ABSTRACT: Multi-echelon inventory control is the core issue in supply chain.
Firstly, we summarize the current research status of multi-echelon inventory
control by using Citispace which is the scientific knowledge map visualization
analysis software. Second, two strategies of multi-echelon inventory
optimization and control are analyzed. Then, multi-echelon inventory control
problem is divided into three strategies, namely multi-echelon multi-node
inventory control strategy, multi-echelon single-node inventory control
strategy, and transshipment-based multi-echelon multi-node inventory control
strategy, and comparative analysis. Finally, we point out future development
trend.
