Research on the algorithms and key factors in optimizing supply chain inventory

The paper reviews the technology and methods used in optimizing supply chain inventory, and summarizes the common inventory optimization algorithms - the mathematical analysis and heuristic algorithms. At last, it points out the several key factors of optimizing supply chain inventory - the lead time, the credit of enterprises and the fuzzy level of some parameters during the optimization process, and indicates its trends.
