| Summary: | 碩士 === 國立臺北大學 === 會計學系 === 96 === The retailers used to provide various goods to response customers’ demand that always result in huge inventory cost. As a result, inventory management policy is critical to retailing companies. Many studies have indicated that using regional warehouse to manage storage and stock-out of inventory could help retailers reduce the storage cost and transportation cost. The primary objective of this research is to examine the impact of changing inventory management policy on store inventory management performance.
In this study, inventory turn over is used to measure the inventory management performance. First, the study used the simulate method to examine the performance effect of changing the inventory management policy. Then, the paper investigates the effect of actual changing the inventory management policy on store inventory management performance.
The simulate results indicate that inventory turn over increases after changing the inventory management policy. However, the store inventory turn over did not improve after the case retailer changing inventory management policy. The simulate results and real results are different. It meant that store performance didn’t be improved after the retailer set up the regional warehouses. According to discussion with top managers, lacking of organizational communication, enforcement of policy and short of practical period might led to failures of inventory management policy.
