Review on Inventory Controlling of Building Materials Supply Chain from Uncertainty Demands in Civil Engineering

Abstract:

Inventory control is a necessary strategy that enterprises use to offset the effect of uncertainties in manufacturing, supply and demand. Normally, probability distribution is used to analyze the uncertainty problems, however, this analysis can’t be completed with inadequate data, resulting in an increase in inventory costs. The paper establishes inventory cost models of single supply chain member under uncertainty demands and applies Simulated Annealing Algorithm to imitate the models in 52 weeks to seek for the optimal speaking for amount and anew speaking for point so that compares the difference of supply chain total inventory cost and the sufficing rate of order for goods between independently and collaborated controlling strategy in supply chain, and in order to provide the necessary theoretical supports for the enterprises to establish supply chain partnerships and possibly improve the supply chain capability of providing external integration.
