This study aims to create a safe working environment and improve productivity in order to systematically support the improvement of working hazards and production and manufacturing working environments in small and underdeveloped clothing manufacturing sites. To this end, a digital transformation education program will be established in response to the fourth industrial era through the Seoul Fashion Manufacturing Production Support Center, which is based on Geumcheon, Seoul, where the fashion sewing industry, IT high-tech, and sales distribution coexist. Based on this, it aims to demonstrate through manufacturing safety education, sustainable ESG education, and program execution to create jobs, and to serve as an optimal fashion manufacturing support center through analysis and satisfaction research.
Starting with two Geumcheon·Changsin Fashion Support Centers in 2020, a total of seven are in operation, including Dobong socks, Gangdong leather, Gaebong machines, Gangbuk fashion, and Seongbuk fashion. In 2022, the number of sewing companies in Seoul is 405 in weight districts, 257 in Seongbuk-gu, 187 in Gangbuk-gu, and 244l in Geumcheon-gu, and the number of sewing companies is 1,434 in Jungnang-gu, 663 in Seongbuk-gu, 558 in Gangbuk-gu, and 1,770 in Geumcheon-gu, with Geumcheon-gu having the largest corporate size and the highest employment effect. As for the production form of the sewing industry, shirts/sports clothing are dominated in the Jungnang area, small-scale multi-species production in the Dongdaemun area, and women's suits and shirts/sports in the Guro and Geumcheon areas. Through this, performance is analyzed through demonstration conducted from 2020 to 2022, and the results are reflected in the next year's mind map operation through a program satisfaction survey.
Since the opening of the Seoul Fashion Manufacturing Support Center in October 2020, 76% of young entrepreneurs in Geumcheon-gu, Gwanak-gu and Mapo-gu have used small businesses in nearby areas, and 86.3%. Individual companies and corporations were classified for research and analysis, and the retention period of companies was divided into 5 years or less, 5-10 years, 10-20 years, and 20 years or more. Accordingly, the number of workers was classified and satisfaction according to the presence or absence of a tailor was investigated. At this time, we investigated the reasons for facility use, frequency of use, satisfaction with facility use, and satisfaction with facility use, and asked about plans for reuse rates to establish advanced education systems such as live commerce, YouTube, shopping live, and start-up space solution libraries that can utilize and activate spaces suitable for the digital transformation era.
In order to revitalize the fashion manufacturing industry, which has been shrinking due to rising domestic labor costs and the relocation of related industries abroad, and to overcome difficulties, we want to secure competitiveness and foster infrastructure through system construction and education programs that respond to the digital transformation era.
