RESEARCH ON SUPPLY CHAIN INVENTORY CONTROL FROM DYNAMIC COMPLEXITY PERSPECTIVE-TAKING THE IMPACT OF RFID INTO CONSIDERATION

This paper studies the impact factors and solutions for improving management performance of supply chain inventory control system based on the principles of system dynamics and artificial simulation from the perspective of dynamic complexity. This paper also takes the impact of RFID on the supply chain management into consideration under the context of the Internet of things. We think that "System Structure", "Control Policy" and "Control Parameters" are three kinds of important factors to affect the performance of supply chain inventory management; and presents the "structural solutions" of adjusting the ordering cycle to match lead time, the "strategic solutions" based on taking the order bill amounts and the goods in transit into account, and the "operational solutions" based on parameter control. Then this paper probes the ways of their influence on the management performance under the condition of centralized control and decentralized control. Results show that the effectiveness of these three solutions on management performance is increasing under the condition of centralized control and is decreasing under the condition of decentralized control in turn. The results further show that the system thinking is important and effective to deal with the dynamic complex systems.
