Collaborative system model construction and simulation optimization of e-commerce enterprise supply chain

ABSTRACT

With the rise and rapid development of the e-commerce industry, the pressure borne by the supply chain of e-commerce enterprises is increasing, which greatly increases the complexity and uncertainty of inventory management in the e-commerce supply chain. The study integrates system dynamics and collaborative supply chain inventory management to construct a new model. The study first uses the concept of system dynamics to optimize the supply chain inventory management system; then the collaborative supply chain is used to construct a system model by combining the optimized management system. The results show that the collaborative supply chain inventory management model constructed by the study can better accelerate the product turnover rate, improve the overall operational efficiency and market competitiveness of the supply chain, and can provide new support for the development of e-commerce enterprises.
