企业存货管理研究
福特哈里斯(1915)在《银行货币储备的研究》中总结并提炼出了重要的库存费用模型。
而库存研究领域中的重要突破发生在1934年,该年威尔逊(R.H. Wilson)提出了经济订货批量(Economic Order Quantity,EOQ)的计算公式。
该公式是以库存费用模型作为基础得出的,其奠定了现代库存管理理论的基础,从经济的视角研究了确定最佳订货数量的方法。
在这一经典的模型被研究出来的基础上,许多学者又从不同角度出发,对这一经典模型进行了扩展,比如1989年,Pan构造了生产系统最优订货量和最优生产批量模型;1995年,WengZ.Kevin通过研究买方利益,提出与研究数量的折扣等相关的内容。
1999年,H.Jchang,CYDyed将该模型从随机供应能力的视角下进行进一步发展;而2003年,DavePiaseck研究了最优化的经济订货批量(EOQ)的问题。
彼得·德鲁克提出的“经济链”可谓是供应链理论的“开山鼻祖”,之后迈克尔·波特由此演化出了“价值链”的概念。
现在被我们熟知的供应链相关概念也是由前二者的基础上发展而来的,主要是指由制造商、供应商、配送中心和渠道商等共同组成的一条完整的物流网络。
它强调的是一种供应链运作达到最优化状态,在这种最有状态下,企业以最少的成本,满足最终客户,强调的是整个过程。
周红燕(2015)在《企业存货管理存在的主要问题及对策》中指出,存货管理是企业的一个重要的组成部分,企业的存货管理水平会对企业的生产经营情况造成影响。
目前,我国多数企业在存货管理都存在许多问题,就超市在存货管理上问题进行分析并提出解决方案。
曹玉婷,魏敏(2016)在《企业存货管理中及对策研究》中指出,存货管理的成功与否关系到企业能否在激烈的市场竞争中获得立足之地,企业需要降低存货管理成本,降低经营风险,提高企业资产利用效率,进而提高资产盈利能力,其文章从企业存货管理中存在的问题入手,给出关于存货管理的应对策略。

Automated inventory management systems can help facilitate this monitoring process, providing up-to-date information on stock levels, order status, and more.In addition to managing inbound inventory, businesses must also focus on outbound logistics. This involves coordinating the fulfillment of customer orders, including picking, packing, and shipping. By optimizing these processes, businesses can reduce order processing times and improve customer satisfaction.Finally, continuous improvement is essential for maintaining a balanced flow process in inventory management. By regularly reviewing and analyzing key performance metrics, such as inventory turnover and fill rate, businesses can identify areas for improvement and implement strategies to address them. This may involve refining forecasting models, renegotiating supplier contracts, or investing in new technology.In conclusion, achieving a balanced flow process in inventory management requires careful planning, coordination, and execution across all stages of the supply chain. By accurately forecasting demand, optimizing ordering and storage processes, monitoring inventory levels in real-time, optimizing outbound logistics, and continuously improving performance, businesses can maximize efficiency, reduce costs, and ultimately enhance profitability.。
储备管理岗英语
储备管理岗英语Inventory management is a critical function in any organization that deals with the production, distribution, or sale of physical goods. The role of an inventory management professional is to ensure that the right amount of inventory is available at the right time to meet customer demand while minimizing the costs associated with holding excess inventory. This essay will explore the key responsibilities and skills required for an effective inventory management role.One of the primary responsibilities of an inventory management professional is to develop and implement inventory control systems. This involves forecasting demand, determining optimal inventory levels, and establishing procedures for ordering, receiving, and storing inventory. Effective forecasting requires analyzing historical sales data, understanding seasonal trends, and incorporating information about upcoming promotions or new product launches. Based on this analysis, the inventory manager can determine the appropriate safety stock levels to ensure that stockouts are minimized while avoiding the costs of holding excessive inventory.In addition to forecasting and ordering, inventory managers are responsible for monitoring and controlling the flow of goods through the supply chain. This includes tracking inventory levels, identifying and addressing any discrepancies between physical and recorded inventory, and optimizing the storage and handling of goods to minimize damage, spoilage, or obsolescence. Inventory managers must also coordinate with other departments, such as production, purchasing, and sales, to ensure that inventory is aligned with customer demand and production schedules.Another critical aspect of the inventory management role is the implementation and maintenance of inventory management systems. This may involve selecting and configuring software or databases to track inventory levels, monitor stock movements, and generate reports. Inventory managers must also ensure that these systems are integrated with other enterprise systems, such as enterprise resource planning (ERP) or customer relationship management (CRM) platforms, to provide a comprehensive view of the organization's supply chain.Effective inventory management also requires strong analytical and problem-solving skills. Inventory managers must be able to interpret data, identify trends and patterns, and make informed decisions to optimize inventory levels and minimize costs. This may involveconducting ABC analysis to prioritize the management of high-value or high-turnover items, implementing just-in-time (JIT) or lean manufacturing principles to reduce waste, or developing strategies to manage the risks associated with supplier reliability or market volatility.In addition to technical skills, inventory managers must also possess strong communication and interpersonal skills. They must be able to collaborate with cross-functional teams, negotiate with suppliers, and provide clear and concise reports to management. Effective inventory management often requires balancing the needs and priorities of different stakeholders, such as production, sales, and finance, and the inventory manager must be able to navigate these competing interests effectively.Finally, inventory managers must stay up-to-date with industry trends, best practices, and regulatory requirements. This may involve participating in professional development activities, such as attending industry conferences or completing relevant certifications, as well as staying informed about changes in supply chain management, logistics, or inventory control technologies.In conclusion, the role of an inventory management professional is a complex and multifaceted one, requiring a diverse set of technical, analytical, and interpersonal skills. Effective inventory management isessential for ensuring the smooth and efficient flow of goods through the supply chain, and inventory managers play a critical role in optimizing inventory levels, reducing costs, and meeting customer demand. As organizations continue to face increasing pressure to improve supply chain efficiency and responsiveness, the importance of skilled inventory management professionals will only continue to grow.。

存货管理外文翻译(可编辑)存货管理外文翻译外文翻译inventory managementMaterial Source: spring link Author: Floyd D. Hedrick“Inventory” to many small business owners is one of the morevisible and tangible aspects of doing business. Raw materials, goods in process and finished goods all represent various forms of inventory. Each type represents money Tied up until the inventory leaves the company as purchased products. Likewise, merchandise stocks in a retail store contribute to profits only when their sale puts money into the cash register. In a literal sense, inventory refers to stocks of anything necessary to do business. These stocks represent a largeportion of the business investment and must be well managed in order to imize profits. In fact, many small businesses cannot absorb the types of losses arising from poor inventory management. Unless inventories are controlled, they are unreliable, inefficient and costly SUCCESSFUL INVENTORY MANAGEMENTSuccessful inventory management involves balancing the costs of inventory with the benefits of inventory. Many small business ownersfail to appreciate fully the true costs of carrying inventory, which include not only direct costs of storage, insurance and taxes, but also the costof money tied up in inventory. This fine line between keeping too much inventory and not enough is not the manager's only concern. Others include: Maintaining a wide assortment of stock -- but not spreading the rapidly moving ones too thin; Increasing inventory turnover -- but not sacrificing the service level; Keeping stock low -- but not sacrificing service or performance. Obtaining lower prices by making volume purchases -- but not ending up with slow-moving inventory; and having an adequate inventory on hand -- but not getting caught with obsolete items The degree of success in addressing these concerns is easier to gaugefor some than for others. For example, computing the inventory turnover ratio is a simple measure of managerial performance. This value gives a rough guideline by which managers can set goals and evaluate performance, but it must be realized that the turnover rate varies with the function of inventory, the type of business and how the ratio is calculated whether on sales or cost of goods sold. Average inventory turnoverratios for individual industries can be obtained from trade associations THE PURCHASING PLANOne of the most important aspects of inventory control is to havethe items in stock at the moment they are needed. This includes goinginto the market to buy the goods early enough to ensure delivery at the proper time. Thus, buying requires advance planning to determine inventory needs for each time period and then making the commitments without procrastination For retailers, planning ahead is very crucial. Sincethey offer new items for sale months before the actual calendar date for the beginning of the new season, it is imperative that buying plans be formulated early enough to allow for intelligent buying without any last minute panic purchases. The main reason for this early offering for sale of new items is that the retailer regards the calendar date for the beginning of the new season as the merchandise date for the end of the old season. For example, many retailers view March 21 as the end of the spring season, June 21 as the end of summer and December 21 as the end of winter Part of your purchasing plan must include accounting for the depletion of the inventory. Before a decision can be made as to thelevel of inventory to order, you must determine how long the inventory you have in stock will last For instance, a retail firm must formulate a plan to ensure the sale of the greatest number of units. Likewise, a manufacturing business must formulate a plan to ensure enough inventory is on hand for production of a finished product In summary, the purchasing plan detail: When commitments should be placed; When thefirst delivery should be received; When the inventory should be peaked; When reorders should no longer be placed; and When the item should no longer be in stock Well planned purchases affect the price, delivery and availability of products for sale CONTROLLING YOUR INVENTORY To maintain an in-stock position of wanted items and to dispose of unwanted items, it is necessary to establish adequate controls over inventory on order and inventory in stock. There are several proven methods for inventory control. They are listed below, from simplest tomost complex. Visual control enables the manager to examine the inventory visually to determine if additional inventory is required. In very small businesses where this method is used, records may not be needed at all or only for slow moving or expensive items. Ticklercontrol enables the manager to physically count a small portion of the inventory each day so that each segment of the inventory is counted every so many days on a regular basis. Click sheet control enables the manager to record the item as it is used on a sheet of paper. Such information is then used for reorder purposes. Stub control used by retailers enables the manager to retain a portion of the price ticket when the item is sold. The manager can then use the stub to record the item that was sold As a business grows, it may find a need for a more sophisticated and technical form of inventory control. Today, the use of computer systems to control inventory is far more feasible for small business than ever before, both through the widespread existence of computer service organizations and the decreasing cost of small-sized computers. Often the justification for such a computer-based system is enhanced by the fact that company accounting and billing procedures can also be handled on the computer Point-of-sale terminals relay information on each item used or sold. The manager receives information printouts at regular intervals for review and actionOff-line point-of-sale terminals relay information directly to the supplier's computer who uses the information to ship additional items automatically to the buyer/inventory manager The final method forinventory control is done by an outside agency. A manufacturer's representative visits the large retailer on a scheduled basis, takes the stock count and writes the reorder. Unwanted merchandise is removed from stock and returned to the manufacturer through a predetermined, authorized procedure A principal goal for many of the methods described above is to determine the minimum possible annual cost of ordering and stocking each item. Two major control values are used: 1 the order quantity, that is, the size and frequency of order; and 2 the reorder point, that is, the minimum stock level at which additional quantities are ordered. The Economic Order Quantity EOQ formula is one widely used method of computing the minimum annual cost for ordering and stocking each item. The EOQ computation takes into account the cost of placing an order, the annual sales rate, the unit cost, and the cost of carrying inventory. Many books on management practices describe the EOQ model in detail DEVELOPMENTS IN INVENTORY MANAGEMENTIn recent years, two approaches have had a major impact on inventory management: Material Requirements Planning MRP and Just-In-Time JIT and Kanban. Their application is primarily within manufacturing but suppliers might find new requirements placed on themand sometimes buyers of manufactured items will experience a difference in delivery Material requirements planning is basically an information system in which sales are converted directly into loads on the facility by sub-unit and time period. Materials are scheduled more closely, thereby reducing inventories, and delivery times become shorterand more predictable. Its primary use is with products composed of many components. MRP systems are practical for smaller firms. The computer system is only one part of the total project which is usually long-term, taking one to three years to develop Just-in-time inventory managementis an approach which works to eliminate inventories rather than optimize them. The inventory of raw materials and work-in-process falls to that needed in a single day. This is accomplished by reducing set-up timesand lead times so that small lots may be ordered. Suppliers may have to make several deliveries a day or move close to the user plants tosupport this plan TIPS FOR BETTER INVENTORY MANAGEMENTAt time of delivery. Verify count -- Make sure you are receiving as many cartons as are listed on the delivery receipt. Carefully examine each carton for visible damage -- If damage is visible, note it on the delivery receipt and have the driver sign your copy. After delivery, immediately open all cartons and inspect for merchandise damage When damage is discovered: Retain damaged items -- All damaged materials must be held at the point received. Call carrier to report damage and request inspection. Confirm call in writing--This is not mandatory but it is one way to protect yourself Carrier inspection of damaged items. Haveall damaged items in the receiving area -- Make certain the damageditems have not moved from the receiving area prior to inspection by carrier. After carrier /inspector prepares damage report, carefully read before signing After inspection: Keep damaged materials? Damaged materials should not be used or disposed of without permission by thecarrier. Do not return damaged items without written authorization from shipper/supplier SPECIAL TIPS FOR MANUFACTURERSIf you are in the business of bidding, specifications play a very important role. In writing specifications, the following elements should be considered. Do not request features or quality that are not necessary for the items' intended use. Include full descriptions of any testing to be performedInclude procedures for adding optional items. Describe the quality of the items in clear terms The following actions can help save money when you are stocking inventory: Substitution of less costly materials without impairing required quality; Improvement in quality or changes in specifications that would lead to savings in process time or other operating savings; Developing new sources of supply; Greater use of bulk shipments; Quantity savings due to large volume, through consideration of economic order quantity; A reduction in unit prices due to negotiations;Initiating make-or-buy studies: Application of new purchasingtechniques; Using competition along with price, service and delivery whenmaking the purchase selection decision.译文存货管理资料来源:spring link作者:Floyd D.

库存管理英文作文
库存管理英文作文英文:Inventory management is a crucial aspect of any business, as it directly impacts the company'sprofitability and customer satisfaction. Effective inventory management involves maintaining the right balance of stock to meet customer demand while minimizing the costs associated with holding excess inventory.One of the key strategies in inventory management is to use a just-in-time (JIT) approach, which involves ordering and receiving inventory only when it is needed for production or sales. This helps to reduce the amount of capital tied up in inventory and minimizes the risk of holding obsolete or perishable stock. For example, in my previous role at a retail company, we implemented a JIT system for our fast-moving consumer goods, such astoiletries and snacks. By doing so, we were able to reduce our inventory carrying costs and improve our cash flow.Another important aspect of inventory management is accurate forecasting and demand planning. By analyzing historical sales data and market trends, businesses can better predict future demand and adjust their inventory levels accordingly. For instance, at a clothing store I worked at, we used sales data from previous years to anticipate seasonal demand for certain items, such as winter coats and summer dresses. This allowed us to stock up on these items in advance and avoid stockouts during peak seasons.In addition to JIT and demand planning, technology also plays a significant role in modern inventory management. Many companies use advanced inventory management software to track stock levels, monitor product movement, and automate replenishment processes. This not only improves efficiency but also reduces the likelihood of human error. In my current role at a manufacturing company, we utilize a sophisticated inventory management system that integrates with our production schedule and sales orders, allowing us to have real-time visibility of our inventory levels andmake informed decisions.中文:库存管理是任何企业的重要组成部分,它直接影响着公司的盈利能力和客户满意度。
存货管理研究英文文献
存货管理研究英文文献Inventory Management Research LiteratureInventory management is a crucial aspect of any business that involves the management of goods or products. This process involves recording, tracking, and updating the level of stock that an organization has. Effective inventory management ensures that a business maintains optimal stock levels, reduces the risk of stockouts, and avoids overstocking, which can lead to the wastage of resources. This article will examine the available research literature that relates to inventory management.Inventory ModelsInventory models refer to mathematical models that are used to determine the optimal order quantity and reorder points in inventory management. There are various types of inventory models, including EOQ (Economic Order Quantity) and the ROP (Reorder Point) model. The EOQ model is used to determine the most efficient order quantity for a particular inventory item, while the ROP model is used to determine the point at which to reorder inventory. Research has shown that organizations that use inventory models have a better chance of reducing their holding costs, improving customer satisfaction, and increasing operational efficiency.Inventory Management SystemsInventory management systems are software programs that help businesses monitor and control their inventory levels. The systems provide real-time data on stock levels, reorder points, and inventory turnover. Research shows that inventorymanagement systems help organizations reduce the risks of stockouts, improve order fulfillment, and reduce inventory costs. Additionally, the systems help organizations optimize their inventory levels, which helps them reduce the amount of capital they need to invest in inventory.Just-In-Time (JIT) Inventory ManagementJust-In-Time (JIT) inventory management is a production strategy that aims to minimize inventory levels by producing products only when needed. This approach enablesorganizations to reduce inventory levels, increaseoperational efficiency, and optimize production processes. Research has shown that JIT inventory management can help organizations reduce their inventory holding costs by up to 30%, improve productivity, and increase customer satisfaction.ABC AnalysisABC analysis is a technique used to categorize inventory items based on their value. The technique divides inventory into three categories: A-items, B-items, and C-items. A-items are high-value items that account for the majority of an organization's inventory value. B-items are medium-value items, while C-items are low-value items that make up thebulk of the inventory. Research shows that ABC analysis helps organizations prioritize their inventory management efforts, reduce inventory holding costs, and optimize inventory levels.ConclusionEffective inventory management is essential for any business that deals with physical products or goods. The available research literature shows that various methodologies, tools, and techniques can help organizations optimize their inventory levels, reduce costs, and improve customer satisfaction. Organizations should consider adoptinginventory management systems, using inventory models, implementing JIT inventory management, and leveraging ABC analysis to optimize their inventory management practices.。

存货管理外文文献
What is Inventory Management什么是库存管理Effective inventory management is all about knowing what is on hand, where it is in use, and how much finished product results.Inventory management is the process of efficiently overseeing the constant flow of units into and out of an existing inventory. This process usually involves controlling the transfer in of units in order to prevent the inventory from becoming too high, or dwindling to levels that could put the operation of the company into jeopardy. Competent inventory management also seeks to control the costs associated with the inventory, both from the perspective of the total value of the goods included and the tax burden generated by the cumulative value of the inventory.Balancing the various tasks of inventory management means paying attention to three key aspects of any inventory. The first aspect has to do with time. In terms of materials acquired for inclusion in the total inventory, this means understanding how long it takes for a supplier to process an order and execute a delivery. Inventory management also demands that a solid understanding of how long it will take for those materials to transfer out of the inventory be established. Knowing these two important lead times makes it possible to know when to place an order and how many units must be ordered to keep production running smoothly.Calculating what is known as buffer stock is also key to effective inventory management. Essentially, buffer stock is additional units above and beyond the minimum number required to maintain production levels. For example, the manager may determine that it would be a good idea to keep one or two extra units of a given machine part on hand, just in case an emergency situation arises or one of the units proves to be defective once installed. Creating this cushion or buffer helps to minimize the chance for production to be interrupted due to a lack of essential parts in the operation supply inventory.Inventory management is not limited to documenting the delivery of raw materials and the movement of those materials into operational process. The movement of those materials as they go through the various stages of the operation is also important. Typically known as a goods or work in progress inventory, tracking materials as they are used to create finished goods also helps to identify the need to adjust ordering amounts before the raw materials inventory gets dangerously low or is inflated to an unfavorable level.。

企业库存管理详述(英文版)
企业库存管理详述(英文版)Inventory management is a critical aspect of running a successful business. It involves effectively tracking, controlling, and organizing the inventory within a company. This comprehensive process ensures that the right products are available at the right time, in the right quantity, and at the right location.Effective inventory management helps businesses in multiple ways. First and foremost, it prevents stockouts and overstock situations. Stockouts can hurt customer satisfaction and lead to lost sales opportunities, while overstocking ties up a company's working capital and increases storage and holding costs. By maintaining optimal inventory levels, businesses are better able to meet customer demand while minimizing carrying costs.To achieve efficient inventory management, companies employ various techniques. One common technique is implementing an automated inventory tracking system. This system uses barcode scanning or radio-frequency identification (RFID) technology to accurately record all outgoing and incoming inventory. Real-time data is then accessible through a centralized database, allowing for timely decision-making.Another effective method is forecasting demand based on historical sales data, market trends, and seasonality. By understanding customer demand patterns, businesses can plan their inventory levels accordingly. This helps avoid overstocking during slow periods and stockouts during peak seasons. Additionally, utilizing just-in-time (JIT) inventory management can help reduce storage costs by ordering inventory only when needed.Categorizing inventory is also vital for efficient management. By classifying items based on their demand and profitability, businesses can prioritize their inventory levels and focus on fast-moving, high-margin products. This helps optimize the use of limited storage space and capital investment.Additionally, implementing a robust inventory control policy is crucial. This includes setting reorder points and safety stock levels to ensure timely replenishment. Regular cycle counts and periodic audits help identify any discrepancies between system records and physical stock and enable prompt corrective actions. Proper documentation of inventory transactions is essential to maintaining accurate records and preventing theft or pilferage.Technology plays a vital role in modern inventory management. Software systems with advanced features, such as real-time dashboards and analytical tools, provide businesses with comprehensive insights into their inventory performance. This allows for better inventory planning, optimization, and decision-making.In conclusion, effective inventory management is crucial for businesses to thrive. It involves implementing automated tracking systems, forecasting demand, categorizing inventory, and setting up robust control measures. By employing these strategies and utilizing technology, companies can enhance their inventory management processes, reduce costs, and improve customer satisfaction.在继续讨论相关内容之前,我们可以先详细了解一下为什么有效的库存管理对于企业的成功至关重要。

Vilfredo Pareto
• The “Pareto Principle” refers to the 80:20 rule discovered by Vilfredo Pareto, who studied wealth distribution in Milan. • The idea behind it is that 80% of the wealth is owned by 20% of the people, and it is as true now as it was in the 18th Century. • The Pareto effect is also common in many management applications. The ABC inventory classification system exploits the Pareto principle and can be used to separate out the few important items from the many trivial items.
– General aim. Reduce variability in quality, quantity and delivery time to reduce raw material inventory
• Work In Progress (WIP) is components or raw material that is in the process of being changed into finished goods.
©2009-3. Stephen Disney.
The purpose of inventory
• To provide a selection for customers to pick product from, thus stopping the customer experiencing the supply lead-time • To decouple or separate various parts of the production process or the supply chain • To buffer the firm from fluctuations and uncertainty in demand and supply • To take advantage of quantity discounts • To hedge against inflation and upward price changes

Overview: Inventory Analysis
• What is inventory?
– important when suppliers offer volume to increase sales
• The Economic Production Quantity (EPQ)
– Finiteg inventory service • The re-order point model
• ABC analysis is a technique for classifying inventory. • It is useful for identifying different classes of inventory so that they may be managed appropriately. • ABC analysis divides inventory into three categories, A, B and C based on the Annual Monetary Volume.

Example: The ABC calculation 1
• The following table gives the annual demand and unit cost of inventory in a company. • Conduct an ABC analysis on this data

– What is it used for?
• ABC analysis
– Which items are important from a manager’s viewpoint?
• Economic Order Quantity (EOQ)
– How much should we order?
• The EOQ model with volume discounts
– Reducing the time to produce goods reduces the amount of WIP inventory

Types of inventory 2
• Maintenance / Repair / Operating (MRO) inventories are used to keep machinery and processes productive
ABC Analysis
• Many companies have tens or hundreds of thousands of SKU’s and it is impossible to implement SKU specific inventory control policies for each item individually so we separate them out into groups using ABC analysis. • Basic idea is to establish inventory policies that focus resources on the few most critical parts (components) and not on the trivial many • To do this we determine the Annual Monetary Volume (AMV) for each part.
– Finished goods exist because future customer demands are not known.

Inventory tools: ABC Analysis
– Exists because the time when machines break-down and need maintenance is not entirely predictable. – Usually found in front of a bottleneck machine
• Finished goods inventory is complete product awaiting shipment to the customer.
Annual Monetary Volume = Annual demand Unit cost
• Then we rank all the parts, highest annual monetary volume to lowest monetary volume
