Inventory Control In Reverse Logistics Of Communication Equipment Manufacturer Company B

Along with the products recycling is more and more important to enterprises, the reverse logistics problems have brought new challenges to the manufacturers. After adding reverse logistics, the enterprise logistics system has produced a series of new problems, and inventory control is undoubtedly a priority in reverse logistics management. However, the traditional inventory control models concern little about reverse logistics which makes little sense to give enterprises a helping hand. Based on the above background, this paper combines with reverse logistics structures, processes and existing inventory problems of the communication equipment manufacturers and gives a discussion about inventory control strategies of communications equipment manufacturers in the presence of reverse logistics.The goal of this paper is to establish inventory control model in reverse logistics for communications equipment manufacturers on the basis of studying inventory control models in reverse logistics home and abroad. Research methods used in this paper include literature study, mathematical model and case analysis. The main contents of this paper include:(1)Establish inventory control model in reverse logistics for communications equipment manufacturers in case of non-information technology and information technology respectively and calculate the optimal production quantity and optimal order quantity.(2)Apply the obtained results to company B and give a contrastive analysis about the enterprise profits in two cases of reverse logistics with information technology and non-information technology. Analyze the impact of the return rates and price decline coefficient on enterprise profits.(3)Put forward inventory control strategies in reverse logistics and giving the construction program about inventory control system in reverse logistics on the basis of SAP systems for the company B.The main conclusions of this paper are:(1)Model in this paper assumes that product return rates is a determined variable and the market demand is random and then put forward assumptions in two cases of non-information and information. Calculate the optimum solutions which can enable the enterprise to obtain maximum profit and ease the inventory pressure of company B.(2)Get the results below through the analysis:enterprise profit will decline along with the raise of the return rates and price decline coefficient. In addition, when the sum of the inventory cost per new product and manufacturing cost is greater than the shortage cost of per product of the manufacturer, the enterprise profit in case of reverse logistics with information technology is bigger than that of non-information.(3)Put forward the inventory control strategies in reverse logistics through the SAP system can help company B know more fully about the relevant information of the return products and reduce the appearance of product returns.
