Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The embodiments of this disclosure relate to the field of supply chain inventory management technology, and more specifically, the embodiments of this disclosure relate to a supply chain strategy determination method, medium, apparatus and computing device. Background Technology
[0002] This section is intended to provide background or context for the embodiments of this disclosure as set forth in the claims. The description herein is not intended to be a prior art simply because it is included in this section.
[0003] With the development of e-commerce and the improvement of people's living standards, consumers have higher requirements for the quality and response speed of e-commerce logistics and delivery services. In the e-commerce field, the supply chain mainly includes e-commerce platforms, retail stores on e-commerce platforms, suppliers, warehouses, and logistics providers.
[0004] In e-commerce logistics and delivery, the entire supply chain process involves upstream suppliers setting up directly operated stores or brand retail stores on e-commerce platforms. Consumers place orders on these platforms, which then forward the orders to third-party logistics companies for storage and transportation. The product flow process involves upstream suppliers' production facilities entering the third-party logistics companies' warehouses in various locations before the products are shipped out to consumers according to the orders.
[0005] Among these factors, the timing of warehouse orders and the quantity of different types of goods stored have the greatest impact on the overall performance of the entire supply chain. Therefore, accurately assessing supply chain strategies is crucial for ensuring the performance of the entire supply chain.
[0006] However, the end-to-end supply chain strategy is affected by multiple factors such as demand uncertainty, logistics uncertainty, supplier uncertainty, and inventory cycle. Moreover, the time cycle is long and the amount of calculation is huge. In actual operation, it is impossible to uniformly calculate the end-to-end strategy, which makes it difficult to control the overall performance of the supply chain in the entire region. Summary of the Invention

[0045] The principles and spirit of this disclosure will now be described with reference to several exemplary embodiments. It should be understood that these embodiments are given merely to enable those skilled in the art to better understand and implement this disclosure, and are not intended to limit the scope of this disclosure in any way. Rather, these embodiments are provided to make this disclosure more thorough and complete, and to fully convey the scope of this disclosure to those skilled in the art.
[0046] Those skilled in the art will recognize that embodiments of this disclosure can be implemented as a system, apparatus, device, method, or computer program product. Therefore, this disclosure can be specifically implemented in the following forms: entirely hardware, entirely software (including firmware, resident software, microcode, etc.), or a combination of hardware and software.
[0047] According to embodiments of this disclosure, a supply chain strategy determination method, medium, apparatus, and computing device are proposed.
[0048] In this document, it should be understood that the terminology used is for convenience of understanding only and does not imply any limitation on its meaning. Furthermore, any number of elements in the accompanying drawings is for illustrative purposes only and not for limitation, and any naming is for distinction only and has no limiting meaning.
[0049] The following is a description of the terminology used in this disclosure:
[0050] Strategy parameter group: A collection of strategy parameters in each link of the supply chain. The strategy parameters are specific input values. By using the strategy parameters corresponding to each link (such as replenishment frequency), the supply chain strategy corresponding to each link (such as the strategy of the supplier link) can be determined.
[0051] Target Strategy Types: Different stages of the supply chain will have different objectives, which are called target strategy types. For example, the target strategy type for a warehouse might be to reduce the storage time of goods while ensuring a complete range of product types. Conversely, the target strategy type for a supplier only needs to consider delivery time or quantity, without needing to consider the storage conditions of goods in the warehouse.
[0052] The principles and spirit of this disclosure will be explained in detail below with reference to several representative embodiments. Invention Overview
[0054] The inventors have discovered that in current technology, logistics and distribution fields such as e-commerce rely heavily on the performance of the warehouse-centric supply chain. When the supply chain is efficient, goods sent by suppliers arrive at the warehouse in a timely and sufficient manner and are promptly delivered to the corresponding consumers, with shorter storage times. Conversely, when the supply chain is inefficient, the warehouse cannot replenish goods in a timely or sufficient manner, and goods cannot be delivered to consumers promptly, while goods also remain in the warehouse for excessively long periods. Therefore, determining appropriate supply chain strategies to optimize supply chain efficiency is of great significance to logistics and distribution fields such as e-commerce.
[0055] Since the entire supply chain includes multiple links from supplier delivery and warehouse receiving to external delivery, and each link has different strategy parameters, existing technologies usually model each link separately to determine the supply chain strategy for each link. This results in the strategy parameters of each link being relatively independent and the calculation cycle being long. When there is an error in a link, the overall error will be rapidly amplified due to the existence of multiple links, which severely limits reliability.
[0056] In this solution, key supply chain data across the entire chain are incorporated into the calculation, and a set of strategy parameters covering each link in the entire chain is used for evaluation to determine the supply chain strategy across the entire chain. This approach is highly efficient, has minimal error, and is highly reliable.
[0057] After introducing the basic principles of this disclosure, various non-limiting embodiments of this disclosure will be described in detail below.
[0058] Application Scenarios Overview
[0059] First refer to Figure 1 As shown, in the supply chain, warehouse 100 determines the frequency and quantity of goods to be obtained from supplier 110 based on the supply chain strategy, as well as the quantity and duration of goods stored in warehouse 100, and the speed and quantity of goods shipped to retailer 120 or user 130, thereby completing the logistics and distribution process of the supply chain.
[0060] It should be noted that, Figure 1 The scenario shown uses only one warehouse, supplier, goods, retailer, and user as an example for illustration, but this disclosure is not limited to this. That is to say, the number of warehouses, suppliers, goods, retailers, and users can be arbitrary.
[0061] Exemplary methods
[0062] The following is combined Figure 1 Application scenarios, refer to Figures 2 to 4 This document describes a method for determining supply chain strategies according to exemplary embodiments of the present disclosure. It should be noted that the above application scenarios are shown only to facilitate understanding of the spirit and principles of the present disclosure, and the embodiments of the present disclosure are not limited in any way. Rather, the embodiments of the present disclosure can be applied to any applicable scenario.
[0063] Figure 2 A flowchart illustrating a supply chain strategy determination method provided in one embodiment of this disclosure. Figure 2 As shown, the supply chain strategy determination method provided in this embodiment includes the following steps:
[0064] Step S201: Based on the target strategy type, input the key supply chain data and the preset strategy parameter group into the simulation model of the target strategy type, and output the inventory characteristic data.
[0065] Among them, key supply chain data includes historical supply chain indicator data, current inventory data, and forecasted sales data, while the strategy parameter group is used to represent the strategy parameters corresponding to the set links in the supply chain.
[0066] Specifically, because the factors and objectives considered by the target strategy type selected from different stages vary—for example, from the perspective of a retailer or user, the frequency of supplier shipments does not need to be considered, while from the supplier's perspective, the storage time of goods in the warehouse does not need to be considered—the model parameters of the simulation models corresponding to different target strategy types will differ. In practical use, it is necessary to first determine the target strategy to be analyzed, and then select the corresponding preset strategy parameter set based on the simulation model of that target strategy type for calculation.
[0067] The preset strategy parameter set consists of strategy parameters for each link initially determined based on key data of the supply chain. The preset strategy parameter set and key data of the supply chain are substituted into the simulation model for calculation. The feasibility of the preset strategy parameter set is evaluated based on the calculation results. If it is not feasible, the preset strategy parameter set is adjusted based on the evaluation results and substituted into the simulation model again for calculation until the adjusted strategy parameter set passes the evaluation.
[0068] The strategy parameters corresponding to each link in the preset strategy parameter group can be determined based on historical strategy parameter groups and key supply chain data. For example, if the sales volume of a certain product is around 3,000 units in the first quarter of each year, and the sales volume is average in each month, then the replenishment frequency in the strategy parameters corresponding to this product in the first quarter can be preset to once a month, and the minimum replenishment quantity can be preset to 1,000 units. Alternatively, if the current inventory data shows that the inventory of this product is 1,800 units, then the preset replenishment frequency can be set to once every 1.5 months, and the minimum replenishment quantity for each replenishment can be preset to 600 units.
[0069] The setup process can have different components depending on the division method, but it usually includes at least three links: supplier, warehouse, and consumer. The warehouse link can also be replaced by a distribution company. Retailers can also be included between the warehouse and the consumer, and manufacturers can also be included between the supplier and the warehouse. Each link has different strategy parameters, so they need to be discussed separately.
[0070] Inventory characteristic data corresponds to the current inventory data and represents the inventory data output by the simulation model after the end of the current period. It includes indicators such as the quantity of various goods stored in the warehouse and the storage time, and may also include advanced indicator data such as inventory fluctuation and stockout probability (which can be calculated by changes in the quantity of goods stored and sales).
[0071] Step S202: Calculate the corresponding evaluation indicators based on inventory characteristic data.
[0072] Specifically, after determining the simulation model for the target strategy type, the key supply chain data and the preset strategy parameter set are input into the simulation model, which will output the corresponding inventory characteristic data. Since the supply chain duration to be calculated in actual applications usually involves multiple cycles (e.g., if the total duration is a whole year, each month can be considered as a cycle), after obtaining the inventory characteristic data at the end of the current cycle, if the duration to be calculated still includes uncalculated cycles, the inventory characteristic data, historical supply chain indicator data, and predicted sales data will be used together as new key supply chain data. This data will be combined with the preset strategy parameter set and substituted back into the simulation model to calculate the next cycle. This process continues until all cycles are completed, and the final output result is the final inventory characteristic data.
[0073] Based on the final inventory characteristic data, the corresponding evaluation indicators can be calculated, such as the average storage time of a certain commodity (or the average storage time of all commodities in the warehouse stage), to determine whether the requirements are met.
[0074] Step S203: Determine if the evaluation indicators meet the preset values, and determine the supply chain strategy based on the preset strategy parameter group, inventory characteristic data and target strategy type.
[0075] Specifically, each evaluation indicator has a preset threshold (i.e., preset value). If the evaluation indicator meets the preset value (e.g., the calculated inventory fluctuation index is 0.5, which is less than the preset value of 0.6, so it is considered to meet the preset value), it can be considered that the preset strategy parameter set can meet the requirements of the target strategy type. Then, the supply chain strategy corresponding to the target strategy type can be determined based on the strategy parameter set. For example, when the target strategy type is a replenishment strategy, based on the replenishment frequency parameter value of 100 units / week in the strategy parameter set, the corresponding supply chain strategy is to apply for 100 units of replenishment from the supplier every week.
[0076] If the evaluation index does not meet the preset value, the preset strategy parameter group needs to be readjusted and then substituted into steps S201 to S202 for recalculation. For example, if the calculated inventory fluctuation index is 0.9, which is greater than the preset value of 0.6, it is considered that the preset value is not met. At this time, the replenishment frequency in the preset strategy parameter group can be shortened and the calculation can be recalculated.
[0077] According to the supply chain strategy determination method of this disclosure, key supply chain data and a preset set of strategy parameters are input into a simulation model of the target strategy type. Inventory characteristic data is output, and corresponding evaluation indicators are calculated based on predicted inventory characteristic data to determine if the evaluation indicators meet preset values. The supply chain strategy is then determined based on the preset set of strategy parameters, inventory characteristic data, and the target strategy type. This method uses historical indicator data, current inventory data, and predicted sales data of the entire supply chain as input data for analysis, enabling unified calculation of decisions across the entire chain, rather than being limited to calculations of a single module. This allows a single model to calculate complex supply chain strategies across the entire chain, significantly improving computational efficiency. Furthermore, by combining with the preset set of strategy parameters, the strategy can be adjusted according to needs to obtain the optimal supply chain strategy, thereby ensuring the overall efficiency of the supply chain is optimized.
[0078] Figure 3 A flowchart illustrating a supply chain strategy determination method provided in one embodiment of this disclosure. Figure 3 As shown, the supply chain strategy determination method provided in this embodiment includes the following steps:
[0079] Step S301: Based on the target strategy type, input the key supply chain data and the preset strategy parameter group into the simulation model of the target strategy type to obtain the strategy output per unit time.
[0080] Among them, key supply chain data includes historical supply chain indicator data, current inventory data, and forecasted sales data, while the strategy parameter group is used to represent the strategy parameters corresponding to the set links in the supply chain.
[0081] Specifically, the unit duration is a portion of the total supply chain duration to be calculated, and different unit durations can be selected depending on the situation. For example, if the calculation object is a warehouse inventory balancing strategy during peak seasons (such as shopping festivals), the goods turnover is relatively fast, and the unit duration can be 24 hours or three days (when shipping within the same city, the flow from warehouse to consumer and from supplier to warehouse can be completed in 24 hours; while under normal shipping conditions, the flow between each link can be completed in 72 hours). After each unit duration, the corresponding inventory data is determined based on the strategy parameter group and key supply chain data.
[0082] Since the inventory data obtained at this point is not the final output inventory characteristic data, it is named the strategy output, corresponding to the target strategy type. For example, if the target strategy type is the retailer's or consumer's delivery strategy, the strategy output can be the ordering strategy output; if the target strategy type is the supplier's replenishment strategy, the strategy output can be the transportation strategy output; if the target strategy type is the warehouse's inventory balancing strategy, then the strategy output is the warehouse capacity strategy output.
[0083] Furthermore, historical supply chain indicator data includes at least one of the following: historical inventory data, historical sales data, historical inventory turnover data, historical inventory fluctuation data, and historical stockout rate for each type of commodity; current inventory data includes at least one of the following: current inventory commodity type, quantity, seasonal attributes, and inventory classification; and predicted sales data includes at least one of the following: predicted sales volume, predicted activity sales volume, and predicted activity data for each type of commodity.
[0084] Specifically, current inventory categories include physical categories (e.g., large items, fragile items) and sales categories (e.g., cosmetics, electronic items). Seasonal attributes are used to indicate the sales distribution of goods in different seasons; for example, Christmas trees typically only have high sales in the fourth quarter, with extremely low sales in the other three quarters. Inventory grading is used to indicate the storability of goods, such as whether they are perishable items or not, and whether they can be stored in large quantities (e.g., customized goods cannot be stored in large quantities). Forecasted sales include expected sales (e.g., expected sales of 200,000 copies for a certain audio-visual product) and possible sales based on historical data (e.g., the sales of a certain shampoo can be used directly as the possible sales for the next quarter). Forecasted event sales are used to indicate sales during expected events (e.g., shopping festival events). Forecasted event data includes possible events and business models (e.g., group buying or bulk ordering).
[0085] In one embodiment of this solution, the strategy parameter group includes at least one of the following: the replenishment frequency and procurement cycle corresponding to the warehouse, the minimum order quantity corresponding to the supplier, and the safety stock days corresponding to the product.
[0086] Specifically, the replenishment frequency and procurement cycle of the warehouse have a significant impact on inventory fluctuations, the minimum order quantity of the supplier has a significant impact on the delivery frequency, and the safety stock days of the goods (which can be the shelf life or the expected storage time, such as frozen goods, although the actual storage time is long, the expected storage time is usually short, because the value will decrease after long-term storage).
[0087] Step S302: Input the strategy output into the simulation model of the target strategy type to obtain the strategy output for the next unit of time.
[0088] Specifically, in the next unit of time, the strategy output, along with the preset strategy parameter set, historical supply chain indicator data, and predicted sales data, is input into the simulation model to obtain the strategy output for the next market.
[0089] Step S303: Repeat the step of obtaining the strategy output for the next unit of time until the total time corresponding to the strategy output is the set cycle length, and use the strategy output as the predicted inventory characteristic data.
[0090] Specifically, after completing the entire total time loop, the final strategy output is used as the final output inventory feature data.
[0091] In one embodiment of this solution, inventory characteristic data includes inventory data and sales data.
[0092] Specifically, inventory characteristic data includes inventory data such as the inventory quantity and inventory fluctuations of each product in the warehouse, as well as sales data of each product.
[0093] Step S304: Based on inventory data and sales data, calculate the stockout rate for each product in each warehouse.
[0094] Specifically, the most important evaluation metric is the stockout rate, because stockouts have the greatest impact on the supply chain. Therefore, the stockout rate for each product can be calculated based on inventory and sales data.
[0095] In one embodiment of this solution, in addition to the stockout rate, the inventory volatility and / or inventory turnover rate of the goods are also included. This is because when the inventory volatility is high, stockouts are more likely to occur, and supply chain strategies need to be improved. On the other hand, when the inventory turnover rate (used to assess the turnover time of goods in the warehouse stage) is high, goods are more likely to remain in the warehouse for a long time, and supply chain strategies also need to be improved.
[0096] Step S305: If the target strategy type is a replenishment strategy, calculate the replenishment quantity for the warehouse at each time point based on the preset strategy parameter group and inventory characteristic data.
[0097] Specifically, depending on the type of target strategy, the specific data required for determining the supply chain strategy will also differ. For replenishment strategies, the most important data is the replenishment quantity at each time point.
[0098] The time node can be the unit of time in the aforementioned calculation, or it can be a unit smaller or larger than the unit of time. For example, if the unit of time is every 72 hours, the time node can be 24 hours, 72 hours, or weekly. Because the time for the warehouse to ship out is uncertain, the time for it to apply for replenishment can be very short (such as when the shipment volume and frequency are large) or very long (such as during the off-season).
[0099] The replenishment quantity can be calculated using the replenishment frequency and procurement cycle in the strategy parameter group, as well as the current inventory quantity and predicted sales volume in the key supply chain data.
[0100] In one embodiment of this solution, the replenishment strategy includes not only the replenishment quantity but also the replenishment frequency. When the shipment quantity and timing of goods are not fixed (such as goods limited to specific holidays), a specific replenishment frequency will also be determined. For example, for mooncakes, the replenishment frequency may be once a week during the period of three months to one month before the Mid-Autumn Festival, and once every two weeks during the period of one month before the Mid-Autumn Festival (because most people will choose to buy in advance). After the Mid-Autumn Festival, replenishment may not be necessary, as there is usually no need for replenishment at this time.
[0101] Step S306: If the target strategy type is a delivery strategy, calculate the time node, replenishment time and corresponding warehouse that the supplier should replenish based on the preset strategy parameter group and inventory characteristic data.
[0102] Specifically, the delivery strategy is a target strategy type determined based on the needs of retailers or users. Since retailers and users cannot store goods, the calculations need to cover the supplier's replenishment status and the warehouse where the replenishment arrives, so that the warehouse can ship the goods promptly upon receiving the retailer's or user's request. Additionally, because retailers or users are time-sensitive, the replenishment time also needs to be determined (e.g., for goods requiring temporary processing by the supplier, replenishment may take several business days after receiving the order).
[0103] The replenishment time required for each product between different suppliers and different warehouses is usually different. Therefore, it is necessary to calculate the replenishment time accordingly, or to calculate the average time for the product between different suppliers and different warehouses.
[0104] The timing of replenishment, the time required, and the warehouse can be calculated using the replenishment frequency, procurement cycle, minimum order quantity for suppliers, and key supply chain data such as the seasonal attributes of current inventory, historical inventory fluctuation data, historical stockout rate, and predicted sales data.
[0105] Step S307: If the target strategy type is an inventory balancing strategy, determine the inventory quantity corresponding to each warehouse at each time point based on the preset strategy parameter group and inventory characteristic data.
[0106] Specifically, the inventory balancing strategy is a target strategy type determined based on the warehouse stage. Ideally, the warehouse should ensure that the inventory fluctuations are not too large and that there are no shortages of any goods. Therefore, it is necessary to calculate the inventory level of each warehouse and adjust the replenishment of goods in the warehouse based on the inventory level.
[0107] Inventory levels can be calculated using the replenishment frequency, safety stock days for each product, and key supply chain data such as current inventory quantity, historical inventory data, historical stockout rate, and projected sales.
[0108] According to the supply chain strategy determination method of this disclosure, key supply chain data and a preset set of strategy parameters are input into a simulation model of the target strategy type to obtain a strategy output per unit time. This strategy output is then input back into the simulation model, and the process is repeated until the entire time period ends. Based on the output results, the stockout rate of goods is calculated, and the corresponding supply chain strategy is determined according to the target strategy type. Therefore, a full-link supply chain strategy can be provided for complex supply chains. Furthermore, since it eliminates the need for separate discussions of each stage, it can handle large amounts of data as output, improving the reliability and accuracy of the output supply chain strategy.
[0109] Figure 4 A flowchart illustrating a supply chain strategy determination method provided in one embodiment of this disclosure. Figure 4 As shown, the supply chain strategy determination method provided in this embodiment includes the following steps:
[0110] Step S401: Based on the target strategy type, input the key supply chain data and the preset strategy parameter group into the simulation model of the target strategy type, and output the inventory characteristic data.
[0111] Among them, key supply chain data includes historical supply chain indicator data, current inventory data, and forecasted sales data, while the strategy parameter group is used to represent the strategy parameters corresponding to the set links in the supply chain.
[0112] Step S402: Calculate the corresponding evaluation indicators based on inventory characteristic data.
[0113] Specifically, steps S401 to S402 and Figure 2 Steps S201 to S202 in the illustrated embodiment are the same and will not be repeated here.
[0114] Step S403: If the evaluation indicators do not meet the preset values, reset the strategy parameter group and input it together with the key supply chain data into the simulation model of the target strategy type to obtain the corresponding inventory characteristic data.
[0115] Specifically, if the values in the strategy parameter group are set incorrectly, causing the evaluation indicators to fail to meet the preset values (such as a high stockout rate), then the values in the strategy parameter group need to be adjusted, and the calculation process from step S401 to step S402 needs to be repeated.
[0116] Depending on the specific circumstances of the numerical errors in the strategy parameter group and the degree of deviation between the evaluation indicators and preset values, the strategy parameter group can be adjusted in different ways. For example, if it is simply an input error, it can be adjusted to the correct value. If the settings are unreasonable and lead to a high stockout rate, parameters such as increasing the replenishment frequency need to be increased.
[0117] In one embodiment of this solution, the strategy parameter group can also be manually adjusted based on expert experience, with the strategy parameters adjusted through evaluation by relevant personnel.
[0118] Step S404: Determine the evaluation indicators corresponding to the inventory characteristic data.
[0119] Specifically, this step is related to step S402. Figure 2 The content of step S202 in the illustrated embodiment is the same, and will not be repeated here.
[0120] Step S405: Repeat the steps of resetting the strategy parameter group until the corresponding evaluation index is calculated, until the set conditions are met.
[0121] Specifically, if the strategy parameter set obtained after adjusting the parameters in sequence still fails to pass the test of the preset value, it is necessary to repeat the process of setting the strategy parameter set and substituting it into the simulation model for calculation until the corresponding evaluation index is calculated and evaluated.
[0122] In one embodiment of this solution, the set conditions include at least one of the following:
[0123] The number of times the strategy parameter group is repeatedly set reaches the set number;
[0124] The indicators corresponding to the strategy parameter group meet the preset values.
[0125] Specifically, since the strategy parameter group can only serve as a predictive guide, there may be situations where the corresponding indicators cannot meet the preset values (if they do, the process should stop and output the results directly). The calculation will also end after the settings are adjusted a few times. If the set business target (predicted sales or predicted activity sales) differs significantly from historical sales data (e.g., the expected sales of a certain product are too high, exceeding the records), it may be impossible to guarantee that indicators such as the stockout rate meet the preset values when combining the settings with historical supply chain indicators.
[0126] Step S406: Determine the supply chain strategy based on the strategy parameter group, inventory characteristic data and target strategy type corresponding to the conditions set.
[0127] Specifically, when the strategy parameter group meets the set conditions, the method for calculating the supply chain strategy can be referred to steps S305 to S307, which will not be repeated here.
[0128] According to the supply chain strategy determination method of this disclosure, key supply chain data and a preset set of strategy parameters are input into a simulation model of the target strategy type. Inventory characteristic data is output, and evaluation indicators are calculated based on the inventory characteristic data. If the evaluation indicators do not meet the preset values, the preset set of strategy parameters is adjusted, and the results are recalculated in the simulation model until the final result is obtained. Therefore, the strategy parameter set can be automatically optimized based on key supply chain data and business objectives, improving the feasibility and reliability of the supply chain strategy.
