Study On Strategy Of Supply Chain Inventory Control And Optimization For Mechanical Customized Products

Inventory control is the key factor on supply chain management,playing a very important role in the development of manufacturing enterprises.To study supply chain inventory control and its optimization strategy is valuable to manufacturing enterprises for continuously saving cost and eliminating waste,as well as enhancing operation efficiency in supply chain management.The paper firstly introduces the background&significance of the research,put forward the new research methods and its frame work after sharing and comparing the current research results on domestics and foreign literature.Then,presents the basic theory and methodology of inventory management covering the traditional inventory control and modern supply chain inventory control.Secondly,problems on inventory management are identified like slow moving inventory,low inventory turn etc.and its root causes are discovered such as no dedicated inventory control methodology etc.through analyzing the features of supply chain in mechanical customized products enterprises X company as a case study.Thirdly,Improve match level of supply&demand and Optimize the material flow system as the key strategies are worked out to improve and optimize inventory management based upon the problems and root causes,which covers several processes like customer forecast accuracy improvement,supplier material classification,supplier management optimization,material flow system design and optimization,definition of material flow plan and its replenishment,supplier Kanban set-up and implementation,and so on.Above mentioned processes will be integrated as a set of systematic strategy of supply chain inventory control and optimization.Finally,this set of systematic strategy will be implemented on category A customized product of X company to demonstrate its availability.
