Automotive parts, Inventory classification, Supply-demand uncertainty, Inventory managementAbstract
The automotive manufacturing industry plays a pivotal role in China’s economy, with a steadily increasing market demand. Effective inventory management is crucial for ensuring service quality, cost control, and supply chain efficiency, particularly in the automotive parts manufacturing sector. This review synthesizes existing inventory classification methods and explores various inventory management strategies under supply chain uncertainties. By critically analyzing the current literature, this study identifies key research gaps and outlines future research directions. The findings provide a theoretical foundation for enhancing the precision and intelligence of inventory management while improving the industry's ability to mitigate supply chain uncertainties.
