Inventory Management
本课程深入研究库存管理的理论模型与实践方法。内容涵盖库存的功能与分类、库存成本分析（持有成本、订货成本、缺货成本）、确定性库存模型（EOQ经济订货批量、EPQ生产批量）、随机性库存模型（报童模型、安全库存计算、服务水平）、物料需求计划（MRP）、联合库存管理、供应商管理库存（VMI）、ABC分类管理、周期盘点与库存准确性、牛鞭效应等主题。学生将掌握多种库存优化方法和定量分析工具。
This course provides in-depth study of inventory management theory and practice. Topics include inventory functions and classification, inventory cost analysis (holding, ordering, stockout costs), deterministic models (EOQ, EPQ), stochastic models (newsvendor model, safety stock, service levels), MRP, joint inventory management, VMI, ABC analysis, cycle counting, and the bullwhip effect. Students master various inventory optimization methods and quantitative analysis tools.
选择一家零售或批发企业，收集其10种以上产品的历史销售数据、订货成本、持有成本和缺货成本数据。对需求分布进行拟合检验，针对不同产品特性选择合适的库存策略（连续盘点、定期盘点、报童模型等）。建立库存优化模型，计算经济订货批量、再订货点和安全库存量。对比优化前后的库存总成本和服务水平，提出具体的库存管理改进建议。提交包含数据分析、模型建立、结果对比的完整报告。
Select a retail or wholesale company and collect historical sales data, ordering costs, holding costs, and stockout costs for 10+ products. Fit demand distributions and select appropriate inventory strategies (continuous review, periodic review, newsvendor) based on product characteristics. Build optimization models to calculate EOQ, reorder points, and safety stock levels. Compare total inventory costs and service levels before and after optimization, with specific improvement recommendations.
