Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of supply chain method attachments, and in particular to a dual-channel supply chain system for cyclical forecasting and replenishment. Background Art

[0002] As people's consumption awareness continues to increase, the requirements for clothing are also constantly increasing, and the clothing industry has ushered in tremendous development. The clothing supply chain refers to the core enterprise (clothing brand), starting from the designer's design draft, through the integration of fabrics and accessories and ready-made clothing, making samples and final bulk goods, and finally delivering the clothing to consumers through the sales network, connecting suppliers (fabric and accessories suppliers), garment factories, brand agents and distributors to the final consumer users into a whole functional network chain structure. In recent years, the development of e-commerce has enabled many clothing manufacturers to open up online sales channels in order to sell products directly to consumers. After opening up online sales channels, it is also necessary to reorganize the online supply chain, making the supply chain of clothing companies become a dual-channel supply chain model that coexists online and offline.

[0003] This model combines the convenience of e-commerce and the experience of physical stores. The online channel refers to the sale of goods and services through the Internet, which allows consumers to browse and purchase goods anytime and anywhere, enjoy a fast transaction process and possible door-to-door delivery services. The offline channel refers to traditional face-to-face sales methods involving physical stores, specialty stores, dealers, etc. Consumers can directly touch and try products in these places, and get instant help and services from sales staff to meet immediate shopping needs or enjoy on-site experience. The existing dual-channel supply chain supply and replenishment methods often use QR strategies. QR strategies are a method used to supply and replenish dual-channel supply chains in daily life.

[0004] In the existing research methods, channel demand is not only affected by the price of the channel itself but also by the cross-price of the two channels. Let D r is the demand of offline channels, D o is the demand of online channel, and the offline price is P r , the online price is P o , 1-θ is the customer's preference for offline channels, θ is the customer's preference for online channels, A is the original total demand; α is the price sensitivity coefficient of demand, β is the cross-price sensitivity coefficient, α>β, the price of different channels has an impact on the demand of different channels, so (1-θ)A is the demand level of offline channels, θA is the demand level of online channels, and the demand functions of the two channels are as follows: D r =(1-θ)A-αP r +βP o ;D o =θA-αPo +βP r .

[0005] When using the QR strategy, retailers set an order point (Q) and order quantity (R). When the inventory level drops to Q, an order is placed to replenish it to the R level. This method requires accurate demand forecasting and the support of an efficient inventory management system. In the use of existing QR strategies, it is found that the online and offline inventory and sales data may not be completely synchronized, resulting in information asymmetry, affecting the accuracy of replenishment decisions, and there may be conflicts of interest between different channels, making coordination difficult, resulting in low working efficiency of the method. Summary of the invention

[0006] The purpose of the present invention is to provide a dual-channel supply chain system for cyclical forecasting and replenishment, which overcomes the shortcomings of the prior art and solves the problems existing in the prior art.

[0016] S3: Digital collaborative platform system;
