Research On The Optimization Of Automobile After-sale Parts' Inventory Management Of F Company

Nowadays,with a good momentum of economic globalization,China is comprehensively deepening its reform,a wave of quality revolution made in China is upcoming.Auto industry,as one of the four mainstay industries in China,is an important factor in national economy.It is present a trend of continuous "jump" growth.However,with the declined auto profit and increasingly intense competition between industries,it remains a question on how auto manufacturers achieve sustainable development among the fierce competition? It is also a concern for many enterprises on how to explore new profit growth points from the aspect of supply chain.Auto parts,as a source for supporting the development of the auto industry and an important joint of its value chain,accounts for about two thirds of profit of the whole auto industry.Therefore,the auto companies gradually regard the auto parts market as a new profit growth point.In order to strengthen the core competitiveness,most auto manufacturers in China choose to outsource their logistics business to TPL(Third Party Logistics),who would undertake all the related logistics activities.With the development of auto industry,the inventory management of after-sales parts becomes relatively complicated,which is an important factor to affect auto quality for after-sales service,market competitiveness and customer satisfaction for a company.Therefore,TPL must establish a set of effective inventory management method to relieve the contradiction between auto industry development and economic profits,besides,the method is also a crucial factor for all companies in the auto industry supply chain to realize long-term development.On this basis,this paper chooses F Company as the research object.Based on said background,this paper research and analysis on its inventory management status of the after-sales parts of F Company,and strives to provide a corresponding decision-making basis for its inventory management business.The paper expounds the related theories,comprising: inventory management,after-sales auto parts and demand forecasting,then analyzes and optimizes the inventory management status of after-sales auto parts of F Company,comprising: adopting Supply-Hub inventory management concept with TPL as the main operator for dealing with problems of low satisfaction rate of after-sales auto parts supply and serious inventory backlog,solving the difficulties of F Company in implementing VMI through TPL&UMI inventory management operation mode,thus strengthening the operation efficiency of auto parts supply chain,and giving full play to resource optimization and coordination of TPL;applying ABC classification to conduct sort management on after-sales parts of the company;establishing a grey forecasting model to improve the company's demand forecasting level,and applying GTMS3.0 grey forecasting system to solve the model,thereby verifying the validity of the model.
