时尚产品生命周期短，需求不确定性极强。这种不确定性给库存管理带来了挑战，因为在时尚行业，匹配供需始终很困难。在本文中，我们回顾了有关时尚行业库存管理的最新文献。我们按照四种广泛使用的研究方法对现有文献进行分类，包括分析方法、实证方法、案例研究方法和模拟方法。我们认为，库存所有权、信息技术和提高库存效率的激励计划是加强时尚行业库存管理的关键因素。我们认为奢侈时尚的库存管理、库存的可持续性以及实证和案例研究方法是未来研究的最重要方向。
Fashion products have a short-life-cycle with highly volatile demand uncertainty. This uncertainty leads to challenges in managing inventory, as matching supply and demand is always difficult in the fashion industry. In this paper, we review the recent literature on fashion industry inventory management. We classify the extant literature by four widely-used research methodologies, including analytical, empirical, case study and simulation approaches. We identify that inventory ownership, information technology, and incentive schemes for increasing inventory efficiency are the key factors to enhance inventory management in the fashion industry. We propose that inventory management of luxury fashion, sustainability in inventory, and empirical and case study approaches are the most important directions for future research.
