Industry’s mantra: An amalgamation of technological
upgradation and constructive HR methodology for best results.
The latest trend in the industry is to hold and even attend seminars and workshops on the concept of Industry 4.0 which includes digitisation, augmented reality, artificial intelligence, machine-to machine learning and 3D printing.
Gone are the days when technology for better and efficient
production was the focus of attention. It seems that the
incremental changes towards automation in sewing are taken
as not so critical anymore, at least not critical enough to hold or
attend workshops. And this can be substantiated by the fact that
many of the smaller sewing machine manufacturers are selling out
to bigger companies.
This is certainly not going to help the garment manufacturing industry in the short or even in the long term. However small they may be, upgradation in technology is significant to keep pace with the needs of today and should be discussed and appreciated.
It is therefore important for the garment manufacturers to take a prudent approach and keep abreast of the latest hardware and upgraded technologies, as also be concurrently aware about the technologies of the future.
This balanced approach to learning will be helpful to grow in the present and be prepared for the future!
The second most popular topic for industry today is now Human Resource Development, which is nothing more than sharing newer methods or jargons to motivate employees/operators, considering the fact that the industry lacks formal, pragmatic contemporary HR systems and interventions.
For attaining lasting success, organisations need to embrace the key role of human resource as a necessary catalyst to enhance the entire production system by making it smoother and swifter than before.
