Abstract

In China, many retail chains continue to rely on traditional, unsystematic business strategies, leaving them ill-equipped to address issues such as excess inventory, declining revenue, and customer attrition. To meet these challenges, retail chains must transform their business strategies to align with the demands of the new retail era. This paper first identifies issues in Yonghui Supermarket’s inventory management, such as insufficient collaboration with suppliers, excessive safety stock for certain products, and an unattractive product mix, and provides an in-depth analysis of the underlying causes. Regarding optimization strategies, specific measures are proposed, including strengthening cooperation with suppliers, improving the accuracy of demand forecasting and upgrading inventory control, as well as optimizing the product mix and procurement strategies. This study provides valuable insights and guidance for optimizing Yonghui Supermarket’s inventory management. By implementing these optimization strategies, Yonghui Supermarket is expected to improve its inventory management practices, enhance operational efficiency, and achieve sustainable development. It also offers valuable insights and lessons for other retail enterprises seeking to improve their inventory management.
