It’s coming fiercely! This sudden outbreak of pneumonia caused by a new type of coronavirus spread rapidly across the country from Wuhan, Hubei Province. It was so violent and had a huge impact that far exceeded everyone’s expectations. There is no precise time for when the epidemic will end, but its impact on the chemical fiber industry is already obvious.
In response to the COVID-19 epidemic, many places have successively announced notices delaying the resumption of work.
However, please note that although local policies basically require companies to resume work no earlier than February 9 However, it does not mean that everyone will be able to go to work normally starting from February 10th.
For example, when Zhengzhou City requires the resumption of work and production timetable, among industrial enterprises, those with mainly local employees and a complete local industrial chain will be on February 10; those with few employees from epidemic areas, Industrial enterprises with relatively complete local industrial chains, February 17. For other industrial enterprises, it is February 24.
Shenzhen needs to report in advance to resume work.
It is said that it is difficult for textile companies to start operations. What kind of difficulties are there? What’s the reason?
According to the survey results: 37% of the industry believe that the main impact of the epidemic on the industry is the imbalance of market procurement caused by the uncertainty of delayed construction, and 27% of the industry believe that the main impact of the epidemic on the industry is The impact is that logistics and transportation are controlled, which affects production progress. 27% of the industry believes that the main impact of the epidemic on the industry is that the epidemic affects the return of employees and cannot recruit people. 9% of the industry believes that the main impact of the epidemic on the industry is other impacts.
Let’s look at a picture first:

Due to traffic control, the back-to-work conflict is particularly acute in coastal provinces with many non-local employees. It has even been affected in some provinces that have not implemented epidemic control. .
The logistics situation of textiles and chemical fiber raw materials is even more complicated. Since textiles often need to be transported across regions, it is impossible for textile factories to fully understand the traffic control conditions in other places, causing many logistics drivers to “give up” and find it difficult to come back once they are released. Therefore, textile and chemical fiber factories can only meet the demand for base paper distribution over shorter distances. For farther places, they can only find solutions from trucks and docks – sadly, trucks and docks also have hidden epidemic risks.
Under such circumstances, textile factories with normal production are in a dilemma. If they start working, the products cannot be shipped out and become inventory; if they stop working, they will have to apply again if they want to resume work in the future.
Textile companies resume work on the 10th or fail early
According to interviews with companies, even if the control ends, the production activities of textile factories will still resume. Facing the following difficulties:
Cash turnover: rigid expenses such as rent, workers’ wages, equipment depreciation, raw material procurement funds, collection of accounts receivable, expiration of account periods, etc., these are all Want money. Even the cost increase caused by the possible recruitment of workers, the establishment of new procurement channels, the backlog of orders and other complex issues will affect the factory’s capital turnover.
Traffic control: Due to logistics and worker rework issues caused by traffic problems, it is unknown whether raw material logistics, production recovery, and product delivery can be guaranteed. The loss of orders and customers that may result from this is something that packaging companies are unwilling to face;
Epidemic protection: If one person is infected, the entire factory will shut down. However, epidemic prevention materials are currently in short supply, and many factories do not have relevant material preparations, making it impossible to ensure safety after starting work.
These difficulties can be summarized and broken down into cash flow, worker rework, cost increase, and customer problems.Issues such as losses, raw material channels, order delivery, epidemic prevention, etc. However, even if textile factories can complete these difficult challenges, will they be able to resume work smoothly?
According to the latest news, some areas that were originally scheduled to start construction on February 10 have been postponed. On February 3, Zhejiang issued 17 regulations on business resumption and epidemic prevention and control. This regulation clarifies that companies must obtain approval before resuming work. In other words, Zhejiang enterprises can not resume work immediately if they want to resume work on February 10. They need to prepare a prevention and control plan and submit it to the local management department for filing and approval before starting work. Taking Zhejiang as a reference, in other places, such as Henan, Hunan, Jiangsu and other places, those companies that are “waiting for notification” to start operations may also be waiting for similar guiding regulations.
In addition, whether it is Zhejiang or other provinces, there is a qualification “approval” or qualification certificate that is often mentioned by companies. What is this approval? The editor asked the factory for two relevant approval documents:
Judging from the content of the approval document, for the resumption of production It has not yet been fully liberalized. Even if it can be approved at present, it is only for materials related to medicine and people’s livelihood. No wonder some textile factories are expecting to start operations in March.
Grasp the money! Self-rescue suggestions for textile companies
Despite various difficulties, many textile companies are still trying to find ways to resume production as soon as possible. The person in charge of a large group once said that as long as production controls can be relaxed and half a shift of production staff can come back, he can start up the production line. Moreover, due to low personnel expenses, the orders from the previous year are enough to support a production line. Wire. Only by starting work as soon as possible can we retain major customers and seize opportunities for new orders such as medical care.
The suggestions given by the editor are: First, seize the money and stabilize the capital flow; secondly, restore the logistics and transportation channels as soon as possible; then arrange production personnel according to the improvement of the epidemic situation, and at the same time restore Production Activities. It should be noted that although the arrangement of production personnel is placed last, the preparation of production personnel must be in advance. According to the requirements of some regions, returning workers are required to self-isolate for 14 days before returning to work. Be prepared for a rainy day and be cautious.
