The onset of the COVID-19 pandemic brought tremendous changes to people's lives and to Liu Tan Garment's operations. Challenges included the blockade of the Chinese border, suspension of trade between countries, and even people's survival. At the same time, this severe world situation caused people to reflect. China and Liu Tan Garment had a responsibility to support the livelihoods of thousands of people but economic development and profit production were constrained. What was once a busy manufacturing plant became an empty flow room. The empty plant was still filled with orders around the clock, which presented a disastrous business challenge for Liu Tan Garment.
This may sound appalling, but this is a true portrayal of the worst of the epidemic for Liu Tan. Liu Tan's leaders could not sit idly by. Instead, they brainstormed with management and the IT department on the current business and technology. The leaders jumped out of their comfort zones and turned to a new model of digital management. Digital technology has shifted lifestyles and created new possibilities for humans. First imagined and then actualized by science and technology, Liu Tan gradually moved from the haze of the pandemic to recover the business' performance using digital innovation.
