IV REASON AND RECOMMENDATION:

1 Possible reasons of those problems:

INTERNATIONAL UNIVERSITY, HCMCIMPORT – EXPORT MANAGEMENT

- Despite the fact that a number of businesses have invested in the Company to support the manufacture of materials for the leather and footwear industry such as leather, technical textiles, form-forming accessories, soles, plastic, and so on, small businesses only meet around 40% of company demands In order to have sufficient production materials, businesses must spend a significant amount of money on importing raw materials and auxiliary materials

- One of the most labor-intensive businesses is footwear Thousands to tens of thousands of tons in labor can be employed by a company Covid 19 insisted, however, that the production follow the "three on-site" model Many enterprises, however, had to delay operations due to a failure to adjust to changing conditions and infrastructure This results in the retirements of a significant number of workers

2 Solution:

- The use of computers by timekeeping personnel is the first answer that cannot be overlooked This is the tool that produces outcomes and provides the most value to the company It has tools for collecting and storing employee, worker, and other data in order to build report files that serve a variety of human resource management goals such as check-in, timekeeping, and wage calculation

- Infinity Enterprise assists food and businesses during wage performance, training to improve employee abilities; jointly control and promptly carry out procedures for employees supported by state assistance packages, helping to maintain security

- In addition to the company's lack of recruitment resources, many businesses consider technical research solutions to improve capacity and reduce employee stress, such as increasing production line speed from 7% to 40% of production lines, and quickly responding to products supplied to the market, especially during peak years

V Conclusion:

The better the production and circulation in todays modern market economy, the more forwarding enterprises emerge Vietnam is in the process of opening up to the global economy, which means that export activities must be centered on investment We require highly specialized expertise of this subject to be able to export swiftly and efficiently Furthermore, enterprises must be familiar with both Vietnamese and international trade rules

As a result of this Infinity enterprise export processing project, Group 8 was able to learn about a footwear firm, as well as gain a basic understanding of the process of exporting footwear and other papers Procedures required to export a single pair of shoes We are quite grateful for the opportunity to gain a thorough understanding of the import-export market through this project, as well as a lesson for our group to gain more

experience in this field in the future Ultimately, despite a lack of time and knowledge for this job, our staff did its best to complete the report completely We hope that this research will be useful practical significance for the organization and contribute to its future development
