Based on the present condition of inventory theories and practical application throughout domestic and abroad, thesis illustrates the concept of integrated supply chain and explains the applying characteristics and advantages of inventory control about it. It also analyses the development tendency in future. The thesis investigates and analyses uncertain factors which result in inventory existence and affect inventory,and offers efficient resolutions from perspectives of the production,function,cost,influence factors of inventory.It analyses the implemental qualifications and aims on inventory rationalization in integrated supply chain,and puts forward a pattern of modular inventory management .According to the different shapes of materials in management links,this pattern is divided into inventory module of raw material/exo-purchasing details,articles being processed and finished goods.Thesis does analysis of inventory rationalization on each module and gives some applying suggestions which prompt inventory rationalization.Finally,applying the framework of routinization and circulation,the thesis approaches the realization of inventory rationalization in the whole system overally.
With the help of information technology,the applying of inventory rationalization under integrated supply chain is a huge project.It needs large investment of funds.The research object of the thesis is the integrated supply chain system,whose core enterprise is the large- scale manufacturer.
The research of the thesis has important theoratical and practical significance.In theory, it puts forward the conception of integrated supply chain based on information technology and offers an applying pattern in which modularization combines bottleneck theory closely and comprehensively about inventory rationalization .In practice,it has important economical and social significance for enterprises to make inventory management and maintain the smoothiness of activities.
