Due to the specialities of product and material in garment industry, as well as the pressure from order delivery, the business management of garment enterprise becomes unstable and complex. The exist of many unpredictable problems bring in some high management risks to the enterprises’ management. So each department of the enterprise has to cooperate closely. As soon as they receive the order, they must give an answer of delivery day, design out the style according the customer’s requirement, purchase the source material, eatimate the producing capacity, arrange the manufacturing and make sure the quality to produce the products with high quality etc. Thereinafter, we will give some analysis on the problems existing in garment enterprises:

• Short fashion cycle, strong and various seasonal market

　　 The short fashion cycle of garments not only manifest in the change of seasonal garments, but also be reflected in the different seasons. These differences may occur in costuming, colours, styles, designs and other aspects. And these demand the garment enterprise’s follow with the seasons to design and develop new producing line, to provide the customers with new products and service continually. This rapid change, on the one hand, can bring lots of opportunity to the enterprises, which also can bring some risks and instabilities to the enterprises’ management.

• high storage and high risk of advanced manufacture

　　 The garment manufacture must have a period of heading, that is to say to made next year’s products this year. And this demands a market of forcast to make sure the garment material can be put into market in a intending time. While no one is positive he is right all the time. Once there is a short of supply in the market, and the storage is not enough, it is unadvisable to reproduce, because it will result in overstock. It is common that with the development of the enterprise, the warehouse becomes large,and the sales raise several times, but there is no raise capital on account book because of overstock.

• The variety of manufacturing plan

　　 In the garment industry, the garment manufacturing process is often restricted by the source material’s arriving and quality. Once the material arriving time changed, the whole manufacturing plan changed. It will also result in an excessive capital and high management cost.

• The complex management of various product

　　 When we talk about garment production, we often refer to the style, colour and size. The amount of production is very huge and there must be a corresponding relation of the same style. The complex manufacturing flow, various working procedure, different manufacturing process of each style, complex management of sample tailor and the existing of many BOM of the same style, all of these above will cause many inconvenience to cost management. At the same time, the main source material for garment manufacture are surface material, linning, adjuvant material etc. they demand much of the material and the management of texture, colour and patch order’s attribute. Moreover, of the same colour, the cloth has different colour number, vat number. When describing the source material, one has to use the colour + colour number to express. Such a vast material imformation needs a refined management but not by manpower. Without rational management, it is easy to cause many needless lost and waste in manufacturing, and lead to low production efficiency and high cost.

• Complicated production staff calculation

　　 The obvious problems of garment manufacture are many working orders, much turnover and great amount. So it is of great difficulty to follow the orders, to know the manufacturing schedule and statistic. Another difficulty is it’s too complex to calculate the worker’s working ticket and the piecerate, hard to raise the working efficiency.

• Complex business management

　　The complexity of the product (that is to say to define a product with style, colour and size) brings into the complicated business management. In the garment industry,the great mount of product attribute makes the complexity of operation increase for several times. Many garment enterprises have to deal with thousands of products, manage a lot of styles, structure, customer identification and even more data. Under such high complex business management, the accurate forcast, material purchasing management, mamufacturing plan and partial sales management are much more important.
