Abstract: There are many kinds of auto parts, and there are many difficulties in inventory control. Moreover, the development of domestic parts inventory control is still not mature, which leads to the low efficiency of the whole supply chain. There are a lot of inventory control model proposed by scholars at home and abroad, such as vendor managed inventory (VMI), jointly managed inventory (JMI), manufacturing resource planning (MRPII) and collaborative planning, forecasting and replenishment (CPFR). The effect of these methods on inventory control and management at the same time, there are also many problems, such as too much emphasis on manufacturing enterprises, focusing on manufacturing business interests, while ignoring the other members of the supply chain, resulting in uneven distribution of benefits, this is the long existing problem of supply chain. From the perspective of supply chain, this paper reviews the research on inventory control of auto parts, and hopes to bring a breakthrough in inventory control.
