Study On It Product Distribution Cost Optimization From The Perspective Of Supply Chain

From an international perspective,the development history of the global IT product distribution industry is relatively short,with a history of only more than 50 years since its inception,but its development process is extremely rapid.The distribution market has entered a mature stage from the initial sprouting,the number of distribution companies has also grown rapidly,and the market competition has become increasingly fierce.Especially in recent years,with the changes in the international economic environment and the development of modern technology,the economic development pattern has also undergone major changes.The rapid development of the direct selling model represented by e-commerce has brought a huge impact on the development of the distribution industry.The overall profit level of the distribution industry has declined,the operating income of the distribution companies in the industry has also fallen sharply,the distribution cost has remained high,and the profit margin of distributed products has gradually narrowed,and the development of distribution companies is facing severe challenges.In the environment where the market structure of IT products is basically formed and the consumer market tends to be stable,IT product distribution companies are trying to increase their income,and how to reduce distribution costs more effectively has become an urgent issue in the development of IT product distribution companies.one of the important issues.On the basis of sorting out the relevant literature at home and abroad,and guided by the relevant theories of supply chain management and distribution,this paper selects the company S(a company in China,one of the three major distributors of IT products in the world)that I work for,based on the company Consideration of trade secrets and intellectual property protection,the full text is represented by S)as a case,and analyzes the current situation and existing problems of S company’s distribution cost management from the aspects of procurement,inventory,transportation,and information.From the perspective of the chain,it puts forward suggestions for optimizing the distribution cost of IT products.The study found that there are still many problems in the current distribution cost management of S company,such as weak bargaining power with suppliers,uneconomical inventory cost,poor coordination of ordering at each node of the supply chain,and unreasonable transportation network design.Aiming at the existing problems and their cause analysis,from the perspective of supply chain,the countermeasures and suggestions for optimizing the distribution cost of IT products are put forward from the aspects of procurement,inventory,transportation,information,basic work and forward-looking research.The research of this paper expands the connotation of the concept of cost and the research horizon of cost optimization to a certain extent,and can provide a certain basis and reference for IT product distribution enterprises to make management decisions to reduce costs and increase efficiency,and then realize the optimization of distribution costs.It provides new ideas for other distribution enterprises in the industry to further strengthen cost management.
