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.
