The main target of supply chain management is to control inventory of each node enterprise effectively with the minimum cost. In this paper, the control strategies and methods of inventory based on supply chain management are put forward, which are significant for saving the cost of supply chain and improving the overall benefits of the whole chain.

Now-a-days, supply chain management is one of the crucial factors in business for identifying the flow of goods, raw material storage, movement of products and inventory process so on. The main aim of the supply chain management process is to provide the valuable business services, infrastructure, logistic control and inventory control to the business for improving the business. Among the various supply chain factors, inventory control is one of the difficult tasks in supply chain management process because of high cost inventory, consistent stockouts, low rate of inventory turnover, high value of obsolete inventory, maximum working capital, huge cost for storage and lot customers. Then, several supply chain management techniques are introduced in traditional to control the inventory process but they are failing to detect with greatest accuracy due to the low convergence rate in computation techniques. So, in this paper introduce the effective and optimized neural network computational approach for managing the inventory control. In addition to this, the system ability to select the product based on the few factors that improve the inventory control system accuracy. Then the excellence of the system is evaluated using experimental analysis and respective performance metrics.

This paper employs a simulation model in a Supply Chain Management (SCM) system. This study is one of the first to present simulation model of inventory control system in supply chain management using barcode and Radio Frequency Identification (RFID). The main objective of this model is to compare two inventory systems in a supply chain, one using RFID, versus the barcode. The model will help company to consider moving from a barcode system to the RFID application. A quantitative analysis based on a simulation model is developed. The model runs for both systems using ARENA simulation software with a comparison between the two systems. Furthermore, the simulation model is tested by applying three different types of demand for both scenarios. The results have shown that regardless of demand distribution pattern and customer order rate, the outcomes of the model are consistent and provide promising RFID technology adoption to improve inventory control of the entire supply chain system. The installation and unit cost of RFID implementation were estimated and considered to be the main barrier. Such model can offer the policymakers insight into how RFID might improve SCM system performance. Additional test has been conducted for demand with normal and triangular distributions using real data provided by ABC-Dubai Company. The results obtained from running the two models for these distributions are consistent with the original results.
