In supply chain, the relationship of its members is not only collaborative, but also competitive.The inventory control is between the enterprises of supply chain. Therefore, studies on the inventory control of supply chain have the theoretical and realistic significance.The second part of this paper theoretically introduce the appearance of supply chain as well as use catalectic, Game Theory and the Enterprise Resource economics analysis the economic foundation of supply chain, then basis on inventory control theory in supply chain, divide these theories into the inventory control non-center policy and the inventory control center policy, and carry on the literature summary to the domestic and foreign inventory control policy.The third part introduces the inventory control non-center policy under supply chain environment. First introduce the ABC classification, and point out that the traditional ABC classification classifies the inventory simply by the single factor standard is unscientific, and proposed the multi-factors ABC classification as well as use fuzzy synthesis judgment method makes the improvement to the ABC classification.
