taken lightly. What is the difficulty in returning to the factory? First, workers from epidemic areas need to be quarantined for medical observation for 14 days before they can start work. In this case, it is better to persuade the workers not to return to work for the time being, and to consider returning to work when the epidemic situation is lifted. Second, the epidemic caused everyone to endanger themselves. Many workers in non-epidemic areas took the initiative to delay returning to the factory due to their own safety considerations. Third, some logistics departments have to "go south and north", which is relatively risky, and it is not realistic to be fully employed in the short term. Therefore, it is not easy for workers to return to full production. Then, for all the outbreaks in the country, and for enterprises that want to maintain full-scale resumption of work, strengthening protection for workers is protecting themselves. What's more, this protection of workers must be continued for a long time.
Third, the textile mill should also do a good job of cash flow reserve work. The harder it is, the more cash is king. In the post-prevention and control era, does the company have sufficient funds to purchase large amounts of raw materials, does it have sufficient funds for workers to pay wages and bonuses in full on a monthly basis, and does it have sufficient funds to purchase new equipment for conversion or increase efficiency, ... Seeing that the epidemic is on the way, companies should plan ahead and prepare for a large amount of funds in preparation for demand. On the 17th, a market person communicated with the author and showed concern for funds, especially cash flow. He said that enterprises should plan and implement early. Fourth, textile mills should focus on the Internet and technology to promote contactless transactions and unmanned production. In 2003, an atypical pneumonia quickly eliminated some enterprises, and also allowed some high-tech companies and e-commerce to grow rapidly. Some people say that the new crown virus in 2020 is another opportunity for enterprises to reborn. Every major disaster is also a sublimation of humanity. For enterprises and industries, it is a great opportunity. In this disaster, there may be countless higher technology companies, which will push contactless transactions and unmanned production a big step forward. Therefore, should our company work harder in this regard? |
