This paper studies inventory share policies for sustainable omni-channel e-commerce supply network design by seeking for a good integration policy of online and offline retailers so that the overall supply network reduce its cost, environmental negative impacts by the decreased number of shipments from the main depot, and increase its responsiveness. By the recent advancement in information technologies and internet use, e-commerce practice gained popularity also to keep up with the competitive environment. The increased competitive supply chain environment has revealed the business-to-business (B2B) concepts enabling business applications between companies. Strategic alliance is a partnership concept realized between two or more organizations ensuring that stages are managed with consideration of the welfare of the others in the whole network. By considering that there are inventory share policies between stages, we accept the existence of strategic alliance implementation in the network, aiming to increase total network flexibility and profitability as well as sustainability in the network. In the study, we research inventory share policies towards strategic alliance concept to have a network design with a decreased negative effect of demand uncertainty and increased profitability in the network. By inventory share policies, businesses share their current inventories with the others so that transportation cost and CO2 emission caused by traffic intensity is decreased in the network. We propose six inventory share policy combinations and optimize the (s, S) inventory levels under those policies by minimizing total network cost. We utilize the simulation modeling approach for the modeling purpose. We compare the policy results based on the total network cost, the total number of shipments completed from the main warehouse, and total lost sale cost, etc., at the optimal levels and suggest the best policy design.

可持续全渠道电子商务网络的库存共享政策设计

本文研究了可持续的全渠道电子商务供应网络设计的库存共享政策，通过寻求在线和离线零售商的良好整合策略，使整个供应网络降低其成本，减少来自供应链的发货数量对环境的负面影响。 main depot，并提高其响应能力。随着信息技术和互联网使用的最新进展，电子商务实践也越来越受欢迎，以跟上竞争环境。竞争日益激烈的供应链环境揭示了企业对企业 (B2B) 概念，支持公司之间的业务应用程序。战略联盟是两个或多个组织之间实现的伙伴关系概念，确保在考虑整个网络中其他人的福利的情况下管理阶段。考虑到阶段之间存在库存共享政策，我们接受网络中战略联盟实施的存在，旨在提高网络的整体灵活性和盈利能力以及网络的可持续性。在研究中，我们研究了针对战略联盟概念的库存份额政策，以实现网络设计，以减少需求不确定性的负面影响并提高网络中的盈利能力。通过库存共享政策，企业与其他企业共享当前库存，从而降低网络中因交通强度而导致的运输成本和二氧化碳排放。我们提出了六种库存共享策略组合，并通过最小化总网络成本来优化这些策略下的（s，S）库存水平。我们利用仿真建模方法进行建模。我们根据网络总成本、从主仓库完成的发货总数、总损失销售成本等，在最佳水平上比较策略结果，并提出最佳策略设计。
