Application of commodity barcode in clothing industry
[ad_1]
Project Background
With the development of the global economy and global trade, the intensification of global competition, the increase of economic uncertainties, and the increase in consumer demand for clothing and other changes in the general environment, clothing companies must stand firm in global competition. A place of defeat. Information has become an important resource for the development and survival of enterprises. For example, the sales of clothing products are very important for a clothing company. The application of barcode technology for data collection can accurately and efficiently collect product sales information, allowing companies to understand the marketability of products in a timely manner, and make timely and reasonable planning of production plans to avoid the loss of inventory backlog or out of stock. Information is the life of an enterprise. Apparel enterprises must not only carry out vertical and vertical information transmission, but also carry out horizontal information transmission to coordinate various information and various economic behaviors of various departments within the enterprise and each node of the supply chain.
As an automatic identification and automatic data collection technology, bar code is one of the important means of supply chain process management and information tracking, and is used at various nodes of supply chain management.
In order to achieve the tracking, collection and feedback of all-round information resources in the entire supply chain, we must pay attention to the following issues, such as: information must be standardized and standardized; information processing procedures must be standardized; information collection is timely and accurate Sex and integrity, etc. In short, the issue of standardization is particularly important.
Although clothing is a relatively special product with short life cycle and strong fashion characteristics, it still has the characteristics of general products. Most of them are sold in large department stores, supermarkets, specialty stores, etc., which are the same as those sold in supermarkets. There is no essential difference between food and general daily necessities. Therefore, the code structure of the clothing product barcode should also conform to the code structure of GB12904 “Commodity barcode”.

1.Code structure of clothing product barcode
Although clothing is a relatively special product with short life cycle and strong fashion characteristics, it still has the characteristics of general products. Most of them are sold in large department stores, supermarkets, specialty stores, etc., which are the same as those sold in supermarkets. There is no essential difference between food and general daily necessities. Therefore, the code structure of the clothing product barcode should also conform to the code structure of GB12904 “Commodity barcode”.
The code structure of the clothing product barcode is composed of three parts: the manufacturer identification code, the product item code and the check code.
Vendor identification code: The enterprise shall apply to the China Article Numbering Center according to certain procedures, which shall be uniformly allocated, registered and managed by the China Article Numbering Center.
In summary, clothing companies only need to compile product item codes by themselves.
The item of clothing products refers to the categories of clothing products that are divided into similar characteristics. These categories are the units for the retail of goods, commercial POS, sales accounting, and consumer purchases of goods. For example, a shirt, a suit, and a pair of trousers are different pricing units and are different commodity items.
The clothing product item code is a unique symbol or mark assigned to the clothing product item to indicate the name of the product item. For example, the code for pure cotton men’s shirt is 0001, and the code for blended men’s shirt is 0002.
The clothing item code is composed of 4 or 5 digits.
2. Coding Scheme
(1) Coding range
(2) Coding principles
(3) Determine the scope of commodity item codes
(4) Select the relationship between the item code of the commodity and the product code of the enterprise
When the company produces a single product variety or few changes in specifications, the number of company product codes is within the code range of the product item code, and the product item code has a certain degree of redundancy, you can choose the product item code to correspond to the product code one-to-one. In other words, one product code corresponds to one product item code, and one product item code corresponds to one product code. This correspondence can be regular or random.
This correspondence relationship can be serial sequence correspondence or full sequence correspondence. The so-called serial sequence correspondence refers to the one-to-one correspondence between a certain range of the product item code and the product code of a certain product. For example, the commodity item code 1000-2000 corresponds to the suit product code, and the commodity item code 3000-4000 corresponds to the casual wear product code. This correspondence is best done by a computer.
3. Process (omitted)
At present, my country’s clothing sales basically have four channels, namely large department stores, clothing wholesale markets, specialty stores and supermarkets (general markets).
Large department store
Large department stores are an important place for clothing business. Generally, they mainly operate medium and high-end clothing. Many domestic and foreign brand-name enterprises have exclusive sales in large department stores. Generally, clothing is the main product of large department stores, and the retail sales of clothing products account for 28.6% of the total retail sales of large department stores. The business area of clothing products accounts for about 30% of the business area of large department stores. Among consumers in various cities, 30% of their clothing consumption is in large department stores. In large department stores, the application of barcodes is unsatisfactory. Although some Chinese and foreign brand-name companies have barcodes on their garments, their representation methods are different, whether it is the product code or the barcode representation. Because of this, most large department stores cannot use commercial POS systems for settlement. It affects the application of the POS system in large department stores, and at the same time it is unable to provide timely feedback on sales information.
Clothing wholesale market
The clothing wholesale market is the main channel for the circulation of large-scale clothing products, with a complete variety and mainly wholesale. The consumer groups are urban low- and middle-income consumers. At present, no commodity barcode is applied in the clothing wholesale market.
Specialty store
Specialty stores are the business premises of well-known brand clothing at home and abroad. In addition to sales, their role lies in the packaging of the brand image. The clothing sold is generally distinctive and high-grade, mainly sportswear and casual wear, and the main consumer groups are urban consumers. The application of barcodes in specialty stores is still more common. However, the application of barcodes is very inconsistent and non-standard, and they are all internal codes of the enterprise. There is no comparability between stores and brands.
Supermarket (i.e. general market)
Supermarkets (general markets) also sell clothing, but most of these malls do not sell clothing. There are no brand counters. Consumers mainly buy low-end casual clothing, underwear and home clothing in this type of market. POS systems in supermarkets and clothing basically use commodity barcodes, and barcodes are better.
Implementation Effect
Outside the enterprise, the application of clothing attributes to describe clothing can be very convenient for product management. The attribute code generated by the clothing attribute code (usually EAN.UCC 128 barcode) can be easily implemented for product classification and attribute query management.
Within the enterprise, production process management and control, financial management, employee management, inventory management, etc., can use bar code automatic identification technology in all areas of computer management. Implementation of information tracking, process control, and automatic data collection.
